Vancouver’s urban tree canopy, and the “kissing canopies” over the streets the mature trees create, are one of our city’s most important assets. Cooling, cleaning, beautifying and strengthening the city while integrating urban life with nature for livability. Great pics via @traffictrish.bsky.social
Striking network of big, mature street trees The canopy connects with new development that will have a huge urban green park on the roof.

Cruelty is the feature, not the bug.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
