This is my bike. I cannot keep it inside of my van because there is no room. I cannot keep it on the roof because there are solar panels. I remove snow after every 2-3 hours and then snow covers it again. Thinking positively, I can view it as some form of art.

🤦🏼 OMGoodness! Tweeting about physical accessibility, with a photo, yet neglecting to add alt text to the photo in order to help those with visual accessibility issues. I'm taking the L on this one. #CalledOutByABot

Hi Michele (hopeless DCI V...! It looks like you're interested in accessibility. If you add alt text to your images, they'll be accessible to blind, partially sighted and neurodivergent people who use screen reader software. How to add alt text & FAQs: twitter.com/GAADBot/status

Ten years ago tonight, a M7.8 earthquake off #HaidaGwaii generated the world's largest #tsunami of 2012. Runup to 13m in some inlets left seaweed in trees and fish in the forest. If you are near water, and feel long and strong shaking, move to high ground. geoscan.nrcan.gc.ca/starweb/geosca

Wow great showing today in solidarity for the child struck yesterday in this very crosswalk. The community has suffered enough at the hands of car centric streets and reckless (unenforced) drivers. Raised crosswalks, lower speed limits, and reduced space for cars✊ #visionzero

Amazing what rainwater, sand, and wind can make: natural #StreetArt. Much admiration for Mother Nature's artwork. #patterns #Saanich

We need this drug covered by our provincial health plans now. This drug can slow down the symptoms of ALS and extend lives but the cost for most is prohibitive. Equitable access is needed. Can you help save the lives of our friends and family?

Quote Tweet

#ALBRIOZA was approved in June, yet ppl living w/ ALS are still waiting for decisions on whether the drug will be covered by public reimbursement. Take action today – tell your provincial gov’t #TheTimeisNow to reimburse ALBRIOZA without delay: bit.ly/3TzPQpA.

For those interested, the pasta all'assassina was on S2 E7 of #SearchingforItaly #Bari #Puglia. Brief write-up below, and this link will take you to the video: cnn.com/travel/article Please note, my version was not as extreme as Chef Celso! 🤣🥵

Watching Stanley Tucci's #SearchingForItaly last night, it inspired me to try to make assassina pasta from #Bari. I didn't have spag in my #PandemicPantry, so fettuccine had to stand in. My first-ever attempt at #Assassina:

Random guy walking to his white Mazda car in a #Saanich parkinglot, loudly saying he's going to punch a woman's head in, because "she should shut up" (whole lot of words redacted🤬). His friend just smiled. Bold move, discussing your violent assault plans in public. #loser #DV
