And heck yeah to Mandami. Well freakin' done. Just avoided all the crap, the drama and stupid questions, and just did the work. What a wonderful thing to watch.

It's an interesting thing to have history behind us to review and reflect on, right? The path to authoritarianism, and beyond, is a slow and slippery slide. I'm so very thrilled to see that it appears that enough of our southern neighbours are seeing the reality of what's happening. Fingers crossed!

I am not American, but watching what's happening to the grounds of the whitehouse (the trees!!!) is heartbreaking.

Gawd, I needed that chuckle, what a fun post.

Yeah, we ARE N.I.C.E. here. So happy to be Canadian!

How are y'all doing out there? It's a bit dicey, eh? Come by for a visit, stay a bit, you won't regret it! 🍁

It's difficult to keep up with the stupid from the situation to the south of us, and if I shared everything that made me say "WTF" I'd get nothing else done -- but this one bubbled to the top for me today and had to be posted.

What the actual fuck. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

The world is ridiculous; therefore, I present you a wee yarn pumpkin I learned to hand-knit earlier today from a random YouTube video while I avoided thinking about it for a few moments.

Making cute shit is delightful. 🫠 That is all.

We’re so busy asking poorly trained artificial intelligence systems for new ideas when we could be looking for solutions in the thoughtful, creative, and skilled experience of our ancestors.

Care for the land and it will care for us. Amazing story!

Fox News trying very, VERY hard to get Americans to hate Canada.

"If Carney’s vision for global finance were to become a reality, the U.S. economy could enter a massive recession...His victory in Canada should alarm every American who values liberty, sovereignty and economic freedom."

Such BS! 😠

🌱 The absolute delight when you find an abandoned pot (from an assumed to be failed growing attempt last year) that decided to up and sprout horseradish after being completely neglected since the snow melted. πŸ’•

Life finds a way. 🌱 Hello new friends! Time to plant you up!

What do you think the specific deal with them is??? It’ll come out in the legal documents some day, I’m sure.

What do you do when you don’t know what to do about a single force just fucking up everything?

This is a lot, right? All of it?

Just - oof. There’s a part of me that now understands why people β€œturned it off” in the past.

We can’t repeat that. Where are we directing our resources and attention?

At what point does the everyday American decide this is so completely offside and does -something-? This is terrifying!

We (collective non-MAGA and non-US folks with an ounce of sanity) have been aghast for months.

I have no idea how I, as a 🍁, can help... This is not OK. 😒

Went to the range to shoot my mossberg 12ga for the first time and my shoulder knows about it today! Ooof. :)

The new Vortex Diamondback scope on the SBI 22LR is SO FREAKING FUN for accuracy practice too. Pew Pew.

Can't wait to get a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt action. 😎

Interested? AMA! #CanadianShooter
