Our very first paw paw flower!! 😍 After four years of babying this little tree through two moves and rather dodgy overwintering in basements, hoping it would survive, I am thrilled. No fruit this year, but hopefully the others will flower next year and get their pollination on! #Gardening

Staaaaaap. 😍 Nature is amazing.

Huzzah Montreal!!!! What a game. #NHLPlayoffs

If you haven’t read it, definitely get it. 🤩 Love the way threads of different disciplines are woven together. I’m only part of the way in and have teared up, laughed out loud, and made a sizeable list of next reads based on references. 👏Amazing! Thank you @chanda.blacksky.app! 🪐 ⚛️ 🤯 #booksky

Awwwww. (Even though cobra chickens are monsters and make a huge mess everywhere, this is still the cutest!)

Shout out to @marsdd.bsky.social for another excellent #Toronto life sciences event—standing out for its clear commitment to gender-balanced presentations and pitch competitors, something too often lacking at similar U.S. conferences. #ProudCanadian #HealthCare impacthealth.marsdd.com/program/

Have also reached my birding years. Gotta say, it's hecka delightful. Highly recommend going for #BirdPremium, my Steiner binocs are da bomb!

When your babies are doing so well, getting ready for the greenhouse, and then you find out you have a fakkin' thrips infestation. FFS. Anyone out there have good tips for non-chemical options?? They're everywhere. (don't get me started on the pepper situation). #Gardening #Pests #Whyyyyyy

As a recent subscriber who’s received the first few issues and had some good laughs 😅 (and cries about the state of the world—lookin’ at you, ’merica 🫤), I approve this message! #CanadiansLoveTheOnion

Super excited to get my Gander Social (@gandersocial.bsky.social) beta invite today! Anyone else I know on yet? @heatherwilliams.gander.social to connect! 🍁 Go Canada 🍁!

Damn catchy. 💥

🎶 Good tune... can't imagine what made me think of it. 🎶 youtu.be/XDkhzVw0yBs?...

Hot research! 🔥

NYC... did ya? Ya did. 🍁 We're very very proud of y'all.

Meanwhile, in Canada... 🍁😍

Is there a beforehedestroyedit.com? There should be...💔 I am not American, but watching what's happening to the grounds of the whitehouse (the trees!!!) is heartbreaking.

Gawd, I needed that chuckle, what a fun post. Yeah, we ARE N.I.C.E. here. So happy to be Canadian! How are y'all doing out there? It's a bit dicey, eh? Come by for a visit, stay a bit, you won't regret it! 🍁

It's difficult to keep up with the stupid from the situation to the south of us, and if I shared everything that made me say "WTF" I'd get nothing else done -- but this one bubbled to the top for me today and had to be posted. What the actual fuck. 🤦‍♀️

The world is ridiculous; therefore, I present you a wee yarn pumpkin I learned to hand-knit earlier today from a random YouTube video while I avoided thinking about it for a few moments. Making cute shit is delightful. 🫠 That is all.

These firefighting women made history in St. John's with the first all-female shift 'I get goosebumps when I think about it,' said Capt. Gina Burke #Newfoundland #Labrador www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We’re so busy asking poorly trained artificial intelligence systems for new ideas when we could be looking for solutions in the thoughtful, creative, and skilled experience of our ancestors. Care for the land and it will care for us. Amazing story!

Canada named most positive leader on world stage #Canada #cdnpoli cultmtl.com/2025/03/cana...

Fox News trying very, VERY hard to get Americans to hate Canada. "If Carney’s vision for global finance were to become a reality, the U.S. economy could enter a massive recession...His victory in Canada should alarm every American who values liberty, sovereignty and economic freedom." Such BS! 😠

👀 Once is a mistake, twice is a pattern... Womp womp.

Facts. Thank you, PM!!

This made me laugh out loud this morning. Vive le Canada! Go Australia! Who's next up for a right-wing whuppin'? Poland?

What fresh hell is this. 🤦‍♀️ My god.

🌱 The absolute delight when you find an abandoned pot (from an assumed to be failed growing attempt last year) that decided to up and sprout horseradish after being completely neglected since the snow melted. 💕 Life finds a way. 🌱 Hello new friends! Time to plant you up!

I quite like her short format interpretations of the latest crazy out of the White House… youtu.be/gztRPUy5yZ8?...

👇 Some wild stuff. What do you think the specific deal with them is??? It’ll come out in the legal documents some day, I’m sure. This 👆 and stuff like this EO - scary AF. 👀 www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

What do you do when you don’t know what to do about a single force just fucking up everything? This is a lot, right? All of it? Just - oof. There’s a part of me that now understands why people “turned it off” in the past. We can’t repeat that. Where are we directing our resources and attention?

Continuing to feel good about stopping all #Amazon use since last year. Buying local. Buying 🍁. Fuck these 👇 absolute monsters.

This is excellent. I hadn't heard their music previously. 🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hya...

At what point does the everyday American decide this is so completely offside and does -something-? This is terrifying! We (collective non-MAGA and non-US folks with an ounce of sanity) have been aghast for months. I have no idea how I, as a 🍁, can help... This is not OK. 😢

Went to the range to shoot my mossberg 12ga for the first time and my shoulder knows about it today! Ooof. :) The new Vortex Diamondback scope on the SBI 22LR is SO FREAKING FUN for accuracy practice too. Pew Pew. Can't wait to get a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt action. 😎 Interested? AMA! #CanadianShooter

Mad respect for this guy. Happy to have our country in your hands, good sir. A few seats left to count, could a majority be in reach with all those early votes still pending? 👀 #Liberals #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Let's make this happen, 🍁 friends!!! Get out and vote today!! #TeamCarney #Never51 #elxn2025

This feels optimistic.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Buffalo have developed a nanoparticle-based vaccine candidate for H5N1 avian influenza (clade 2.3.4.4b) that achieved 100% PROTECTION in preclinical trials. The vaccine is under development for potential use in BOTH veterinary AND human medicine. 🧪🧵⬇️

Excellent platform summary. 🍁👇 #cdnpoli #Liberals 👏 Much appreciate the time taken to do this, thanks!

There's been a tornado emergency and PDS warnings for a tornado on the ground NE of Nyman, IA and none of the US networks seem to be covering it. Maybe 2 in the area. I am consistently shocked that US news, other than hyper-local channels, do not cover severe weather until AFTER. #DisasterPorn

Ok I’m going to mix things up tonight and give Clare Blackwood the win for the leaders debate Here’s your trophy 🏆 sorry it’s a little small, but you packed a punch with your comedic genius. 💪🏻🍁

I don't know what the solution is, but... the way the Canadian debates are being handled is not great. 🤨 #cdnpoli

The last thing 🇨🇦Canada needs in face of Trump is another minority government. The threat and the choice are clear: Prime Minister Mark Carney with a strong mandate to protect our sovereignty and lead the rebuilding of a new, independent economy. 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

May this prayer of a long lapsed Mennonite be lifted up to the gods, and we quote Psalm 109... When he is tried, let him come forth guilty; let his prayer be counted as sin! May his days be few; may another take his office!

The entirety of this court ruling is well worth the read. Good people are standing for the rule of law. Will it hold?

My 99th percentile WISC score autistic brain and fuckin' awesome life would like a word, you road-kill bear collecting, chainsaw to the head of a dead whale, conspiracy theory and science-denying weirdo. 😡 #WeAreNotBroken

Cool research alert! 👇 Lookyloo, vaccines using mRNA technology are bringing us closer to prevention vs treatment options. Anyone who thinks this research is dangerous is working from misinformation.

How did I miss this from 8 months ago?! @propublica.org's release of Project 2025 "training videos". There's a whole whack of'em...Leavitt's in one of them as well. Holy hell. Every accusation is an admission. Feels like a black mirror episode. Up is Down. Down is Up. 👀 youtu.be/ob2nmb97OkY?...

Cast my vote for the Liberals at lunch today. 🍁
