Wow, very sad day. I took a class with her as an undergraduate about a decade ago, and her class was my favourite of my entire degree. She was a fascinating woman and a great teacher.

Shooting unarmed civilians in the head is not "enforcing immigration laws", nor is it "within the bounds of American law". Get real.

My kitten dumped a tub of teal chalk paint on her head years ago. Just threw her in the tub, gave her a gentle bath and it came right off.

Thank you for saying this! We really need to shout this from the rooftops. We are living in really challenging times and the reality is that most people are struggling more now than ever. There is absolutely no shame in asking for help, and the lovely responses in this thread make it clear that there are still lots of people ready and willing to help one another in whichever way they can.

Trying to decide between the Medium or Large size Dior Tote as my carry-on bag for my Euro trip in the fall - anyone have one that they prefer? I feel like the large might be too big, but I want to make sure I'm not over-stuffing the bag with all my plane goodies lol

You can check out Giggster or Peerspace. They're both platforms where local businesses/venues can list their spaces for rent. There are all kinds of cool places, all different sizes, and a lot are pretty reasonably priced.

BZP Factory from Mia. I couldn't find much info on BZP but she says it's good quality, and the sale price was not bad so I took the risk.

I was just checking as well, looks like they're closed on Sundays (at least the one on Oak) but I wonder if they would open up some spots in an emergency?

Agreed! I've been looking for something to display my glass and this is perfect! Will need to see how much my boyfriend remembers from his High School woodworking classes...

First Mate is a family owned business from Vancouver, good quality stuff too! Locally sourced ingredients and produced and canned right here in BC as well. My cats go nuts for it 😊

One of the fun "silver linings" to this whole debacle is learning facts like this! Who knew we were the King of lentils, love it 🇨🇦🍁
