Just spent 2 full days (3 nights) here: no internet, no cell service, the only calls coming from these guys (sound up). Bliss!

So… Fires to the west of me; fires to the east. Happily the winds kept my valley clear today. Stopped outside a shop with our bicycles while hubby goes inside. BIG pickup pulls up. Fellow pops outs, comments: “Good thing it’s only a thousand degrees today!“ Not entirely sure what he means…(1/2)

Thank you Kamloops— it’s been fun watching the games in a free communal space. Probably 1000-ish people there for this last match.(Lots of boos when a close-up of the buffoon-in-chief was shown; so proud!) Can we do this more often? The women’s world cup? the Olympics?

Two AI data centres are coming to Vancouver. A third is coming to Kamloops. What do you think about that? Send me an email at iphannay (at) thetyee (dot) ca Would love to chat. thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

Just spent a month in Europe (10 days France, rest in UK). Three things we saw a lot of there, that I’d like to see here: Pedestrian main streets, Bike garages, Windmills.

Enough with the ugly barren scrub grass. Behold the bee-friendly alternative. I love it, even if it does make me sneeze.

showyourstripes.info/s/northameri... Pretty sure there should be more red/orange in this for the BC interior, but as is always the way, Vancouver data is the closest we can get.

Mood.

The first part of this: Both so simultaneously scary and depressing, but also some hope there. Worth a listen.

Need a smile? A wee bit of whimsy spotted on the banks of the N. Thompson. The bird’s one wing was flapping in the wind.

The Bridge: Ignore the lede, which does not reflect the most mind-blowing part of this discussion. The 2nd and 3rd parts are, wow. “I did not have pivot to Moscow on my scorecard.” J’adore Chantal Hebert, quelle femme intelligente! bsky.app/profile/pete...
