This isn't good news. 👇

Now is the time to draw inspiration from wherever we can, and stand with workers while they fight the employer-led race to the bottom. www.readthemaple.com/canada-posts...

Israel abducted Canadian citizens in international waters on their way to provide humanitarian aid to a nation Canada now recognizes as sovereign. What is our government doing about it? Sweden demanded the return of its citizens within 24 hours. Canada “urged” Israel to “ensure their safety.”

I have solved the mystery of the autism epidemic: Online dating. Thanks to online dating, autistic people have been able to hook up at increasing rates. We are now populating the world with our double-autistic offspring.

Today is the National Day of Action for MMIWG2S+. Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, Trans, and 2SLGBTQ+ people continue to face systemic violence in Ontario and across Canada. We need full implementation of the 231 Calls for Justice. Read more here: www.mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/

Umm, wow Toronto, how did that happen? #topoli Blue Jays beat Yankees 10-1 to win Game 1 of ALDS. Live updates here. www.ctvnews.ca/sports/artic...

I figured out why I was getting warm so quickly while doing chores. The AC has decided not to work. 🙄 It was very hot out today.

Fireworks? No. A shotgun. Is it hunting season already? They always seem to be too close to town, but the farm fields start 500 meters from my house.

My motivation to do chores has disappeared. I must get up and clean my room some more. Blargh.

Here’s one of those felted circles finished into a brooch

It's important to take breaks while doing household chores. Bailey is napping so I can't move.

So, the minimum official automated speed ticket is only for 11 km/h over the limit, not 1 km and not 5 or 10. And the reason you all think it’s so bad, is because you don’t read the ticket, or pay attention when City Council or Ontario passes laws. #onpoli #topoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/wha...

This is the crux of it. I’d love to not have to lose sleep over Covid. There are literally hundreds of thousands of studies that tell us SARS is bad for you. Show me one (reputable) study that doesn’t.

Gib me the sword!!!!

I knew they’d come for the archivists and librarians but honestly I assumed it would be for a reason better than “Our Special Boy wants to give his friend a sword! Give him a sword!”

Cognitive impairment due to ongoing COVID infections+ perpetual garbage propaganda = bad combination. Who knew?

My dog and me finding Halloween decor. And wild parrots. Another day in the glorious suburbs of Los Angeles. My video isn’t great but that tree was full of wild green parrots munching on something. Some crows joined them. It was cute. Very on point for the season.

It’s a sparkly lake day down here, with a thin layer of mist hanging over the water. Afternoon walksies 🐾😊

I bring an eccentric spinster aunt energy to therapy that the kids seem to enjoy. No expectations, no judgment, just support.

Developed a couple of pictures from Bruges, taken with my 1936 Coronet on 120mm film. I made my own negative mask for digitizing, and have some tweaks to get rid of light leaking around the edges. But I wanted to develop this roll myself and see what I got.

Truly, that's one of the biggest factors often ignored in Gen X critique: just how limited our information base was during the formative years when one is most vulnerable. I'm fortunate I was nerdy af and felt awkward at the club 3 weekend out of 4. So I got into the social web young for an Xer.

I know it’s Caturday, but Sadie wants in on the action.

Rapid increase in the number of unclaimed people too. 😔

LEGO Space Heroine and her dog hope the rest of your weekend is out of this world!

God, we need a break. Can we get a break?

Mug of the day.

Need a bumblebee on a dandelion? You do. Don’t question me on this.

My mom is 93 and her BFF is 91 today. They are in the top 1% of Canadians by age. Amazing they are both still around.

i love going to the store and buying food. i love knowing there's a very low chance the food i buy at the store will make me puke blood. i might go to the store right now just to buy some food with near complete confidence that won't happen to me

I fed Bailey raw dog food for a few months at the breeders recommendation. I hated it. Thankful that no one got sick.

Looks like a Newfoundland dog. They are built for water rescues.

Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Your mission, should you choose to accept it…

Look at this chonky queen. Happy #Caturday from Timber and her majestic whiskers.

The life changing magic of no longer giving a shit

What a beautiful misty morning here on Lake Erie's north shore!

Stunning ❤️

In happier posts, I have a glorious 200 year old ash tree outside my house.

Some things die out with good reason.

#Caturday? What would I want with a cat?
