I started running this year after a hiatus of over 15 years. I’m much slower now. Today I ran the St Patrick’s 5k and signed up for the S&O Queen’s Park Classic 5k in April. It’s a great exercise in humility πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

… and even if you banned the drugs they would oppose it. They would just be forced to be more transparent about being concerned about property values.

What a farce. β€˜Oppose NW Drug Site’ as if no one in the area at present is a regular drug user. Every neighborhood has drug users. These clowns just dislike poor and/or homeless people who happen to be drug users.

I got this bullshit fearmongering flyer in my mailbox. β€œOppose NW Drug Site” WhatsApp group 😑

For what it’s worth, I live within the mapped area and I support this project. I will be certain to email the City and attend the community info session to prevent these clowns from drowning out reason

My kiddo is really into cassettes and their Walkman. They’ve bought new release cassettes from Bandcamp

I’m really happy to read about the on-site services. This has helped quell my concerns about the fairly remote location and potential hardship for mobility

…but when things went wrong - lines forgotten, mics staticky, etc - the performers were patient and adapted as required. These kids are ambitious, playful, patient, generous and resilient.

Last night I went to see a completely student-led musical at the local HS and I want to report that the kids are better than all right. Not only was the show excellent, and the audience of peers enthusiastically supportive,…

As shit just seems to continue to get worse globally, it is really easy to feel powerless against this scale of disregard of human life and the planet. Check in on your neighbours. Share cookies. Offer childcare and a ride to the doctor. Start a rewilding initiative. Participate in mutual aid.

It’s a weird location. Technically near the skytrain, but not easily reached by foot.

Jug Island, in Belcarra, looking into Indian Arm I think. It’s a beautiful sunny day with blue skies and calm water.

Today started with a beautiful hike; followed by the first lawn mow of the year; then 4 thrift stores in DTNW with my kid. Pretty much a perfect Saturday.

For me it’s been mostly happy accident. I’ve usually been rewarded when I’ve taken a risk, quit something that’s not bringing joy, and try something new that interests me. It’s not a destination, but a journey (cliche, I know) because what works today may not fit so well in the future.

Be interested in people. If they’d rather be alone they should choose that.

Borders are fake, but peaceful borders are better than perpetually warring fiefdoms.

I like this, it’s like the ethical standards that self-regulated professionals are expected to honour.
