Dear @raffic.bsky.social Did you know there’s an entire Canadian platform singing along to Baby Beluga this weekend? If you’d like to connect with your original fans in a casual and very Canadian manner, please come join us @gandersocial.ca - we’ll even do the singing! Love, April 💛

For those of you wandering over to take a gander…😉 gander.social/profile/apri... Come say hello. 💛

It seems like some folks missed the two steps in the instructions… 1. Install the app, 2. Tap the Jump into Gander button from the invite. Seems to be thing that comes up most often. Have you tried that?

Did you spend some time outside today? Did you marvel at this wondrous planet we call home? How did we get so lucky?? 🥹💛 #EarthDay

@myrafayeturner.blacksky.app Dear Myra, Happy Birthday! I hope this year is one of annoying people finally learning not to mess with you. 🤭 I wish you a year filled with family; with friends; success & recognition in your career; continued faith; and laughter from your soul. Love, April 💛

I forgot how nice it is to make bread pudding on a cold day. We made it once or twice a week growing up, but I haven’t made it in years. Funny how the recipe sticks in your head after all that time. Cinnamon & vanilla makes everything smell wonderful! *Remember to reconstitute the raisins. 💛

@moonjellymakes.bsky.social Brilliant job with your daily quilt posts! Keep going!! 💛 #QuiltSky

Also, be kind to yourself. The world is a scary place right now. 💙

It feels like the entire world is on edge, doesn’t it? Please remember the people who provide customer service, healthcare, and education also feel that stress. Shall we collectively try to remember to give people a break? Can we try to find something to laugh about together? Love, April 💛

I never thought I would see the day when I found some respect for the literal dumbest Canadians who managed to drive across the 2nd largest country in the world in the middle of winter, shut down our capital for a month and stop over 3 billion $ of goods from crossing the border (this is a subskeet)

Are you following Sascha Riley Barros on BlueSky? 💛 bsky.app/profile/mcde...

I have two observations to share today: 1) If you live in fear due to actions your government participates in, you do not live in a free country. 2) Jerome Powell is a hero and every US citizen should emulate him. That man has guts and nerves of steel. Why isn’t he president?? Love, April 💛

Dear @myrafayeturner.bsky.social Merry Christmas! Love, April 💛✨

I’m thinking of, and feeling very grateful for, all of our healthcare providers this holiday. May peace and miracles guide each of you on this day. Love, April 💛✨

I hope laughter, courage and peace guard you this season and keep you well throughout the coming year. Love, April 💛

Must watch. The world will miss you Dr. Jane. 🌎

Reminder: Blow cinnamon into your home at the start of a new month for abundance and prosperity. It also smells wonderful. Happy October! Love, April 💛🍁🍂

Just a reminder for all visible minority members working for ICE that in the end the kapos in nazi concentration camps didn't fare any better than those they oversaw. And as a means of survival it proved to be temporary at best.

Amazon Prime Days begin in Canada tomorrow. I’m here to remind you it’s okay to completely ignore it. We should ignore it, in fact. Trust me: you don’t *need* a snackle box. We do need to support our local stores. They pay taxes here. Love, April 💛 #BuyCanadian #BuyLocal #CanadaSky

Just waiting to learn that ICE is tattooing ID numbers onto the arms of those they abduct. It's inevitable.

I woke up angry today. I’m angry at the people entrusted to ensure our world’s existence is stable for our children. I’m especially angry with the men who are so afraid of difference they need to belittle, endanger, and harm. I’m overwhelmingly angry at ego and greed. No forgiveness. 💛

Caring isn’t a weakness. It’s a superpower. Soft does not equal weak. It’s strength at a higher level. 💛
