Late on posting but am stoked to have received gold in the Best Local Community News category at the Canadian Online Publishing Awards for this piece on Nanaimo's "hidden epidemic" and those fighting to understand it. thediscourse.ca/nanaimo/hidden…

@DesmondCole @NaomiAKlein @avilewis your questions are spot on and I love how you can see her come alive throughout the interview

@DesmondCole @NaomiAKlein @avilewis this is fantastic!

@RiverWardRiley Don't threaten me with a good time, this would actually be epic 😂

The City has agreed to my proposal to convert the Celebration Park stormwater pond to the world's largest goldfish pond. We will attempt to beat the world record my adding 50,000 goldfish to the pond prior to Canada Day.

@eresc79 Hey would you want to chat with me for a story I'm writing on Vancouver vacancy rates? Would love to hear your take. Send me a DM or julie@vancitylookout.com

The purpose-built apartment vacancy rate in Vancouver hit 3.7%, the highest level since 1988. A year ago it was 1.6%. Turnover rates also increased from 9.1% to 11.6%. Rents for new tenants dropped for the first time in years. Population growth 📉 cmhc-schl.gc.ca/professionals/… #vanRE

@bryan_johnson @MoonOverlord Three grams is plenty

@MoonOverlord what would you suggest?

What is your recommended playlist for a 5 gram magic mushroom journey…

@ScottWible @bryan_johnson If i stick to not eating past 4 p.m. or so I find I sleep way better. Going without food for periods of time definitely doesn't stress it out, your body needs breaks from digesting

@bryan_johnson Do you ever find that restricting calories affects sleep? I’m on a pretty severe diet and losing a lot of weight quickly, but I fear it is stressing my body out and hampering sleep.

My bedtime has arrived. Here's what's going to happen. After I finish writing this post, screens are off. Wash face. Clean mouth. Hair serums. While listening to An Immense World. Will sit on my couch and process the day. Need to listen to all the Bryan's and what's on their minds. I hung out with @ChrisWillx today on his podcast. That Bryan is going to want to remind me about all the stupid stuff I said and the clips that Chris and team will cut where I'll look like an idiot. I'm going to tell that Bryan that it's ok. We've said stupid stuff before and it was fine. But thanks for the reminder. Dad Bryan will want to talk about the kids and how they're doing. What we can do to help them feel more loved and supported. We'll jot down a few ideas. Work Bryan will want to revisit the 50 decisions we made today and reevaluate if they were good or bad in retrospect. Any concerns will be noted to revisit tomorrow with a fresh mind. Self-Aware Bryan will want to rehash all conversations that took place today to make sure we account for any major mishaps, missteps, blunders, slip-ups, oversights, miscalculations, misjudgments, misfires, lapses, faults, flops, foul-ups, or screw-ups. Will have chats with Dark Humor Bryan, Don't Die Bryan, and Blueprint Bryan. Scribe Bryan will wrap up the conversation and tell everyone that all is well. Everyone has been heard and we can now hand over the reigns to Sleep Bryan. Only red light on in the house. It's quiet and calm. Sleep Bryan will pick up the book Tripping on Utopia, which we'll finish tonight. As we read, various random thoughts will land in my consciousness and Sleep Bryan will remind the other Bryan's that we've taken notes on everyone's thoughts and that we have a full day tomorrow to do it all. Right now, we're losing ourself in this book and calming the body and mind for sleep. Reading is going to feel like a sleep medication. Soon I'm going to feel my adenosine reach its peak, tipping my brain into a calm, heavy sleep readiness. It happens all of a sudden and I'm instantly ready and desperate for sleep. The value of a well honed circadian rhythm. I'll do 5 minutes of breath work. Four seconds in and six seconds out. I'll roll through each body part and imagine each one relaxing. Jump in bed, turn on my side, pillow between legs while hugging another. Bed head slightly elevated. My resting heart rate will be between 39-44 bpm. I'll fall asleep within 2 minutes and get around 2 hours of deep and 2 hours of REM. 50% chance I make it through the night without waking up. Fingers crossed. If I do wake up for a trip to the bathroom, I'll be back to sleep within a few minutes. I've addressed the rumination already that would otherwise keep me up. Tomorrow morning I'll wake up feeling amazing and energetic. I'll complete my four hour morning routine while listening to a book. I'm going to start a new book tomorrow. I try to read 2 a week. The morning will start around 4:30 or 5 am. Whenever my body naturally reports for duty. I'll immediately clean my mouth, take my inner ear temp, and get 10000 lux into my eyes. Home air is crisp, monitored and cleaned in every room. Morning pre-work nutrition, 60-90 min exercise, 20 min sauna, 60 min HBOT. Wash off. A delicious breakfast of veggies, legumes, extra virgin olive oil, berries, nuts, seeds and about 50 super molecules that are ideally dosed and third party tested. My mind will be flooded with new ideas about life and the world. I can't wait. Good night. I hope you sleep well.

@RiverWardRiley Oh no Riley! Hope you recover quickly. Keep us updated.

Over the lunch hour today, I had an ultrasound on my left leg that discovered a number of blood clots. I went to the Civic Emergency and am currently awaiting treatment. I regret missing the Committee meeting this afternoon but was advised this is serious.

@maggiemoda Read Gospel of Wealth by Andrew Carnegie. He started out in total poverty and through his steel empire became the wealthiest man on earth and then gave away most of his money because his philosophy was that to die rich was to die disgraced ia801309.us.archive.org/4/items/cu3192…

Why stop at billionaires? Billie is a multimillionaire. Why isn't she living in a two-bedroom apartment like me? Very selfish of her.

@maggiemoda @MaDR86 The day people start seeing billionaires "as antisocial hoarders monopolizing resources that could be directed towards life-or-death needs elsewhere will be the day that the inequality crisis that has been building since the Reagan era begins to end." inthesetimes.com/article/jeff-b…

@MaDR86 I don't think wealth is evil, and if you engage in a game of "he/she has more," you will end up making everyone poor.

@truthdotphd @SamanthaTaghoy brilliant

@SamanthaTaghoy British culture has a unique skill; it can make people cry over tea, laugh at rain, and argue politely while secretly furious. It’s sarcasm wrapped in tradition, served with emotional restraint. Loving it means appreciating chaos elegantly disguised as charm.

When I say I love British culture, this is what I mean. It’s enough to bring tears to your eyes.

@SamanthaTaghoy It's so true 😭 the lady at the British restaurant who gave me a cup of tea and some beans on toast and comforted me when I was crying about my boyfriend

Never let them tell you Britain has no culture. Our culture is one of kindness, good manners, strong moral values, showing respect for your fellow man, and looking after the most vulnerable in society. And proper, hearty food to boot.

As seen on the Chief William Commanda Bridge #Ottawa #wholesomegraffiti

Fantastic coverage and gorgeous photos by @oliviagrandy of the royal visit to Ottawa from the @ucarleton student journalists @CapitalCurrent great job guys capitalcurrent.ca/king-charles-a…

@jlm_sophie My firstborn was super clingy, I’d just have a bath or shower with her or quickly do it while she was sleeping. It’s what they need at the time but doesn’t last forever. Other than that I’d wear her in a pack all the time.

@_Knight_writer Finely chopped dill pickles and a splash of the juice. Along with mayo etc. I sometimes add actual dill in too

I just mix salt, pepper, and mayo in my tuna for tuna fish sandwiches. They're okay, but not great. Any suggestions on how I can up my tuna game? I don't like celery, btw.

@EmmaMci @TorontoStar Are you still with Narwhal? Or this is a new job? In any case, they are lucky to have scooped you up. Can't wait to see what you do next ♥️

Today is my first day with the @TorontoStar’s investigations team. It’s a real dream job in a million ways. Grateful to be here and excited to get started! My new inbox is open for tips: emcintosh@thestar.ca

@Addy_n10s @KimPigSquash This is the result of reading the court cases and historical documents myself. That’s the great thing about facts, you don’t have to believe anyone’s take on them.

@JulieHChadwick @KimPigSquash Three words in we could tell “fully indoctrinated”. You don’t have to keep going on and on, Charlie Brown’s teacher

A group of University of British Columbia professors wants BC Supreme Court to order the school to stop declaring or acknowledging its campuses are on unceded Indigenous land. ctvnews.ca/vancouver/arti…

@ForMaa2023 @KimPigSquash Or we could just acknowledge the reality of how this country was founded, realize that if we want to live under the rule of law that the law sometimes uncovers inconvenient facts, and move forward in a productive way that takes that into account, so everyone can do well.

If it’s their land then break Canada up and sever it all off into pieces. Can’t have it both ways. Enough with this bs UN globalist farce. Too bad indigenous don’t see how they are being used. Though.. I’m fairly certain they do see but are all good with it as long as they continue to benefit. Would really love to stop hearing about genocide and colonialism after though. Seems to me had whites actually done that we wouldn’t be dealing with any of this bs today.

@KimPigSquash It's mandatory in Ontario ontario.ca/document/educa…

@JulieHChadwick Is it really compulsory in Cdn schools to sing the national anthem? I had never heard that. I have lived here nearly all my adult life and did not know. I remember the daily pledge of allegiance to the flag in US schools only.
