Earlier today, I was thinking about creating more happiness for myself, when I came across this on BlueSky. It’s brilliant! We really can create happiness for ourselves. Doesn’t have to be a big thing. Admire some 🌺; soak in a 🛁; enjoy a yummy 🍮. Anything that adds a drop of happiness to your jar. 🫙

It’s time to face facts, Alberta.
If you have ever looked south and thought “whew, I’m glad that’s not us,” think again.
Our gov’t has stomped on Trans rights, banned books, attacked the judiciary and the press, taken away the right to strike, and blames immigrants at every turn.

They open each legislative session with a Christian prayer, hate renewable energy, love private healthcare and filling the pockets of their cronies. Sound familiar?
Authoritarianism is in the legislature, backed by racism, the religious right and greed.

I’ll be blunt: If you’re not politically engaged beyond what you do on social media, you’re not doing enough to change the course of history in your province.
Vote. Protest. Donate. Door-knock. Write. Engage in good trouble. Because there’s a bleak future for Alberta unless you act.

Ford 'doesn't know what he's talking about' when it comes to basket weaving, Indigenous artist says | CBC News
A third-generation Indigenous basket maker is setting the record straight about his craft — it's a part of his culture, it's valuable, and artists can make a living off of it.

Fascinating chart with one outlier: Warren Buffett.
At the low end, giving 0.06% of one's wealth is equivalent to:
Net worth -> Lifetime Giving
50K->$30
100K->$60
500K->$300
$1M->$600
Most folks give far more by % in a *single year*.

Articles like this drive me fucking nuts, because how can you post a stat like "50% of Canadian women say they don't want kids" and state that they would if Canada became a place that "reveres motherhood," but never once consider they just...don't want to?

Taking an anti-vaccination stances against a treatment that saves the life of ONE IN FIVE HUNDRED KIDS and has no verified deaths involving healthy recipients is not just anti-science and anti-logic, it's evil. I have studied this disease too extensively to soften that word.
It's just evil.
