When we vote, I think. Then we give Carney the mandate to go #GlovesOff!

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

Oh I feel that!!! I even tried not consuming any form of media, but then my dang nervous system decided to catastrophize and made things even worse.

This is not at all helpful.

We made the trek the from outside the city all the time when I was a teenager. The Montreal bagel place was to die for.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election.

She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

The absolute peak of pet ownership!!

I designed a whole house to match my German Shepherds’ fur (I even matched the grout in the mudroom to the dirt outside because 🐾🐾🐾😂)

Photo of small yellow ball python curled up with his head peeking out, sitting in the palm of a hand.

It’s a perfect and looks like my Leo!!

Photo of a river, with snow on the he banks, and the sun shining brightly through light clouds.

So much is terrible, so I’m spending a few hours with the river and birds to reset my soul.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed. That word is "Nazi." Nobody cares about their motives anymore. They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?” A. R. Moxon

Screen shot of a tweet showing X-rays of a leg and a traumatically amputated foot to the right of it. Poster asked AI search engine to evaluate the X-ray and its response was: “What does this xray indicate? Answer This X-ray image appears to show a lateral view of a right leg and foot. Here are some observations: 1. Bone Structure: The bones of the lower leg (tibia and fibula) and the foot (metatarsals, phalanges) are visible. 2. Alignment: The alignment of the bones seems relatively normal, but there might be some subtle abnormalities which could be indicative of a fracture or other bone-related issues.”

My new AI doctor told me I might have a fracture…

Good morning Lois!

I always liked this explanation

Ooh. Yup 🤦🏻‍♀️

I had a pastor spend 15 minutes on how “Jordan Peterson says he isn’t a Christian, but he says a lot of good things like this that align with Christianity that we should listen to.” 😱

I also don’t go there anymore.

We may have the same family members 🤢.

Me: what about the racist/fascist stuff?

Them: I’ve never heard him say anything remotely bad 🤷🏻‍♀️

Me: … 🫥

Domestic violence has been on the rise in Alberta. Julia is right, lives of women and children are in danger. And access to housing as a support is key. All levels of government play a role in providing solutions in addition to provincial funding requirements. acws.ca/wp-content/u...

I was watching a show recently and the actress was so expressive to the point I noticed how much it informed the context of what she was saying. It took forever to realize it was simply because she could move her eyebrows and forehead! The near universal use of Botox these days mutes so much.

When I'm on the treadmill, my only goal is to not die.

If you have someone nearby that can help, it was a really big deal to my kids that they buy me a present too, that I had nothing to do with, so my parents started taking them shopping.

My ex used to give me pictures of extravagant gifts that he was going to get me (but never did.)

I felt much better about treating myself after, when I realized how important it was to my kids that I have presents under the tree.

I switched my dog from raw to kibble the minute that H5N1 was found in cows. I felt the risk is significant, especially since it requires organ meat. It hasn’t been detected in cows here yet, but it will be, and I don’t have great faith that info won’t be suppressed.

Being the “cycle breaker” is the hardest thing anyone can do. Being someone who inspires cycle breakers is world changing. You are changing the world through both your students and your willingness to open yourself to the world and show people it can be done even when it is beyond hard.

Definitely! You should also have a special journal where you transcribe them all! Engrave them into your soul and a beautiful book, and revisit them when things are hard. It is an accomplishment that will very literally erase trauma for generations to come, and make the world a vastly better place❤️

Thanks for the reminder - it gave me great pleasure to remind my sister that I was reminded we were playing The Game 😂. She will hate me for at least a day.

Thinking of you all ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear ❤️. It’s a difficult road, but the resulting peace is life giving. Prayers to you and your littles.

Absolutely! When my German Shepherd was 17 months old, she discovered free will 😂. It’s super fun 🤦🏻‍♀️. I had to go back and do a bunch of training that we had mastered, because she had to learn that the reward of doing the thing was even more awesome when she *chose* to do it, but they grow out of it!

The suffering is absolutely the point. They will pay more if it means the people they don’t like suffer and die.

This video says it far better than I can.
