Berton wanted to tell everyone that my first history book, Canada's Main Street was released back in May. It is available in most bookstores, at your local library, online and through my publisher Sutherland House Books 👇 sutherlandhousebooks.com/product/cana...

Me, watching the first two episodes of The Residence: "Who is that? He's so famiar. Is that ... ? Is it ... ? Is that Balki Bartokomous?"

🌱 I know it doesn't look like much at the moment, but my philodendron billietiae is beginning to push out its very first new leaf since I brought it home! I'm so excited! #PlantSky #PhilodendronBillietiae #NewGrowth

White Americans, do what you can to ensure everyone who has the right to vote also has the opportunity. Not everyone has ypur privilege, use it for good. #USPoli

Autism is genetic. It is not caused by Tylenol. Autism does not need to be cured. Don't believe a word out if Trump's mouth.

I sincerely hope this is how everyone feels about the Jimmy Kimmel/ Disney+/ Hulu situation. Stay cancelled, folks. They may have brought Kimmel back, but they still don't care about you. It's only about the $$$$. #Kimmel #BoycottDisney

The mother of a missing youth in Edmonton is appealing to the public to continue to support her efforts to find her son. Alanna Joseph spoke to the community and reporters at the volunteer led search command post for Samuel Bird in an Edmonton park.

Homophobes DESTROYED her house…so she had an idea 👏😂🏳️‍🌈

And yet...

Who mocks Wikipedia? It's great.

Canadians need to come to terms with this, too. We are not safe in this political climate.

🌱 One day this plant will have leaves two or three feet long, and I'm going to do an update tagging this picture of my baby philodendron billietiae for comparison. We will all marvel at the stunning growth. The biggest leaves are at 9" currently. #PlantSky #PhilodendronBillietiae #Philodendron

These are dangerous times, and getting worse by the day. Do not stand by silently. Do not give up without a fight.

🌱 I recently went to a plant swap and my new leafy friends are now out of quarantine. Yay! These are a few of them. To give my plants the best chance of surviving the winter, many are going into community pots. Plant details in alt text. #PlantSky #Repotting #PlantChores

🌱 Hey, plant people. It's been three months since I did an Alocasia Stingray update. There has been a lot of growth. I moved them from their lettuce container to a pot a few months ago and they're loving life! For full view and details, click image and check alt text. #StingrayAlocasia #PlantSky

Are you heading out to a Draw The Line protests this Saturday? #CdnPoli #DrawTheLine #Canada

I don't know about you, but it doesn't sit right with me, in this state of political instability, to depend on or spend money on military purchases from the US. The American government, and therefore the American military, cannot and should not be trusted. #CdnPoli #CdnUSPoli #Canada

Well, I got locked out of my account for a month and was encouraged to see that Epstein was still trending when I got back in. Release the Epstein files.

"Only" 31%? I'm sorry, but from the outside looking in, that is still far too high. Do Americans not get the same news as the rest of the world, or do they just not understand?

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car. BIG crowd of people shouting at police. "Fuck you!" "What is wrong with you!" "You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped. Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

This "Elbows Up" Canadian needs your help. As I've been the primary caregiver to an aged & ailing parent, I've been unable to work. Trips to Dr's, specialists, & Emergency has made a "normal job" impossible. I'm trying my best, but failing. If you like books, please consider one of mine. Thank you.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Since birth control became free in 2023, IUD prescriptions soared nearly 50% — a clear sign that when cost barriers fall, autonomy rises. 💥

I am quite happy with my go-to roasted Brussels sprouts recipe, but this sounds tasty enough for me to consider a deviation from my usual practice!

The US State Department has nerve to criticise other country's human rights issues right now as they descend into fascism before our very eyes. I'm not saying the UK doesn't have issues, but the US should be taking care of their own business right now. monitor.civicus.org/watchlist-ma...

Les déchets plastiques devraient doubler d'ici 2050. Nous devons limiter leur production dès maintenant. Le Parti vert réclame des mesures audacieuses pour protéger nos océans, nos communautés et notre air 🟢 🌊 #ActOnPlastics

Plastic waste is on track to double by 2050. We need a cap on production now. The Green Party is pushing for bold action to protect our oceans, our communities, and our air 🟢 🌊 #ActOnPlastics

Fundy Geological Museum is closed until further notice. Hopefully, this will be short-term. In the meantime, we are fortunate that Nova Scotia has many other wonderful museums you may be interested in visiting! Check out @novascotiamuseum.bsky.social for details. #NovaScotia #NovaScotiaMuseum

Doug Ford is a constant letdown. #OnPoli #Ontario

"If only [Adam and Eve] preferred figs, we might all still live in Eden" as a line goes insanely hard for an article about bugs dying in fruit

“Those who have direct, frontline knowledge of what it’s like to receive or provide healthcare on a regular basis are rarely heard from,” Brishti says of traditional health reporting, adding that she wants to prioritize a “trauma-informed, worker and patient-centred approach to reporting.”

It's stories like these that make me glad I'm old and that death will come sooner rather than later. This world is not for me. I don't understand how the masses don't seem to see a problem with AI and the constant use of it. It's changing our brains and using too much water. I don't like it. #AI

This must be both devastating and frightening in such a small community. Three suspicious deaths in a 9-day period in Port Alberni, BC #BCNews #PortAlberni

“Studies like this one provide evidence that we should make programs like Stay Strong a part of our health care system. Structured, properly resourced exercise interventions can provide similar benefits compared to chemotherapy, with fewer adverse effects ..." #ColonCancer #CancerResearch #UNB

I really and truly regret ever posting a profile pic here. All I want is my steaming mug on a blue background that I used when I first joined BlueSky, but for some reason, that option was no longer available to me. :(

With working class support drifting toward Conservative populism, Canada's unions need a bold, united strategy that speaks to all workers, or they risk losing their voice in shaping the country’s political future.

So the fire bombers had to briefly stop fighting yesterday’s wildfire because some dingbat was flying their stupid drone over the blaze, so if you see any amateur drone footage from yesterday posted online, report it. #Halifax #HaliSky #NovaScotia

Forever Canadian volunteers are heading to Medicine Hat. (No alt text in Image, so I've transcribed below) "Medicine Hat Sign the petition to keep Alberta in Canada Thursday, August 14th 10:30 am to 4:30 pm In front of City Hall 580 1st Street (on sidewalk) Forever-Canadian.ca" #Alberta #ABPoli

You know what would actually reduce crime and homelessness? Universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing and a basic living wage. When people have their most basic needs met, they have happier and healthier lives. Those hoarding the wealth don’t want to give us those things.

Give us more powers to breach Canadians' Charter rights, police demand. We can't do our jobs unless we're allowed to violate your rights!

Evacuation order for parts of Cowichan (They were just talking about the smoke on the radio and were assuming it was being blown in from the other side of the mountain but looks like it went over the mountain from Alberni Valley to Cowichan Valley)

I love this, too!

Huh, well, I just looked it up, and it's true. Who knew?

Connect with your community now. You need each other more than you know yet. #USPoli #CommunityBuilding #FightFascism

I've been told I'm one of those "blue-haired cat ladies..." They also love to tell me it's aposematism, which is hilarious because aposematism is used by some animals to ward off PREDATORS. They're always telling on themselves. lol

Do not operate drones in a wildfire area. It is illegal. It can interfere with our firefighting efforts. The fine is $25,000 under the Forests Act, there could be fines under federal legislation as well.

Elon Musk’s net worth dropped by $75 BILLION in 2025. He lost more than the combined GDP of Iceland and El-Salvador, & he’s STILL the richest person in the world. Our system is broken. TAX THE DAMN RICH!
