@TiffanyKShim @Cazzy Yesss, this! Her catalogue is large enough now that she's not going to play some faves which is good for her but sad for us.

@Cazzy Saw the show on Monday - you are in for a TREAT. It was so good.

As someone who has had suicidal thoughts in the past, #exercise was helpful, but it's not a panacea as this review indicates: https://t.co/kbW3l7pYPF

Behavioural therapy and/or medications are often needed.

@melodyma Really glad that they reversed their reversal and that you all got to march in the parade!

1/ Update: After being rejected then unrejected, we got kicked out of the #ChinatownYVR Spring Festival Parade on baseless accusations. Our rejection follows the denial of another intergenerational Chinatown group, Vancouver Lunar New Year for All, from marching. #vanpoli

[Melody Ma | 馬勻雅 @melodyma]

13/ Regrettably, these organizations have not only actively contributed to the gentrification and cultural erasure of Chinatown by supporting Beedie’s #105Keefer, but they are now actively preventing the young and old from participating in our own culture in #ChinatownYVR.

@amandajfollett @Gillanders_L There were some snowys in the Lower Mainland a few years back - you can usually see them at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary (https://t.co/y5t4zoEjCW). Call or email ahead of time to see if any have been spotted before you go!
