All purchases on #Bandcamp today go directly to the artist. Will make some purchases later today and share a few selections on this thread.
TransLink updates for the FIFA World Cup in #Vancouver
- Only one pedestrian entrance to BC Place along the “Last Mile” walkway from Main Street-Science World Slytrain station
- Weekend West Coast Express
- Cute soccer buses… ⚽️🚌
Who’s giving the mayor the advice to keep this very damaging (for him) issue on the front burner for another day?
Was it his initiative?
Vancouver politics is weird but this is terrible strategically, especially considering he took only a handful of questions

Not the same guy, you brick-brained clown. The one who came to power in 1979 died 10 years later in ‘89.
Rebecca (right) and I (left) stand on the banks of a frozen Yukon River at the S.S. Klondike Historic Site in Whitehouse, Yukon. The flat, snow behind us is the frozen river with the sides of the river valley behind and a mountain further off in the distance. The sky is mostly blue and clear.
Last week, we traveled to Whitehorse, Yukon to celebrate our 20th anniversary of getting married, and it was amazing. We chased the aurora, explored the town, and enjoyed the brutal beauty of subarctic Canada.
I can’t imagine life without @miss604.com & am grateful for the one we’ve lived so far ❤️
It’s not the tariffs. It’s this rhetoric about our sovereignty that makes Canadians, like me, never want to step foot in the United States, where I was born. It’s egregious and embarrassing.
These people just find a way to ruin everything.
HOCKEY and CANADA (if you look closely you can see my tears)
But love how Trudeau lives rent free in their heads.
I’ve found my spot in Whitehorse, YT
Such an amazing experience.
Found a seat to just stare at the amazing dome of stars when the aurora just came alive. Found a steady system of running back to the fire pit or cabin to warm up and go back out to see more. Gorgeous!
Women's Big Air 🤯
#olympics #MilanoCortina2026
This was so unsafe and ignorant of anyone else using Rawlings Trail. Several dozen groups of riders seemingly doing a circuit to Bridal and back up North Creek. One rider came around a blind corner and just missed us, shy of crashing into the bush.
It’s a park trail. Not a cyclocross course
Ratboys! 🤘
The Life and Times - Suburban Hymns
thelifeandtimes.bandcamp.com/album/suburb...
Recently discovered their catalog on #bandcamp but a long time fan. Band that formed from fallout of another favorite of mine, Shiner. Do love me some disharmonic space rock.

Sébastien Tellier - Kiss The Beast
sebastientellier.bandcamp.com/album/kiss-t...
Discovered him from the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games opening ceremony. French synth-pop? Yes, please!
#bandcampfriday #bandcamp
Jets Overhead - Ordinary Dreamers
jetsoverhead.bandcamp.com/track/ordina...
A recently released single from probably my favorite indie rock band to ever come out of Victoria, B.C. Putting out unreleased tracks from the vault while teasing new music on the horizon.

CATBEAR - For Now, For Ever
catbear.bandcamp.com/album/for-no...
If you like synth-pop, then check this out. The name alone caught my attention, but their contributions to the genre is top notch. #bandcampfriday #bandcamp
And now some of my purchases today...
Ratboys - Singin’ to an Empty Chair
ratboys.bandcamp.com/album/singin...
Rolled the dice after listening to one track on their first album and have bought every one of theirs since. Such good song writers.
Hey, it's #BandcampFriday! 🤘
100% of what you purchase on bandcamp.com goes to the artist. 👍👍👍
Will follow-up to this post later with some of my pickups from today.
Nighttime in the forest with a boardwalk between thick tree trunks. There’s a purple LED heart with LOVE inside it, more white lightbulb orbs hanging from the trees, and white lights in the ferns on the ground
Nighttime, a person in a raincoat walks towards a light tunnel with red lights along a boardwalk
People walking along a suspension bridge in the forest above a canyon at night. The bright is covered in white lights
Love Lights with @johnbollwitt.com at Capilano Suspension Bridge
Looking north from the south end of Third Beach in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. The concrete, stone, and beach are coated in a layer of frost from below freezing temperatures overnight.
A fallen tree trunk has a drawing of a mushroom where it was cut. Plant life and frost surround it.
Tall trees line a trail in Vancouver’s Stanley Park. Mid-morning sun cuts in from the right, causing the trees to cast shadows over the trail.
Sunlight warms an unmarked trail in Vancouver’s Stanley Park with a moss covered, low tree branch arching over the trail.
A clear, cold walk in the park was a great way to help clear the head this morning

Netflix trying to capitalize on the current popularity of hockey shows and also… a *tragedy that rocked our nation less than 10 years ago*
“from what I can see online, they're trying to make some triumph out of tragedy, which for me … I'll never be able to find triumph in this tragedy”

Please share. 💔
Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny
also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street
Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
Hello? NRA?
The whole interview is worth it
