Exceptional Women of East Village 2026 | East Village Calgary In honour of International Women’s Day, we are showcasing four exceptional women who are helping shape East Village in ways both visible and quietly powerful. They are advocates, artists, connectors, ...

My neighbourhood thinks I'm pretty neat.

I'm grateful for this recognition on #IWD2026. As a trans person, every instance of affirmation, being seen and accepted by the communities in which I'm engaged, matters deeply.

Have the police considered the stupid fucking height of the vehicle in question

Canadians are β€˜hitting a breaking point’ when it comes to the cost of insuring their vehicles Some are forgoing buying a second car, driving their cars longer, or choosing to drive less expensive ones to insure

Instead of buying a second or third car -> buy a top quality electric bike or electric cargo bike.
You'll save so much money and have fun doing it.
You might even start to see how stupidly designed our cities are.

I finally got around to emailing council to remind them that car ownership costs average people over $700,000 over their working life.

#bikehfx and transit are huge affordability measures

"When I look back [...], I hope I can say[...]: I understood the problem, & I embodied the change I wanted to see. I stayed. I helped. I did something positive with the time I was given."

This is the essence of one of my "ins" this year: leaning into showing up to create the village that I want.

Community is so underrated in general IMO. People are out here wondering why they feel lonely, why they feel parenting young children is hard, etc etc. It's lack of community. @kmadmclean.bsky.social & I talk about this at least once a week.

I’d change the order, and would add cost savings

Sadly, the people that really should read this (major bike brand leadership) and take some time to understand it, likely won't.

And they'll wonder at their next board meeting why sales haven't really improved in the last 20 years. #bikeshoplike

Approaching my 18th month off work and mostly doing soul-feeding things, prioritizing sleep and health, don’t have kids or pets to worry about, and I’m still finding it hard to prioritize most connections and relationships - you’re not alone in being alone!

Also, the potholes and construction requiring a wait through two light cycles for one intersection. (Cross East-west, south-north, back West-east)
I’m dealing with a wrist injury and have been avoiding this route for a few months due to the constant bumps compared to 11th st or 12th to EV

You can bike through water, MATTHEW. It’s not their fault!

Last week I mentioned to an out of town friend that I was heading out solo for errands and couldn’t decide if biking or walking was better - he asked if I carry pepper spray and I had to explain that I was concerned about drivers and the very real threat of being hit, not a potential random attack.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.
