This type of thing is why I’m finally deciding to join the DAR. I know it’s non-partisan but my ancestors didn’t fight for a future return to autocracy. They fought for the right to a democratic society and for a constitution that today continues to be violated by the current person in power.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

I voted. This year was tough! I usually vote during the advanced voting period, but I legit needed more time to research every candidate this year. Even debated it over lunch at work today. Settled on a good list of progressive candidates. Maybe threw in a chaos vote for entertainment purposes…

I am using speech to text for this. I have an AC tear and am in a sling for the next little bit. Just wondering if anybody has any tips/ tricks for things like opening cans of cat food, or getting dressed, or basically functioning without the use of my dominant hand/arm lol I’m already struggling.

Oilers felt they disrespected Campbell trophy by leaving it on the ice last year.
Draisaitl bringing it to the locker room was right thing to do.

It is the May 2-4 long weekend, and it is the official start to gardening season. Hurray!
As a former garden centre employee, I would like to remind everyone that garden centre employees don’t get paid enough to put up with your shit. Be kind to these overworked, underpaid folks.

I’m really hoping that a Canadian team brings home the cup, especially the Oilers, but let me just say the #DallasStars are one hell of a team. Absolute class act. Last year with donations to the Ben Stelter Foundation, and this year 55 for 55. Gutted for the Jets, but not a bad team to lose to.

Eddy has been such a brave boy the past few days. He’s been taking all of his antibiotics with half of a churu treat. Big brother Mo has been making sure he’s taken care of.

I never thought I’d be cheering for the Leafs, but I HATE the panthers so so so so so so so so SOOOOOOOOOOOO much after last year.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CALL ON THE GLOVE COVERED GOAL.

Eddy ended up needing 3 teeth removed (thank goodness for X-rays!) and Mo was a good boy for his cleaning. Both boys are still a little high but happy to be home.
Thank you to Dr. Kate, Melissa, Ava, and Kaelee (and the entire team) for the care they showed my boys today 🥰

If you don't want people to think you killed the pope, then simply do not meet with the pope hours before his death.

My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month.
It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.

I have a somewhat controversial opinion. It’s OK to not have ADHD. I have two friends who were genuinely angry when their formal assessments indicated that they did not have ADHD. As someone with ADHD and a learning disability, I sometimes struggle to understand why somebody would want these labels.

I took my sweet boys to Zen Cat Clinic a couple of weeks ago for a check up and vaccinations. They did so good! Mozart (tabby) had to get some tests done since he’ll be a senior on April 30. Taking them both back for dentals (Eddy needs a tooth out) at the beginning of May!
