I took one of the best photos of my life on May 2, 2024!

[CHEK News @CHEK_News]

An estimated 500 America visitors gathered for a group photo with Nanaimo residents in Maffeo Sutton Park Saturday, in a massive show of neighbour solidarity.

@snufflewort So like this photo! (and your books, of course 😄)

@guyfelicella Thoughts with you, and yes, asking for help is always a strength. Well said.

[West Coast Bob Hawkes @bob_coast]

@snufflewort All great, Jean, but I really like bottom right.

When the ice road is closed and residents of West Dawson, Yukon, need to vote.

Some special ballot kiosks have a better view than others! To our election workers who make these services happen: Thank you.

@snufflewort We are all lucky to live in this beautiful place! Thanks for sharing the wonderful video!

A Michigan bookstore owner needed help moving 9,100 books to a new location.

So, what happened?

300 people showed up, formed a human chain and passed every single book by hand.

It only took me 12 years of trying to get a proper reflexion at Bow Lake.

Enjoy

In Brazil, a seniors' center was gifted mobility bikes for its residents.

Now they’re cruising, smiling, and feeling young again.

Kindness always wins. 🚵‍♀️💙

100 years ago, The Great Gatsby was published.

When F. Scott Fitzgerald died, he believed it was a failure.

He made only $2,000 in royalties from the book, including just $13.13 in his final royalty check.

Today it sells more than 500,000 copies each year.

Sending you peace & strength for the road we travel. #fuckcancer

[West Coast Bob Hawkes @bob_coast]

@snufflewort Yes!

Does anyone else in Victoria, Canada think the cherry blossoms are extra lush and lasting longer this year? #yyj
