Good!

Picture of an Animal Crossing living room. It’s maximalist with lots of little knickknacks on the surfaces and has a cherry wood and brick theme

Same house but the view is changed to show the kitchen. There’s a cozy blue rug on the floor with an intricate pattern, and lots of baked goods

@davidebybc.bsky.social & the BC NDP’s refusal to adopt the progressive policies their party is theoretically supposed to stand for is risking pushing BC into the arms of far right Conservatives

Hell yeah brother

obvious pitfalls aside, the devs who built this demo are vastly overestimating how much players like to read even immediately relevant dialogue. narrative designers minimize text to just the necessary parts so that the players don’t just skip all of the story.

Also I got a boulder badge and a huge stack of promotional holographic Mews because they’d accidentally sent too many to that location and they let us grab them by the fistful

Very eventful day for a small town all told

This is true but also when I was like 8 they held a Pokemon card league outside the Toys’R’Us and one time 2 older boys got into a fight because one was cheating and the other punched him so hard in the mouth that some blood flew into a nearby kid’s ice cream and that was honestly pretty exciting

In the 2000s when being a teen was all about being a mallrat, we had two malls in Victoria: “The Good One” and “Over-the-Hillside”

Wait— is Bluesky literally just becoming tumblr

Social media equivalent of first baby tooth 🥹

Bluesky is in its shrimp colours era I see

All it took to get Liberal voters to approve of Harper policies was to get a polite guy to say them

Mark Carney could be doing anything right now. Canadians want so badly to trust him and to have someone reasonable in charge.
What is he doing with all that power and trust? Cutting taxes, cutting services, and putting out statements supporting a war that started with bombing a school.
Empty suit.

Watching a very skinny young crow try to learn how to crack open mussels from a fat older crow

The young one will only fly about half a foot up before dropping it and can’t figure out why it won’t open lmao

Achewood comic where a character is wearing electronic shoes that say “Here comes a special boy!” with every step

Can’t wait for the morons who said “government staffing ballooned under Trudeau for no reason and Carney is just cutting it back down to size” to learn absolutely nothing from this

How Emily Lowan is Winning Over Voters by Fighting the Oligarchs YouTube video by Rachel Gilmore

I’m getting involved with the NDP because I think it still has valuable infrastructure worth reclaiming, but @emilylowan.bsky.social is doing good work. If it turns out Greens start gaining traction before we fix the BC NDP I will switch in a heartbeat to consolidate numbers

yay glad to know it’s a popular opinion

I ranked @avilewis.ca first and @votetanille.bsky.social second. I think they would both be great leaders

@heathermcpherson.bsky.social lost my vote by attacking Avi on his plan to switch to renewables as quickly as possible. Did not even rank her

SUCCESS: Your vote has been recorded. Your receipt will be available at the end of the round.

#NDP leadership election is now open! Go vote— we’ve gotta save this party and by extension the country.

I just did mine 🧡

Happy International Women's Day 💖

It’s funny, I actually liked the Silent Hill 1 movie for what it was at the time— but the Silent Hill 2 movie has the same director and it was so bad, it made me go back and discover he’d gender swapped 1 because “searching for your child and being scared isn’t manly” 😂😭 RIP

im sorry

So far you have William Azaroff and Pete Fry available as progressive mayoral candidates, and while I have criticisms of both, they each have a long track record of real progressive political action, unlike Allam who has repeatedly, tangibly pushed us to the right

Do not get duped by Kareem Allam! He is a conservative wolf in progressive sheep’s clothing and is responsible for unleashing Sim on #Vancouver

Allam was largely credited with masterminding ABC’s sweeping victory in 2022, when the upstart party won majorities in council, park board, and school board. He served as Sim’s chief of staff for 89 days until he was removed from the position in February 2023.

He also ran Erin O’Toole’s federal Conservative leadership campaign, and currently serves as a consultant for government, First Nations, and other entities.

You seem like a person who cares and has genuinely good politics so please don’t get duped by this guy 🙏

He has done so much damage and is only “progressive” now because the wind have changed

It’s sad too because 10 years into a career is when you *should* be coming into your own and getting freedom via seniority, but you realize all that time you spent proving yourself was not actually get banked- it was just rolling off a duck’s back & you still have the political capital of an intern
