I’m not actually angry except when it comes to climate change I: work in environmental science, have fun with video game music covers and arrangements, sing in a choir, lift increasingly heavy weights, try to encourage kindness and good mental health

Social media sucks unless we choose to use it in a way that doesn’t suck. Be kind!

not sure if it counts but a few years ago I did a barbershop arrangement of a Sam and Max song!

Erik is a fantastic person to work with, l wouldn’t have been able to release an album without him!

I really can not thank @vikingguitar.bsky.social enough. Most of my projects pass thru his hands and all sound AMAZING because of his involvement. If you ever need mixing or mastering do not hesitate to hit him up.

My 9 year old and his classmates have started using “that’s AI” to mean “I don’t believe you.”

No air quality warnings as of right now but it could change quickly, of course.

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

If you're thinking about using AI for a graphic, lemme stop you right there. I don't care what it is: it would be better hand drawn by a child on crumpled up notebook paper and scanned into your pc than to use AI.

Adding that Metro Vancouver issues them for MVRD and FVRD.

angrypolarbear @angrypolarbear.bsky.social · Sep 9

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social When CBC Vancouver news on the radio reports air quality warnings they are always attributed to Environment Canada and never to the BC Ministry of Environment and Parks, even though it’s provincial staff who issue the warnings. Is there a reason for that?

angrypolarbear @angrypolarbear.bsky.social · Sep 7

Does anyone know of any weekend / casual or contract work that I could potentially pick up if I need to supplement my strike pay over the next little while?

Local to Vancouver or remote

me on strike with the British Columbia general employees union, wearing a placard that says “air quality experts deserve fair wages, right?”

if I keep putting in this same level of effort, maybe in another six years I’ll look like someone who goes to the gym sometimes
