I hate going on walks until I do and then I love going on walks
A starfish on a wet brick. Next to the fingers holding the brick, the starfish is small (the length of one finger joint). Layered graffiti, words in marker over colourful stretches of blue and pink. Most of the text is a poem which reads “I am a snake, a very hungry snake I am a snake, I like trees I am a snake, I like holes I am a snake, I like people I am a snake, I wont bit I am a snake, I wont fight I am a snake, I like people” A white car with crushed bonnet and covered in red marker notes.

A distant raft of ducks. In the foreground are big rocks. In the background a boat. A street sign reading “Skokomul.” The photo is underexposed, making the sky deep blue. A person’s legs and feet on a frozen puddle.

All quiet at Dartmouth Cove today
A sign in some long grass reads “save Dartmouth Cove!” Behind it a truck driving away Three ducks in the water at Dartmouth Cove, a ship is in the background. A sign on a fence reads “no motorized vehicles.” Behind it a cyclist passing through the trail that runs along Dartmouth Cove. A locked chainlink fence gate. Through the gap you can see train tracks, then grass, then the ocean.

A graph and a table showing collision data from the HRM. Collisions increased from 2018 to 2019, dropped in the pandemic year of 2020 and went up to almost 2019 levels in 2024.

Cars in traffic lined up in an intersection, blocking a car on the intersecting road

Genuine question from a non-driver here: are cars allowed to be in an intersection like this? I always see traffic lined up like this here

Road space allocated in a way I didn’t know was possible tbh. That wide strip next to the sidewalk is the bike lane. And then there’s more sidewalk separating it from the road. To also make it easy to get on the bus. Cool cool cooooool. When is it our turn to be happy?
A streer with more space for pedestrians and cyclists than for cars.

EV chargers in a neighborhood where I almost got hit by a bike several times and weaved around children playing ball in the road (both good things)

This part of Mishima’s Confession’s of a Mask is actually about cities pouring money into car-centric infrastructure
“This great factory operated upon a mysterious system of production costs: taking no account of the economic dictum that capital investment should producee a return, it was dedicated a to a monstrous nothingness. No wonder then that each morning the workers had to recite mystic oaths. I have never seen such a strange factory. In it all the techniques of modern science and management, together with the exact and rational thinking of many superior brains, were dedicated to a single end - Death. Producint the Zero-Model combat plane used by the suicide squadrons, this great factor resembled a secret cult that operated thunderously - groaning, shrieking, roaring. I did not see how such a colossal organization could exit without some religious grandiloquence.”

The gears of your city don’t stop between votes and protests. Get acquainted with the system you have, even if you wish it was different. Come dip your toe into council on July 8!

So long toll booths.
A jogger crosses the street behind a row of orange traffic cones. Excavators, trucks, and construction workers are behind them on a stretch of empty asphalt. Excavators, trucks, and construction workers on a stretch of empty asphalt. There are shallow, broad gaps in the road.

On the Dartmouth side of Macdonald Bridge today. Does this mean bridge maintenance is getting handed over to Public Works?
