Food for thought:
Artificial inflation → financial strain on consumers → reactive political behaviour → policies that benefit the companies driving the inflation.
Round and round it goes.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

My eyes opened, the drowsy comfort of rest lifting like fog in the sunrise. It was perfectly soft and warm beneath the covers. I was lying on my back, which is unusual to my side sleeping preference. The morning light lit the room softly from the west-facing window as I lifted my head to look around the room. I wasn’t expecting anything different that day. I was home alone.
But that diamondback rattlesnake on my legs?
My stomach dropped. No. Not normal at all. I'm far out of its native range, first of all. Second, why was it moving toward my face?
I need to move, I told myself. Do something. Anything other than lying still like an idiot. Even as I commanded my limbs to move, realization struck: I could not move. My body was not listening to me.
My heart thundered, pounding against my ribs. Was this the end?
The diamondback was so close now. I could see the details in its irises as its mouth opened wide, fangs bared--
I woke with a start, pulse hammering, drenched in sweat. At last, my body could move! I ran my hands up and down my face and neck. No bites. Where was the snake?
It was nowhere to be found.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ju7xopwz3c6qbl5gsibpruwu/bafkreid3lagetdjbju7iug2x4j5bjt2znc6dngbrfqrkl6jczefxxzqiwi@jpeg)

A minute of peace from my paddle on Lake Winnipeg this morning. It was nice to get up before my neighbours and enjoy the lake before it got wavy. I hope you find it as soothing as I do.

Indoor farming helps community members bring healthy food to northern Manitoba
Food shipped from the south is prohibitively expensive and is often stale, and the climate and soil in the region don’t support much traditional outdoor farming.

Just an FYI, if someone tells you they're disabled and they don't look like they are... the chances of them lying about it are way smaller than the chances of you just not understanding how hidden disabilities work. Hope that helps.

I'm going to tell you something the government won't (and I can't believe I'm the one saying this): coronavirus damages the placenta. Women who are infected experience double the baseline rate of stillbirths.

People are being fired for wearing a mask to work. This is horrible and against public health. We need to pass laws that explicitly protect the right to mask.

I’m not positive, but the reading of 37.8C (100F) in Emerson today (May 11) may be the earliest 100F on record in Canada. I’ll have to check more data to verify.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.
“Only very sick kids should die from measles.”
No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.
Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
