My kid is in a local theatre group that exclusively does G&S productions. First year was The Gondoliers, then The McAdo (the Mikado with a cultural reset in Scotland) and this year they are doing Patience. The kids are so hilarious and over the top and it’s perfect.

The Remarkable Life Deck, designed by the iconic Debbie Millman, has been unboxed and the vibrant journal, manual and card deck are sitting on a table with a yellow patterned tablecloth and lit candles.

Captured this magical moment under the full moon last night 🌕

I have coveted The Remarkable Life Deck by the iconic @debbiemillman.bsky.social for ages and diving into it at this moment has been a beautiful experience. I actively sense myself shedding despair and manifesting hope.

Thank you DM ✨

Safety in Sport Act was allegedly about protecting girls from transgender girls in contact sports and so that girls could prosper in elite (or elite pathway) sports. None of that applies in this case. The purpose is hate against transgender people.

A sunny summer backyard garden with a wooden raised bed full of green veggies in the foreground. A second box with a trellis of climbing peas and a perennial garden of greens, pinks, and purples span the corner. A glimpse of a child’s playhouse cedar wall with a white antique paned glass window is in the background.

The days are getting increasingly short, there’s a bitterness in the air and I’m already longing for next summer’s garden.

Congratulations! ❤️

"It’s not just about transgender people...They want to take over politics. They want to take over education. They want to reclaim the family—it’s white Christian patriarchal supremacy. So that’s bad for everyone, except for the few alpha males who get to be at the top of it." #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Our family loved the Frog & Toad series, Beverly Cleary series (Ramona etc.), The Peter Rabbit Collection, plus some of Roald Dahl (Fantastic Mr. Fox was a fave).

@katcalgary.bsky.social 👀

Thank you for sharing your perspective, Ann. Much appreciated!

Following the Ward 1 public trustee debate I’m even more confused about this endorsement. Ms Hart seems very inexperienced compared to others’ w/ education governance experience (eg. Regal). Tagging two knowledgeable Calgarians for your perspective, pls @hollyhoye.bsky.social @missgiven.bsky.social

This is so true, especially if you grew up in Calgary! I always say there’s one degree of separation here (not 6).

As a Ward 1 resident, I am curious about this endorsement as Ms Hart seems to have less experience in educational governance than at least two other seemingly progressive candidates (Regal and Doell). Can you please provide more context as to why Calgary’s Future has chosen Ms Hart over others?

You could check out the BUMP Murals around town (self guided or walking tour). Hit up shops and eateries in Inglewood, Bridgeland, 17th Ave. My faves include pints at the Ship & Anchor or Central Taps, burgers at Class Clown, cocktails at Proof or Prosperity + plant-forward eats at 10 Foot Henry!

Love a harvest day. 🌱

Is a Referendum a Good Way to Make a Decision? - Alberta Views A dialogue between Ted Morton and Jared Wesley

Do referendums generate respectful debate, genuine dialogue, and valid outcomes the way Danielle Smith suggests?

Seldom, if ever.

In my debate with Ted Morton, I showed how they’re often a politician’s tool of convenience—and often backfire. 🧵

"Calgary needs more trees—let's plant them!"

We agree! And we love being a part of a community that cares in this way. Thank you Calgary Climate Hub and Alberta Ecotrust Foundation for creating such a great resource!

We can't wait to see the change it brings.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Welcome to Calgary! Can’t wait for your set tonight. ✨

Despite the rain, my entire family is so stoked to see @thebandcake.bsky.social tonight at @calgaryfolkfest.bsky.social. A perfect choice to close out a magical festival weekend. Our dream set list includes Never There, Love You Madly, Sad Songs & Waltzes, and - a cover - War Pigs to honour Ozzy.🤘

Finally it’s #peony season here in zone 3! I found this stunner in our neighbourhood botanical gardens.

So true! Much needed and very appreciated. Your work always makes me smile. Thank you and congrats! Can’t wait to see one of the buses IRL.

These are great @calgaryhester.bsky.social! Love your fun and optimistic style. 🙌🏻

Cool find! I was at this show to see the opener - Spiritualized - and ended up a Radiohead fan.

An Open Letter to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Who Thinks My Daughter is a Tragedy Dear Mr. RFK Jr., (The “dear” is tradition. Don’t mistake it for affection.) You said autistic children are a burden. That they ruin families. That...

This is a really beautiful piece from @mcsweeneys.net about the inherent value of neurodivergent people. RFK Jr. is dead wrong in the way he demeans and diminishes people with autism.
