Books (most genres), music, and a lot of, mostly Canadian and Ottawa, politics thrown in. PWHL (Go Charge!).

Trans beloveds: maybe take a break from the internet today. Absolute ghouls are exploiting a horrendous tragedy to spread hate and transphobia.

Love and grief to everyone in Tumbler Ridge today.

Love and solidarity with the trans community.

News from Tumbler Ridge and, this morning, from Kitigan Zibi, is horrifying. Our city's relationship with Kitigan Zibi is a close one. Gun violence involving children has resulted in overwhelming tragedy in the past 24 hours. There's immediate help available for those who want to talk (1/2).

From the ottawa community on Reddit: Train Evacuation Posted by WA472P - 136 votes and 43 comments

There's no longer any question: it's time to compensate transit riders for what they're going through. These pictures are heartbreaking - people going to evening shifts, home and family, class.

Nat and I are on our way to see our @pwhlcharge.bsky.social take on the Frost! Another OTW, maybe?!

Is your councillor a chronic no-voter on city budgets? | Opinion Tim Tierney: Ottawa has traded safety and security for policing alternatives – experiments that have repeatedly failed. | Opinion

Some say that voting against a budget makes you part of the problem. I disagree. Healthy disagreement is part of responsible decision making. Residents expect us to test assumptions, debate ideas and make sure the budget reflects the realities they live with every single day.

Across Ottawa, from fairs and markets to townhalls and meetings, I’ve been hearing the same thing: people are frustrated and want a new direction for our city. We need a city that works, with reliable transit, strong services, repaired roads and community centres.

Been one hell of a great season @pwhlcharge.bsky.social ! You should be proud.

Me, well, it turns out I might like hockey when women are playing.

See you next season.

I saw that in your thread. Poor choice to interview her. Alas…

Moral victory perhaps.

The City of Ottawa would be something worse than incompetent if they shrink the Lansdowne arena.

The Ottawa Charge need a bigger space, not a smaller one. The team is a force. It’s a community.

Keep the game accessible, Ottawa. Don’t blow Lansdowne, again.

For a team called Victoire, it was particularly delicious to defeat them.

Well would you look at that! The Charge is going to the finals.
Well deserved. (Also we need to give Philips a raise.)

Une dernière défaite pour La Victoire. They chose this.

Bring on the Frost.

A bicycle basket with a reasonable amount of books.

In my defense, I was bored and left unattended.

I blame @jleiper.bsky.social

Sort of. Some people buy shoes, I buy books.

@thespanielstale.bsky.social needs to stop buying cool stuff. Or whatever the opposite of that is.

Did you know, that you can be PM without a seat in Parliament, but you can’t be Leader of the Opposition?
