Stunning artwork. Captivating

Even when they do, itโ€™s always in safe, cushy positions.

Iโ€™m going to trust you on that. But that scene was strangely erotic. And, for the time, it was probably pushing censorship rules. Especially William Shatner

I grew up being horribly allergic to wool and lots of other stuff. Now that Iโ€™ve outgrown that, it feels like a superpower to envelop myself in wool every chance I get.
I also love my antique HBC blankets. I figure my ancestors worked hard to trade for those things, Iโ€™m going to cherish them.

Went to a neighbourhood party last night and we were outnumbered by the dogs that tagged along. And they also out charmed us!

I save up my holey merino wool clothes to repurpose the good parts into other stuff. I bet you could make an interesting patchwork scarf with the pieces ๐Ÿค”

Thatโ€™s great. Itโ€™s less likely to soak up โ€œstuffโ€

Itโ€™s pretty sad that the team is so into partying with that pond scum.

Youโ€™ll want a really long narrow scarf that wraps around and around. Then as you need to, you can pull open the mouth opening if it starts to get too much condensation

We wrapped scarves around our foreheads and then around our faces so that just your eyes peep through. Itโ€™s also a great way to make an instant snow blindness mask.

I guess. I spent my growing up years in Winnipeg and Northwestern Ontario and I donโ€™t think I ever owned an umbrella. Someone needs to tell them about scarves. Or maybe pinch one of those balaclavas from an ICE dude.

It happens when youโ€™re a victim of partner violence also. And trying to report violence towards their kids results in accusations of retaliation or spitefulness. Itโ€™s always about those with more power protecting each otherโ€™s backs even when the harassment comes from their trad wives.

Why are these people carrying umbrellas?

And a wickedly hot, sexy scene had Captain Kirk slipping on his boots after an encounter that we filled in with our imaginations.

Of course Kavanaugh is Trumpโ€™s hero. Rapists gotta stick together

Well whatโ€™s actually troubling is that it wasnโ€™t SEEN but definitely was unscrupulous behaviour by people with a degree of shame & understanding of laws to skirt around. USA has a long history of overthrowing governments for itโ€™s own gain.
Voters support cruelty for the promise of โ€œaffordability" ๐Ÿ™„

MAGA is still freaking out over Bad Bunnyโ€™s show not speaking English.

Imagine the Washington National Opera having to cater to that crowd. No wonder theyโ€™re leaving the Kennedy Centre

It seems like a very recent thing to hear it so much in the mainstream. Itโ€™s especially a huge problem when the โ€œtruth-telling newsโ€ uses colloquialism in reporting.

Itโ€™s not heard in Canada. We mostly say โ€œthe states.โ€ Like โ€œgoing to the statesโ€ โ€ฆ when that used to be a thing ๐Ÿซค

Think of all those sad sacks who will never know the joy of house parties ๐Ÿค” where some dumbasses challenge each other to rip a phone book in half.

Yes!! So please STOP ๐Ÿ›‘ calling that one country โ€œAmericaโ€ as though youโ€™ve already annexed the rest of us!! Iโ€™m looking at you too NYT

I guess putting lead back in gasoline is next. It would sure make gas guzzler manufacturers happy. Big deal if it destroys childrenโ€™s brains and potential

Just got the latest Walrus magazine in the mail. Iโ€™m guessing that, if they had a crystal ball, the editors would not have published this right now when Canada is mourning the mass shooting of mostly children in Tumbler Ridge BC.

Feeling grateful for my West Coast island life right now. Even though itโ€™s kind of a damp day, seeing the start of cherry blossoms when we havenโ€™t even hit February is a shot of happy #VancouverIsland #VictoriaBC

Iโ€™ve had some tough times with my daughterโ€ฆ as a single mom when she was a baby & might have made some questionable choices. But she sent me this song and my heart just melted. Iโ€™m atheist but still ๐Ÿ’•

Makes it all seem worthwhile to have kept working through it all
