People love to hate on Meghan. She kept her rings on, had her nails done, and wasn't wearing gloves when prepping her turkey I have never worn gloves to dress a turkey, rarely take my ring off. The difference is, I'm not working in a restaurant..and neither is she. Leave the poor woman alone

"Students aren’t being taught to think more deeply but to prompt more effectively." Education has been heading downhill for decades. Students aren't taught to learn, they're taught to pass a test. This leaves out dozens of kids in each class who don't/can't learn in a cookie cutter way 1/3

While I can see how this seems adorable, "my kid was worried about my marriage and sat us down to a sermon", this is not healthy. Kids should never be the reasonable party in a marriage. I feel so bad for this kid (now 25) who felt the need to parent his parents about their issues :(

Gender affirming surgery has been happening for decades. It's only when media began to focus on trans people that "issues" cropped up teenage boy getting gynecomastia (breast reduction) because having breasts makes them uncomfortable (that's gender affirming surgery!) 1/2

Finished a book last night and it ended on a bombshell! I knew it was too late to start a new book but my brain decided to not cooperate. Finally around midnight, after tossing for hours, and my brain recalling the last 10 mins of my book...I started the next one. Now I'm on 4 hrs sleep and am 🥱

This is such a tricky topic. On one hand, kids shouldn't have to even think about beauty standards On the other hand, hygiene is important to start early, and good habits (sunscreen, washing face properly) is important. Copying mom and her beauty routine isn't new The marketing on this is critical

Scented products trigger migraines for me. Debilitating ones. Hospitals and schools have had "scent free" policies for years. Decades! But if they aren't upheld, it's meaningless. At work, it's considered an OH&S issue 1/2

Did hell just freeze over?? Do I agree with Ford? Who would have thought...then again, a broken clock is right twice a day Driving impaired is stupid and asking for child support from someone who did the stupid thing is a basic thing Go Ford?

If you have to use the Notwithstanding Clause, you're probably in the wrong Gender expression is a part of freedom of expression, that goes for children too Gender affirming care is vital. It's not just for kids who are at odds with their sex v gender 1/2

A perfect example of #TimHouston rage-baiting NSians This wasn't a judge saying people can never wear poppies. It is in a judge's purview to prohibit them if it would create a bias. Judge's are protecting your right to a bias-free trial Houston is fear-mongering to get more votes

The standard monthly rate for 2 people with 2 or more dependants from income assistance is $1,072. The average monthly cost of a 1 bedroom apt is $2000. Where are people supposed to get the other half of rent, let alone food? hygiene products? clothing for the kids? (or adults?)

My dad dressed as a teenager and my brother was sick-seven 😂 love Halloween

AI is not the answer to all of our problems. It's only as accurate as the data it uses, which is the same data CRA employees have access to but don't use. Trust in the CRA has plummeted, and relying on AI to fix its issues is only going to make things worse

@hfxgov.bsky.social and #NovaScotia alerts really need to get a different noise for when an alert is cancelled/finished I don't need TWO heart attacks

I have little sympathy for one who says you can't have a whale sanctuary because I own the water there They're not kicking you off your land, they're limiting access to the ocean...which should be for everyone Also, if only a dozen people are against this, it better not fail. NIMBYs are ridiculous

We already know how to lower deaths. Lower speed limits (30km> result in the most survivable pedestrian incidents) Narrow roads (people don't drive as fast when there is less space) Increase other infrastructure (bike/bus lanes) But then people get cranky they can't fly down the road...

Canada Post is not a public service - it's a Crown Corporation. This means that it is like a private business..but owned by the government. There is no rule that says it should be beholden to the people of Canada. This is a problem. It should be treated as a public entity not requiring profits. /1

When you call a government body, you shouldn't expect the info they provide to be accurate Excuse me?! The fact that there is no recourse is abhorrent. If I call a government department, I expect them to give accurate info. It's a minimum expectation

From the ‘Ardmmore’ to ‘Bus Stop Thetre’: The decline of the Best of Halifax By @philmoscovitch.bsky.social

In Canada, we have one-party consent laws. This means that as long as one person is aware (you) you can record conversations. /1

Storm rolling in #Halifax #NovaScotia #Storm

I think we found a tooth! (Hopefully not human! 😱) #NovaScotia #Dartmouth #ConradsBeach

@timhortonsofficial.bsky.social Saw this at my local store. While I can appreciate the request to be patient (should be regardless) Understaffed is almost entirely the fault of management and current pay structures Min wage=min effort So many tell me stores purposefully understaff to save $

Perimenopause is so weird My feet and fingers are freezing But the rest of me is sweating like it’s 40C and my husband is shivering in a winter coat next to me

Jail not Bail has been proven to be ineffective and actually harmful to marginalized communities. Know what helps bring crime down? -Housing -Secure food -Proper medical care (using the US to compare is like saying a bomb isn't dangerous because at least its not mustard gas)

This is... worth watching. [via BBC Video] 🧪🔭🛸 A #Hellfire missile shot from an MQ9 Reaper drone BOUNCES right off an "Orb," also known as a #UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) off the coast of Yemen www.bbc.com/news/videos/... #UFO #missile #defense

Are they looking at vulva v penis or are they looking at the many markers of sex in humans? People have up to 56 different sex markers but that's only determined by blood testing which I doubt is what they're after this is just another way to discriminate Shame on Alberta Govt

Did my 5k today for the first time in weeks! Man I got out of shape fast 🫠

We had a three hour drive home today. After the first hour of the trip I asked my fam (hubs, 16 and 8) for 25 mins of quiet so I could listen to the end of my book. After needing to rewind so much that it was near 40 mins later I gave up Apparently they’ve never been silent a day in their life 🙄😭

Hint: It's not the good guys who ban books "Inappropriate for children" know whats inappropriate for children? racism. homophobia. teaching hate is more than inappropriate but y'all have no issues with that

@hfxgov.bsky.social Needs to adopt similar measures immediately make the NIMBYs uncomfy so we can make real changes that have significant impact, not just on the environment, but to better the regular commute we're all being forced to do with back to work policies

Evil is not the tyranny of the gods. It’s not even the cruelty of life. Evil is the act of apathy; and madness is begging for difference only when you need it. -A Reign of Storm and Madness by Lucinda Dark #Quote @lucindadarkhive.bsky.social

Let's be clear: they're not staying because they want to, but because they HAVE to There is no room in shelters, and even when there are, it's for night hours only their tent is their home. its familiar, which =safe, despite the risks HRM has failed at protecting unhoused folks

It’s a semi cloudy day so of course we lost power 🙄 #NovaScotiaPower #Dartmouth

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

My oldest is staying at his grandparents My youngest is at camp I have until Friday to myself (and my husband) And two days off on either end 🥰 Watch me get nothing done and not be able to sleep 😭😂

I just finished the 7th #ZodiacAcademy book and I’m wrecked 😭😭😭 my husband held me while I sobbed for the last 10 mins of the book And now I don’t have a chance to start book 8 until tomorrow afternoon My reading addiction is getting out of control

AI had (and still may have) the potential to be helpful; catching mistakes and "seeing" things that human eyes may miss but, as most AI is run by corrupt companies (you'll never convince me billion$ companies aren't) they are prone to error

Our councilors are meant to represent the will of the people in their districts. When they're basically forced to bend to the will of a single person (mayor) it erodes our democracy. Some say, "it's just a bike lane" but that's how it starts. little by little until its basically a dictatorship

Decided to treat myself to #KFC popcorn chicken 15 mins and $13 later and it’s like 10 pieces of popcorn chicken Never again 🤬

Anyone who's been on a cow farm for any length of time can see exactly why you need to pasteurize your milk Cows poop and it's not dainty lmao

8yo and I are watching a movie on @cbcgem.bsky.social It has ads They were horrified that they are unskippable ads and he doesn’t even get to see how many there are 😂 His dad said “that’s what happened when I was a kid” “Yeah but that was ages ago” 😂

The 8yo is in the freezer I hear a crash “What’s wrong?” “…nothing. Nothing at all. I got this!” I moved so fast 😂

The thing about freedom of speech (of expression in Canada) is you have the right to say what you want without threat of the govt throwing you in jail it does NOT give you the right to spout racist bullshit and does NOT stop the consequences of your actions/words

8yo quipped to his stay at home dad that he should get a real job. Dad decided 8yo should help out at his “not a job” 8yo just put themself to bed and is sound asleep At 7:10pm 😂 #StayAtHomeParent
