It’s such a weird contradiction my extremely catholic family, who are extreme conservatives. If you ignore what they say, and just look at their actions. Housing refugees and migrant workers. Caring for the ill. Voluntarily paying reparations. Acts of service
They are good people, one on one.

I am the black sheep, the heathen, the lone liberal relative who lives in the city. No! the big one! 😱
I am the right’s version of the crazy auntie (who looks horrified at the gay jokes)
But I forgot to let my (unbaptized) kids know what grace is. oh the glares of disapproval.
Send strength.

Well the kids were horrified at the “silent and submissive wife” reading at the wedding but no one burst into flames so… yeah.
Onto the “how come your kids aren’t baptized” stage of the family gathering.

Ok *warming up* my conservative family doesn’t define me. Their beliefs are not attacking me. They are simply from a misguided insular community that has been bullied so doubled down in their ways. I’m lucky to have gotten out. I can be there for the kids if they chose to too.
Right. Here I go.

I mean, given that there is NOTHING TO DO. Aimlessly riding free transit sounds like a plan ;)
Happy New Year, Vancouver!
Get home safe tonight and use the free transit. It is a bit of common sense that makes our city work better for everyone.
Here’s to a great 2026 with many changes in store!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but a 3% vacancy rate in Vancouver means that every rental takes 1 month to rent out?
…it doesn’t feel like that’s high enough to really impact rental prices.

FYI my daughter hand drew a diagram for her computer science project. It didn’t even occur to her that AI could do it for her.
It isn’t perfect but the learning was WAY more.
You can practically hear the neurons growing.

I’m heading to children’s hospital with my daughter for the only support for needle phobia VCH offers. An appointment in a room where nothing happens, a desensitization experience.
My kid needs a blood test, vaccines and eventual surgery. This is all that is offered to help get us there.

It’s 1C outside.
I think it’s time to close the windows.
Kids wrapped in sweaters and blankets: nooooo fresh air booo.

Got a new microwave. Was super frustrated. Was complaining to my dad. To which he says:
defrost-timer-popcorn. You’re welcome.
Apparently THAT is the secret password that inducts you into adulthood.
