It’s awful. Everything people own, lives lost
But when you tell people to leave the #dtes, and they have no place to go, what magic are we expecting people to do?
We hired more police though, that is the magic to solve #Vancouver’s housing shortage and high rents
Olive right around the corner and raised my kids here, and the streets have never been this bad, and the rents have never been higher

Big allergy morning 🤧
#Vancouver #dtes #gastown
Anybody in #NewWest / #Vancouver suffering with seasonal allergies right now?
I was stuck down by something yesterday - coughing, sneezing, bunged up, hot, cold, achy - despite not leaving the house in preceding 48hrs.
I've never had allergies this time of the year but can't see how I could be actually sick. COVID test is negative and haven't been close to anyone besides @HelenJ

Beautiful weather again today in Vancouver, I picked some good days to be a tourist. Glad I brought some gloves though. #Vancouver #PyCascades
Spent today riding the False Creek Ferry. Stopped at Granville Island Public Market, then the Maritime Museum. Walked through Chinatown on the way back and got some dumplings. Now a little rest before the social tonight. #Vancouver #PyCascades
Walked 6.3 miles along the Vancouver seawall and through Stanley Park. Beautiful day out #Vancouver #PyCascades

May I suggest you connect with @furiousgreencloud about the global 24 hr #WetlandProject radio broadcast from a bog in British Columbia, Canada? 🐸
Many #CommunityRadio stations are sharing parts of it for #EarthDay on April 22nd or like #Vancouver ’s #CoopRadio, dedicating the whole broadcast day to the sounds of frogs and birds 🦆
🌱 It’s rather miraculous
You can also listen anytime, synced to your time zone ☀️

Just landed in Vancouver for PyCascades! I gave myself 2 days to be a tourist, any recommendations? #PyCascades #Vancouver

Um.. someone in Vancouver, BC unlocked and drove a Tesla that did not belong to them - it just happened to be parked beside his and looked exactly the same, but the Tesla app allowed him to unlock and run the vehicle
He was able to drive the vehicle for an hour & a half before meeting up with actual owner to return the car

Did my first post-winter walk-around assessment of our community garden on the hospital rooftop. Lots to do, but doable. The shed looks good, after I restocked it last year on a city grant. I'm going to start organizing volunteers for a spring work party.
We founded the Downtown Intercultural Gardeners Society in 2011, and it has thrived all these years, but the pandemic has been our biggest challenge. Let's give it another go this year. #CommunityGarden #UrbanGarden #DIGS #Vancouver

I don’t know anything about #quilting shops 🪡 and I’m not even a sewer 😅 but everybody in my family who visits #Vancouver goes wild over #Dressew 🧵 which is pretty fabulous even for someone who doesn’t sew
They have a website that does not convey what is inside. But look at their other social media that has fun photos

I am looking for recommendations for quilt shops in Vancouver, BC. Does anyone have a favorite? I will be traveling there this summer. #quilting #vancouver

Just before the lockdowns in 2020 I was walking through #Strathcona, a section of #Vancouver BC Canada (Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh) and they were digging up a patch of land in preparation for a gut-reno on one of the historic buildings there. These bottles were in the muck that had gone into the dumpster.

Darren Barefoot died of cancer this past Monday, Feb 20th. His company, Capulet Communications, which he ran with his wife Julie, has posted a public memorial https://capulet.com/2023/02/23/in-memorial-darren-barefoot/
Many in #Vancouver across the open web, marketing, and climate action will have known Darren for many years.
I wish we still had him with us as the world gets weirder and more complicated across people, tech, communications and more.
I will miss you, Darren.

It was a wee cold, wet and cloudy in #Vancouver BC this weekend, but we still had fun.
Vancouver BC trip. ✅
We had so much fun experiencing the city:
- Met with #Twitch friends. First time in person!
- Ate a lot of yummy food. Highlights being the eggs benedict and xiao long bao.
- Went to an improv show
- Walks through Stanley Park.
- Sauna!!
- Lazy coffee mornings while husband was out for his morning jog.
We love #Canada and are looking forward to our next trip. Maybe a return to Victoria?
How has everyone on Mastodon been doing? Happy weekend!

The conference memorabilia we’re going to have, especially the custom made jackets from Oona Clothing here in #Vancouver, is going to be stellar.
Yes there is a virtual option to attend. Anyone want to gather a crew and do a “watch party” in a major center?
And yes, there is student pricing — ping me and I can get you the link.
And yes, I’ve got sponsor spots left for you ;)
