This is my second batch of chocolate stirrers. Dark chocolate. Never done them before. Most are gifts. The white chocolate stirrers were my first attempt. As with all Christmas baking/making, made with love and Christmas music blaring.

My friends make me laugh out loud. Just retold this story. A company failed to deliver by their deadline. Told my colleague no refund. I emailed the company starting “my colleague is nicer than I am, so I’m emailing now.” Told my friend this. She now starts every message to me with that 🤣🤣

Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Recently at a work lunch. A 20-something student was with us. They showed up 20-min late. Never said please/thanks. On their cell all the time. I mean all the time. It was a chance to network. I even asked them anything interesting on your cell. They still didn’t get the hint

Masks on. Infections down. Masks off. Infections up. Masks on. Infections down. Masks off. Infections… If I didn’t know any better, I would swear there was a pattern here. #maskingsaveslives #masksinhealthcare #commonsenseinhealthcare #HAIs #donoharm #stopthespread #normalizingsickness

I'm going to harp on this a bit longer -- in order to do an end-run around Tamara Lich's home confinement sentencing which permits her to go to "work," Rebel News' Ezra Levant simply invented a position for Lich whose job description is that she travel anywhere and continue encouraging lawbreaking.

So happy my girl @supriya.bsky.social is out here opinionating again: "When Canada walks away from feminist policy, it abandons a key driver of poverty and strife. And when Canada appears to bow to bro-signalling ... it has joined the league of polite misogyny." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Imagine if the PM had just taken time to meet with Coastal chiefs *before* signing the MOU with Smith…

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls." time.com/7335723/auto...

So Trump wants a divorce??

Can someone please dig into the United Way’s admin costs. In the 90s and 2000s, it was 50%. So 50% of their donations went to admin fees. Donate directly to charities please.

I’ve been waiting for #CrossingJordan to be available in Canada on streaming. Finnnnnaaaaaallllly!!

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

Meanwhile, a new report from Human Rights Watch finds the Israeli government’s forced displacement of 32,000 Palestinians in three West Bank refugee camps in January and February amounts to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

To quote the person who filmed this unconscious mom who was tazed while already in zip ties in front of her small child and then tossed her like a corpse into the trunk: “this is fucked up”

A little gobsmacked. I run a Christmas card exchange group. We were all expats when I started it (2020). Love it. We get amazing funny and grumpy cards for each other. I send about 12 for that group and 8 more for family/friends. 16 international. 4 🇨🇦 Sent mine today. $75!

#Medsky🧪 #IDsky #immunosky #publichealth @cellpress.bsky.social The ability of a virus to infect a cell is partly determined by host factors required for the viral life cycle. However, not every cell of a given type is equally susceptible to infection.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Gaza has become the world's largest mass grave, with over 10,000 bodies estimated to be buried in the rubble. Palestinians are asking for international help to find and identify the remains of their loved ones.

Let’s say a journalist had evidence of rape and sex trafficking of girls and women in emails FOR YEARS, would that not make him a co-conspirator? And should he also not be charged? Asking for a billion people. Release the #Epstein files.

So this Christmas I’m going to try to make Scottish shortbread and my normal 🇨🇦 recipe I love! I’ve never made the thicker Scottish shortbread. I’d like to try the fingers’ style rather than shapes. Anyone have any tips for the perfect shape? Thank you #baking #shortbread

With all the news with AB and its decision to end free covid vaccines for all and having to order your vaccine for next year (deadline passed), it fell under the radar that Quebec also dropped its free covid vaccine. Why? Like spending more on hospitalizations? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

New Yorker article very much worth reading: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

Greeeat already the season I need to watch tv backwards Woman has children and family life. Somehow moves through time to be a successful business woman. Lives happily ever after. Thought I had a few more weeks left before having to hack my streaming services.

I bought a new bed for Griffyn since Violet (the new puppy) seconded her old one. Got home. Put it out for Griffyn. Both fought over it. So back to the store to buy a second one so they can each have their own 🙄 Both happy having their own. This morning ….👇👇👇🙄🤣

In Walmart: Someone behind me: they (Walmart) need to start hiring people who speak English. I’m tired of all this mumbling. Mocking East Asian accent. Me: racist much? The guy: I can’t be racist. I’m not white. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤬

Western media has had a blackout on both Congo & Sudan, & people there have had less access to social media, this is the primary reason why genocides there have not been discussed by Westerners.

I need to sell at least 9 framed pieces to have just what I need for rent. Very nerve racking time! All specials in my feed are valid (just DM to take advantage). Also have this hare painting available at name your own price! ALSO-Get 2 prints & pick out a 3rd on me! www.sol-exposure.com/shop/

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

After Carney touts "buy Canadian" at just about every turn, Canada’s first major “nation-building” investment is going toward a small modular reactor project that depends heavily on US suppliers for key technology and components. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/23/n...

Whhhhhy is my body so weird that I get severe insomnia with anesthesia. Like come on!!

Traitorous piece of sh!t. He isn’t even American and chose to embrace the guy threatening to invade our country and currently ruining his own. Burn the jerseys. Boo him loudly, Vancouver.

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them. This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people .. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/vaccine/s/pr... 1/2

So proud of my city. No Kings, Chicago!

Great turnout by the loves @aafireland.bsky.social organising their own #NoKings today, featuring the frogs.

I am not an expert partisan communicator or anything but for months, it was weird to me how so many Dem leaders and key figures just didn’t tack on things like “… while using armed troops to invade american cities, and using your tax dollars to fund a secret police terrorizing your town” even as…

A “friend” who sobs how she’s alone on holidays b/c her family doesn’t include her (doesn’t ask them). To. Me. I live 6 hrs by flights from family. I invite her & last min she always goes with her fam/friend & doesn’t think of me. Yesterday she invited my dog to go with her to thanksgiving-MY DOG

COVID: Concerned about the pressure on our NHS, as we enter the darker, colder months, and want to protect services, staff and patients! Then, it's time to be more focused on the spread of this disease, especially in healthcare settings, as well as the labour, social and economic impacts. #LongCOVID

Shit you not. This was the 2nd and 4th steps Hitler did. He put his political opponents in concentration camps ”for their own safety.”
