And just remember, folks: when the jackboots come marching down *your* street, be like the dog in the meme! #everythingisfine #doginburninghousememe #itsallgood

Americans, for the love of all you hold dear, get up on your hind legs and stop this fucking madman. Please. We are begging you.

So Trumps stormtroopers have been dispatched to Minnesota, I see. Sieg Heil, everybody! /sarcasm #trumpisafascist #nazis #fucktrump #iceshootingdeath #murder www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Ben Jennings cartoon from today's Guardian (UK) newspaper. As always, utterly, beautifully savage and uncannily accurate. #trump #guardianuk #cartoon

Wondering if it's okay to venture into the back garden. 😁

Big fun in the big snowfall! #dogsofbluesky #chiweenie #rescue #borderterrier #winter #nlwx

Ordered these custom suncatchers back in November. They just arrived yesterday and they were well worth the wait! #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #chiweenie #rescue #suncatchers #cute #lovedogs

Snowy walk in Powers Pond Park today, and dropping by the hospital to see Dad before he went in for surgery. #winter #walking #mountpearlnl #powerspondpark

Night night sweet dreamies Self-love doesn’t arrive all at once. It starts with liking who you are, which comes from respecting yourself, which begins with thinking kinder thoughts about yourself. Why not give it a go?

Just FYI, although I'm sure my fellow Canucks understand that information coming out of the United States is questionable at best. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Call me a smug Canadian, but I've never been so grateful for universal healthcare. My dad (78, Parkinson's patient) fell yesterday and broke *off* the ball at the top of his femur. He is having surgery today to install a titanium implant. Canada? Things are good here. ❤️🍁 #ocanada #healthcare #elder

This is what I'm taking into 2026 with me, this fundamental truth right here: "This part of life isn’t just something you have to get through, to get to the bit that really counts. It is the part that really counts." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! From St. John's, Newfoundland. The far east of the western world. #2026 #newyearseve #stjohnsNL #newfoundland

Look at this precious little comma! Worn out from a long walk in the snow with me earlier this morning. (Riley declined to promenade in cold weather, bless him.) #dogsofbluesky #borderterrier #juniper #sleepy

New jeans. Size 5!!! 🥰

Can you help this sweet, darling, older girl? It would mean the world to her. ❤️

On the left is a photo of Middle Cove, Newfoundland. On the right is a photo of Portloe, Cornwall, UK. Now, knowing that many of our Newfoundland ancestors came from places like Cornwall, I wonder if they looked at this coastline and said, "Aye, that'll do nicely. Put t'kettle on, maid."

Can't believe I have to apply for an ETA to enter the UK in June. I'm going to sound like an old fogey, but there was a time when a Canadian passport would let you travel just about anywhere. Not to mention my parents are British citizens (born before 1949, when Newfoundland joined Canada!) 🍁

The SPCA in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador, rescued these precious little darlings and their mum, from a makeshift den. It's freezing cold there this time of year. Thank God for these quick-thinking women. #SPCA #Labrador #puppies www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Walkies in the park with the wee ones. Found this cute little tree someone had decorated.

Stale Timbits have negative calories. In fact, the labour expended in chewing them burns calories. So there.

Evening walk with Miss Juniper, with Christmas lights and gently-falling snow, while listening to a Louise Penny audiobook. Winter bliss. 😊 #walking #winter #snowing #dogs #city #christmas #louisepenny

Rest in peace, Sophie Kinsella. You brought joy and laughter to a lot of readers. You can rest now, my love. 😭 #rip #sophiekinsella #author #fuckcancer

I've often liked the look of "real" (i.e. not processed and full of chemicals and sodium) ramen but I've never tried making it at home. Well, this evening I did and OH WOW it is SO GOOD. #homemade #ramen #delicious #hot #tasty #filling #satisfying #sogood #soyummy theyummybowl.com/easy-ramen-n...

Winter took her first… #AmWriting #NoirFiction #WinterNoir #IndieAuthor

Live shot from the NTV webcams. -21C with the wind, and the roads are slick as snot. Drive careful! T'attache! 😊

So I Googled my Inspector Blaise Pascal of the Sûreté du Québec and encountered something that's not even a Google result. It's fan fiction written by a rogue AI in a trench coat:L'« Inspecteur Blaise Pascal »[est] un personnage fictif de roman policier, créé par l'auteur J.S. Cook. 😃

Had a hankering for another great police procedural and heard this was good. It's more than good. It's INCREDIBLE. Set in Belfast, it features amazing acting, well-drawn characters, and great storylines. It's on Amazon Prime if you want to give it a look. #TV #bluelights

If you are in the Austin, TX area, please please please can you help? This is a dire situation. Thank you. ♥️

Sharing this again. If you can help, I know it will be appreciated. Goodnight! 💙🐾

Snowing! Lovely fresh, dry powder: perfect for skiing and snowshoeing. #winter #winterlover #snow #newfoundland #canada

Walkies. 😊

Christmas party at Himself's work tonight: food, food, food, wine, wine, wine and copious dancing. My new flapper dress and silver shoes sure got a workout!!! 😊

Early training for Christmas Eve, maybe? (Photo courtesy of Andrea Barbour, via Instagram) #caribou #reindeer #newfoundland

So Jamie Oliver is on TV pushing meat through a strainer into a pot of boiling slurry with sticks in it, whilst smashing onions with his fists on the side of a mountain but maybe that's a sport in the Alps I don't know... #cooking #cookery #jamieoliver #alps #onions #meat #slurry

Intergenerational trauma is like a game of Pass the Parcel — except the parcel is a leaky bag of shit and it’s on fire. #intergenerational #trauma #abuse #shit #fire

I have just done something so catastrophically stupid that it defies description. Bought pre-cooked chips (French fries) from a local business. Told her I wanted 20 pounds. I have dyscalculia (i.e. number dyslexia) So I thought = 20 pound bag of spuds. No. I now have way too many chips. Idiot! 🤣

Ohnonononono... No... oh sweet Penny, darling girl. Fly high, my love. You're safe at Home but we will miss you so much. Sending love and hugs to your people. ♥️ #rip #petloss #canadianpenny #dogsofbluesky

So tomorrow they are calling for the first winter storm of the season. I am DYING to go snowshoeing with the dogs. However, here on the Avalon Peninsula, we're supposed to get wet, heavy, rain-infused SLOP. Reader, I am disappoint. I don't want rain. I want SNOW. #snowplease #nlwx #winter

I wonder who decided that popcorn should be consumed at the cinema...and did they stop with corn or did they explode other vegetables?

Dasha, Ukrainian drone pilot, hugging her dog. She misses her children, who live in Europe. Fuck you, Putin. (Photo from The Guardian) #warinukraine #fuckputin #dronepilot #dogs

Look at this precious, precious little soul. Please consider giving her a forever home. ❤️

Fitbit, after I've just completed a brisk 75-minute walk: Are you ready to hit your fitness target? Me: Are you ready to fuck right off? 😂 #fitbit #shitbit #exercise #shutup #walking #fitnessafter50

Twenty years to the day since we let you go. My beautiful Elton girl, I love you and miss you. #OTRB #petloss #memories #loveliveshere

Childhood in rural Newfoundland was all fine and good until someone handed you a moose steak the size of a tractor tire. Shut up.

If you have never heard of Kathy Stock, you need to STOP whatever you are doing RIGHT NOW and listen to this woman. She is a fellow Newfoundlander and she is one of the most incredible voices I have ever heard. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whqv... #kathystockmusic #kathystock #singersongwriter

Run from them? Oh HELL no! I want to lie down and play with the puppehs. 🥰 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Really, student? Really? You ask me this? Now? Today? I have had insufficient sleep. I am running on caffeine and spite. Just don't. 🤣

New shirt. 🤣
