I cannot be trusted with Nerds Gummy Clusters. I bought two bags to use as fuel on runs and I ate 95% while not running.

When people tell me our Conservative Party isn’t THAT bad, so remind them of this and the fact that it’s led by a person who openly denies the existence of racism.
Poilievre and CPC have intentionally chosen the slogan of the white supremacist and official terrorist group The Proud Boys as their own.

When someone shows you who they are believe them.

“(insert nation) First” is also the slogan of:
Patriot Front
Na*i Germany
KKK c.1920s
Trump

It’s no accident.

Wrapped with ski lessons and can’t believe I made it confidently down blue runs today!! And to think, I almost went home after my first lesson because I was terrified of getting injured again. Sometimes, working through fear means just showing up each and every time.

Being sick with a cold means that I’ve gotten creative with soups. I tried making a pho broth from scratch and it turned out preeeeetttty good.

I enjoyed this read on detoxifying from apps like Instagram and replacing them with “companion” apps.

My year of rest and Twitter detoxification
What makes a “good” app, anyway?

🎯 One of my financial goals is to increase my Emergency Fund to cover 6 months of critical expenses.

For me, it's important because I work on contract. Towards the end of my contract, I always have a little anxiety around job security, so this goal aims to help relieve some of that.

👋🏽 I’m a little late to the party, but excited to be up in the sky!

👀 I’m interested in social impact, sustainability, and fixing corporations.

🏊🏽‍♀️ I’m training for my first 70.3 Ironman race this spring. It’s about 95% of my personality rn.

🐶 The other 5% of my personality revolves around pup.
