Well well @viarailcanada.bsky.social still have yet to be on time. late 30 at least every time 😞 trips 2+x per week

Reddit post on Climber Girls sub: —- I've never posted here but I'm a lady climber and climbing is/was my life. Endless trips, endless training. My friends. Impacted the jobs I took... My whole world. My whole world. I was chipping away, trying to get to V12. Going through a rough life patch because I had to move away from a city I liked for a job. But climbing my hardest yet. I got COVID for a third time in 2025 (I'm vaxed and boosted and took paxlovid)..... Boom long COVID. Can't climb due to PEM. I haven't climbed in almost a year. I even learned I was having some remnants of long COVID from prior infections (things like hives, or some sleep stuff, and deficiencies which I learned COVID can cause). But this last one really did it. I'm not as severe as other people but I'll crash for a week if I go to the gym. It is.... Really sad. I'm not used to it and don't know when I'll be used to it. I don't know if it goes away.

On #LongCovidAwarenessDay — I think the most important thing to understand is that it’s still happening:

“I got COVID for a 3rd time in 2025 (I'm vaxed, boosted & took paxlovid)... Boom #LongCovid. Can't climb due to PEM. I haven't climbed in almost a year.”

“COVID… is still causing disability.“

Truth spoken here. @citizenslobbyca.bsky.social

Oh shoot, I hadn't even gotten to the part of this *same bill* that would ban cities from "reducing the number of motor vehicle lanes when installing new bicycle lanes." bsky.app/profile/camb...

Left column: Under the RTA, all tenants have "security of tenure", which means that tenants have a right to remain in their rental unit as long as they follow the lease agreement and the RTA. Landlords cannot evict tenants without a legally valid reason, and after a fixed-term lease ends, the tenancy typically continues on a month-to-month basis. Right column: The government would consult on alternative options on lease agreement expiry that could allow landlords to control who occupies their units and for how long, allowing them to adjust tenancy arrangements based on market conditions, personal needs, or business strategies. This could add flexibility for some landlords in the approach to leases, potentially unlocking additional rental unit stock.

In particular, they want leases to no longer necessarily remain in effect indefinitely, so that landlords have more options for creating tenant turnover.

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Trump's DOJ just dropped a major antitrust case against American Express Travel.

This comes after Amex hired lobbying firm Ballard Partners — the former employers of Pam Bondi — to lobby the DOJ on "antitrust issues."

Funny how that works.

Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer A chorus of critics insist that building on undeveloped land is the only way out of the US housing crisis. But the environmental costs of unrestrained growth are overwhelming.

Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer: "Instead of promoting sprawl, increasing housing density in existing urban areas through infill development and upzoning can help address the housing shortage while minimizing environmental impacts." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is why relying on charity to fund essential services is a truly wild policy choice.

"An NHS hospital that upgraded the type of face masks used by staff on Covid-19 wards recorded a dramatic fall of up to 100% in hospital-acquired coronavirus infections among those workers, research shows"

The murder of Jonathan Joss was a multiply hateful hate crime that included the murder of his dogs and attempted murder of his partner. His neighbor made it clear over a campaign of hatred for years that it wasn’t okay to be queer and/or indigenous in that neighborhood

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)

Can we start prosecuting all the white collar crime, tax evasion & close tax loopholes for ultra wealthy first.

Kids start learning about it in grd 5 now. I’m pretty some of my peers never took civics in high school and likely the same for anyone older

Any person that wonders about

Healthcare shortages
Affordable housing
High Utilities
High Insurance costs
Education shortages
Etc.

Are all under Provincial responsibility

Facts matter

There’s still time to voice opposition to New York’s mask ban.

Criminalizing a medical device will be devastating to disabled and marginalized individuals (not to mention anyone who values their health & wants to avoid covid infection).

Mask bans don’t stop crime. They put lives in danger.
