Wait a minute...

While nonchalantly reading through Bill 14, I came across a section of the changes that seems to be uh, non-binary inclusive?? Getting rid of those pesky pronouns, eh?

#abpoli #ableg #UCP #alberta #bill14
Page 9, Section (g) of the UCP's Bill 14, where the use of "his or her" is struck out and replaced with "the proponent's" (twice used here)

Got my vax notification. So many feelings about this:
* Will I have to pay? (probably - I'm not "eligible for free")
* I'd like to "Reply STOP to opt-out" from ALL UCP messages
* I'd also like to "Report UCP Junk" to a higher authority

Only one outlet names the perpetrator. To be fair though, 3 outlets mention the current threats.
Collage of 5 news outlets reporting on the 80th anniversary of the US dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima: CBC: "Hiroshima 80th anniversary commemorated amid worries of renewed nuclear threats" BBC: "Hiroshima: Ceremony marks 80th anniversary of atomic bombing" CNN: "World marks 80 years since US dropped atomic bomb on Japan as global powers stil..." The Guardian: "Hiroshima anniversary: mayor says Ukraine and Middle East crises show world ignoring..." ABC News: "Japan marks 80th anniversary of atomic bombing in Hiroshima" Only one outlet named the perpetrator responsible for the bombing (CNN). Three write about the nuclear threat in the present (CBC, CNN, The Guardian).

What the heck, Google?

Got an email today telling me they’re changing the country and state I live in for my Gmail account. Uh, no, I do not live in Washington. WTH?

I guess we can’t or shouldn’t use google maps anymore. Nope, it’s definitely not a state park.
#googleMaps #notAState
Screenshot of google maps showing Peter Lougheed provincial park. Under the 4.8 star rating are the words “State park” when it is in fact not a state park but a Provincial park.

I have a design dilemma (not really, just curious). I present to you, the great date debate: when there's not enough real estate in your design for another row of calendar dates, what's the best way to add the overlapping/shared space dates? Break your design? Absolutely not!
#design #calendar
Two images of the same month calendar, except for at the bottom left corner of each where the 24th and 31st are arranged slightly differently to share the same space, with two green arrows pointing to those areas, one with an A, the other with a B. The question posed by this image is: "When there's not enough real estate for another row of dates... Is there a rule??? Is it aesthetic? Personal preference? Is a separating line required? SO MANY QUESTIONS! To maintain as minimalist a layout as possible - what do you prefer with the doubled-up dates, A or B?"

Much to my surprise (and delight), 2 house finches hung out at my Blue jay feeder today. Here's a little slo-mo clip of the couple.

What’s the possibility of this happening twice!?! We followed the same rules as last time (no peg out on his nibs or a go).

PS: the younger won again! 😎
#cribbage
A cribbage board with red and blue pegs - one of each in the stink holes The red peg is in the finish hole of the crib board. The winning hand was 15 for 2 points - 2 + 7 + 6. A 7 of clubs is turned up.

More experimenting with UV resin. This was really challenging for me! It’s not perfect but what it symbolizes is 🇵🇸❤️
A small pendant in the shape of the Palestinian flag. Black, white and green stripes with a red triangle at one end.

Playing around with UV resin. First time trying to embed (successfully!) one piece in another. Oh, and placing those teeny tiny stars was… challenging!
#resin
In my hand are 4 small pendants made with UV resin. All have black backgrounds. Two are gold moons, one a gold star, one a white snowflake. The star pendant close up and side view. The black layer on the back, clear in front.

Results: we opted for the rules that you can’t peg out on his nibs (Jack) or a Go. I turned a Jack! 🤦🏼‍♀️ But then I won on 2pts for a pair 🏆 (the youngest won after all!).
