City of Regina has a new survey out, requesting feedback on the proposed extension of Prince of Wales Drive through a wetland and conservation area.The framing on this survey page contains factual misrepresentations. #yqr #yqrcc (1/5)

The most humbling thing you will read: “When you die — when these organized atoms that shimmer with fascination and feeling — disband into disorder to become unfeeling stardust once more, everything that filled your particular mind and its rosary of days with meaning will be gone too.“

I’ve come to realize, I’m not going to ❤️every novel, even if it is deemed a classic or a Pulitzer Prize winner of literature…I’m not going to connect to every book I pick up + it’s okay if I don’t want to waste my time + finish it. #BannedSkyBookClub #OneHundredYearsofSolitude

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.

Pink clouds with beautiful moon tonight.

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

Thursday’s, for me, are the best day of the week. It holds all the anticipation of the upcoming weekend and the idea of everything fun about to begin. Pre-joy. The fun hasn’t started yet, which means it’s still perfect.

We can never let him forget he said this.

It was so angry and raged all day and night. At what it was angry about I do not know But I could not console it or convince it otherwise. The wind on the prairies in springtime is like no other above or below.

Happy Mother’s Day 💐 to all the beautiful moms, step-moms, grand-moms, aunties, caregivers, and mother figures, who work so hard everyday to make the impossible happen everyday.

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need: -Paid family leave -Equal pay -Universal childcare -Universal healthcare (But get your mom flowers, too)

Canadians are furious at US trade aggression. We’re buying Canadian, redirecting supply chains, talking sovereignty constantly. And yet we’re waving AI companies, the same tech power concentration that fuels all of it, right through the front door. #cdnpoli #aipolicy

Many yrs ago, when I moved to Regina from Vancouver, one of the things I missed was Granville Island. I always imagined someone developing one of the many empty old buildings here as a space like Granville Island. #yqrcc

Ugh, I could have spent my damn afternoon reading a good book! #yqrcc

I’m not a one-book-at-a-time reader. I usually have a fiction and a couple of non-fiction books on the go simultaneously. I know, I need help right. #fortheloveofbooks #BookSky

Another thread that I see in both books is the theme of survival. The creature in Frankenstein is abandoned and has to survive rejection and hostility, #BookSky

When I first read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, which was years ago and then I picked up the book again for last month’s #BannedBookSkyClub , I was thinking about the parallels between The Martian by Andy Weir and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley.

Today,April 25,2026,working at full capacity on the weekend to dig infrastructure for new #AIBellDataCentre Bypass + Fleet St on the outskirts of #yqr These excavators were delivered to the AI data centre site last weekend(April 18-19),before the #RMofSherwood council vote on April 20. #SKPoli

AI companies are running out of land and power in the US, so they’re coming to Canada. To #yqr To Saskatchewan farmland. Powered by coal. Journalist Karen Hao calls this exactly what it is: a new colonialism. Our resources, their empire. We didn’t consent. #SkPoli #AIColonialism

If you are new here and you are just following me, thank you. You also might be a little confused. Like what is she on about? One minute I’m analyzing literature and the next I’m talking a lot about AI Data centres. These two things don’t even scratch the surface of who I am.

English novelist and poet Charlotte Brontë was born #OTD in 1816. Her novel, 𝘑𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘌𝘺𝘳𝘦, was published in 1847 under the pseudonym Currer Bell. She is the eldest of the the three Brontë sisters whose novels became classics of English literature. #litsky #booksky

Book club update: still finishing The Martian, but we did a family movie night with the adaptation and I have THOUGHTS. The film captures so much of what makes the book great: the humour, the science, the spirit of survival. #TheMartian #BannedBookSkyClub

It's National Library Week. Find your joy in the library. Books are joy. #BookSky

DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

“We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.” -T.S. Eliot Four brave individuals just circled the moon for the first time in 53 years. Tomorrow they come home. Safe travels Artemis II.

Just received my copy of The Martian by Andy Weir. It was almost impossible to find a copy that was not a “school edition”. First time reading any of his work. I am looking forward to the discussions on this one. #BannedBookSkyClub #fortheloveofbooks #booksky

Donald Trump’s deranged and contradictory comments on his war with Iran.

NEW: Iran-linked hackers are attacking US critical infrastructure around the country, according to a warning from federal agencies and confirmation from the company whose component is being exploited. @agreenberg.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/iran-l...

NEW: Russian government hackers Fancy Bear used thousands of hacked routers to steal passwords and credentials from espionage targets. Microsoft identified over 200 organizations and 5,000 consumer devices affected in the campaign. Lumen says there are at least 18,000 victims in ~120 countries.

The #aidatacentre that will be located in the #RMSherwood will be 300 MW. It will consume enough power to light up roughly 360,000 Canadian homes continuously, 24/7, year-round. To put that in Saskatchewan context, the entire city of Regina( #yqr) has ~ 100,000 households.

About a third of the world’s fertilizer supply passes through the Strait of Hormuz, and its effective closure is causing shortages and price spikes during the crucial spring planting season. https://to.pbs.org/4tx7eNg

AI infrastructure is significantly warming surrounding areas, creating a “data heat island effect” with the potential to impact hundreds of millions of people living nearby, a new working paper found. #AI #datacentres

The League issued a statement in response to President Trump's executive order, "Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections." We encourage everyone who cherishes democracy to read it. . www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear"

The scariest thing about AI data centres is not the energy use It’s that nobody agrees who’s responsible for what’s inside them + how it’s used. #AI #DataCentres #CdnPoli

There are real American heroes all around us if we pay attention. techcrunch.com/2026/03/24/k...

We need to have an honest, open discussion about the Human Reality of AI Data Centres coming into communities: The councillors sitting on the RM of Sherwood council are good people doing their best for their community.

11,400+ Canadians are raising their hand and saying, wait, we have questions and we want answers. That’s not anti-progress. That’s democracy. 🇨🇦✋ #BellAI #Saskatchewan #cdnpoli
