Manitoba is simultaneously flooding and on fire and Alberta thinks it needs a new pipeline. What the actual fuck.

My cherry tomatoes have begun to fruit in spite of (or because of) all of the rain and I am very, very ready to take credit for this.

I think I've used every spatula in my kitchen cooking dinner tonight.

Our ninebark is blooming for the first time, and I am inordinately pleased.

Shout out to the Scots showing the lovely Americans what alcohol, travel insurance, and socialised health care waiting at home can achieve. "Big historical horsecunt was pure beggin' for a conin'", noted one onlooker.

I just have to get through 1.5 more hours today but I'm just not sure I can do this.

Business as usual at the end of our driveway. #ducks #TotallyQuackers

Now that a tornado has been spotted near my home (I'm also close to a trailer park), I have come to terms with my impending demise. To prepare, I have brushed my teeth and tweezed my mustache. Must leave my best looking corpse behind. #MBStorm

Can't tell you the last time I went through a derecho was. It's wild out there. #mbstorm

Do I need more yarrow? No. Am I buying more yarrow? Also yes.

Tonight is not a night for pants.

Great night at the Goldeyes game tonight. 6-3 win. Slow start for the home team, but once they got going they really took off. #baseball

Lilac season is far too short.

Currently wondering why my neighbors turned their Christmas lights back on (to be clear I'm not upset, just curious).

The heat is on in the yoga room for what is supposed to be a cold barre class. Pray for us.

I love the feeling in the air as the storm builds up. We should be in for a good one tonight

It's about to pour out (you can feel it in the air) and my next door neighbors have sprinklers running.

Reading old Stephane Dion speeches, as one does.

This is Frank. He was getting checked out at the vet when he decided the appointment was over. Has things to do and places to be, but doesn't mind if you come along. 13/10 (TT: thatonevettech)

Made a blitz torte for Mother's Day (mom loves meringue and cake, and this covers both bases). First time making it and it came out pretty well! The pastry cream centre is orange flavoured, with a bit of orange juice and zest. #foodsky 🍽️

@suzietoot.bsky.social after watching your Very Delta interview, I feel like you missed out on the Winnipeg experience. We were the original test market for McD's nuggs, and without us they wouldn't be out in the world for you. #NuggCity

The lilac bush is beginning to bud, which has me inordinately pleased.

Superstore added a box of Advil to my grocery delivery today and I don't know how they knew what my afternoon was going to be like but I appreciated the thoughtfulness.

Thunder and lightning? Yesss, a perfect end to the evening.

Chased my first bird out of the garage for the year. #spring

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. -Desmond Tutu

A new contender for best headline

So lovely to see and hear Joni singing on the Junos tonight.

Cooking my books: a mostly apple cake with toasted pecans, from Snacking Cakes.

One last email to answer today and I just. Don't. Wanna.

Workers who fall for ‘corporate bullshit’ may be worse at their jobs, study finds

All this. Yes.

I can hear the water pouring down the drainpipe today, and it's a wonderful sound. #TiredOfWinter

Did not know that my parents were judging my protein intake, but surprise! they are indeed.

When you lose @raffic.bsky.social ... He's fully correct btw. Don't envy @winnipegjets.com for the mess their goalie has made.

Dinner tonight was bao buns, with char siu, and quick pickled carrots. First time making this and I'm very happy with how it came out. #foodsky 🍽️

From Smitten Kitchen: Keepers - Chocolate Dulce Puddle Cakes Perfect for Valentine's Day. The ramekins that I have are bigger than the recipe called for, so the cakes are lower looking. Came out well, esp. for my first time making lava cakes. Very rich. @smittenkitchen.bsky.social #foodsky 🍽️

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

In good news, a little one was born in Utah🦒 www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01...

Perfect

Cooking from my books: tonight's dinner is Saskatchewan Bison Stew, from Prairie. #foodsky 🍽️

Bruce Fanjoy has launched a petition to require all federal party leaders to obtain and maintain top security clearance. It's open for a couple of months. Please SIGN! #cdnpoli www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Spent my day running around in panic after a) missing a deadline that I only just realized after a week and b) trying to figure out where an employee had disappeared off to after he told nobody he'd be missing the day. Well fuck. Time to take a stress leave.

Oof, the Sunday scaries hit hard just now.
