I tried to watch The Last of Us, but I couldn't even get through a third of the first episode without my anxiety spiking so hard I had to give up. It's a shame, because it looks so good.

Trump: Do as I say.
Canada: No.
Trump: Do as I say or I'll shoot myself in the foot!
Canada: Still no.
Trump: *bang* Look what you made me do! Now, are you going to do as I say?
Canada: No sir.
Trump: *bang* My pain is your fault! Do as I say or... *looks at Vance*
Canada: Oh, this should be good.

By Emily Dickinson

That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

Reports indicate that a Christian church allegedly harassed a Wiccan vendor, sparking community backlash in support of both the vendor and the market. The church now frames this response as an act of Christian persecution. #paganism #witchcraft #witchsky #wiccan

The Gulf of Mexico is the name given by its first colonizers, the Spanish and then the Europeans.

But ancient Indigenous Mayan civilization named it Chactemal, meaning "the red place."

So let's reject colonial rule and go back to it's original Mayan name.

MAKE THE GULF CHACTEMAL AGAIN!

Killed my Amazon Prime and my Disney+ subscriptions. I know it's a drop in the bucket of resistance to American threats, but it's what I can do.

I hope that something gets resolved before the end of March. I would hate to cancel my trip to Tucson because it's too dangerous for Canadians to travel.

When Canada decides to stop providing electricity to the Americans, I decree that the lights be turned off during the Super Bowl.

The secret to biting comedy is timing.

Doesn't anyone remember when Trump repealed train regulations, which contributed to the derailment in East Palestine, Ohio? I can't be the only one who sees a pattern with the aerial collision in Washington.

For the first time since I've been diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes, I tested my blood sugars at 5.5. Normally, I've been testing at between 6 and 10. Feels great!

I'm still trying to get used to this denture. I sound like I'm an old man who should be mining for gold in Dawson city.

I`m sure at some point, there will be an American who is recorded shouting "You can't do this to me! I voted for Trump! This isn't fair! Trump said he wouldn't do this to me! I voted for him!"

I'll start the clock now.

Today is a day I've been dreading. I'm going to see the dentist to have more teeth pulled, then getting my first denture.

I'm going to get emotional. Hopefully I'll be able to keep it together until I get home, but I might lose it in the metro.

Herne, give me strength.

If Trump decides to withhold funding from California to deal with the wildfires, this might be an excellent time for Canada to offer their aid in exchange for California's succession from the US and become the 11th province.

Just sayin'.
