"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

I really need to speak to the woman who keeps booking me work. Back on planes tomorrow, this time via MSP and DEN. Hope to arrive in GTF by 13:30 and at hotel by 14:30 MST. This woman is keeping me too busy and is a marginal roommate.

Update: My cousin April helped to raise enough money for Muriel to retire and is working to get a contractor to fix the floor in her mobile home. David doesn’t need much, just a small hand up. gofund.me/702595406

Why help David? He is like many Americans, one week away from having to sleep in his car and he is too weak right now to help himself. He can easily get back on track if we give him a small hand up so he doesn’t get the boot from his apartment this week. www.gofundme.com/f/i-need-hel...

David is a pharmacist. He's had some problems lately getting back on track. Recovering from illness, transition to new employment and things just kind of fell apart. I sent him a venmo, you can too. Small amounts add up, many hands together can make a difference to 1 person.

Hismile whitening strips. Left on for 40 minutes. Limited improvement. Probably good for a 1 day event. It’s the purple pigment that neutralizes yellow. Must dry teeth well before applying and don’t stretch the strips.

Chia mango & protein smoothie, waiting on clothes in the dryer so I can once again pack my suitcase and an hour long call with my cousin for his 54th birthday. 🥳

Get your vote in.

Dear fellow Canadians, how do we do something about this? This was reportable and they failed to report. How do we make them duty bound to report and prevent this from happening again? Hit them where it hurts, right on the bottom line.

still unclear to me how the species made it this far

The Tumbler Ridge shooter had used OpenAI to discuss scenarios involving gun violence. It was bad enough to get flagged and reviewed by employees, who warned the company & suggested alerting law enforcement. The company said No. This tragedy could have been prevented. Gut wrenching.

Happy 59th Birthday, Kurt...

If you had to choose between being locked in a hot car with Danielle Smith or a rabid raccoon, which would you choose and why would it be the raccoon?

Watching Dan McTeague justify the 10 cent/litre price jump at the pumps in Vancouver on Global News is hilarious. He's trying to blame a "slight" increase in crude prices and the weak Cdn $$. Dan the Cdn $$ is 10 cents better than this time last year and....the crude price, has fallen $5/bbl bozo!

Irony at its finest…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

I found smaller portion bricks of chili frozen in the freezer. This might take me all afternoon and evening to eat, but willing to attempt. Pickled beets and bread with balsamic and oil. Not stuff I get on the road.

The first few years though are rough, catching every thing that comes along

Our river is rivering again.

More hope from mRNA vaccines. In this instance, individualized vaccines were given to women with triple negative breast cancer following surgery and adjuvant therapy. The results are quite remarkable. Despite cancer finding a ‘T cell-evading’ work-around in some patients. #Science 🧪

Get your birth certificate and a passport. Prepare and show up. Motivate others.

Best selfie ever

This is so great. 🇨🇦❤️🥰

Why are all history teachers left-wing? Because they studied history.

They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal. Then we must show up in greater numbers. BE UNGOVERNABLE.

Really sorry to hear of Eric Dane's death to ALS. Such a wonderful actor, such a horrible illness. Love to his loved ones.💙🕯️

Random post. Here's a clip of the National Center of Women's Innovations honoring Dr. Gladys B. West, who enabled the technology that is now the GPS. I think she passed last month at the age of 95. She is another one of those "Hidden Figures". www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLnx...

Today, I am doing the art of nothing and loving it. Slept in. Coffee and cereal during a two hour bath. Watching tv shows. Giving myself a facial, teeth whitening and other personal grooming. Probably will pull some soup from the freezer for supper.

I suspect there are many similar violations beyond this one Ontario store. “Real Canadian Superstore has been fined $10,000 by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for what the agency says were “misleading” displays about “Product of Canada” labels.” By Ariel Rabinovitch at Global News

I love when they get a Community Note. 🍿

Poli Sci prof Duane Bratt spelled it out last night to a Red Deer audience about the cost of separation. UCP govt is using separation to distract from serious issues in health care, education, coal mining, and more.

Thank goodness for neighbours who let you pull into their driveway when you cannot get into your drive because of the massive pile of snow the plow left.
