"What's the longest car ride you've been a part of?" When I was a kid, we took a month to drive from northern Ontario to southern California, up the west coast, and back home, camping in a new site nearly every night. My family still reminisces about that summer of '93!

So he's been in this church with her since the days of Sunday School... but didn't bother catching her name in all of that time? And has asked her to be his future wife? Men will do anything but go to therapy, istg

I didn't remember finishing my coffee this morning, but couldn't figure out where I'd left it between various appointments today. Maybe I need a more colourful travel mug? 😄

Because I love zooming in to see what's on your bookshelves, here's the bookshelf in my counselling office. What would you add? I've mostly listened to audiobooks recently, so am gradually trying to stock hard copies that I recommend for clients.

Thanks to my Mum having a VHS movie catalogue membership in the '90s, and being on mission to introduce us kids to the classics.

Let's talk Bible translations! 📖 Has anyone read the NRSVue (updated edition) Bible? If so, what do you think of it? I just learned of it when looking for a new Bible, and hear it's more gender-inclusive and has more culturally accurate translations of typical clobber passages. +

I think we should have Weekend Savings Time. Permanent three day weekends.

It's really messed up that companies can openly bribe political parties. There's gotta be a way for individuals or companies to contribute to a political party they support, but without the party knowing who gave them $$$ and what they want for it. Let lobbying be about ideas, not bribes.

Thanks for all your ideas & encouragement when I was overwhelmed! The girls had so much to do that they ran out of time, but thankfully a few are sleeping over so the fun can continue! I hosted big birthdays before COVID, & had forgotten how fun it can be. But now I need to sleep for a week!

The problem with deciding to bake a dozen mini cakes is that they take about 12x as much time to decorate as one regular cake. They are super cute though, so I can assure you I did not learn my lesson. And since Pinterest is overrun by AI, you folks get to see them! +

“Guys, the beach is open. The only thing prohibiting landing are Germans firing from machine gun nests. It’s open if they stop doing that”

What would you do if you found out your 14yo's dad was locking him out of the house for the night in the dead of winter, when he's broken curfew? Neither my lawyer nor the school social worker are concerned. +

Welp, I was hoping the snowy weather outside would help me focus on all the work I need to get done inside today, but really I just want to curl up in a cozy blanket with a book by the fireplace that I wish existed in my house.

My daughter just broke her arm, days before her much-anticipated birthday pool party 😩 So now that I'm sleep deprived from a night in emerg + time change + running out of caffeinated coffee this week, I'm looking for easy party ideas for a dozen 12yo girls at my house this weekend?! +

Generative AI will never be able to do research like a PhD student. It will never have that level of self doubt or the urge to take up unrelated hobbies.

My kid is learning to fold origami along with Art for Kids Hub, so now I'm feeling nostalgia for the best parts of those early pandemic days, doing school at home. While I abhor most influencers using their kids on YT, the interactions between Rob and his kids are so delightful & wholesome.

"In the name of cultural unity, all members of society shall live in identical boxes with beige walls and utilitarian furniture. Art and entertainment shall be banned. For clothing, wear mass-produced one-size-fits-all robes. Any pursuit of creativity is cause for expulsion", or something like that?

I'm afraid I'm not very enthusiastic about: * Trade deals with human rights abusing regimes, which may drag us into an illegal war * Our PM making deals for Brookfield, Cameco, and oil companies * Tax cuts for the rich and selling off public assets to attract investment

They couldn't even give us a full 24 hours for International Women's Day

My hottest mental health take: A lot of depression and anxiety is situational, and warranted, because people live in shit circumstances. They’re poor, without resources, etc. and the reason it’s become popular to blame “mental health” is because it’s a way of evading responsibility.

Standard time, all the time plzkthx. Arizona and Hawaii have it right!

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

I am not in a BlueSky Bubble. I was a home-schooled pastor's kid, was married to a rightwing conspiracy theorist, and live in a small town in Alberta.

Looking for recommendations of an honest but astute way to respond when asked, “How are you?” 1st idea: Them: “How are you?” Me: “You remember the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan”? Ideas?

Taking the Lord's name in vain is less about saying "OMG" and more about claiming He ordained you to bomb a nation, including a girl's school, with "maximum lethality"

"I asked Grok / ChatGPT /Gemini / Claude / Copilot..." leads me to ignore whatever statement you make next. Argumentum ad Grokum is a fallacy.

Just released: A new way my toddler tried to kill us! (It's a good thing I'm already in the habit of sifting my flour!)

In a world of PP's, be a Wab. The world needs more Wabs. 🧡🌎🧡🌏🧡🌍🧡

Giving the wealthy money will benefit the economy (à la trickle-down economics), but giving the poor money has no economic benefit? People in poverty are more likely to directly cycle 'handouts' straight back into the economy for necessary goods & services, rather than hide it off-shore.

Little do people know, Katy Perry was actually singing to Alberta's weather.

I just found out my nephew, who's doing a DTS program based in Europe, is currently travelling in Egypt 😩

PSA: Is it time to change your furnace filters? This is what happens when 3 months somehow become 3 years 😬 I've just bought a bulk pack of filters and set a reoccurring reminder in my phone, so we should hopefully be breathing cleaner air from now on!

My phone's been a bit sluggish lately. Couldn't possibly have anything to do with the 40,000 photos and videos I've accumulated over the past year and a half, could it?
