On Sir David's birthday.

Canada is ranked 1 in education, 3 in safety, 4 in justice, 4 in overall best country. We are not a broken country. We have not suffered a lost decade. Our existence is in the balance. Vote.

"It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. . . . If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." - Pope Francis

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

We’ve got an orange banner, y’all! 🥳

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

How about this song (granted it's been slightly Updated but I love it!) youtu.be/dDINKPZ_9-0?... I

Elbows up, Canada.

O Canada, our hearts beat with yours ❤️ This will hurt. But we'll use our collective pain to become more resilient, creative & innovative. We won't cry about it—we'll learn from it & grow stronger. To friends, we're as sweet as our maple syrup; to bullies, we're as strong as our timber. Read more:

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

BREAKING: France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain & UK sign a joint statement vowing to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty & demanding a role in the peace talks. This is leadership. It’s also unprecedented. A western alliance is having to form against a new, twin & united threat: Trump & Putin.

@christyobalek.bsky.social I didn't realize you were 'here' Yay!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It's been a day of advocacy. The city of Edmonton made a feeble attempt to clear some snow and ended up piling it on the sidewalk making it even less accessible for my wheelchair. Then I had a local service dog team reach out because they were denied access on the train. This needs big barks.

I'll get Ripley's photo, but it won't be easy.

Shameless plea: I'm 2 sales away from ending the year on a nice round 00 number of sales. I think this would mean more to me than the sales themselves. Please... www.ForgedMettleJewelry.com #BSNM

I posted this on X too… it’s not doing nearly as well there

All the Liberals or NDP need to do is make this a television commercial and Youtube ad RIGHT NOW.

I don’t benefit from the dental program or $10/day daycare I don’t need the Canada Child Benefit & I already have coverage for diabetes medicine should I need it I vote in favour of these things because it’s not just about me Being Canadian means caring about all Canadians

Lots of time left for you to make this...

Yup.

Hey #yeg Please keep an eye out!

This is our newest arrival. I found him on the streets absolutely broken yesterday. He had given up. I’m very hopeful we can help him recover and give him hope again. I called him Pedro. His life is already improving (1/5) 🧵

Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms such as you have named … but a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot. ― Robert A. Heinlein

The last 5 months have been really rough... (And I've not been around much). But I have kept crocheting! Super simple, blissfully mindful to help me veg. Scrappy baskets for a sanity win :)
