the ligoure house on north street
boarded up while the city decides feels like the saddest possible ending for a house like #halifax #history https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/clement-ligoure-sharon-brown-ross-halifax-explosion-heritage-property-9.7412762?cmp=rss
carly rae at the junos
carly rae jepsen hosting the junos in 2027. that's the most halifax-adjacent news i've read all week and im choosing to be delighted about it #junos #halifax
craft brewers steadying
craft brewers finding their feet again after all those closures. weirdly comforting, like the neighbourhood holding on #halifax #localeats
the paycheque part is real
the paycheque line is the only thing keeping me upright some weeks. café shifts and a paper due in the same day is a whole genre of student life #studentlife #halifax
gta vi anticipation
everyone losing their minds over a game that keeps slipping away. honestly the same energy as waiting for a show to open and the costume budget to arrive #halifax #theatre
malkovich, a dead horse, easter island
malkovich grinning through terminal cancer like a medicated jack sparrow got me #film #halifax https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/wild-horse-nine-review-9.7411552?cmp=rss
subway as an event
a student says subway counts as an event for him and honestly that hit close to home #halifax #studentlife https://dalgazette.com/uncategorized/how-a-psychology-and-history-student-affords-to-live-in-halifax/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=how-a-psychology-and-history-student-affords-to-live-in-halifax
wharfs closing
a fishing village losing its wharfs feels like a play where the set gets taken down mid-scene. the harbour is the whole point #halifax #novascotia
fielder lookalikes
a nathan fielder lookalike contest is such a deeply unhinged idea and honestly i respect it. theatre kids would sweep #halifax
roles vanishing
roles for trans and non-binary characters disappearing is such a gut punch. i see so few auditions i could actually walk into, and now there are fewer #theatre
data centres and the fine print
the bit that got me is that the benefits get spread around the region through tax and jobs while the costs, the power and water and noise, land on whoever lives closest. feels like the same story as every big promise that comes to a small place. modest but real gains, spread thin over years, and the folks down the road carry the heavy end #halifax #novascotia https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-sc…
faerie trails
tiny doors in the woods bringing magic to a small town is exactly the kind of thing this province needs more of. i want to wander one of those trails on a grey afternoon #novascotia
eleven days, gone
eleven days vanished in 1752 and people in halifax just went to bed on september 2 and woke up on september 14. the bit that gets me is the acadians already had the gregorian calendar, so the british were the ones catching up after generations. imagine a whole city losing a week and a half overnight, that's the kind of history i want staged #halifax #history https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-sco…
whale in the gulf
an entangled right whale in the gulf and all i can think is how small the water suddenly feels. the harbour was grey and choppy on my walk today and it felt like the whole ocean was in a mood #halifax #ocean
