This was one of the most magical things that I have ever been part of. And as it turns out, the love of my life was also in that room! We didn't meet for another 6 months, but I think we somehow carried this energy with us until we found each other again 🥰 (cc @miaugly.bsky.social i love you darlin)

Hi all! We were so excited about OFMD’s birthday we missed this anniversary. 3500 pirate fans at the ECCC panel with Rhys, Vico, and Samba. Singing our hearts out to The Chain to start it all off. From @sambaschutte.bsky.social ‘s instagram post.

This entire thing has been so incredibly infuriating, insulting, and embarrassing. I am proud to work for the City of Vancouver - and I am ashamed that this is our leader. The people of this City deserve better - let's get it for ourselves in October.

There's a dismissive contemptuousness in Sim's answers to the media that would fit right in with the administration down south. We have to firmly reject this in Vancouver. youtube.com/shorts/_wktm...

In light of Sim saying that he said Orr dealt drugs based on seeing a mystery photo from a mystery person, I think it’s important to reflag this. If this is an uncharitable interpretation, the mayor is free to provide more details of how he ended up seeing such a photo and believing it.

inspiringly hopeful session on the loss of the Institute for Museum & Library Services. so many stories we can tell about the "transformative, utility level impact” of libraries in every community, and ways those stories can help secure funding for US libraries going forward #internetlibrarian

They're building 50, 60, and 70 floor buildings in the burbs. But in Vancouver, right by Commercial Station, institutional NIMBYism means even a 44 floor rental apt is a years-long fight. Please write in to support rental housing in Vancouver--details below!

Comments: 	I feel lied to! A 44 storey building? Next to one of the busiest transit stations in the country? These aren't megatowers, these are NORMAL towers!

Why are we underbuilding at such a great location for homes??

I want megatowers!!!!

i love being gay, it brings me so much joy in so many ways - but one reason is that in relationships, we're just people. with baggage and problems to work through together, sure - but without this binary system constantly telling one of us to man up and the other to clean up after them.

This viral tiktok made me think of a fantastic article by my friend @melaniehamlett.bsky.social “men have no friends & women bear the burden”

Sinners invites a new bold business idea. What if people want to see movies because they like them and not due to a pavlovian response to being 12 years old once!?
