How exciting! With the opening of the new Indigenous law wing at the @uvic.ca students, facility, and community members can engage in dialogue around #Indigenous history and law, and expand their understanding of trauma-informed legal practice.
@Chesca Hause Come to Blue sky!
Or people can also go to her because tipping talent is a rad way to ethically rebel against (looks around) (insert news item).

I just learned about the CIHI podcast and it's fantastic. This one on substance use and mental health innovation and the urgency to take action is short, but filled with hope and useful data.
I haven't had FB in years either, but Oak Bay Local is an open group so I lurk there once in a while to get to see what people are talking about.
Damascus coming to Oak Bay. Will be good, drinks, meat, vegetables, chicken. Location in old Yumbrosia shop.
It should be open in a few weeks.
Damascus is coming to Oak Bay soon!
It's definitely a possibility 😜
Ummm considering I basically subsisted on cheese, crackers, and pickles for a good chunk of my life I can attest to the fact that we do in fact have pickles here in Canada.
I think the shelter now needs Mandatory Monday Moth Mornings for those kitties.
I just read All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders. It's a mix of fantasy, sci-fi, and unconventional love and connection.
Done!!
Four cyclists ride a road in Oak Bay with green foliage in the background and text overlayed describing our Active Transportation Strategy Questionnaire closing today.

@charliejane.bsky.social I'm reading All the Birds in the Sky right now. It's incredible and I don't want it to end, I only have 2 chapters left though! Thank you for this delicious book, I've eaten it up in a week and the characters have free rent in my brain now.
Love it! Never heard of samurai clothes, so I went online just to look, just to see what, then ...welp, order placed!!
Just donated and downloaded!!
if you like my little jokes you might also like my short fiction! My short story “Eighteen Hundred Dollars” is out in the latest issue of Eavesdrop Magazine.
@eavesdropmagazine.bsky.social
Sold!
Leave out the BA... just Juls Budau, MSW
I see fruit and eggs! A healthy start to any day!!
The fires are so extensive across Manitoba, Saskatchewan & Ontario currently that there are not enough air crafts to rescue remote Native Canadians.
I am sending an SOS to every nation to help save the lives of people who are going to burn alive. Literally.
Canada needs evacuation assistance.
I dream of a day when bike parts, ebike parts, and wheelchair parts are all part of the same supply chain. There will always be some specialty parts, but even a 70% overlap would help.
@mark-carney.bsky.social why aren't you making newsworthy announcements on @bsky.app instead of the other app that is owned and operated by the same people trying to tear Canada down? So many politicians have stood up and deleted the other app - when will you?!
That sucks dude, no excuse driving while not being able to focus. Hope you're ok.

On my last night as MP, I thank Jack Layton for inspiring me to run for public office.
Jack made me believe it was possible to do politics with integrity. He loved our country and he loved people.
He said politics was about getting your hands dirty and taking chances to make life better for people
