I have this same situation with winter boots. Minus the husband.

We came
We saw
We walked
We made a wrong turn at Albuquerque (oops)
We raised $26,411 (or perhaps more on final count) for the Cedar Centre
We recuperated with dogs
We drank adult beverages
We burned things

Thank you to everyone who supported my #rideforrefuge (got my gold pin again, woo-hoo!)

ONE MORE SLEEP until Ride for Refuge!

I’m walking in support of the Cedar Centre, which helps children, youth, and adults recover from the impact that interpersonal childhood trauma has had on their lives. We still need to raise $924 - info and donation link at alyssawright.com/ramblings/bl....

This was an experiment, based on stuff in the fridge I needed to use up. EXPERIMENT WAS A SUCCESS!!! Holy hell, this was good. Cold-smoked salmon, blueberries and blue cheese, basil and fresh ground pepper. All organic. All locally sourced. ALL GONE, because it was too delicious.

Willow, Brian & I had so much fun playing together earlier, we decided to make it official – ta-daaaaa! We've formed the new trio Witch Castle Bliss.

We're opening for The Queen Bees at Elmvale Heritage Park Wed., July 30, 6-8pm, pay what you are able.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

news outlets: these protesters are out of control

FYI, the #IdleNoMore hashtag is now being blocked/suppressed by Facebook

I tried to think of a witty yet grandmotherly reply, but I’m at a loss. So PHEW! I shall assume that means I am not grandmotherly (and not that my wit is fading…)

Ouch!! 🤣🤣

LOL, brother! The only way to make my cardiologist’s orders remotely tolerable is giving myself an ‘80s dance party before dinner every day!

(Please don’t block me because I mentioned ‘80s and cardiologist in the same sentence. 😅 )

Just an FYI, if someone tells you they're disabled and they don't look like they are... the chances of them lying about it are way smaller than the chances of you just not understanding how hidden disabilities work. Hope that helps.

Black background. Text in large, block, rainbow letters at top: HAPPY PRIDE MONTH Image of layered rainbow "sticks" below Text below rainbow sticks: But to be clear: I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically support everyone's ever true colours throughout the rest of the year, as well. Not to mention, stand up for everyone's rights and freedoms, dignity, opportunity, and safety. It's not limited to 30 days, and it goes beyond waving a few flags.

Oh Morgan, me too.

The fight we face is with President Trump, not Ottawa, and certainly not each other.

Danielle Smith is dividing our country and picking fights in a moment that calls for national unity.

Watch my response to the Premier's address: youtu.be/d4e8Xu5xtqU

Yellow square with a line drawing of a cityscape, and logo of the Encampment Justice Coalition (dome tent with open door) in bottom left. Text: Housing solves homelessness. Punishing people doesn't! Rescind Bill 6

Ontario has reintroduced Bill 6, which will punish encampments even though people have nowhere else to go. That's why we've formed the Encampment Justice Coalition. We're asking Ontario to rescind Bill 6 and commit to housing — not punishment.

Blue "safe" flag with text: Marked Safe From Pierre Poilievre Today

I can’t imagine. It’s difficult enough for the rest of us to process, but… words fail.

Some of the #CanadianElection #Disinformation I’ve seen this week just boggles the mind.

Worth checking out, #CanadaSky

This is not an endorsement, I haven’t had a chance to look deeply. But I do very much like the bit about my data staying in Canada, especially.

For THREE YEARS This Guy Has Whined & Moaned (Photo of Pierre Poilievre) That Canada is Broken For THREE YEARS He Tried To Force An Election So He Could Become Prime Minister And Fix Everything Now With Just DAYS Left Until The Election He Wanted He Still Hasn’t Published A Plan No Plan With Three Years To Prepare? This Guy Is Not A Leader

Feel free to copy, paste & post this image anywhere you want.

#NeverPoilievre

Current polls suggest support for the conservatives and liberals when combined, is likely to breach 80% of the vote in what many consider the most consequential election of their lifetime.” #VOTE

No matter what polls say, this Canadian election could be VERY close.

Don’t be overconfident, apathetic, or unstrategic, like too many were in the United States.

Look how that turned out for them. And for the world.

TURNOUT WINS ELECTIONS.

2 more advance voting days.

Make Mark Carney our PM.

DOGE NORTH: Another Chapter in the Fascist Playbook It was called the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service. This lofty-sounding legislation was the battering ram by which Hitler destroyed the independent civil service in Germany.

Project 2025 was the roadmap for DOGE and the destruction of a non-partisan civil service.
Conservative insiders are bragging that enacting DOGE NORTH would be even easier in Canada.
Trashing the public service is key for the fascist playbook.

Chart showing personal tax rates over the years.

If I may, a few basic thoughts thread on the debates and platforms.
No particular order.

Taxes
PP claimed Canadians are paying more in taxes since the Liberals took office.
Other than the neutral carbon levy, taxes have gone down for most people. Liberals also added benefits etc for many.

Marking myself “safe” (so far) from the ice storm, since people on FB were apparently concerned - but I can’t log in because power and Internet are down, & I think some cell towers too, because only intermittent texting possible. Am preserving my battery, so please let those on the other sites know!
