Me in summer: I hate crafts. I hate hobbies. Sun on my sunscreened face only.
Me settling into a Canadian winter: ok I have three repair projects set up, I am going to knit a scarf, a blanket, and a hat. I'm going to re-teach myself how to hand sew the scrap blankets of my people.
Yes. Hand sew.

I grew up with a cast iron wood stove in the kitchen that heated our entire house. Two stories, and an unfinished basement. I remember when the government grant allowed us to get a wood + oil furnace installed.
I also remember not always having a fridge.

It is genuinely hard for most people to grasp how poor the past was.

The restaurant where I order my poke bowl changed their ingredients and upped the price. So I get less fresh food, more ultra processed crap, AND I have to pay more for that 🙄
So fine, I bought everything I need to make them now because fuck that shit
Like $25 for a rice bowl like come on

After much consideration, I've decided to transition into a though leadership influencer.
I'm not sure what that actually is, but it has big "I never work past noon" vibes.

I went to a Somali restaurant here once and there weren’t any menus anywhere so I asked the guy at the counter what they had and he paused for a minute and said very matter of factly “Somali food”

Thanks trucker convoy, anti-vaccine youtube channels, thanks Facebook for not allowing legitimate news sources to be accessed by Canadians so that grifters could spread, and all of the prepper weirdos who thought the end times would be them against the world as opposed to caring about others.
It's official: Canada has lost its measles elimination status because of an outbreak that has persisted for more than 12 months. Country can regain status only if on-going spread is of measles interrupted for more than a year. www.cbc.ca/news/health/... via @cbcnews.ca
