@sharethecities.bsky.social Did you hear this episode? www.npr.org/2025/05/02/1...

I wouldn’t call Hallmark movies propaganda…

At this point it's almost annoying listening to journalists trying to constructively engage with anyone in this shitass administration. You should only be talking to them in the voice of a circa 2004 Daily Show correspondent

To all the urbanists and advocates and community leaders out there fighting to improve their cities … “May The 4th Be With You” (happy Jane Jacobs Birthday)!

Why, oh why is anyone still on "X"? I don't get it. Government departments, municipalities, police departments, media outlets - seriously, what gives?

Patients deserve protection from airborne viruses. Whether it’s a routine visit or a critical test, health care providers across Canada must do better. #HealthCareNotCareless

Regardless who wins #election2025 #cdnpoli, the events over the last three days in #Vancouver affirm the utter importance of a well funded public broadcaster, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to keep Canadians informed and aware #fundtheCBC

Poilievre losing his seat is almost Shakespearean: Pretender to the throne riles countrymen with anger, gets defeated by guy with Joy in his name. It’s basically Macbeth.

I'm on a self-imposed (anxiety reducing) election blackout. Got the head phones on listening to banging tunes on full volume. 1st up Blondie's "dreaming" (RIP Clem Burke). Tap me on the shoulder when it's over. www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2U2...

One of the victims in the Lapu Lapu festival attack was Kira Salim. New West Pride: "They were an epic drag king, a wonderful exuberant contributer to our local community, volunteer, activist, local educator, mental health worker."
