Think flying sucks? Try traveling on @BCFerries

A lot of worried people and one poor (stressed) staff member at the Duke Point terminal right now. #nanaimo

The #comoxvalley is also a great #hiking destination!

Fiery skies over #nanaimo tonight.

The cli-fi anthology Extinction Notice: Tales of a Warming Earth is now out! It includes my psychological #horror story "Slow Burn." https://t.co/dFCgJ9DpuD

Profits from sales of the anthology will be donated to environmental charities, such as The Sierra Club. #ClimateFiction

I don't mind the foggy west coast winters at all, but it's damn nice when the sun makes an unexpected appearance. #nanaimo #sundayvibes #vanvouverisland

I grabbed this one because my current WIP is set in northwest BC, but I'm enjoying it more than I expected. The format took a bit of getting used to though.

"You idiot! The mandates are provincial, not federal!"

Man, I feel bad for residents of Ottawa. Sure hope this ends soon.

Foggy winter stroll.

Rain is pulverizing the snow in #nanaimo (yay!). Now we just have flooding to stress about.

Well, our New Year's Day tradition of blowing up the gingerbread house with fireworks didn't quite work out this year. Still fun though.

Merry Christmas, from our xmas skeleton to yours.

Our weird/redneck #holiday tradition...

My daughter decorates a lovely #gingerbread house just before #ChristmasEve

On NY's day, my bro and I stuff it full of firecrackers, sprinkle on a little gas and we all gather to watch the candy shards fly. 🧨🤯

Its days are numbered⬇️

Suzuki was later asked whether or not he supported the bombing of pipelines and said, “of course not.”

That's what right-wing politicians are (willfully) missing.

Suzuki's comments weren't a threat, but a warning of what could happen. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis

[Dustin Walker @dustinjaywalker]

And this chaos happened just within the past 5 months!

Meanwhile, oil and gas companies continue to get $3.3 billion annually in federal subsidies 🤔 #ClimateAction #ClimateEmergency #bcstorms

Fun fact: There used to be an unregulated zoo up there in the 1950s. A lion escaped once and ran amok: https://t.co/UjlK5taQUR

They arrived at my door wearing misshapen masks and vintage clothes.

None of them held sacks for candy or yelled 'trick or treat.' But the little one in the skull helmet pointed down the street.

I saw nothing. But I felt the air turn heavy and sour and rotten.#trickortweet2021

Wow @SpartanRace - “F” rating by the @bbb_us because you don’t respond to complaints (most of which are for your refund policy). Sure, ignoring it people is one business strategy. #iwantarefund

@SpartanCanada When you say 'stay tuned to our page', are you referring to your Better Business Bureau page? https://t.co/6hfZDob1si
