The Bunny Museum will rebuild and it will be our 3rd location. Anyone want to donate a building for a 501c3 non-profit museum? Steve and Candace, 2 bunnies, and 3 cats are currently in a motel. Not a hoppy day, today, but tomorrow will be hoppier with so many good wishes. Thanks.

The cooling effect of a single, young street tree is the same as 5 room-sized air conditioners operating 20 hours/day.
If London had delivered the 50% increase in street trees that I did as a Hackney Cllr, we may have prevented the U.K’s first, but not last, 40C+ heatwave.

Thanks for chatting with me @DailyHiveVan. Size Inclusivity is a major issue in the fashion industry — and a company valued at 2.2 billion dollars can’t seem to extend their sizing, almost 40 years into the business.
Tiktoker Lydia Okello is calling out Aritzia for their lack of larger sized garments in store 👀
“You mean to tell me we can make a Super Puff for the homie at the top of Jack’s beanstalk, but we cannot make a 3X,” Okello said in the video.

"Burden of truth-telling should not be placed on survivors. The NCTR has created memorial register to publicly honour the children who never returned home from residential schools. The register currently names 4,130 children. I would urge every Canadian to review the register."
Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we anticipate a record number of people will take part in reconciliation-focused events.
Reconciliation begins with truth-telling; let's all learn the real history of residential schools.

A gentle prodding to remind you that my book launch is happening tomorrow at The Lido here in Vancouver. The lineup is, if I may, stacked, and we also have something special for those in attendance (nothing of monetary value, only experiential. Apologies)

It would be morally wrong to vote for this party now, in my opinion.
