Gonna miss you, Norm...

Honestly, these court proceedings updates provide a master class in why women don't come forward. www.cbc.ca/9.6758374

Waiting for the weekend.

What’s the difference between Maxime Bernier and a toilet? A toilet has a seat.

My own Election Day reminders: 1) We don't elect the prime minister so there is no such thing as "PM-elect". If you must, say "PM-designate" or "presumptive PM" OR, if it's Mark Carney, just say "Prime Minister", because he's literally still PM even after the results tonight. 1/n

Still eating onions from last year's garden. If PP is wondering how this is even possible... Not storing in plastic bags is an absolute must... That's for transport and sales. The people who grow food know better.

It's already tick season...

When I was 7 or 8, my BFF and I collected buckets of garter snake "pets" from a hiberniculum on her farm. I was holding one when it somehow bit me... ON THE NOSE! I will never forget that mouth coming towards me or hydrogen peroxide stinging the pin prick wounds across the bridge of my nose.

No need to dye these eggs.

My kids were asking me to draw things for them to colour. My son asked for an Easter Dragon, so here it is. No AI required.

 Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared. 
Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history

A new Liberal government will move forward with 10 new national parks and marine conservation areas along with 15 new national urban parks.

I would love ve to see some more toss ups. It's never good to put all our eggs in one political basket.

If you're in Regina–Wascana, you gotta turn this bright red.

Something I like to do is save seeds and other propagules from year to year. Here are some Dahlias that I have kept for a few seasons now. I keep making more by rooting some cuttings every spring.

A big THANK YOU to all the folks helping us turn #ReginaWascana red! LET'S DO THIS!!!! #skpoli #Sask #cdnpolitics #LetsDoThis

As long as I live, I will never understand why they would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

Thank you to whoever made this

Morgan Stanley says we can now expect a 3°C world... A forecast buried in a report focused on future air conditioning stocks. "When confronted with the probability of hell they are figuring out a way to sell air conditioners to the devil". Hands off...the future open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

I wonder if he thinks this is where MacDonald's keeps it's beef... www.cnn.com/2025/04/03/b...
