Looking forward to seeing this doc. I'm a big fan of sitting outside, watching life go by and having friends and neighbours stop to chat. Or strangers even. I would do this regularly when I lived in TO, it's a great way of getting to know the locals. Still do so nowadays, enjoying #porchLife in #yyj
Spacing@spacing.bsky.social · last mo."A part of the overall concept is to try to capture that essence of summertime in Toronto." Kaede Ashizawa talks to filmmaker Perry Walker about his project to talk to people who spend time on their front porches and balconies looking out on the street. spacing.ca/toronto/2026...
What an awful situation for someone to be in. This is so detestable. 😞

I use Bike Share to get around the city when I revisit Toronto each year for business. These new bikes sound great, especially the reflective paint job. Can't wait to try them out on my next trip #bikeTO #bikeShareTO
Tom Flood@tomflood.bsky.social · 3mo agoToronto's new eBike Share bikes are 🔥🔥🔥 1. Grey colour- Whole bike is reflective 2. Adaptive shifting 3. Built in phone holder 4. And ability to lock without a docking station for quick stops (at shops etc...) These are things that make choosing a bike way easier. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8Vk...
I love that the staff and students produced this video about Vic High School in Fernwood. It's cheesy, badly lip synched, but feels so welcoming and inclusive. It's over 7 minutes long, but very wholesome and worth the watch #yyj
Steffani Cameron 🇨🇦@snarkysteff.bsky.social · 2mo agoIncidentally, they have a non-binary kid excited to attend UVic, & a son is still in high school, & apparently this video of Vic High doing this cheesy lip synch got them so emotional, because he could never imagine his US school being like diverse AND goofy like this, and I'm glad Vic High is!
In Toronto. Went to my fave hole-in-the-wall noodle bar, Not Just Noodles yesterday to have Singapore-style with shrimp for dinner, only to discover it had closed permanently. Nooo!
Yesterday was a great day to dust off the travel Scrabble, go for a walk to find a picnic table in Ross Bay, soak up the sunshine, feel the sea breezes, and to see other folk out enjoying the beautiful weather in Victoria, BC. I scored a 7-letter word with these tiles!🤜 #yyj #scrabble #victoriaBC
I love the evening sunlight around this time of year as it slants into the bedroom at 7:39 p.m. Pacific
We had a rare sighting of a pelican down at Clover Point earlier this evening, just cruising from side to side on the updrafts from the sea before heading east towards Ross Bay. The video doesn't do it justice, but it was a big bugger. #pelicans #YYJ #cloverPoint
Creyke Point Trail today. Fairly easy to hike, with beautiful views out onto the Salish Sea
Not getting as much rain as I thought we would with this atmospheric river, here in #YYJ - why, it's even nice enough to go for a ride. Does anybody else wanna go for a ride? Anyone? Go for a ride..?

I took part in nationwide CND protests in the UK back in the '80s. In retrospect, those protests were so tame compared to what we're seeing now in the US, and in MN in particular. Unbelievable
Robin Bougie@robinbougie.bsky.social · 6mo agoComics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.
"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
Been thinking a bit about an old British sitcom I used to watch as a kid, Dad's Army, about a Home Guard platoon that would be on the frontline in the event of a German invasion across the English Channel. Such a funny show, though I guess I'm remembering it coz of the current doom & gloom #dadsArmy
In 2024 a friend who lived nearby asked me to look after her 5-month-old Zebedee whenever she went away and we have been bonding. But my friend just moved to SE Asia and Zeb now lives with her dad in another city so I don't know if I'll see the lil kitty again. He was cute #catsOfBluesky #caturday
Wow, @cheknews.ca. In this story about a cyclist being “hit” there is ZERO mention of any vehicle. All we apparently know is a cyclist was “hit” in an “incident” Hit by what? Could be anything! Do better @cheknews.ca #yyjbike #yyj
Homemade refried beans are so good. Sauté half a medium-sized, chopped onion in some olive oil until slightly translucent, then add two or three cloves of minced garlic to the pan and stir until the onion is just beginning to brown. #refriedBeans #mexicanCuisine #mexicanFood
