Seeing the Vice President of the United States calling people "dipshit" on social media wasn't on my 2025 bingo card, but that's on me at this point, it absolutely should have been

Also wondering if good old conservative MP Ted Falk has anything to say after his mournful post about Charlie Kirk? How do you feel about your supporters taking that and turning it into threats of violence against a community that did absolutely nothing wrong?

As a former Steinbach area resident who worked there, who felt the loneliness of being queer in a conservative Christian community before we even had Pride...I'm angry, and I'm sad. It's one fucking day, can't we have that without your hate being shoved in our faces?

During the Layton years I was a queer woman living in Brad Trost's riding. I got to hear my MP say in person that he would repeal same sex marriage and ban abortion if he could, at a USask forum no less. And he still got re-elected easily. But man, I'm still proud of how loud we booed him.

What could have been. We still miss you Jack.

55 days until we move and Luna is thrilled that we've already got a house full of boxes.

Wab Kinew wants the tariffs on Chinese EV's lifted. I agree.

Ottawa wants certainty from China before making concessions on canola tariffs, minister says Beijing announced 75.8% tariffs on Canadian canola seed at the end of an anti-dumping probe that followed Ottawa’s 100% tariffs on Chinese-made EVs

China has been targeting Canadian canola in trade disputes for well over a decade. Why do we think they are going to do anything different at this point? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

well that's not great

An article on Rosalind Franklin published (2001) in the Canadian Journal of Medical Laboratory Science.

Happy birthday Rosalind Franklin (25 July 1920)

Showing once again, we've got the best one.

There's no motivation to clean quite like
"under no circumstances can we let these people see how we actually live"

And stop expecting women to be the absolute best, want to be on your outreach team, do more just because. Some just want to come to work, do their job and go home. Just like 90% of your male workforce.

FAST COMPANY Article: While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro- retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months. Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

'Vacations.'

The word is 'vacations.'

I WILL NEVER GIVE UP MY EM DASHES

The kid from St. Vital is coming home.

A therapist with personal experience once told me "there's no tired like thyroid tired" and I'm feeling that hard right now.

If ya’ll think MyKayla Skinner’s transphobia is bad, wait until you hear about her racism.

I’d like to welcome the non-gymnastics community to the We Hate MyKayla Skinner Club. Come on in, the water is a decade old but still somehow refreshing.

I think I'll ignore MyKayla Skinner. Great gymnast. But she's said many, MANY dumb things over the years. I don't respect her opinion.

I'm going to go with the assumption that this retirement happened at age 6 and zero further learning took place outside of Tim Daggett exclaiming "gymnastics 101 baby!" And never actually watching NCAA.

Oh that hurts my brain

Scientists always assume that people will find results exciting and methods boring. That's often a misconception. People are just as interested (or even more so) in *how* and *why* you are doing things as they are in learning what you've found.

The Tonys making me sad about no more NYC trips for shows, so I guess I need to start watching flight prices to London and West End tickets instead...there is no show or performer that will make me set foot in the United States again.
