A very tired environmental scientist that probably should have done something artsy. I love reading, fibre arts (crochet, tunisian crochet, knitting), painting, collecting art, all that good stuff.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.
This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

Friday night reading. How can I love art so much while despising writing about art so much? Maybe Magritte would approve since my shoddy understanding is that he wanted to fight against the traditional view of words being above images?

Are my fellow Canadians also feeling oddly patriotic for it being Independence Day? I love ya Canada. Yeah you are messed up and have some serious baggage but at least I have hope we are heading in the right direction. Most of the time? Dark times.

Canada has a tough choice to make today. We have to vote between our current prime minister who is well respected and already helping our country through a very difficult period -or- a weirdly damp guy who wants to take away our rights and sell our country to another country.

What a freakin' relief! Thanks to all the Canadians that made sure the CPC didn't win. I could kiss every one of you that voted for Fanjoy!

Losing a parent is horrendous! Shouldn't I be too old to feel this helpless? I suppose I am a perfectly acceptable age for a nervous breakdown. Is there a proper way to go about that? Yelp! #Fuckcancer

Everyone here is posting facts and using logic to explain why Pierre Polievre is awful and extremely dangerous but is anyone else terrified that all the facts and logic just won't matter? I'm not sure anyone is listening. Are we as different from Americans as we would like to think? #politics #CPC

I have been pleasantly surprised how relatively easy it has been to boycott all things US. I am fortunate enough to be able to spend more if need be but the price difference hasn't even been that bad. Let's increase our independence from these monsters! #Canada #Canadastrong #tariffs

It's safe to say, they (CPC), hate the Liberals and Trudeau, MORE than they love Canada.
Plane and simple. Just look at their comments.
They take more joy on hating, than loving Canada.
That's just sad. Pathetic really.

It doesn’t matter what Pierre Poilievre says today.
He accepted endorsements from Trump and Musk, and they are the two main reasons for this trade war.
