I have less than 2 weeks till I return to work after being off 15 months. My mat leave started early because of my blood clot complications forcing me to stop working at 7 months pregnant. This is the longest I've been "off" work. I'm nervous about physically managing work and parenting.
there are going to be many remembrances of Tim Curry today for his brilliant work in Rocky Horror and Clue and so much more, but to me this ridiculous bit from Red Alert sums up everything that made him great you never knew what you were going to get with him, but whatever it was would be brilliant

If not for Tim Curry, Brennan wouldn't have gotten a job at CollegeHumor, and Dropout would be a very different place today...
Did anyone check to see if any bike lanes were torn out while we were all distracted by the fireworks? I mean this is the oldest trick in the book. #newwest
The People Parks & Play strategic plan approved by #NewWest Council is a roadmap for the next phase of Parks&Rec investments starting with the renewal of our outdoor sports courts in Hume, Grimston and Moody parks, and (soon!) our first outdoor covered sports box. tinyurl.com/PeopleParksPlay
If #NWP "has a zero-tolerance approach to bigotry" as @chardesil.bsky.social wrote, #DanielFontaine ought not have legitimated the #NewWestminsterTimes blog at #NewWest Council. If the NWP respects #NewWestPride they'd not have promoted on FB their participation in an event they weren't invited to.
Not Invited — New West PRIDE

#newwest pride yesterday NWP claim to be supporters of the Queer community yet refused to acknowledge the fact they have endorsed writers who promotes transphobia via local "journalism" Pride new west didn't want them there but NWP socials make it look like everyone gets along.
Residential school denialism is not free expression, it is hate speech. Saying children didn’t die at Canadian residential schools should get you a fine and a jail term, not take up valuable court space. Yes this a reference to a #NewWest “news” thingy that wants to sit at the big kids table.
It's great to see that our city's caring is being shared in other communities struggling with the same need 💞 #NewWest

This happens in #NewWest - when there’s a municipal election now, our so-called progressive party runs around telling everyone that the sky is falling. Thanks for that Daniel “Henny Penny” Fontaine.
Clare Blackwood@clareblackwood.bsky.social · last mo.Hi, I'm Brad Bradford. I'm running for mayor because Toronto is a terrifying lawless hellscape where crime is higher than ever — no no, don't read the stats on this, listen to your feelings! Be afraid! Be very afraid! Have 1000 more cops! Also if you disagree I am more than willing to say otherwise!
So proud to open Pier Park West. Mayors Wright and Cote both showed great leadership in re-connecting #NewWest to the Riverfront, it’s an honour to be here and see the legacy continue.
As I received this news today here in British Columbia, the wildfire smoke blankets the sky, our eyes are burning and our kid is complaining of a sore throat from it. And we’re the lucky ones. 🧵 www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Stopped for a walk mid run and the rain stopped. I can't romanticize everything but when I run solo outside nowadays I try really hard to. (I love stroller running but solo running is now a luxury) #running #postpartumfitness
The NWP have an accountant as a candidate and they still can’t get basic math right. They’re either incompetent or are being intentionally wrong so they can score political points, either option means they’re unfit for office. #NewWest

We had another smokey day and some fire weather is on the way. Fingers crossed for a good outcome in the coming days

here's a photo of someone with an O² tank hurrying to revive a senior who passed out waiting for a bus (no shelter or seating) here's some roofers, walking off the job site as management didn't bother with protective measures here's people sleeping in the park because their homes will kill them

Eby very much does not get everything right, but damn, he can drop a quote: “I feel sorry for the Americans. If you can’t be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have a friend anywhere in the world - and that is a very lonely place to be.”
The heat is so draining I can't blame PP on this I've always struggled in the heat but now as a new parent I find it even more exhausting.
I have only experienced this through a friend who uses a wheelchair due to her leg amputation: when she was able to purchase a new one it was because of a go fund me and my heartbroke.
Trudi@trudiagogo.bsky.social · last mo.Just ordered a manual wheel chair for my partner and I'm pretty sure I've bought cars that cost less. I've always known that living with a disability is really expensive. Now we're just living it.
