Total cow cookies 💩, that finale was... I was made to invest eight seasons of my life in this stupid show, and the payoff? A big ol’ “interpret it yourself.” Pure storytelling mastery… closure is clearly overrated, right? #tvseries #outlander #writing #TV

RE: https://thecanadian.social/@Luchador/116593127475215747 I’m really glad y’all care about privacy and encryption in Canada, but the flood of notifications literally locked up my phone and I had to restart it. I’ll think twice before I do another PSA 🤣 #privacy #encryption #cdnpoli #billc22

DontSurveil.Me has put together a great explainer on Bill C-22. Canadians need to pay attention. Expanding surveillance powers, retaining metadata, and weakening encryption all threaten privacy, free expression, civil liberties, and digital rights. If we care about privacy, digital rights […]

Unpopular opinion: I’m definitely not a fan of the separatists, but renaming part of 99th Avenue in Edmonton to “Forever Canadian Avenue” feels incredibly cringe and unnecessary political theatre amid the whole independence conversation. Aren’t there more important things to focus on? 🔗 […]

🚨 Attention Journalers 🚨 I used to journal consistently, but lately it’s fallen by the wayside. The desire is still there, but what used to work no longer does. I’m looking for fresh ideas or strategies to help me get back into the habit. I’d love to hear what’s worked for you—please share […]

Peak parenting moment: my ginger teenage daughter asked me to buy her Just For Men beard tint for her nearly invisible eyebrows. Her sales pitch? “You don’t want me looking like a naked mole-rat, do you?” Thanks Instagram. #parenting #familyadventures #redhead #ginger #daughters

Why can writers not seem to quit Substack? Maggie Mertens writes for the Scratch newsletter (hosted and distributed on @ghost) about why she and others feel locked in to the problematic platform, and talks to some who have successfully switched. https://flip.it/n1vmvC #newsletters #writing […]

OK, so the real reason we drove up to Edmonton was to catch Mamma Mia! at the Jube last night. I’ve seen a lot of theatre and Broadway shows over the years, and honestly, this one was a bit underwhelming. The songs were fantastic, but the audio production […] [Original post on thecanadian.social]

Blowing off some steam with the kiddos at the hotel pool before we hit Highway 2 back to Calgary. My completely irrational fear of waterslides has kicked in… maybe it’s the old Mount Druitt Waterworks razor blade legend, or that classic Simpsons episode […] [Original post on thecanadian.social]

“Bring back the snow, Dad — it’s way too warm here. I’m not moving until the snow comes back.” #puppy #dogsofmastodon #spring #dogwalking #yyc #photography #iphoneography

I had to check a Facebook page for work and naturally peeked at my father-in-law’s account, mostly because it says more about where he’s at than what he actually tells us when he reaches out. Over the weekend, he posted this brutal YouTube video —lyrics and imagery so gross it nearly made me […]

This is exactly how my poor puppy feels every time we go for a walk around the neighbourhood — she just wants to chase and catch them all. And Oi, my poor shoulder… #yyc #familyadventures #puppy #Nature #dogsofmastodon
