Why can't we nice things?
Text above images of Brisk ice tea reads: No wonder my mouth is tingly and I've got a headache. William got a zero sugar one, and I got this one. Tasted weird, got about 1/3 drank before I just couldn't. Finally had a minute to look at the ingredients. Why in the hell do they add 2 fake sweeteners?! I have about 1 "soft drink" a month, I think I should just quit trying lol

Someone want to tell him that's not how to lead in a free democracy?

Oh wait, he's turning the US into a fascist dictatorship. My bad.

It's devastating to watch this happen in real time.

Where's the files?

1/ I made the mistake of going down a rabbit hole. It's started on Reddit with a post about @wyden.senate.gov calling out the Epstein money trail. Which somehow led to Facebook. Which led to the comment in this image.
A Facebook post complaining about Oregon Senator Wyden helping a pregnant woman apply for asylum, twisting it so that it sounds like people in the country illegally are the reason Americans don't have universal health Care, instead of the fact they're too stupid to vote in the people who could make it happen.

I'm so tired I just screenshot my FB post and copied the text for the alt instead of trying to shorten it for Bluesky 🥱

Morning of day 3! I managed 5 hours sleep (2 hours then 3) but still feel like my brain is in a blender. Storm wouldn't eat or drink anything most of yesterday, and I couldn't give her pills until she did, so I threw a giant frozen turkey breast in the instant pot, completely unseasoned. Watered down the broth it made and she drank that just fine. And she devoured the meat. Then she drank regular water for like 5 minutes straight last night. Also took off the fentanyl patch. She's feeling much better this morning. Our husky Storm, resting in her crate on day 3 post-tplo surgery. She has an ive pack on the surgery leg.

Oof, it's been a rough 24 hours. Storm has been crying/whining all day and I got about 2 hours 😴 taking care of her. She's finally starting to doze more so I'll be setting up a nest next to the crate tonight and hope for a little more 💤 #husky #dogsofbluesky #dog #surgery #alberta #canada

My girl Storm had TPLO surgery today and now has a plucked chicken leg and temporary rat tail, and is super f'ed up on anesthesia and fentanyl.

My girl, Storm, needs TPLO surgery, she tore her CCL and her knee wobbles like mine did with the complete MCL repair. Probably be in 2-3 weeks to let inflammation go down, assuming we can afford it 🤦🏽‍♀️

I ordered a cold therapy machine for my knee and it came today, only 2 days from BC (I love that UPS will deliver to our very rural farm, it didn't used to be that way!) and I am In Love. So much more coverage and consistent cold than an ice pack. Can't wait to be healed!

Well that sucked. It just fell, no cats involved. I'd been planning on propagating it to clean up the mess it had become, so I guess it threw itself on the floor to make it happen faster 🤷‍♀️

I thought I'd killed the tomatoes and cabbage by using too much fertilizer (first time trying it) but a few thorough flushes and they're mostly happy again. The cats have decided that celery is the next best thing to catnip and will not leave it alone 😂 #vegetablegarden #gardening #gardening #zone3

I don't post much anymore because 90% of my time is spent dealing with stuff like this 😂

Alberta politics are some of the stupidest on the planet but Alberta skies are some of the best. It's a mixed bag to live here if you don't drink kool-aid.

Tried a new cinnamon roll recipe. Absolutely love the ridiculously soft dough and overall flavour, but the next batch will get about 50% less sugar. Instant headache and likely 3 cavities lol

Today's growth photo update. The onions (with fresh haircut) are getting nice thick stalks, I think they might just make it to the ground this year. Need to remember to water more often though lol!

The dogs love the return of winter, but no one is happier than myself, not needing to clean mud off everything.

Canadian natives get, sadly, far more respect than US natives. No one would benefit from Canada losing its sovereignty, but ma y would suffer greatly for it.

It's a good thing Roscoe is freakin' adorable and generally well behaved, because my baseboards are taking a beating 🦈

Once he's done teething/training, we'll do some repairs 😂
