When everyone (rightfully) shits on Alberta, can we collectively agree that the majority of Edmontonians should be exempt from this vitriol? Our voting patterns speak for themselves. #cdnpoli

Not paying flight attendants until the plane door closes is legalized wage theft. Air Canada, Air Transat, WestJet... they're all guilty of this unethical practice. #cdnpoli #aircanadastrike

It's abhorrent that the government made a back-to-work order. I doubt ANY of them ever work without being compensated for their time. Why isn't that a basic standard for everyone? #cdnpoli #aircanadastrike

There will never be a strike where my support goes to the employer. The imbalance in power will always lead to max extraction from the workforce and striking is the only way to force change. #cdnpoli #aircanadastrike

Eiheiji Temple in Fukui Prefecture, Japan.

What absolutely abhorrent schemes are the ucp ghouls working on this week I wonder — as if I don’t have a dance card full of rage already.

Just another spectacular day being a resident of Alberta 🫥

Hollywood couldn’t write characters as diabolical as the ucp. 💀

Another reason the epidemic of violence against women is so pervasive is the inherent age-old belief that somehow men are entitled to our bodies. The attitude can best be demonstrated in how the President of the United States referred to his victims as property that was “stolen” from him.

Sooooo the UCP ordered all pharmacies to destroy remaining covid vaccines by Aug 1st even if they weren’t expired.

More loser behaviour from Danielle Smith who is making this province abjectly worse with every passing day.

I’m debating not trying to look good for my passport photos so when the renewal comes up in 10 years, I wont feel any type of way.

Are we sure those measles numbers coming from the USA are accurate? Last I checked they mass fired CDC staff and the health secretary is anti-vax 🕵️‍♀️

If you’ve never worked in the service industry or held multiple “menial” jobs at once, your negative opinion on UBI is irrelevant.

Prickly cactus blooming with yellow flowers

Look at that gorgeous yellow bloom!! New garden goal unlocked: cactus in Edmonton. #edmontongarden #yeg

I curse whoever designed front loading washing machines. The front rubber seal is actually impossible to fully clean and collects all kinds of goop in unreachable nooks.

It's been 10 years since I last lived at the John Deere lofts in downtown Edmonton. Still love this space but I do not miss the paper thin walls!

Got my updated measles vax and this surrealist masterpiece was on the wall:

One thing you’ll never find on my social media or blog is anything generated by AI. All the spelling errors and terrible outfits are generated by ME and me alone.

I pray for the return of icq.
