Big kudos to all involved in the School District Honour Band & Honour Choir concert last night. It's wonderful to see these highly dedicated kids have their skills showcased like this each year.

When newly-elected Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson started converting car lanes to bike lanes in 2009, pundits claimed it was political suicide. In 2018, he stepped down after three terms as the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. So what can this tale teach us about so-called "bikelash"?🧵

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles on protected cycling infrastructure on the streets of Downtown Vancouver.

It was first observed as Orange Shirt Day in 2013 and was elevated to a statutory holidy for federal workers in 2021.

Well. I managed to burn myself making mac & cheese tonight. Dinner turned out great, but I have a large red patch on my stomach from splashing myself with boiling water.
I didn't latch the pot lid when straining the pasta and KERSPLASH!

So terribly patronizing. And possessive. Just gross. No. Bad Neelix! This is how we become single!

Ryan Noakes 🇨🇦 @ryannoakes.bsky.social · Sep 23

Yup. Hopefully society will start trending towards caring for everyone and generally focusing on the greater good.

Yeah... I already needed to be pretty selective of which games I spent my nearly non-existent fun money on. Now I buy fewer games.
