I've been thinking about Joey's Video Stop in New Westminster. I worked there for over a year. Here's a Christmas ghost story I wrote the year it closed. My way of saying goodbye to the shop. I loved it there. (note the broadcast date is probably wrong) soundcloud.com/jj-lee-5/the...
Note: start time is 7:30 PM!
7:30 not 7:00 PM, Friday, Dec. 19. It'd be great to see you #newwest #newwestminster

Hopefully it will pickup.
Think so. smoke smells really chemically uptown. Once sure if the #newwest hashtag would work on bluesky. Thanks.
#newwest strong smokey smell uptown..anyone else. Out of nowhere.
#newwest, hope you're feeling better this morning. not perfect but better.
I heard so many people talking like who gets to be PM was actually on the ballot. Appalling. 9 Ndp seats would have locked in a progressive parliament.
#newwest Voting liberal basically endangers a liberal minority. @mpjulian.bsky.social was our guy. All you had to do was stay steady.
#newwest wtf

ok. have left the breadcrumbs from facebook and instagram to here.
Admittedly I feel I have certain amount of social media energy I need to vent. But as long as I have a space, I think I might be okay
And I think I can break the habit. Have the most followers on Twitter bitd and I no longer feel the need to be on it. So it's possible.
