Laying in bed with my bestie on this rainy #Caturday morning, after picketing for the past two days, is just 😌

Took part in Toronto’s Labour Day Parade earlier today alongside many of my fellow #OPSEU members to #SaveOurColleges, as well as many other members from unions representing other professions and sectors

This was my first time participating in a #LabourDay parade, highly recommend

Solidarity ✊🏼

The world feels extremely chaotic so I’m thankful that the moon decided to grace the sky with its full visage tonight 😊

Is it just me or have the broadcast signals for the Women’s #EURO2025 by FOX Sports been dog 💩? Both TSN and CTV rely on the signals here in Canada

Is it just FOX being FOX?

Or the heatwaves/climate change?

Or the rising geopolitical tensions?

Or did Thanos come back and snap again?

So not only was Ed Rogers not content with giving Canadians some of the most expensive cellphone and cable plans in the world, he also just HAD to cheap out on paying Masai Ujiri what he’s worth and in the process ruin the Toronto Raptors as well

Masai built the team into champions, not you, Ed
All my homies hate Ed Rogers

My #compagnon Element camera sling just arrived all the way from 🇩🇪 !!! 😃

And yes, I got some optional red zipper loops just so at least some part of the sling will be red

Thank you, Sony Canada, for organizing today’s community event at my alma mater and giving photography enthusiasts like myself an opportunity to hear from established Canadian creatives like @geraldundone.bsky.social, Chris Brockhurst, Anthony Gugliotta, etc.

Shout out to Kofi Yeboah for moderating

Fun fact, #NBAsky:

The three remaining teams (Nuggets, Thunder and Timberwolves) in the Western Conference Playoffs are all from the Northwest Division, which means no matter what happens, a Northwest Division team will be playing in and possibly win the 2024-25 NBA Finals
2024-25 NBA regular season standings for the Northwest Division of the Western Conference: OKC Thunder (68-14), Denver Nuggets (50-32), Minnesota Timberwolves (49-33), Portland Trailblazers (36-46), Utah Jazz (17-65)

Tested out my new #A7CR this morning while on a mental health walk, I’m really liking the image quality from this 61MP sensor so far, #photographysky 👌🏼

Here are a few SOOC images of tulips and magnolias for your #bloomscrolling pleasure, all with the highly underrated Sony 85mm F1.8 lens:

Power outage is a perfectly valid reason to have Oreos and milk for dinner, including right after your workout

I won’t take any counter arguments

Thank you

I’m not saying #HeatCulture doesn’t exist, I’m just saying that whether NBA gets a new record for largest margin of victory in a single playoff game will be largely dependent on how the Cavs decide to go about the rest of this Game 4:
Screenshot of the box score for the first quarter of Game 4 of the first round of the 2024-25 NBA Playoffs between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat, showing the Cavaliers with 30 points and the Heat with 8 points, with 3 minutes and 17 seconds left in the quarter

Had to look it up, I guess it’s safe to say that in your case:
Photo of a man dressed in a dark blazer and white shirt sitting on a couch, with the caption: “I don’t always use the word “Celsius”, but when I do, it’s not about the temperature outside of me, but about the energy drink inside of me” The combination of the photo and the caption creates a meme poking fun at the U.S. reliance on using Fahrenheit to measure temperature, as opposed to Celsius, which is used by nearly every other country on earth

I really hope that @nba.com starts to post on here now that it has the blue check
