I want to bake banana bread. But I don’t have chocolate chips. So I need to go to the store. But I really don’t want to go to the store today. Lol Not really a big deal but it is my current dilemma.

Then I say it’s time to stop trying because he’s never going to stop until he gets what he wants. Just move on with trade with the rest of the world and let the US sort themselves out.

On @thezone.fm this morning I heard how BC restaurants are trying to let the gov allow them to buy liquor from private stores durning the strike. That’s a form of crossing the picket line. I understand it from a biz perspective but they should be urging the gov to resolve with their workers instead

Big crowd out on the legislature lawn today for a rally in support of striking workers The public sector strike escalated today with the addition of government licensed professionals, members of the Professional Employees Association, per the PEA executive #bcpoli

You know what I hate? When people make it easier to ask for forgiveness rather than asking for permission. For example, my strata if you do something like leave an item in parkade for a day nothing comes of it. But if you ask permission to leave something there for a day? Nope, you get scolded.

As an adult, the things that excite me are new appliances. I just got a new upright freezer, it’s apartment sized, and I am SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

I am now in possession of a Norfolk Pine. My question is, do you think it can survive outdoors in a pot on my balcony in Victoria? 🤔 (Victoria, BC I will add as I know some of you that follow me are in Australia, and I’m talking about Victoria in Canada haha) #yyj #gardening #trees

I am obsessed with Coral Island 🪸 it’s such a good game and I am just in fall of the first year. 👩‍🌾

You know… I’ve become Not a Fan of America, but I only learned today (2017 article) that the Americans sprayed carcinogens on Canadians back in the ‘50s & ‘60s. Yeah. Not a friend. Noted.

#yyj (Victoria, BC) where is a good place to find woozy bottles? I made some hot sauce and I want to bottle it (just for personal use) and I’m not sure where to look. I’d rather not go to amazon if I don’t have to. All I can find on google by searching so far is Amazon or wholesale places.

I watched someone complain about their health problems, then praise a tea for helping a lot… only for them to talk about how they are on the carnivore diet. I don’t doubt the tea helps, but I bet the health issues are from the carnivore diet. Why are people so stupid????

There’s nothing like waking up in the morning and feeling utterly depressed… if it wasn’t for my cats I probably wouldn’t have gotten out of bed.

A robin made a nest in one of my plant pots right outside my studio. The baby birds are hatching today.

LOL!!!! This is why you should not try AI answers!!!

Well this is a neat new report on the weather network app! Predictions for migraines or arthritis pain, since they can often be linked to weather shifts! Plus in further details theres a flu risk report too which I think is very useful.

A little embarrassing today. LOL!!! Wordle 1,438 6/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩 🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩⬜ 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Anyone who is making food in the dishwasher… just don’t. Why is this a thing I keep seeing online??? 🤢

I saw a vintage casserole dish for sale at a thrift store. It was labeled as vintage PYREX and priced accordingly. Except it was definitely NOT PYREX. It was an off brand one. Still great! But $18?‽ At Another thrift store I went to I got a genuine PYREX one for $3.

I’m just an adult in my 30s, shouting excitedly to a room full of other adults asking if they want to see all the slugs and pretty snails I found 😅 And yes, I did this at my volunteering today. One other adult was excited to see the snails & I got some weird looks LOL but I don’t care. I had fun!

I thought I left my balcony light on. I went to turn it off to find out it is already off and the bright light is this new one on the building across the street. Why do they need to light up the whole neighbourhood????

I’m helping an elderly neighbour move into an assisted living home. Unfortunately she can’t take this super cool bankers desk with her. I don’t have space for it or I would have taken it in a heartbeat. Greater Victoria peeps, anyone want it? It’s FREE! You just gotta come get it. #yyj

The LAW in Canada is that you need to have three hours consecutive available to you to vote. If you vote during scheduled work hours, they cannot deduct your pay for performing your CIVIC DUTY. Learn more here — and call Elections Canada if your employer won't abide by the law:

If you were alive and paying attention from 2007 to 2015, you know what this means. Harper did more damage, created more deficits, gave more tax breaks to the rich, harmed more veterans, cut seniors pension and did more damage than any PM in history. #NeverVoteConservative

With general voting day in the 45th federal election fast approaching, some voters may be realising that their voter information card either never came or has incorrect information. Here's what to do if that applies to you.

Van Isle: West Shore dude missing after boat capsized off Finlayson Arm last night. Woman and infant have been rescued, but this man has been lost and the police want folks to keep an eye out, especially along shorelines, I guess: #yyj More info here. westshore.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ViewPage.act...

Don’t identify with any of the main Canadian political parties? Try oatmeal socialism!

Ottawa-Carleton : Please go out and vote because this headline alone added 10 years to my life.

I'm not usually into the meme-y political things, but this is funny because it's true.

Aaron Gunn needs to be removed immediately. He is not only a genocide denier, anti-vaxxer, a poor-basher, he is now engaging in direct election interference.

Nothing in this election is decided - it gets decided on election day by your vote. So don’t vote just off what you think is going to happen - look at your local candidates and make the best decision between them. Sean McQuillan for Edmonton West

This election is about defending your health care, your home, your job – and making sure no community is left behind. Tell your friends, family, neighbours — and make a plan to vote! howyouvote.ca

I voted in the advanced polls over the weekend. Plus I got to meet up with some pretty cool people. If you haven’t voted yet, don’t worry! Election Day is April 28th. Let’s vote for people who are going to fight for us, & who actually care about us! We need NDP voices to keep the Liberals in check!

I just have to say I LOVE my nurse practitioner doctor. She understands how women are often under diagnosed, taking me seriously and doing all the tests I’m asking for and even suggesting other ones. I am so happy to have someone who cares & listens. I’ll get to the bottom of my fatigue soon 🥹💕

Easily the coolest interview of a Prime Minister, of all time. This guy is cool in a way Trudeau could never achieve. It's far more genuine. #cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZmh...

Of course, if people had internalized this fact about COVID - which is almost as contagious and so the very same risk applies - things might not be so shitty.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

I am so tired… all the time from multiple things. But one of them is my very vivid dreams I have every night. It’s neat to have them… but EXHAUSTING. Because I’m not getting rest when sleeping. 😩

I made some fresh OJ today with 3 different kinds of oranges! 😋 Now I have a bunch of pulp to do something with. I froze some in cubes to use at a later date when I make my orange cranberry sauce. But I still have lots left! What do my fellow foodies do with their orange pulp? #foodsky

Local Victoria friends! (Victoria, BC Canada aka #yyj since I also have Victoria Australia folks here) Best LOCAL shop for me to buy bulk birthday cards? I need at least 135 of them.

The one thing I miss about the height of COVID, is people not being able to hang out. LOL!!! Everyone wants to hang out all the time now. And I just… don’t want to. It’s too much! My social battery doesn’t have enough energy for more than 1 hangout a week. Even 1 a week is a lot for me somedays.

Reminder: Pierre Poilievre STILL refuses to apply for the normal, usual security clearance, the Canadian media is STILL under-reporting that, and I’m STILL choosing to assume under these dangerous and scary circumstances that it’s because he knows that he wouldn’t pass the security check.

I honestly despise politicians running on tax cuts. Fuck that. Explain what taxes do to help people. Explain the services they provide. Explain the extra costs they'll pay because of tax cuts.

This is awful. And to think, this happened to a Canadian that had every LEGAL right to be in the USA.

Love this 🥰
