If you think it's annoying to hear about how chronic illness symptoms impacts people, imagine feeling it everyday. Infinitely more annoying.

Silhouetted cypress rise from the lake at sunrise. There is space between the trees, allowing for a view of much of the sky - a sky that glows with soft purple, gray, and orange hues as the first light breaks the horizon and is mirrored on the water's surface.

To greet the morning

BREAKING: Canadians are being warned to be “extra vigilant” against deliberate disinformation efforts & campaigns during the last few weeks of the Canadian Federal Election.

Disinformation has become a constant thing, but a significant ramp-up is expected as we approach the Debates later this week.

In maybe the Most Canadian story ever, two political parties (the NDP and Bloc Québécois) are asking that tomorrow's French language election debate be postponed because it conflicts with a Montreal Canadiens game.

Photo of a red highland cow standing under a snow covered outdoor pen that is heavily strewn with hay.

Someday we're hoping to get a slow motion video of Babs with her hair blowing back in the wind like an 80s music video.

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse

Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods.
The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs.
Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know.
Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I guess my point is that there is a vast gulf between someone saying

1) I wanted Trump to hurt other groups but he also harmed my own group

2) I now pay more for medicine and I don’t know how I’m going to make ends meet

One requires a follow up question, the other requires basic fuckin empathy
