We're gonna get invaded, aren't we...

A very Canadian question. What are your recommendations for a good Maple Syrup? 🍁

I don't know what my daughter made me draw. But I think I nailed it. The death's head on the hat kinda threw me off ngl

Winnipeg guy on Light Rail Transit.

Top tier analyses of my kid's play.

He made the @winnipegjets.com jumbotron!

Hey @wpgmurat.bsky.social! We're visiting your work!

I remember those in my family murdered in the Holocaust. May we speak and act against all forms of discrimination. May their memories be a blessing. #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social @sobibor.bsky.social

Fixed today's headline.

@fpkevinrollason.bsky.social Here is my mothers obit in Saturdays Free Press passages.winnipegfreepress.com/passage-deta...

Here is my mum's obituary in today's @winnipegfreepress.com. passages.winnipegfreepress.com/passage-deta...

Working for a Count & Countess, fighting for French Immersion, caring for children, campaigning for the #Manitoba NDP. Read all about my mum who passed away on Saturday. She was a remarkable person who did so much. www.ethicaldeathcare.com/obits/jacks-...

My father & I were discussing what music mum (who passed away at 77 this weekend) would have liked for her life tribute: We landed on: - Iron Butterfly - Leonard Cohen - Metallica - The Prodigy - Eminem - Rage Against the Machine She was so freakin' cool.

The thing with mental health challenges is it feels like you are fighting alone (even if you're not), because the "enemy" is your own brain. If that makes sense. Anyways. Nerves on the fritz today.

Yes, I'm sharing a Torah/bible verse on Bluesky. But as a bald guy, this verse alone makes me a believer.

January 8, 1944. My great-grandfather's business partner, Salomon Barchasch, is murdered in @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social He wrote a postcard from @kampwesterbork.bsky.social noting that he saw my family board the trains to @sobibor.bsky.social in 1943. The last reference to my family.

Unique northern lights tonight. Like towers of light rising up from the city.

War Mobilization Cross and Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten pin awarded (posthumously) in 2022 to my grandfather. One of the few (if any?) German-born recipients of these Dutch resistance medals.

Arrived in Bluesky from X. I generally post about my Holocaust family research. Sometimes about Winnipeg. Sometimes about work. Sometimes about birds. Sometimes about life.
