Update: feeling good so far! Errands done.

Hmmm…my foot is healing quickly now and I’m trying to decide whether it’s healed enough to try running a small errand or not. I should be able to be objective about this, but the cabin fever is strong in me right now 😆

Just one little quick trip on the bus to the grocery store can’t hurt…right??

Official NASA portrait of Dr. Roberta Bondar, Canada's first female astronaut. She smiles confidently in an orange NASA space suit, holding her helmet, with the US and Canadian flags behind her (left and right, respectively). A mission patch on her suit reads “STS-42 Discovery – International Microgravity Laboratory.”

Dr. Roberta Bondar in the field (at the edge of Lake Elementaita, Kenya, watching for lesser flamingoes.) as a wildlife and nature photographer. Seated inside an open safari vehicle, she peers intently through a large telephoto camera pointed toward a sunlit African savanna landscape with water and distant trees under a clear blue sky. She wears a light hoodie and glasses on a cord.

Dr. Roberta Bondar--astronaut, neurologist, and photographer--was born #OTD in 1945.

She became #Canada's first female astronaut in 1992. The world's first neurologist in space, she is globally recognized for her contributions to space medicine. #WomenInSTEM #AstronautEnvy 🚀

City of Vancouver lays off dozens of staff following property tax freeze The City of Vancouver has notified approximately 30 non-unionized staff members that their roles will be ending, according to an email from the city manager.

NEW: Firing workers 3 weeks before Christmas!

This is who Ken Sim and ABC are.

We'll keep fighting against these cuts to jobs and public services.

Next year we're going to beat these bullies and make Vancouver a Solidarity City.

Well, there’s lightening streaks…so??

This is the secret reason why I walk around naked now.

Ok, I keep accidentally reading this as 💩spotter lmao. Clearly I need more caffeine.

No, it’s funnier this way, and heaven knows after this year, we could all use a good laugh 🤭

From the Simpsons: 3 Panels 1: Moe (BC Conservatives) throws Barney (John Rustad) out of the bar. 2: Moe (BC Conservatives) dusts his hands off as he looks out the door of the bar. 3: Barney (John Rustad) walks up behind Moe (BC Conservatives) inside the bar.

BC Conservatives: "John Rustad is 'Professionally Incapacitated' and has been removed as Leader."

John Rustad: "Nuh uh! I'm still leader! of the BC Conservative Party!"

Hey! If you’ve ever liked my voice, now, before the end of the year, would be a really good time to hire me for any SAG-approved projects!

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

Accidentally said “Build a Ballsack” instead of “Build a Bear” and invented a new retail nightmare.

Good news? It seems my foot doesn’t immediately swell when I walk around the house AND I feel like I now have roughly 75% stability on it? Like not perfect, but definitely on the path to healing finally.

Now I just have to resist the urge to over do it. Which will be difficult, NGL 😆

What if you used a straw? I’d say I’m just spitballing here, but that method wouldn’t work either.

A photo of workers at Individualized Shirts, a shirt factory in New Jersey. Each person has their fist in the air as a sign of solidarity. There's a sign behind them with photos and the words: "Fair Contract Now."

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵
