Why is my feed full of Falklands Islands discourse?
I want to be very clear: I am not complaining, I am just trying to figure out why.

Introduce yourself with five animals you have seen in the wild
Humpback whale
Orcas
Charging moose
A tiny black bear cub
The incident when the dog brought a dead opossum into the house. It was playing possum.
And to this day I still occasionally have to convince people there are opossums in BC

If your immediate reaction to "Sunday Sunday Sunday" is to shout "at the Tacoma Dome" then you're a part of the PNW

I’m surprised to see a few people bothered by the term “Pacific Northwest“.
I get that it’s not as used here in Canada, and that not everyone in ON/QC will recognize it.
But apparently there are people in BC who reject the term.

There's surely a very limited number of people who love ska and also unironically like the Enterprise theme and I am definitely one of them.
This is the beauty of the internet, bringing people together to share niche mutual interests and I am here for it.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.
Everyone, give
@skatunenetwork.bsky.social
your money. They deserve it.

My partners sister got me a horseradish start for Christmas last year, and today I finally harvested the first bit.
If it's half as sharp and spicy as it smells it's going to be a potent horseradish!

I spent the week dragging myself forward with work while I got over that nasty head cold going around.
Well, I'm back up and running, and as a treat we're going out to see one of my favourite bands!

In @translink.ca budget discussions, and frankly we don’t talk enough about how Metro Vancouver is the 25th largest metro area in Canada/USA, but has the 3rd highest transit ridership. This is a massive success we sometimes take for granted.

This is a weirdly specific and pedantic post:
People should begin wearing poppies starting on the last Friday in October through to Remembrance Day.
Wearing it today feels performative rather than respectful.

Going to see a movie I adored as a teenager in a real movie theater shortly.
Groovy.
Shop Smart, shop S-Mart
Evil Dead 2.
I'm subjecting my partner to it too, she doesn't like gore, but I've promised it's funny gore?
Can't wait to see if it holds up.

Sometimes being an activist can feel defeating.
But then I remember that humpback whales were considered so endangered that an entire Star Trek movie was made about them in the 80s.
Now, because of the work of thousands, humpbacks are now a classified as a ‘species of least concern’.
