Had a blast at the Halloween Bike Party & Critical Mass ride tonight! All the passerby seem to have thought our music & costumes were fun. It was lovely to see so many people have a touch of joy brought to their evening. Thanks as always to the organizers & ride marshals! #BikeHFX #CriticalMassHFX

Brilliant satire on at Neptune Theatre for only a few more days! Make sure to catch a ticket if you can, my face hurt from laughing so much. Bear Grease is an incredible piece of indigenous art!

Latest update on Dal's craziness in the lockout - now I can't even access Brightspace pages that profs had set us up access to so we could at least keep up on readings during the strike. I'm sure this won't worsen timelines on getting through all our course materials at all 🙃

Had a lovely time with #CriticalMassHFX tonight! I got the chance to try out an ebike thanks to @justip.bsky.social & really enjoyed cycling across town
with such a welcoming crew of folks (most entertaining part was the tourists delighted by the sight of us during their Harbour Hopper ride)

Can't get more ironic then reading this piece while sitting on a bus during supper rush gridlock on Robie

Many thanks to everyone for a lovely experience with my first ever bike ride in Halifax as part of #Kidicalmass this morning! It is very evident that our local cycling community is full of kindness and care. I felt very safe and looked after as a new duckling of the flock!

"HRM's AAA Bike Network is business as usual" so that's just a straight up lie...

Hey #BikeHfx, tidbit of good news for today; looks like the flex posts on Bell rd are being reinstalled! Walked past the road closed & workers drilling in the road on route home from a book event

My own email to council as an example template for folks working on theirs about the bike lane debacle #bikehfx

Spotted a @halifaxexaminer.ca poster on the #4 tonight! Unfortunately looks like it isn't properly secured... but cool to see one in the wild nonetheless

My speech at the #Bikehfx rally at Grand Parade this morning! Many thanks to @seebo429.bsky.social for organizing the event & to everyone who showed up today to fight for the betterment of our city (1/2 with Bluesky's video limits)

Thank you Elisabeth! I really enjoyed the ride back up town in the front of your bike

My email to my councillor supporting #Bikehfx as a non-cyclist, as potential useful inspiration for others. I desperately hope this proposition does not pass & I get to see a version of Halifax that I feel safe biking within

Made a post-work run to Atlantic News for a paper copy of @landofsticks.bsky.social's new paper! #halisky

I got curious if @printrunpodcast.bsky.social had merch... and now someone needs to convince me that I don't need another tote bag in my collection

Mother Mother and Cavetown put on an amazing show last night in Halifax!

An example of Halifax's finest snow clearing efforts on a Priority 1 section of Windsor Street, intersecting with Liverpool Street, spotted on my way to yoga this evening (I already called 311). I'm lucky to have been able to skirt across the curb cut without a car hitting me #Halisky #hfx #halifax

I've followed CJ on Tiktok & Insta for years and she gives a lot of helpful tips & tricks on what to watch out for with car purchases! She'll even negotiate with a dealership on your behalf to avoid their bullshit fake fees & add-ons.
