“My mother gave her last breath in my arms," she said. "Even when dying, she saved me, as she was on top of me.” The earthquake killed over 45,000 in Turkey and has taken a terrible toll on mental health. I’ve spoken with survivors, rescue teams, experts https://t.co/nnQr86ea7I

@Josie_Osborne I was very into squids as a kid.

This is a heavy time. Thinking of everyone in the region.

8574 now confirmed dead in twin quakes in #Türkiye.

I am so numbed, so frustrated, tired, hungry, cold. My grandparents are still under the rubble after 41 hours of the earthquake. We are sleeping in the car. Still having tremors. Some of my childhood friends, my relatives are dead. Some are still missing. Gosh it’s so heavy.

@TransLink @BCFerries Ha, bless you,social media responder. I’m in Vancouver for 5 minutes and I’m already so grumpy lol.

[Mary Leighton @MaryLeighton604]

A @translink bus just left without an entire @BCFerries ferry worth of passengers at Horseshoe Bay, because the boat arrived 5 minutes late due to high winds. Is coordination, or compassion, so hard?

A powerful earthquake of over 7,4 magnitude has hit south-eastern Turkey, near the border w/ Syria, killing at least 10 people. Alarm level is raised to four and Interior Minister called for intl help. Tremor affected over 10 Turkish cities and felt as far as Lebanon and Syria

In other words, I walked miles and miles. I visited no museums or fashionable neighbourhoods. And it ended with beer. I feel great.

It was a @Chris_arnade kind of travel day.

@TorranceCoste Katsura?

@j_mcelroy See what happens when you leave?

[Mary Leighton @MaryLeighton604]

@kkirkup I listened to @AnandWrites talk about his new book The Persuaders. Bottom line was that people do what is ‘normal’, vs right or rational. I’m in a school of people without masks. I’m afraid we’ve lost the campaign to make masks normal, even for politicians.

That’s my union ✊

[BC Teachers’ Federation @bctf]

@Climate_Pete I literally polled high school students this morning. November is no one’s favourite. One student called it “the Thursday of months”.

@jessicamcilroy Honey locust tree I think 👍

[Mary Leighton @MaryLeighton604]

@AngelaSterritt 3 min timer on my phone when I pull into the garage from work. Game changer!

[Mary Leighton @MaryLeighton604]

Well, today I had planned to continue rebuilding our inactive #bcndp riding association around the leadership race - phoning almost expired members, checking addresses, hosting a debate watch party. Now…

[Mary Leighton @MaryLeighton604]

Next #bcndp convention is in what, 13 months? All the riding associations will be having AGMs between now and then.

If you got a membership, maybe stick around and use it.
