Now this is how you title a fundraising email, @movementyvr.bsky.social

Go donate to Movement to spite Bob Mackin’s insufferable claims that young caring people who can barely afford to live in this region are really just developer shills rolling in pools of gold coins.

Yes my mini train is purely for decor (also because I could only get an orange one). That thing does not hold up to how brutal I am on my wallet and keys.

Did you know Waterfront just keeps the keychains in stock now without giant lineups? This is the best day.

It’s an exceptionally weird Vancouver thing that when you are on a structured walking tour event, random people walking by will inevitably just join in.

I have never had this happen anywhere else. This almost always happens here. Today two random people have joined our conference (with big badges).

To be fair, I don’t think this was the fastest but I had the time and I just wanted a bus that actually had a seat for once.

Not be forever questioning who would ever take the 7 from Nanaimo Station to Dunbar now taking it down Nanaimo to Kits…

I think traffic but then the trolley bus itself is a huge limitation when in traffic - causes bus bunching without the capacity to pass each other when so backed up you’ve got two in a row, also bunching up other routes in the core. One bus turns wrong downtown, pops off a wire, everything is late.

Skytrains: so good.
North-south trolley buses: the bane of my existence.

If you go to a Michael’s store today, they’ll be out front until 6.

Rewatching Ted Lasso and it is absolutely as perfect as every other time I’ve watched it. What a perfect show in this terrible world.

Aha. That would explain it - thank you!!

Is this forest fire smoke or is there some kind of fire in East Van? And also how do we find anything out in real time anymore without Twitter because this site just doesn’t have the density.

I’d watch that

It’s one think for a strike when the corporation is making massive amounts of money and not sharing equitable wages with the workers, but what are you supposed to do when a company is constantly almost bankrupt. What is the resolution here?

For the first time in my entire life I have mail delivery to my front door and it is immediately taken from me. I am cursed.

(This is fine, community mailboxes are great because they safely hold packages. Also I was clever and placed my girl guide enrollment order a month ago.)

Jon Stewart interviewing Maria Ressa is the anti-facist energy I need at this party right now.

I cannot wait to watch Jon Stewart’s out of retirement Daily Show Kimmel segment tonight. Let’s go.

The stuff Jeffrey Epstein’s friends felt comfortable saying and drawing in grotesque detail with their names attached knowing they would not face consequences is the kind of thing I think of when I think about rape culture and how sexual violence against girls and young women is actually glorified

Bobcaygeon in the Kawartha’s hits different, especially on a boat, despite the last time I was on a boat in Bobcaygeon I fell off and broke my arm. 🙃

In the most urbanist fashion, I just walked around a bunch. In new sandals and now my feet at a wreck. Solid day.

What do I do this evening in Toronto? (After visiting the Spacing store which I am currently racing to before it closes) Please provide your best urbanist ideas.
