The Mariners have the salmon run and I would like to humbly suggest the Bluejays borrow the Vancouver Canadians’ sushi race

This would help with national unity youtu.be/SGTph11oTrU

Absolutely, and if there had been a hotel that met my needs and was within what insurance would pay for that would’ve been my preference, but there wasn’t.

I wound up in an Airbnb for a couple of weeks last year after a pipe burst and flooded my condo, and it mostly was to have a kitchen and not be forced to eat out every single meal until I could move back home.

The voids are learning to coexist, and possibly plotting against me…

I’m on staycation this week and had been considering a couple of days in Victoria…that’s why hotel availability and prices were even worse than usual!

A slightly belated intro to Morgana! I’ve had her for a week now and she’s made herself completely at home, though Baerd is still a bit unsure about the intruder. Like most 9 week old kittens, she has zero chill, and I think she’s going to wind up being the one in charge!

Having grown up in White Rock in the 80s and 90s, it still blows my mind that it has a skyline now

I live in a 3 storey condo building on a quiet side street that was built in the 70s, and I love it. It’s green and peaceful, but mere steps to the transit and shopping of a major road. Allowing up to 6 floors wouldn’t be a significant change, and would open this up to more people

Ken Sim and ABC have voted to bury Lucy Maloney’s motion that would have brought six floors and corner stores to side streets across Vancouver, unlocking thousands of family-friendly homes.

I can just see how that would go, given what you’ve said about the group. “What, this? Oh, I always travel with my own dining table. And of course that wasn’t a receipt from IKEA for this exact table, dated earlier today, that fell out of my purse when I was getting my passport out.”

I support a democratically elected park board. Part of democracy is ensuring that the government’s decisions match the city’s values.

Vancouver is a city for all its people. Trans people included. I am calling on the Park Board to rethink this event and make this right.

Harry Potter™: A Forbidden Forest Experience coming this fall to Stanley Park

September 3 2025 – The Vancouver Park Board is pleased to announce that a new special event is coming to Stanley Park this fall. For the first time in Canada, Harry Potter Fans™ of all ages will have an opportunity to explore a spellbinding illuminated trail inspired by the iconic Forbidden Forest.

Many of us at my job have had an argument with one coworker about leaving the tv in the lunch room tuned to the news. He just doesn’t get that most of us don’t consider catching out of context tidbits of breaking news while refilling your coffee the same as staying informed

Another Chloe blouse done! I got this gorgeous cotton in Arles last year and kept changing my mind about what to make with it, but this is the right choice. The buttons are handmade locally, and I won them as part of a door prize at a Frocktails a couple of weeks ago #garmentsewing

I live in Mount Pleasant and work a bit east of Brentwood, so I've been watching all those towers go up. Part of me would like a shorter commute, the larger part of me values my quality of life outside of work and living in a walkable neighbourhood way too much to even consider it...
