I didn't set a book goal but apparently I've already read 47 books this year! The longest and best to date is For Whom the Belle Tolls by @sea-ya-later.bsky.social Wonder if I can make it to 50 by month end 🤔

The weather is just wild. We went from 28 to 6 in basically 48 hours. No wonder the lambs didn't gain this week. Thankfully no damage from last night's storm.

I don't think it will happen but I really do hope Canada removes the tariffs on vehicles including EVs. It's not helping anyone. Or invest in public transportation for every corner of the country.

This, you can usually circle a lot of things back to religion among other repeated factors. Just read the thread, it makes more sense than I do.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

My husband, pre-coffee this morning: "is it safe to log onto FB?" Me: "probably not, PP lost his seat and Carney is in the lead." Hubby: "oh dear, I think I'll screen my calls today." There's some very angry people in our acquaintance today.

Car shopping is madness. I don't want anything fancy, I would just like it to be reliable, comfortable, affordable and fit my toddler with all his accessories. Apparently I have to pick 3 out of 4 at best. I currently have a Nissan Versa, I don't exactly have high standards 😂

The issue with tax season and this election overlapping is that I have now reached the stage of "don't care." Yes, I'll go vote. But I don't care anymore, if I hear a certain party leader speak or he's in a headline, I immediately scroll. He's not talking with the media anyway, just his 4 questions.

I really have to remember not to log into FB during an election cycle. The misinformation and disinformation being shared is intense. That's the issue when a big chunk of AG leans conservative and seems to have lost the ability to fact-check anything. #canpoli #agsky

And recognizing neurodivergence helps bring context and understanding to navigating life. I'll probably never have a formal diagnosis but the number of memes, videos and other bits I've been sent by friends and family over the last 5 years "this is so you!" is telling 😂.

While I can’t really speak on the election or talk about parties and policies, I can say one thing: You HAVE TO VOTE. No matter who you are, no matter who you’re voting for, you must get out and actually cast your vote. No voter apathy, no assumptions, just shut up and vote. Thanks kids. 🇨🇦

Reading the news is basically like watching a Wile E. Coyote cartoon at this point. The ending is predictable but the coyote still makes the same choice every time hoping for a different ending.

It's really difficult to get people to understand that no, I don't have time off in tax season unless it's medically necessary. I've planned for this but some understanding would be nice. Just had to explain to the vet why I need consent and payment forms sent to me in advance.

Ice storms are brutal. The sound of the ice rain hitting my windows this morning left me uneasy. Enough that I got up and started journalling. Not turning on my computer today, not worth the risk.

My largest data set is a decade of Ontario live sheep prices. I'm a bit behind on updating it but next project is to map the data over factors like major holidays to see the trends. I have a feeling the trend isn't what we think it is. #agsky #sheepfarming

In Georgia, Russia is testing new ways of takeover, the less costly one than a direct military invasion. With hybrid warfare, electoral manipulation, economic coercion and internal takeovers, Russia can remove governments and replace them with authoritarian projects. 1/

Reminder - Canadians - all social programs in Canada were created by either Liberals, New Democrats and/or both together. Not one social program in Canada was created by Conservatives. PP stated in 2022 we do not believe in social programs / slush funds and has already stated he would cut them.

Now we're heading into the most stressful part of my year... Tax season combined with prime lamb marketing season. So excuse me while I hide in a romance novel in my tiny bit of spare time, I need the escape. I can't even handle podcasts at the moment which is a good indicator of stress to me.

Danielle Smith says out loud what most Canadians fear about Pierre Poilievre: “…but I would say, on balance, the perspective that Pierre would bring would be very much in sync with, I think…the new direction in America,” she added.” #cdnpoli #ableg www.breitbart.com/politics/202...
