@adriandix.bsky.social 100%agree I do not want my contact info shared with political parties! If you want us to keep voting, you need to keep that info safe.
BC's democratic and electoral reform committee recommends requiring Elections BC to share voters' contact info (email, phone numbers) with political parties and candidates "under strict privacy guidelines"
To that I say: Ew 👎👎👎

I guess that's a good idea if you want large numbers of people to not vote anymore. What the actual fuck are these clowns thinking?

I love this so much.
When I went home to Mississippi last week, a Black farmer welcomed folks to pick greens from his land for free. It made me wonder whether other communities across the country were also giving back ahead of the holiday.
The answer: yes, they are.

“We don’t test for viruses in kids, not even for cohorting.”
I get that’s how it is, but that’s not how it should be… and I reckon most parents would not want their “sick enough to go to hospital” kid to be catching more bugs.
We must do better.

I am overjoyed that they closed this road so the red crabs could mate.
when we say we want more streets to be pedestrianized, this is what we mean

There are so many that they form the base of a lot of food webs, including filter-feeding whale sharks who swallow them by the thousands.
Those that survive a few months will return to forage in the forests until they're about 3 yrs old & reach sexual maturity, ready to join Crab Spring Break.

None of our institutions or our government should be using Twitter/X for public service announcements. It’s like employing Joseph Goebbels to be your PR guy.
The LUAS Red Line was thrown into chaos at rush hour this evening due to an incident at St James's. In order to find out what was going on with the service, the LUAS expected thousands of affected passengers to check their X account. It's ridiculous, enraging, and at this stage totally unacceptable
I posted on X for the first time In ages. Immediately deleted the post. Holy Christ. It’s bad bad. Like sticking your head in a wasps nest

Here’s a simple solution to the cane toad invasion. And it costs just 66¢ a hectare
A narrow patch of land stands between the invasive species and the Pilbara – 27 million hectares where native species thrive. A new program taking aim at the cane toads’ Achilles heel.

It is not yet 8 PM and there is absolutely nothing left that I can do tonight to prepare for my flight tomorrow. It is a weird feeling, even though it is what I have worked toward. The notion occurs that I can just relax for the rest of the evening.
Uh, no. I haven’t a clue how to do that… 🤷🏻♀️🚀

Listening to gorgeous singing in a convent scene on a show, with two responses: pleasure; wishing it was an ordinary voice. It is damaging us to think that all singing must be extraordinary to be good, moving, beautiful—right. We need to free our voices, all of them, and to love them in each other.🎵
