Quick reminder if you’re in Halifax we’re a university city with a most excellent selection of independent shops. Le French Fix, Glitterbean, @tridenthalifax.bsky.social , Uncommon Ground, the Daily Grind. At that’s in the downtown alone. Dilly Day & West End off Quinpool…
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.
Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.
Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

Looking for a Math tutor in Halifax! We need support for grade 12 IB Math, specifically w/ the Math IA. An undergraduate student who survived the IB program would be ideal! Gig would probably be a few hours a week for a few months.

We're delighted to host @tricon-hfx.bsky.social's three guests of honour! 👇
We all know publishing is much more than putting words on a page! A book is created by a team of skilled people beyond the author, and to excel in this industry is to include them all in our celebration!
In that spirit, TriCon welcomes three Guests of Honour—an editor, an agent, & a writer. 🎉📖🧵

We think the third image is a previous owner name, but it is confidently inscribed on the dedication page! Anyone wanna take a stab at the name?
