Happy MERMAY!!! I am in love with this GORGEOUS drawing I received as a gift. It’s me as my mersona 🧜🏻‍♀️

I got stuck in a table in a restaurant all night in @paralives.com before I realized there’s an unstuck button in the main menu LOL The bugs honestly make me cackle so hard, so I’m totally enjoying playing this early access. Day one and I played 6 hours already. I am really enjoying it!

Police in British Columbia say an actor who appeared on series such as "Virgin River" and "Murder in a Small Town" may be the victim of a homicide. 

I am planning to go to Tofino for my first time in June! While I’ll be camping, I want to check out some local stuff too. So what are some great places to grab a bite to eat in town? I want to know for any meal, and treats! I’ll definitely be needing ice cream one of the days.

Anyone here know much about bugs? I noticed a bunch of leaves on my birch tree are rolled up like cocoons. What would do this? Should I be concerned and remove them? Or is it a beneficial bug?

The sheer number of people I have seen using ChatGPT to write posts for them, but like just posts about what they did today. Like a life update kinda thing. Is INSANE. Like, just post what you put into ChatGPT for the prompt. YOU DO NOT NEED CHATGPT TO UPDATE YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR LIFE.

I just crushed a bag of rice cakes with zero regrets. 😋 Salt & Vinegar of course.

A little butterfly needed a rest. So it sat on my finger for a break during my walk. It rode for a few strides and then flew away.

Nothing prepares you for watching paramedics preform CPR on someone IRL. I went into the office today & it was there right in front of me. To give them space I turned around and went in the back doors. But nothing prepares you for what that actually looks like.

My balcony plum tree has blossoms!!!! I’ve had it for 3 years now so I was hoping this year it would blossom. I hope I get some fruit from it. 😋 I count 6 blossoms so far!!! #balconygarden #urbangardening #gardening

Black History IS Victoria’s history. If you’re interested in learning more about our city and our region and #blackhistory in #BCPoli and #VictoriaBC go to the @blackhistory.bc tour of #RossBayCemetery tomorrow at 2. It is *so* informative and interesting.

You know what I miss? Those fundraisers that sold those giant ice cream pail sized things of cookie dough

I’m looking for nice date night restaurants in North Saanich area (ish) any recommendations? TIA #yyj #yyjfoodie It’s for a work thing (looking to send a client a gift card to treat themselves out)

In the fall, I grabbed a handful of Gary oak acorns. I tossed them into an empty pot on my balcony. Guess what? TWO OF THEM HAVE SPROUTED!!! I’m helping a protected/endangered species grow on my BALCONY!!! 😍 #yyj

The sun is out & the ACNH update is here. What a great day!!!!

I don’t remember the last time I saw the sun… #yyj

If you still have an X/Twitter account. GET OFF NOW!!! Its AI is doing disgusting things. Including child p0rn 🤮 which means the AI had to be FED images to be able to create it in the first place.

I needed to buy some Tabasco today, which had me realize it’s a US product. I couldn’t find thing on the shelf near by that was Canadian that fit the flavour profile so I still bought a small bottle. But does anyone know of a Canadian brand that makes a hot sauce like Tabasco???

Teachers are doing the same thing - shoving AI down their students throats while insisting that they could never be replaced by a machine.

Parts of Vancouver Island have been upgraded to a flood watch, with additional regions placed on a high streamflow advisory.

This is nuts (pun intended lol). All jokes aside as much as I love pistachios, the recalls with them that have been ongoing for months now I just am avoiding ALL pistachio products.

I forgot to make my bed with my new sheets that are in the dryer. So now I’m warming them up in the dryer again before I put them on so I can crawl into a warm bed 😍

Here’s my baby Buttercup all snuggled up on a pile of blankets to cleanse your feed 💕

Cheers to the days getting longer again after today. Happy winter solstice and blessed Yule.

Ducks on ice. Action!

My cat just bit into a cherry flavoured candy cane hanging off the tree and proceeded to try and eat it. WHYYYYYY

I got to have my mermaid life captured in the most magical experience ever on my recent trip to Mexico. 🧜🏻‍♀️

I’m glad they finally got rid of him.

If you’re ever evicted for “family” to occupy the suite but you see it for rent within the year, you could be entitled to up to a YEAR’s rent in compensation here in BC. Watch those apartment listings.

Low key maybe obsessed with @coralislandgame.bsky.social these days. I love my cozy farming sims. This one is perfect 😍

Turns out it wasn’t the olives. I drank something that had tapioca in it (I am moderately allergic to tapioca). How do I know this? I drank it again this morning and OH BOY my intestines are not happy. 🤢

I ate an entire jar of garlic stuffed olives last night. I have no regrets about it. But my intestines are not happy about it. 😅

At a time when Albertans are struggling to afford groceries, utilities, and rent, the UCP voted against raising the minimum wage and gave themselves a raise instead. This government does not care about the priorities that matter most to you. youtube.com/shorts/lRkCc...

I watched the Witcher season 4. I was prepared to be disappointed but it felt more disappointing than I was prepared for. I feel like nothing actually happened the whole season. And the last season recap was HORRIBLE since they decided to make NEW scenes with the new actor. Like omg.

I want to know your favourite or best spots for date night dinner in #yyj My husband and I never go out and I need some ideas lol

Local woman has tried using the notwithstanding clause a few times over the years but maybe 5th time is a charm.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I wish Costco had the option for online pickup. I’d drive to Costco for that. I’d love to order online ans just pickup. I very much dislike going into Costco in Victoria. It is so overwhelming and stressful for me. The only time I enjoyed shopping there was peak COVID times.

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.
