Is this not the cutest ruler? 🐈‍⬛😻📏 I got this for my 2026 Hobonichi Hon. #Hobonichi #PlannerStuff #CatSky

I would 💯 watch this 🎦 “Elderly Austrian nuns break out of nursing home and back into their former convent, defying diocese.” www.ctvnews.ca/world/articl...

Just finished Grady Hendrix’s, audiobook of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls. Surprisingly enjoyable—even though it’s over 16 hrs & I winced through many graphic descriptions of body horror. 😖 📚: Horrorstör; My Best Friend’s Exorcism; & The Southern Book Club’s Guide To Slaying Vampires. #BookSky💙📚

Hey book friends—Have you been to the new Indie bookstore in St. Jacob’s, Ontario? It’s called, The Book Loft, & they’ve curated a nice selection of books. I don’t believe they’re on BlueSky, but they are on TikTok. I went for the first time today, but it certainly won’t be my last! #BookSky 💙📚

Okay, I was drawn in and purchased my first Hobonichi Techo planner. I got the Hon. it’s got everything the Cousin has, but comes in hardcover. I also bought the 5-year journal. Thought it would be fun to try. Got to get back to my planner game in 2026—I let it slide for the last couple of years.

My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires. When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.

#Caturday #CatSky 🐈 My sweet Asha.

I’m taking the plunge and making the switch from a Passion Planner to a Wonderland222 All-In-One Planner for 2026. What are some of your favourite planner spread ideas for W222? #Planner2026

Guess who’s got tickets to see Kamala Harris in Toronto in November? 🎉🎉🎉 🙌🏼🙋‍♀️

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists devoted their entire lives to deceiving you, but a reality-TV star proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

I despise the RBC AI on both telephone and online banking. All I had was a simple question about whether or not a service was still provided. Why can I not talk to a customer service rep in my small town branch anymore on the phone?

July was my lowest reading month so far this year, but I still managed to finish 10 books. The three pictured in the graphic were the best 3 of the bunch. #BookSky 📚🦋 #JulyReadingStats

Got some fun #BookMail 📖📬 today! Arcana Academy by Elisa Kova I was lucky enough to read an ARC of this from @netgalley.bsky.social in Dec 2024 It was a 5-star read for me. I liked it so much, I bought the hardcover. It’s just been published. #BookSky 📚🦋 #DarkAcademia

I just got approved on @netgalley.bsky.social for the audiobook edition of T. Kingfisher’s Hemlock & Silver! Love me a T. Kingfisher audiobook 🎧🥰—I just started reading her books this year & she’s become my favourite author of 2025. I’ve finished 6 of her books so far.

My husband sent me this link questioning why I’m not on the list—I think this is a challenge. 😂 I have over 1K books 📚🫣 so I’m 1/4 of the way to their “lucky number” & I think my collection would be considered a small library. Challenge Accepted. 💪 #BookSky 📚🦋 getpocket.com/explore/item...

July 2025 Shop Hop is complete! I’ve driven all over S-W Ontario to 12 different quilt stores in the last 2 weeks to collect each store’s quilt block. Now it’s time to start assembling my quilt!

Kerisl — “the sorrow of imagining the wealth of knowledge forever lost to history.” Love this word—I feel this in my bones. (Definition from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows)

The deer flies were swarming yesterday morning during our hike around Petroglyphs Provincial Park. Glad we had the forethought to bring our face netting to keep them off. #OntarioParks #Petroglyphs #Hiking #LakeMcginnis #MeromicticLake #TheTeachingRocks #IndigenousHeritageSite

Mini-book haul. • The Book of Witching by C.J. Cooke • The Unworthy by Agustina Bazterrica • We Do Not Part by Han Kang #BookHaul #BookSky 🦋📚

It’s a scorcher outside 🥵 We got up early to water the garden & put out some shallow-bottom, wide mouth bowls of water for the birds. Turned my blinds down to keep the cool in & heat out. I’ve got asthma, so I’m hiding inside for the day. Keep cool as best you can out there my friends.

Middle of the day, hottest day of the year—people in the neighbour are firing up their lawn mowers. Enjoy your scorched grass neighbours. 🤦‍♀️

Wab Kinew is amazing and is doing amazing things for Manitoba. www.youtube.com/live/tPQugUQ...

Attended #Weftfest yesterday with a friend—A fibre festival hosted by @threesisterscentre.bsky.social So many incredible fibre artists in our region! 🥰 love the wool painting technique & wish I had the patience to try my hand at embroidery. Favourite quote blocks on the #QuiltOfBelonging

WEFTFest is almost here! Celebrate the Fibre Arts this May long weekend at the St. George Banquet Hall in Waterloo, ON. With designers, artists, vendors, demonstrations, talks and of course quilts! Featuring the "must see" Quilt of Belonging. $15 at the door

There is about to be a cat fight on my lap & I’m scared for my life. This is our third and oldest cat, Nixxie (9yrs) batting at and trying to nip Asha’s tail. #CatsOfBlueSky

My Maine Coon cat (2yrs) vs my Abyssinian cat (6.5yrs) - 17lbs vs 5.5lbs Quite the size difference. #CatsOfBlueSky

Of course, since I literally planted out my garden yesterday, there is going to be frost the next 2 nights. My garden beds & porch pots are now festooned for the night with blankets, tarps, & upside down pots to protect my 🌱 from the 🥶🧚 I just pretended I was tucking them in for the night.

Tonight’s read is a story of three different polar bears written in the style of a memoir. Memoirs of a Polar Bear by Yoko Tawada. #BookSky #LoveOfReading #Memoir

Waiting on a bench in the mall. There are 7 other empty benches in plain sight. Someone sits down beside me. /sigh/. Get up and move myself to an empty bench. Why?

It’s somewhat irritating when you show up to a store at their opening hours and find out that Google was wrong and they open an hour later.

I told my kids I was gonna make some applesauce to have with dinner (from the old apples in the fridge that no-one was eating). Their response: “Make applesauce? Isn’t that what the pioneers did?” 🤦‍♀️

I got to reunite a tiny gosling with his parents and siblings today. 🪿 Story time. 1/7

What is the attraction to the clacking “creamy” keyboards? Every time I come across a video of one, I almost claw my way out of my own skin—if I came across one in the office and had to listen to that all day? Ugh. It’s a visceral & emphatic NO. Quiet, flat keyboards for me.

Lunch prep for next week—done!

Was at the mall with my 19 y.o. yesterday. While she was putting the cart away, the cashier said—“it’s nice that your daughter shops with you, most teenagers won’t come to the mall with their moms or if they do, they’re sullen & cranky.” I guess I’m a lucky mom whose kid likes to hang around her. 🥰

Just had a meal prep & menu-planning house meeting. Both my young adult children are home for the summer from uni. Should be an interesting summer with 4 people in the house working variable-hour, full-time jobs. It’s gonna take some logistical planning for meals, cars, laundry, showers, & etc.

Results from Elections Canada. Pierre Poilievre has lost his seat.

Well, it’s not a majority government, but P.P. lost his seat 🎉 & it looks like the Liberal incumbent for my riding is going to hold his seat by the skin of his teeth once again. 🤞 This is a good day & a hard fought win Canada!🇨🇦

This is the most consequential election of our lifetime... choose wisely, please. Mark Carney is the right man for the job that needs to be done.

It’s election day! 🗳️ Get out and exercise your right to vote. 🇨🇦

The NDP have been the biggest disappointment this election.

Just a reminder, I block freely & liberally. Rage bait me—block. Comment nonsense—block. Deny the human rights of others—block. I support trans people & am an intersectional feminist—if you don’t like that, don’t let the door hit you as you show yourself out. I protect my peace and my space.

I just had ChatGPT design me a weekly workout from a detailed prompt with varied options that I can choose from based on my mood and energy level that day. It gave me YouTube video and app suggestions to supplement my workouts. It also created a progress checklist and a curated Spotify playlist!

Went to vote today (first day of early voting) & the lineup was long & very, very slow—there were only 2 ballot stations for my riding. Over an hour later & my vote was cast. Good luck Tim Louis & Mark Carney! 🇨🇦🗳️ #CanadaVotes #FederalElection

I’m so tired of opening any news or social media app and seeing his smarmy, sneery face. I want to move to another timeline please.

My pretty girl got to enjoy some sun soaking too.

It’s good day to plant radishes & mesclun in S-W Ontario in a raised, covered garden bed. 👩‍🌾 I also planted out carrots & covered them with a board. 🥕 I noticed that the onions 🧅 & garlic 🧄 I planted out last Autumn are coming up, as is my rhubarb. 🌱 Hands in the soil, finally feels like Spring.

Apparently, the conservatives are sending text messages this weekend asking for support. Responded in the negative, reported junk, then blocked the number. #NeverConservative
