If all goes according to plan (that’s a very large “if”) I’ll have moved out of province before the October referendumb. I’m not really sure how I feel about that yet, tbh. Looking forward to putting Alberta in my rearview mirror, but wanna do my part to help crush the UCP too.

Me right now, waiting for the USA -Sweden hockey game to start.

Please enjoy my cartoon in today's Toronto Star

I really need to get my mom's documentation sorted out to prove my #Scottish bonafides.

Lately I’ve been communicating exclusively via gifs in our family chat. My son wants me to stop because he wants to include his girlfriend in the chat and he doesn’t want her to know how cringe I am. Son, she’s gonna figure it out at some point.

Winter is coming (again)

Right now there are 385 comments covering about 3,768 different opinions on who started the fight, who won the fight, who lost the fight, which country is superior and which player is a bigger POS. BRB, gonna go make some🍿

Happy Valentine’s Day! What’s your favorite sitcom romance?

Things have been moving fast since the #WhiskyWar ended.

Ok, in the last 48 hours I’ve finished painting 2 bathrooms and taken one load of junk to the landfill. Looking around the house, it hasn’t made the slightest dent in my list of things that need to get done in the next 2 months. #NoPressure

Every artist who’s been asked to take payment in “exposure“ so someone else can use their creation to make $$$ just rolled their eyes. “I’d be so honored that someone wants to skate to my music and give the music some amazing exposure,” said retired Canadian pairs skater Meagan Duhamel. #clueless

I should have waited until today to post this one, I guess.

Whoever is ringing my doorbell, knock it off. I’m not answering. #introvert

This must be that #truculence hockey people are always banging on about.

A friend of mine is a nephew of #ViolaDesmond, featured on the Canadian $10 bill. Sometimes compared to Rosa Parks, she also refused to leave a seat in a “whites only” seating area, leading to her being arrested, charged and convicted of evading 1 cent in taxes. #BlackHistoryMonth

Craig’s time at the Late Late Show was the absolute peak of late-night tv.

I think I found an ending to give my Starship Troopers/Saving Private Ryan inspired #sci-fi short story an actual arc. Now to try to figure out what to do with it. Meanwhile, it does have a couple of #positions. #wipsnips #writesky

The opening of my Starship-Troopers/Saving-Private-Ryan-inspired short story. Still very much a #WIP #academy #wipsnips #scifi

Catherine O’Hara brought more joy into the world than most people could ever dream to. Rest easy Catherine.

Hmmm. No reasons given.🤔 Still switching my main grocery store from Save-On to Safeway until I know for sure Pattison considers opposing fascism more important than maximizing profit.

A seating map for tonight’s show at my local theatre. I guess some of my neighbours and I don’t see eye to eye on some things. I really don’t belong here. ☹️

When I buy anything from the grocery store, I look for Product of Canada, this means it is entirely, or almost entirely, Canadian content (98% or more). I also buy locally made products, products from the UK, Australia, Scotland etc. #Canada Read the labels carefully. www.cbc.ca/news/marketp...

New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt on having ICE at the Canadian border. “We see what’s happening in their country. And it makes us all very, very uncomfortable. There’s nothing that we recognize in our neighbours right now, with the leadership that they have." Canadians no longer trust the USA.

I’ll admit it. I didn’t realize just how devastating a curse “May you live in interesting times“ really was. #InterestingTimes

Donald Trump is using the Donbas playbook to get revenge on Canada. We need to shine a light on the dark American money and interference that is driving the quisling crew in Alberta. This is not a game. My interview with @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_qM...

I need to sit down for a minute. I just got back from grocery shopping & I’m suffering from a moderate case of sticker shock.

Heckuva game, but I wonder why the #NYJets can’t seem to find a QB like #Darnold?

I woke up this morning wishing I was back in 1985.

Post a female character you love

Currently watching Travel Man S1E4: Marrakech. I spent Christmas week 2024 in Morocco. Not Marrakech, but still… The “visiting the tannery” bit is bringing back some very specific (and smelly) memories.

I’m not sure why, but when I open up Reddit in a browser without signing in, r/bald is pretty prominent for some reason. #shouldIBeConcerned

I couple of weeks ago I got it in my head to write a “Starship Troopers/Saving Private Ryan” #SciFi version of a D-Day type battle. I have no idea yet whether it’s going to go anywhere or be worth pursuing, but it does have the word #tattoo in it. #WIPSnips #WriteSky

Another #WIP from my 1/2 finished, unnamed sequel to “Shadow Of Horizon” Jensen learns of the crisis that sets the story in motion. #WIPSnips #Activity #WriteSky #SciFi

Iceland at Davos yesterday:

Still waiting on that 10th drop.

As a former musician, when a band I like asks me to “please share,” I share.

I got a PencilPro for Christmas & yesterday I got around to using it on my iPad to start a new story I’d fleshed out but wasn’t too keen on doing the work to write. I checked this morning & I wrote 800 words in ~2 hours, which would have taken me much longer on the iPad keyboard. #GameChanger

Hmm... #Libby sent me a 'skip the line' version of a book on my hold list. Problem is, it's 72 chapters and 'skip the line' versions are only loaned for 7 days. #WishMeLuck

Just got a call from my little girl to tell me that she was selected to work on a Bronze Age archaeological dig in Italy this summer as part of her degree studies. Proud of her!

Hey! Look at that! #Shetland is on! Chanel 871. S3E2.

I gotta say, realtor.ca not giving me the option to filter out timeshares when I’m searching for condos is some bullshit. #IMHO #enshitification

This morning I discovered I’m out of milk. I just got back from Safeway with $50 worth of snacks and drinks so I have something to nosh while I’m watching the hockey game later tonight. Guess what I didn’t get?

Remembering that time I paid $50 to select the seat I wanted on a flight, then got to the airport and was told “The flight is overbooked so we changed your seat.” And I said “Can I have my $50 back?” And they said “LOL, no.” #SuperVillainOriginStory

#WJHC A Dale Hunter-coached team losing its composure when facing adversity? Yeah, that tracks. #CAN-CZE

#WJHC I gotta say, I’ve never seen a double penalty shot called before. #CAN-CZE

#WJHC I don’t know guys, I think this #Parekh kid might know a thing or two about hockey.
