Big day for density and housing here in St. John’s. We approved the development of a new ten storey apartment building at 34 New Cove Rd, which is great news. It will be one of the tallest buildings in the city. I never thought we would get here but here we are!

my friend's mom has terminal cancer and they could really use some help with the bills, just boosting again. having cancer ain't cheap, which feels like an extra kick in the teeth on top of getting cancer to begin with

very fair

Commission your friends for art. Give them dollars (this makes them happy) in exchange for drawing you like (this makes you happy). This is symbiosis. This is a healthy ecosystem.

Support your friends. Support art. Support your friends' art.

complained about a bunch of stuff that no longer matters to my friend and now i'm experiencing post-complaint clarity

Great news, you’ve collected enough plastics in your body to start forming an exoskeleton. The universe will always bend toward crab.

One of life's unsolved mysteries is why the mun chem building always smells like curly fries

A parking lot showing a cybertruck in one spot, next to a car that has built a cybertruck-esque shell around it out of green plastic. It's really hard to describe exactly how silly this vehicle looks next to the green car.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

you need to go to a house party and meet a hot friend-of-friend and then politely ask them to make out. trust me on this

With at least 12 downtown St. John's businesses closing, these experts weigh in on the causes and solutions | CBC News At least a dozen businesses — half of them on Water Street — have closed or announced they soon will within the last six months. Industry experts are calling for swift action to revive the area.

Gee i wonder why

Such a mystery why landlords don't maintain buildings, are jacking up rent, supply costs have skyrocketed & no one here has disposable income because we're all also being gouged by ontario landlords, paying more for groceries, & noone is getting paid more www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

i was literally doing this yesterday at the same time

Dear Students, Staff, and Colleagues, I’m writing today, on behalf of the Department of Political Science, to express our solidarity with Two-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (2SLGBTQIA+) students, staff and faculty at Memorial. 2SLGBTQIA+ people are facing increasing threats to their rights, livelihood and lives, here in North America and around the world. We are prompted, in particular, by the introduction of laws and increase in rhetoric in the United States that seek to criminalize and marginalize trans and non-binary people and their families. Abhorrent wherever they occur, we know these events will hit especially close to home, particularly for those in our midst who are American or have family or other personal connections in the U.S.

Memorial’s core values include a commitment to inclusiveness and diversity in everything we do, and, in the Department of Political Science, we recognize the recent assaults on the rights and well-being of trans and non-binary people as assaults on these core values. We respond to these assaults by affirming that our department – in the classroom and in all its spaces – is a place where everyone is welcome and deserving of respect.

I am grateful that the Department of Political Science has declared our solidarity with
2SLGBTQIA+ folks
at @memorialu.bsky.social this week.

Now more than ever

another all-timer from my mom

Donald Trump stating that they need to "clean out" Gaza is a perfect example of how many national leaders view Palestinians as less than human.
THESE PEOPLE ARE HUMAN. They are indigenous to Palestine, and have connections to the land. We need to protect their right to Palestine.
