I know there are many other things in the world to be angry about, but I reserve a place in my heart for #yvr drivers who pretend they don’t know how a crosswalk works. May your transmission crumble and your tires always be flat.

If you're in Metro Vancouver, and you're looking for a cat, you should consider dropping by CARES. They're good folks and they run on a shoestring budget. I'm sure they'd also love more donations/fostering volunteers.

Not finding I have much appetite for dark academia, but petty academia I could go for. Been looking forward to this one and I trust that many more scones will be eaten!

I’m not sure I believe that this “Maverick Handley” is a real baseball player. That’s clearly a pseudonym.

It seems pretty straightforward to me, Canada, the UK, and France threatened "further concrete action" if Israel did not stop its expansion of the settlement enterprise and its blockade of Gaza. Israel has not complied with either demand, so when will concrete action be taken?

#booksky Off the Map, an anthology of Vancouver writers with lived experience of mental health issues, is out on shelves, and if you’re in #yvr, today would be a great day to stop by @crossandcrowsbooks.bsky.social to get it! (You should probably also get Martyr! while there. It’s very good.)

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Okay the areas where most of the people on Bluesky are (particularly Khan Younis) are being displaced- so I am going to start a master thread here of people who need help with evacuation. I’ll keep adding to it so check the bottom part too:
