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.

A black and yellow sign that reads: β€œDear Parents: We will be playing unedited hip hop all day. Due to the nature of the music, there may be language which may offend you or your kids. Unless, of course, you take parenting advice from Ol’ Dirty Bastard, in which case β€” Wu-Tang is for the children.” A Wu-Tang logo appears at the bottom

Taking all my parenting advice from Ol’ Dirty Bastard.

Unedited hip hop and F-bombs at breakfast? 100% ok. Being mean to your sister? Absolutely not.

I love the idea of connecting both to Airdrie and Cochrane via bike path!

You got this.
Twin parents can do anything… even if we’re sometimes running on chaos and overconfidence and coffee… all the coffee.

And even if you only rode your UA out of pure enjoyment and it was a toy, why does anyone else get to judge how people spend their money and why does a frivolous purchase mean a whole group of people shouldn’t see wage increase?

I’m expecting to be required to have my husband or father to sign the citizenship paperwork and no workaround if they are dead.

It was about an hour for me to vote. The line was long and slow and I was tired and hungry so I wasn’t excited about waiting.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

A child stands indoors on a wood floor, wrapped in a dark blue plaid fabric tied in a large knot at the front, holding up a peace sign. The background shows a beige couch, laundry basket, and a bright window with white shutters.

Teaching my kids reminds me how incredible teachers are.
We’ve dropped the provincially released strike curriculum and are learning to sew insteadβ€”so fair warning: handmade gifts for everyone this Christmas! #yyc

I get that. I am very sensitive to texture so I’m often picky about fabrics. Bamboo is one that doesn’t usually hurt my brain when I’m stressed.

A blue bicycle with a stuffed animal, a white mountain goat wearing a green plaid hoodie, attached to the handlebars. A child wearing a white sweatshirt with flower patches, dark sweatpants, pink gloves, and a helmet stands next to the bike. Behind them is a concrete barrier and a forest of trees with yellow autumn leaves.

It’s true, this goat held on for 25 km. I was glad I had one in my pannier bag for it!

Well that is my thought.. I could sneak in with my regular bike but the UA would go into traffic.

Also at the front of the photo I thought that was a drainage path at first, not a bike path.

Google Maps needs a β€œleast aggressive” route option. I’m not afraid of driving or speed, but there are certain intersections I avoid because people aggressive assholes.
