I agree. It is really hard to justify why a person might need 3 or more homes.

Honestly, government buildings should not be named after people. Too many places and buildings around BC were named after people we later recognized had done unfavourable things in their lives.

 

Facilitation is a skill set that we should all develop. Group problem solving is a focus of anarchism. Other than through practice, how have you developed this skill?

Most of the resources I find online are focused towards a corporate and business approach. While I imagine some of what is taught will be universal, I wonder if there are better resources for learning community facilitation skills. Are there any books , courses, or videos series you recommend?

Yes Raffi was and is a favourite. Thank you for the recommendations

 

At bedtime, my toddler now knows how to tell me they want me to sing a different song. I am running out of songs so have begun to pull at the church songs that are forever lodged in my brain from my upbringing. I don't like the idea of teaching the messages in these songs. It led me to wonder if there are songs with good social messages that are appropriate for children. It's a stretch but I hope you all can help me out!

The article says they are fundraising but doesn't give a link. I guess they aren't fundraising from the public? Does anyone have more info?

Power and love to this mom. It cannot be easy speaking about this.

I get prioritizing over tourists, but help me understand, why should island residents get a priority over residents of the Lower Mainland? Unless an island resident is coming for medical treatment they can't get on the island?

I can't imagine a 50% reduction to bus service. I am guessing a solution is still being negotiated.

Transit-oriented and nonprofit, I can't ask for much more. I wish this project all the success.

I am very familiar with this Heriarchy of Controls for my work designing the power system. We care deeply about public and worker safety. And then traffic engineers throw it out the window when they design our roads? It is very frustrating to see. Motonormativity at work.

I am also a subscriber. While some of the produce still comes from the US, I think it reduces our dependence by reducing waste. It is cheaper than the super market but still more expensive than the local grocers here in Vancouver.

This is a great explanation. I do hope someone picks this up because it provided a lot of value to the community.

For me, the biggest loss is the hardened Firefox-derived browser, Mull. Is Fennec with some custom settings the next best option? I know Vanadium is a good option but based on Chromium.

What local organizations and charities do you donate to and why? What organizations are the most important or effective at their mission?

Three apartment fires with one common factor.

The properties were — and still are — owned by Fu De (Henry) Ren and his wife, Fang Yan. And while the Mount Pleasant fire was determined to be accidental, the buildings and their owners had a record of multiple fire safety violations.

I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I'd say it's the first game where I've noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week.

On the other hand, I found Slay the Spire to be better on PC. The controls and smaller screen seem to get in the way a little bit more.

Any other suggestions for games that really shine on the Deck vs PC?
