I don’t wanna act like a big fan for any politician, but it feels hopeful that Zohran Mumdani won in New York last night.

End of year school assembly. Awards for everyone and a recorder concert!

every new post, a dystopia

I hope Zohran Mamdani wins in New York today.

On social media, accounts like @pretendianhunter have been calling out suspected cases of Indigenous identity fraud. But one “hunter” has ended up at the centre of a defamation case that could shape the future of Canadian discourse on Indigenous identity. thewalrus.ca/can-you-be-sued-...

Congratulations to the class of 2025 from the Aboriginal Community Campus on Treaty 1!

This older fella just graduated. He crossed that stage, holding his diploma high in the air and yelled “look at this guys! I did it— it took me fifty years, but I did it!” I’m here for it!

Honoured to be at the Aboriginal Community Campus 26th Annual Graduation Ceremony, and to see my friend, Kevin Chief share an important and powerful message to the grads! 👩🏽‍🎓👨🏽‍🎓🧑🏽‍🎓♥️

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! It’s a beautiful day to celebrate. “Indigenous” is a big, broad term. We’re all connected, but we’re also distinct Nations with our own languages, cultures, and stories! There’s so much to learn and so much to celebrate.

In Gaza, nearly 100 Palestinians, including children, have been killed over the past day in Israeli attacks. Among those killed were more families who were seeking humanitarian aid amid an ongoing hunger crisis across the besieged territory.

This kind of shit is exactly why social media must be regulated. This asshole has 1 million followers. Disinformation is an extremely dangerous weapon that destroys society.

I’m on a bus! 🚌

Holy shit, Jonathan Toews is coming home?!

Why does it feel like the bullies of the world are unstoppable these days? Everything is just so very bleak, frightening and depressing.

I hit a giant pothole and have two flat tires. I’m so annoyed.

Last night 29 BC lawyers received the King’s Counsel (KC) designation for making exceptional contributions to the legal profession in British Columbia. Including my sister, Christina Cook, senior policy lawyer at BC First Nations Justice Council. Mire here: news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

Baseball is over. I’m home now. That was exhausting.

The game is still going. Less innings.

There’s a guy in the other team named Trevor Achenbach. I love his last name. It rhymes with itself.

The fact that this guy can bend his knees and crouch like this… Just jealous of that athleticism. It would take me six minutes to get up from this.

More people should go to Goldeyes games. The seats are emptyish ans it kinda makes me sad. They put in a lot of effort. That said, I’m mostly here for the food and the ushers who dance. I don’t really like baseball. Nine innings is excessive.

This part of the Goldeyes game is my favourite.

The next Rumble At The Burt is on my kid’s birthday. I’m trying to convince her that she wants to do that for her birthday.

At the Goldeyes game. Eating good.

This is devastating.

The June energy is real. You’re in the final boss battle of the school year and your kid’s acting like it’s Sunday morning in July. Honestly? Respect. But also, GET UP, CHILD!! 😂 You got this. Almost there.

At the grocery store. Sounds like a birthday parade!

DT’s sad little birthday party. So awkward.

If the panthers win the cup again, that’ll be so boring.

Andrew Coyne always looks like he’s seen twenty years into the future, but he’s not allowed to talk about it.

Incredible stuff.

Ms Rachel is an angel.

Of course they will be. People should boycott.

My knee still hurts real bad from when I fell in whistler last week. 😰

This jacket is my whole identity now.

I got this new coat and I’m obsessed with it.

Any good peanut allergy safe places to get ice cream?
