The red light green light game Strait of Hormuz version

Saturday morning vibes youtu.be/mrV8kK5t0V8?...

Again, the authoritarianism extremism of the American Republican Party far exceeds that of...Viktor Orban & Fidesz, who just immediately conceded an election without any of the shenanigans, coups, nonstop lies about nonexistent voter fraud, or endless litigation of the GOP after every US election.

Congratulations 🇭🇺!!

❤️ Hungary 🇭🇺 ❤️

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

I'm moonscrolling

Here's the full chute deployment and splashdown of the Integrity capsule containing the Artemis crew (at 1.5x speed to fit within the Bluesky video limit). Welcome home!

Watching again

Now that we're close to $10/day childcare, can we figure out how to support after-school care and summer camps? This stuff is so financially inaccessible....

Me too!

Is there a way to petition that these people stay out of Canada? I certainly believe they have no business in being in our country, weapons or not, and I don't want them here. www.cbc.ca/sports/socce...

You Can Smell It Now: The Trump Presidency Is in Total Free Fall A loyal army of followers, a huge disinformation network, and a party of soul-selling cowards can crowd out facts for a long time. But eventually, reality catches up.

OMG, trying to hide the Easter eggs, and our cat thinks it's a game and rolls them right back out of their hiding place 🤣 #EasterProblems

I went back to capture what the astronauts said in full when the clock was stopped at T-10 minutes and they were asked if they were go for launch: This is Victor. We are going for our families. This is Christina. We are going for our teammates. This is Jeremy. We are going for all humanity.

Artemis II lifts off

Excitement in our house about the rocket launch for Artemis 2. Many firsts: Victor Glover (NASA), first Black person around the moon, Christina Koch (NASA), first woman around the moon, and Jeremy Hansen (CSA), First Canadian around the moon. Inspiring for the kids!

Those folks were singing, for heaven's sake!

Some "light" reading for this week... Well, not that light, but important food for thought @cultexpert.freedomofmind.com

A beautiful, still day and we have a power outage on the Eastern Shore *shakes fist at NSP... Estimated time of restoration approx. 7pm, about 5-6 hrs of outage if they get it back by then.

#NoKings from the arctic in Utqiaġvik, Alaska the northernmost city in the entire USA!

Nothing like a bruised toe (dropped a fire log on it) to realize how much your kids, your dog and your cat love stepping on it 🫪☠️⚡

These people have no self respect or shame or anything left. Just a mere gaggle of boot lickers 🤬🤬🤬

Meanwhile, in Nova Scotia, politicians shut down the legislature because they don't want people to sing when in disagreement with them...

They locked the people out of the legislature because they were scared? They passed the budget in a locked room. We need to talk about feeling safe vs. Feeling uncomfortable. #nspoli

Heads up Halifax and the surrounding area: missing vulnerable child. Missing from an address near 2141 Prospect Rd in Hatchet Lake. If you’re in the area, keep your eyes peeled and call 911 if you see anything worth reporting. Yusif is non-verbal.

This is an absolutely remarkable message for Saint Patrick's Day. Listen and learn 💚

Vile vile vile... I hope they catch every single one of these men that did this bbc.com/news/article...

Hundreds rally outside N.S. legislature for third time in a week to demand ‘new budget now’ By @mmughees.bsky.social

Another sign of spring! The ducks are back in our pond, claiming the real estate they need for raising this year's crop of ducklings ❤️

Seen in the bathroom at the Ferry Terminal in Halifax 🤣🤣

At Province House

On my way to Downtown Halifax to the protest. The Houston government just reversed a quarter of the cuts, which is a relief, but it's not enough. None of the funding they want to take away is frivolous luxury.

It's this cruelty that drives me nuts

Morning walk in Porters Lake

Infuriating

"With just three weeks, people’s lives will simply crash. ...Houston is imposing these drastic cuts immediately because he doesn’t want... & in fact never had that discussion. No one campaigned on cutting the arts budgets, slashing...social safety nets, decimating the civil service organizations"

Nova Scotia's Education Minister, folks. Not exactly making the grade.

We talk about numbers when it comes to the cuts made by the Nova Scotia government, but there are people affected by those numbers. If you're one of the people losing something — a job, a program, a support service, etc. — please reach out. We'd love to share your story. Email: [email protected]
