I love it! Thank you for remembering him.

I love this thread. Thank you for sharing.

It’s so hard getting used to life without a good buddy.

Probably. My family believed in margarine.

Good morning. Bad dreams last night.

Peanut butter and jelly mixed together on a plate, forked onto saltines was my comfort food as a kid. We’re talking about crackers we eat, right?

Did they have horseradish in them? I hear that’s the secret.

That brought back a memory.

Making gluten free biscuits.

I’m missing my late husband’s vitriol during these dark times. I received the gift of being the calm one in juxtaposition to his panic. I long for his anger to meet mine over halfway like a pillow with extra comfy neck support.

When your favorite person orders a sheepskin to sleep on in the woods, you gotta try it out for them.

In other end times news…

All siblings with the mama in the shadows.

Just took a photo of 5/6th of our cats looking in the same direction. End times must be upon us.

During my former life, I accepted being shot at, dodging IEDs and the occasional rocket…Let me tell you, waking up to yet another Fork in the Road email knowing it originated from a 19-y/o incel at the behest of an oligarch has me enraged like never before.

Muscle twitches are like the stupidest reason not to be able to sleep when there are so many more kick ass reasons not to be able to sleep.

Billionaire Elon Musk has stated that work is underway to shut down the U.S. foreign aid agency, USAID. Officials have been instructed not to report to work and have been locked out of the building.

Good morning!

After American airspace was closed on 9/11, over 230 flights with 30,000 passengers and crew were diverted to Canadian airports. Transport Canada received thousands of calls from members of the public offering to help the stranded passengers.

Thinking about that today, for no particular reason.

The federal government *regularly* spends money to encourage behavior it couldn’t compel directly. Like paying states to build roads or fund healthcare for those who can’t afford it.

It’s called the Spending Clause—and it’s the very first enumerated power that the Constitution gives to Congress.

🤦🏻‍♂️

it is extremely important that we figure out how to get normies to understand that their car sauce got exponsive and toilet paper became a luxury good because trump unilaterally decided canada should be the 51st state, a thing no one asked for and that he cannot make happen even through trade war

Another way to put it: bsky.app/profile/pete...

Well…that’s something? Maybe? *sigh*

How can it be such a beautiful day outside? Oh well, I will take it. Bicycling got me through some rough times in the past. Why not now?

France, Germany, others urge EU Commission to protect elections in Europe from foreign interference France, Germany and 10 other European Union countries want the European Commission to use its powers under the Digital Services Act to protect the integrity of European elections from foreign interference, a letter signed by the 12 countries showed.

"European affairs ministers from France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Cyprus, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Romania, Slovenia and Spain asked the commission to deliver on promises to create a dedicated EU body to counter foreign information manipulation and interference"

ATTENTION: All of my Lutheran friends and colleagues.

All hands on deck.

Reminder: Canada is our closest ally and our friend

Here's a fact most Americans don't know:
The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world.
The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits.
We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

Government civil servants threatened with US marshals. Why? Bc they were defending classified information and security systems from being accessed by Musk’s flying monkeys.

Illegal AF.

I am always looking for individuals or groups to pay forward the generosity shown to my family at the end of Patrick’s life. Here’s a worthy local one:
