When everyone (rightfully) shits on Alberta, can we collectively agree that the majority of Edmontonians should be exempt from this vitriol? Our voting patterns speak for themselves. #cdnpoli

Not paying flight attendants until the plane door closes is legalized wage theft. Air Canada, Air Transat, WestJet... they're all guilty of this unethical practice. #cdnpoli #aircanadastrike

It's abhorrent that the government made a back-to-work order. I doubt ANY of them ever work without being compensated for their time. Why isn't that a basic standard for everyone? #cdnpoli #aircanadastrike

There will never be a strike where my support goes to the employer. The imbalance in power will always lead to max extraction from the workforce and striking is the only way to force change. #cdnpoli #aircanadastrike

What absolutely abhorrent schemes are the ucp ghouls working on this week I wonder — as if I don’t have a dance card full of rage already.

Another reason the epidemic of violence against women is so pervasive is the inherent age-old belief that somehow men are entitled to our bodies. The attitude can best be demonstrated in how the President of the United States referred to his victims as property that was “stolen” from him.

Sooooo the UCP ordered all pharmacies to destroy remaining covid vaccines by Aug 1st even if they weren’t expired. More loser behaviour from Danielle Smith who is making this province abjectly worse with every passing day. #alberta www.reddit.com/r/alberta/co...

I’m debating not trying to look good for my passport photos so when the renewal comes up in 10 years, I wont feel any type of way.

Are we sure those measles numbers coming from the USA are accurate? Last I checked they mass fired CDC staff and the health secretary is anti-vax 🕵️‍♀️

If you’ve never worked in the service industry or held multiple “menial” jobs at once, your negative opinion on UBI is irrelevant.

Look at that gorgeous yellow bloom!! New garden goal unlocked: cactus in Edmonton. #edmontongarden #yeg

I curse whoever designed front loading washing machines. The front rubber seal is actually impossible to fully clean and collects all kinds of goop in unreachable nooks.

It's been 10 years since I last lived at the John Deere lofts in downtown Edmonton. Still love this space but I do not miss the paper thin walls! sandyjoe.com/john-deere-l... #edmonton

Got my updated measles vax and this surrealist masterpiece was on the wall:

One thing you’ll never find on my social media or blog is anything generated by AI. All the spelling errors and terrible outfits are generated by ME and me alone.

Smells are immaculate in Edmonton right now. #yeg

Name one brand that improved after they were bought by private equity…

Canada Post is a service and shouldn't need to "make money". Canada Post workers deserve respect for their work, good wages, good work hours, and good benefits. Solidarity.

Staying at the Hakujukan was one of the best experiences from my recent trip to Japan. From the Buddhist Shojin cuisine to the 4am morning service at Eiheiji temple, it was pure bliss. sandyjoe.com/staying-at-t...

Recession indicator: the return of the peplum.

So it turns out that threads is almost as bad as twitter? The vitriol I’m receiving from conservatives on an innocuous post is wild.

As an albertan, I implore everyone to NOT vote conservative today.

Behold my lovely crocus!

I wish there was a bar that only played 90s - early 2000s music. And it’d be called Junior High or something.

After listening to 95,192 minutes of podcasts last year, I've made a list of my favourites from 2024: sandyjoe.com/best-podcast... #podcasts #podcastrecommendations

Trapped somewhere between wondering if I should be preparing to go to war and buying old perfume from my youth to bring me a shred of joy. 🤪

For every great photo, there's at least 10 bad ones. I've compiled my top outtakes in this 2024 Blooper Reel. Please enjoy: sandyjoe.com/the-2024-blo... #bloopers

Almost a quarter into the year and I've just decided what I want to accomplish. Read all about my plans to make a will that includes specific instructions for my Polly Pockets here: sandyjoe.com/10-things-to...

Many thanks to the Wedding Singer soundtrack for introducing me to The Smith’s when I was 11.
