@MaxBlumenthal Don’t forget the curtains!!

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

@manniefabian Did they find curtains? Or a baby bottle this time? Diapers on the floor? Or god forbid, a World Health Organization sign? It’s not a terrorist hideout without those things apparently (as shown in the IDFs video of their raid in the children’s hospital)
This is a JOKE

An extraordinary woman and friend has passed away, leaving behind her 5yo daughter who could use your support. Please consider donating - everything goes to her special little girl ❤️ link in comments about the incredible legacy Arley left behind https://t.co/1dPUpx54ey

Arley was a natural at being a mother. Doted on Dot in the best and most encouraging of ways. My text feeds are full of the cute things Dot said to her, the rocks she collected, the art she made. Even when it was hard she never faltered. She LOVED her little girl. #thatwasarley

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

She was always on call for any of my baking needs/crisis. She once stayed up late night with me helping my decorate my sons second birthday cake. Her genius idea was to use melted chocolate to form his back plates. Seriously saved the day.

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

Arley was a baker. She loved going the extra mile. She once popped over with leftover cupcakes she made for her book club. They were each decorated with books that had little pages with black scribbles on them - all hand made #thatwasarley

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

She told me she posted the story and it went “viral” on Twitter. We both revelled in the magic of that moment. She said dot always had a special relationship with crows.

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

Our favourite park memory was when dot got away on her and ran towards the road. All these crows popped up out of nowhere, perched on the hedges ahead of where Dot was running and began cawing loudly in chorus. Dot stopped in her tracks and watched as we caught up #thatwasarley

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

Just to add, dot was never in danger here - we tag teamed lassoing our kids and I was gaining on Dot quickly lol. Crows got to her first!!

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

Going through all my texts with Arley over the years. God, what an amazing mother she was. Completely devoted, supportive and patient. Always up for anything. Our park adventures were endless. #thatwasarley

@DenverMc Those special days @Arley_McNeney

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

@DenverMc I’m so sorry for your loss. Arley and I were neighbours. Every Saturday we would rotate between our homes, drinking coffee and relishing in our kids growing and playing together. I loved my mornings with Arley. She was a natural born mother and caring friend.

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

@appliedcomms @Arley_McNeney What a beautiful and thoughtful tribute. Thank you for sharing it. Arley was larger than life and I’m devastated she’s gone. So many emotions - it’s hard to understand how it’s even real. I share in your sorrow.

@carmichaelsk @VolcanoDoc I think in the future you can create a workflow around it. Essentially you edit video in pro, create overlays in AE and then link the two together. If you plan on creating lots of video content and get fancy with it then pro/AE combo is the way to go!!

[Lesley Stokes @NorthernGeo]

@carmichaelsk Use Adobe after effects! That’s what I use to add any sort of title blocks or animated overlays to my video content. There is also an enormous amount of support videos on you tube to help! I love these programs!! Totally agree on the steep learning curve lol

@icbc Myself and my 3.5 year old son was almost killed by exactly this. The crosswalk was at Broadway near balaclava - it doesn’t have a light and anyone not familiar with the area wouldn’t know to stop. It should be removed.

@Lidsville Weekend or not, the story broke on Friday. No excuse for media to not cover unless the developer is paying some hush money
