I like books, music, films, food, golf and travel.

Some of 12 cubs that I saw under a tree in Tanzania, Sept. 25, 2025. Other pic is me in a desert in Peru with the sun setting.

Updated my profile.

I don't want more followers who post only about Trump.

I care, but there is so much more. I need interesting posts, funny posts, slice-of-life posts.

There is something that needs to be put out of its misery, love, and it’s not the BBC…

Well, yeah...
There is no reason to go to the US. There are so many civilized destinations, where one can feel safe, welcome, and know that they are not supporting a vile government.

Canadian boycott of US travel shows no sign of slowing
October marked the 10th month of decreased Canadian travel to the US, with many staying away over political and trade tensions.

Why is there a "Show less like this" option on Bluesky?

If I do that 40 times I should notice a difference.

Polar bears are solitary for the most part. Usually, the only time you see cuddling is with mom and cubs. However, this is two males. I've noticed that some males will hang out together while waiting for the ice and this will be a precursor to a sparring bout. #mammals 🌿

Instant winter. Two days of snow. And it's only just begun.
My maple has barely dropped leaves this year.
That much snow on my car. I went out in running shoes, not expecting this.

I strongly dislike digital art, that anime look. I blocked dozens of accounts months ago and it has been better since.
But today so many more. I must have blocked another 20. Why now?

A LOT more snow this morning. 10-15 cm I would guess.
The Thames River (Canada) is behind those trees and bushes.

Husband: You are negative.

Me: And you are a stubborn, arrogant, only care about yourself, insensitive and you only care about yourself.

My husband: I’m just telling you that your Covid test is negative.

Me: 👀😱

While Elon Musk is crashing satellites all over the place and flogging blow-up cars, some people are actually creating something useful...
An inventor by the name of Zac Clark designed a rugged #solar-powered backpack (the #MakeshiftTraveler) that not only charges phones via its battery and solar panel, but also unfolds into a sleeping system with a tent, rain poncho, flashlight and hygiene kit for people experiencing #homelessness 😊🎒☀️
Man invents solar-powered backpack that turns into a bed and a generator for homeless people
And thousands have already been donated to people in need.

On my way to the shops this morning, I spotted an albino Dalmatian.
Tbh, it was the least I could do for him…

Voilà, the cons we’re made to tolerate.

#Scheer, an equal dullard to #PP, was sent for damage control & deflected the chaos’ blame on the Liberals. 🤥 Thou doth protest too much methinks, Milkman.

Are the rumours true re: PP standing down from “leadership” on Mon.? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ll make the 🍿

Slept with my Velvet Underground tee shirt and woke up with a banana.
And I don't even like bananas! 😭😂
Slept in my Sex Pistols tee shirt and woke up in the Queens Fascist Regime. 🤣
Slept in my Dead Kennedys tee shirt but the Nazi punks still haven’t fucked off.

Most of today’s news is upsetting so a bit of the hilarious, even if it’s embedded in a solemn story, is such a welcome reprieve for our ever at risk blood pressure.
