None of Smith's referendum questions are likely to result in actual policy change.
Because they require constitutional amendments (federal veto) or are plainly unconstitutional.
Assuming "yes" votes carry, what then?
Kenney's equalization referendum didn't soothe separatists. It emboldened them.

Someone is reading The Ladies Occult Society. 🥳
@kristadb1.bsky.social I have just gotten to the line "Of course I can drink tea. What am I? French?" Thank you so so much for the laugh after a long day.

Truly one of my favourite songs.
“Losing My Religion”was released 35 years ago today. The lead single from Out Of Time earned multiple GRAMMY Awards, topped charts worldwide, and helped redefine what alternative rock could sound like on mainstream radio.

I'm all caught up on @craigschaeferbooks.com Daniel Faust series! It's *so* fantastic. It's been forever since I've read a proper urban fantasy with questionable morals. A fantastic cast who is often completely unhinged, heart pumping adventure, endless heists...
Loved it.

My doctor's NP called to see if she could handle the appointment (me and my dr's schedules weren't agreeing at all)
Me: I hate this med, but I want to go back on it. I want the dose meant for toddlers.
Her: I can give you the adult dose.
Me: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES.

I'm looking for a new dry shampoo that is not my absolute favourite Bumble and Bumble spray because it's now seventy fucking dollars and I'd rather be greasy.
I don't like Moroccan oil dry shampoo.
Sephora or Shoppers Drug Mart is my preferred place to buy it.
SEVENTY DOLLARS 😭
