Pierre Poilievre’s by-election campaign slogan: Cowboy Boots, Not Suits
The Simpsons’ character Milhouse, dressed as a cowboy, kneeling on one knee. Made into a meme by adding the text: “COWBOY BOOTS, NOT SUITS.”

Regular Ruffles chips (with spinach dip) and Brisk iced tea.

One bag of chips, one drink. What are you choosing?

Just finished marking my ballot with a pencil in Saskatoon-University. Thanks to the polling stn staff and vols, it was easy peasy lemon squeezy and I was in and out in 5 min. A bit disappointed I didn’t get an “I voted” sticker, but if a non-PP gov is elected, it’ll make up for it a hundredfold.

Happy election day to those who celebrate! Make good choices, Canadians, or you shall incur the silent judgement and/or suffer the wrath of my perpetually pissed off bunny.

The crocuses are croaking at Crocus Prairie in beautiful Saskatoon.

Backlit by the setting sun, a single lilac-purple crocus in the foreground on the right. And in the background on the left, a cluster of lavender-blue crocus flowers, nestled in the grass.

Same energy
Pierre Poilievre is wearing an unbuttoned navy blazer and a white, button-down shirt. His hands are on his hips, his chest puffed up, and is leaning forward as though he’s attempting to assert dominance. He has a smug, toothy grin, and is feigning interest in the woman standing in front of him. The woman is wearing an orange safety vest and a yellow hard hat and is speaking to Poilievre. I used a meme generator to mimic Starknessmonster’s “Never shut their mouth” meme from Reddit. The image is overlayed with the following text: Poilievre: Women are so hard to read Woman: Well actually we just wan- Poilievre: Such complex creatures Woman: If you just liste- Poilievre: So mysterious “Never shut their mouth” original meme by Starknessmonster via Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/trippinthroughtime/comments/66344o/never_shut_their_mouth/

Please accept this humble Sunday bunday offering of my bunny grudgingly wearing a straw hat.
My small, black, tan, and white bunny rabbit is wearing an edible straw hat. She has a murderous glare and is sitting like a broody hen on a striped carpet. I will surely pay for this later.

Absolutely. 💯 I’m partial to the extra-yellow popcorn. 🍿

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

I just picked up the lucky bamboo set, too, and the mini orchid as well!

I found the donor info via OpenSecrets’ donor lookup and unfortunately, it’s true. I knew they’re a U.S. company with production facilities in Canada and the U.S., but I also didn’t know the Aanenson family donated to Trump. So disappointing!

Blackstrap Provincial Park, Saskatchewan in March 2024. Waking up to this serene winterscape at Blackstrap Glamping Resort was the most peaceful I had felt in quite a while. Trying to recapture that feeling — especially today!

One of the best feelings and greatest compliments is when your furry prey animal feels safe enough to fall fast asleep, snuggled up beside you. 🥹💜

Following a heavy snowfall, what do you do on a day like today, when you don’t have a driveway to shovel out, you ask? You build a LEGO set, of course!
