It's Friday the 13th, of March, and it's -27c. I am so over winter.

All the individuals responsible for @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com Midnight, and Housing, should get a hefty bonus. I haven't enjoyed playing this game, this much, since I started in the original open beta in 2004. I wish wasn't playing on a potato and could enjoy the distance scenery more! #wow

We live in a weird bubble that radar can literally never see. We got at least 8" of fresh snow, most of it last night, and the app just kept saying "snow expected," with the radar showing nothing coming down, though it was SW/NE of us. Happens every snowstorm. #abstorm @weathernetwork.bsky.social

"When Big Things happen on such a large scale, it’s easy to forget sometimes that these Big Things are also happening to the little things in the world, too." Quote from Dungeon Crawler Carl by @mattdinniman.bsky.social

It's interesting that the same people who scream about their 2nd amendment rights - the right to bear arms (with the idea to protect against tyranny) are the same people who are just fine with watching tyranny happen.

As an American living in Canada, who hasn't been back to the US in 14 years and would not cross that border for any reason, this still hurts. NCLB was the start of the downfall, so I really only had my childhood to know a promising America, but it hurts. The lost potential of an entire nation...

Alberta separatists are the single stupidest people in Canada. The UCP has done nothing good and lasting for education, employment, or healthcare, and these absolute imbeciles think the same people can run Alberta as a country. They're letting foreign actors brainwash them. Morons.

His handlers finally told him how @mark-carney.bsky.social absolutely destroyed him at Davos.

Well. An improperly latched gate + crazy wind + a husky with adhd style hyperfocus and an insane prey drive = our last 4 chickens dead. She left them lined up in a row, heads all bent the same direction. 1 has a puncture mark, otherwise, no mess. She's a freaking serial killer! 🤪

No, sis, I won't be visiting the US. It turns out white people aren't safe from ICE, either. The cognitive disconnect of people who see that video and think she was doing anything but trying to get away, is terrifying.

So all the drama surrounding "the files" and I'm still wondering why a hacker group hasn't gone in and just taken/released them. Are all the hackers capable of taking on that level of security already on the payroll (or been bought off)? What a time to be a alive when you want the pirates to win.

@support.blizzard.com I wanted to add a video to my bug report but can't easily do that. I'm so bad at explaining things! Can your team please get this to the team who would do with it what they will? Video: photos.app.goo.gl/dEnF232B86UP... Bug report: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/pla...

Citizenship markers on licenses? I can't wait to get my citizenship to vote again these assholes. What the hell.

I had an ulnar nerve transposition surgery yesterday on my right elbow. I'm right dominant, in a hard cast for 2 weeks. Trying to do anything 1 handed with my left hand is proving difficult 😂 Thankfully my husband took this next week off work! I'll eventually need my left done as well. Aging sucks!

Someone want to tell him that's not how to lead in a free democracy? Oh wait, he's turning the US into a fascist dictatorship. My bad. It's devastating to watch this happen in real time. Where's the files?

This was a sad realization. One of the main resources I use to research medical things is the NIH (US) medical studies. It's not as good as having access to what a doctor would, but it's better than trusting AI and FB. Thanks to RFK Jr, I'm finding myself less trusting; what if it's been altered?

1/ I made the mistake of going down a rabbit hole. It's started on Reddit with a post about @wyden.senate.gov calling out the Epstein money trail. Which somehow led to Facebook. Which led to the comment in this image.

I'm so tired I just screenshot my FB post and copied the text for the alt instead of trying to shorten it for Bluesky 🥱 #husky #dogsofbluesky #dog #tplo #surgery #alberta #canada

3 hours sleep after 2 the night before. My mother had me when she was 43. I know lots of women are choosing to have babies later in life. Hats off to them! I'm 46. I could not do this longer term. My brain feels scrambled, but like the whisk was missing a wire so it was a crappy job... 🥱

Oof, it's been a rough 24 hours. Storm has been crying/whining all day and I got about 2 hours 😴 taking care of her. She's finally starting to doze more so I'll be setting up a nest next to the crate tonight and hope for a little more 💤 #husky #dogsofbluesky #dog #surgery #alberta #canada

My girl Storm had TPLO surgery today and now has a plucked chicken leg and temporary rat tail, and is super f'ed up on anesthesia and fentanyl. #husky #dog #dogsofbluesky #surgery #alberta #canada

It's Prime Day on Amazon so everything in my wish list is jacked up in price and then "discounted" to a couple dollars less than the normal price. Though a few items are more than when I added them. Yes, Amazon is evil. We buy everything we can locally but sometimes it's the only decent option.

💔 When I lived in Idaho (late 90s - early 00s), Coeur d'Alene held events like kkk parades. The whole state is mentally unstable but that city is a hotbed for the crazy to really congregate. Sorry for the mentally stable stuck in that shit hole.

It isn’t customary to give Canada Day gifts, but today I received one. Elections Alberta approved my Citizen Initiative application! Stay tuned for further announcements from our Forever Canadian team. Happy United Canada, everyone!!! #ableg #cdnpoli www.elections.ab.ca/citizen-init...

Both my younger sons want to join the Canadian Forces within the next year or so, but of course Trump had to start a war. Hopefully Carney has the sense to keep Canada out of it. I absolutely despise how much support Trump has. I cannot possibly be the same species as those people.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Waiting for Trump to increase tariffs on Canadian products due to wildfire smoke drifting to the US.

My girl, Storm, needs TPLO surgery, she tore her CCL and her knee wobbles like mine did with the complete MCL repair. Probably be in 2-3 weeks to let inflammation go down, assuming we can afford it 🤦🏽‍♀️

I ordered a cold therapy machine for my knee and it came today, only 2 days from BC (I love that UPS will deliver to our very rural farm, it didn't used to be that way!) and I am In Love. So much more coverage and consistent cold than an ice pack. Can't wait to be healed!

The rather funny story of my knee injury with a bonus Ode to a Gardener's Knee.

One week since the surgery. One week cooped up in the house, hobbling around on crutches. 3 weeks off work. Minimum of 3 weeks to go. Seedlings badly need to be put in dirt, but the garden and greenhouse need work before that came happen.... I'm going a little crazy with cabin fever 🤪

I usually say Gander started with Mike Myers and digital sovereignty—but the real “why” hit me again thanks to an email from Erin, a Canadian mom who just wants a kinder internet for her kids. Posted on our blog (with her permission) gandersocial.ca/blog/en/home...

I don't get the appeal of narcotics for pain relief. They gave me a prescription for tramadol and I spent yesterday in a sleepy, pain filled stupor. Switched to Advil last night and not only can I think again, there's less pain. Maybe cause I'm a redhead? It gave me a rebound migraine too, so fun 🤦🏽‍♀️

Surgery complete! Now the fun really begins lol!

No surgery today; on our way into GP, we get a call that there's no surgeons available Fri/Sat and they'll try to get me in on Sunday. I kind of expected it, but I really want this done so I can get healed and get back to work!

Found out I'm getting MCL and meniscus repair surgery on my knee this Friday thanks to the Husky going after a squirrel about 10 days ago; the combined weight of both leashed dogs took me off my feet and when I twisted to land on my side, my right foot didn't get the message and POP POP 🤦🏽‍♀️

Well that sucked. It just fell, no cats involved. I'd been planning on propagating it to clean up the mess it had become, so I guess it threw itself on the floor to make it happen faster 🤷‍♀️ #houseplants #indoorgardening #plants #greenthumb #growing #monstera #propagation #alberta #canada

Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation ain’t having the separatists rhetoric from Smith or her ilk… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I thought I'd killed the tomatoes and cabbage by using too much fertilizer (first time trying it) but a few thorough flushes and they're mostly happy again. The cats have decided that celery is the next best thing to catnip and will not leave it alone 😂 #vegetablegarden #gardening #gardening #zone3

Being in the heart of Maple Maga means I'm gonna hear a whole lot of separation whining for a while, but idgaf 😂🥳❤️🇨🇦

Just finished binging on Dungeon Crawler Carl by @mattdinniman.bsky.social I'm not a fan of litrpg in general but it was recommended so much by Bobiverse fans that I gave it a try and was instantly hooked. Amazing story, phenomenal narration, and I can't wait for the next book.

April in Alberta is always fun. #abwx #abweather #alberta #canada #dogsofbluesky

I don't post much anymore because 90% of my time is spent dealing with stuff like this 😂 Roscoe (puppy) has been so good for Storm (husky), she hasn't destroyed any toys or gone on "walkabouts" in 2 months ❤️

This is a good watch. Interesting to see farmers realizing they can get further ahead with water needs by helping the endangered fish (more fish=water rules relaxed) Indigenous knowledge & practice shown here is the way. "We are all connected to the land. People in cities have forgotten that"
