It is! I have a little collection of them :-)

Our world is in dangerous place. Shouting louder and being angrier won’t help. Time to slow down and think. Time to reflect and consider. Time to use some tools to force us to think deeper and slower. Time to cut out the noise and the outrage.

Interested to see where this goes. But also wondering how this can tackle the main problem with social media. That it results in increased polarization, with increasingly alarming results. Is any kind of social media the right tool to bring people together for meaningful dialogue?

@joannadurrant.bsky.social thank you so much for doing this. Yvonne is my nana and is an amazing person. Thank you for capturing her memories. I interviewed her a couple of years ago and got this: youtu.be/kkZpMZ3chQA?...

And also that it’ll be wrong.

People can forget one of the key reasons we strive to create more walkable cities is #mentalhealth. It’s a huge and growing issue and creating streets and public spaces where people can walk, meet & gather is massively important.

That’s dramatic.

That exposure is balanced really well.

Love it.

Wow!

Amazing skies.

Lovely framing.

#gastown in #vancouver is ready for summer! With more public space and a new bike lane. Also great to go there with a photographers eye and just observe for a few minutes.
