Getting rid of Diversity, Equality and Inclusion does Not "restore qualification based hiring.” It only restores people's ability to Deny an Equally or even a more qualified candidate based on background, race, ethnicity, gender, identity, religion etc.. But they know this. That's the point.

As I stood there holding the sweater in my hand wondering if I had already worn it this week to work I realized I could not think of a single specific article of clothing that any of my coworkers wear.

It's Nice To Be Disliked (By One Of Those)

Adding a profit portion doesn't count as investment in public health care. #abhealth #abgov #Alberta

SCOOP: Sam Mraiche, owner of the firm that imported meds from Turkey, is a part owner in two private surgical facilities that last year were negotiating deals with inflated rates compared to competitor, according to documents www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... w/ @alannasmith.bsky.social

I once got a fortune cookie with 2 contradictory fortunes inside and just laughed it off, not thinking of the possible consequences to reality. Looking around today at the impact. 😬

I’m outside pruning and someone passing by is talking loudly about red velvet cupcakes, and now all I can think about is red velvet cupcakes.

It was purely speculative that I or any of us really, would be here for 2025. Living that fine line between a good day and heading to the ER, tends to change our perspective on things. The goal remains the same.. be caring, grateful, mindful in the moment. Resist fascists.✊️

There's still time..

Not all light is visible to the eye. People and what we truly see of them is the same.

I’m gonna be the weird lonely old lady with nobody but a few animals. I really want a goat and a donkey. Might have to start a goat fund me.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

it’s hip to be scared

It’s like Mr Rogers said, “look for the Luigis.”

An Alberta homebuilder and a solar installer have built 4,000 energy-efficient homes with 10 solar panels as a standard feature, saving 5,776 tonnes of greenhouse gases annually. www.theenergymix.com/alberta-buil...

The public should understand that we're in what I call the Age of Missing Accountability. Politicians at all levels, oversight boards, professional regulators like the Law Society of Alberta, corporations etc. simply refuse to answer questions from the media.

To be honest, I wish comedy was illegal again, I was making money hand over fist with my humor speakeasy selling watered-down jokes.

Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny. This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today. Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people. Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5q...

Whoa.. For some reason Drivers are lost in a zombie-like state of mind today.. Possibly thinking about the dumbfuckery shit show and the collapse of humanity. Anyway, be safe out there and have a good weekend.

tried to do the heart shape with my fingers and long story short i’m in a gang now

the staff only allows me 15 minutes of thinking time a day because they say too much will make me unruly

Potatoes may not be the answer, but they're a good start.

Stress eating ketchup flavour potato chips and Hawkins Cheezies today.

if anyone could do anything about any of this that’d be so appreciated

Frazzled. This tree gets it. #Photography

Eventually the coffee kicked in and the "Friday" posts made sense. Apparently it's Friday.

Before judging my posts to harshly, remember that we don't have draft folders here. It would be kind of sad to think that posts, like this one for example, might be the result of raw thoughts, initially saved as drafts, later edited and refined to optimal quality before posting.. Enjoy.😕

When someone says "no worries" You can bet your sweet bippi there are many many worries

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. It had mixed feelings about the times.

Sorry I'm late. The jaw unclenching took longer than usual.

I’ve been removed from society far too long to just meander my way back in.

if i've fallen and i can't get up, i may still have a little cake

By the way, if anyone has the slightest doubt that Donald is full of shit about Canadians getting “the best treatment” and “better care” should their country be annexed by the US, I encourage them to note the relative positions of Canada and the USA on this graph.

I take a pile of drugs, and yet nobody has ever put me in charge of a country. Not even a shithole one.

Sure, I escaped reality once, back when I was about 19 or 20. I still can't be sure if I made it back.

Even when you haven't asked a question, rhetorical or otherwise, someone will always feel compelled to answer it.

I escaped reality once. Okay, twice. I do not recommend it.

Sometimes we don't fully know what we think and feel, or what direction we should take until we see what we have written.

Despite what instructions may say, the correct microwave cook time will never end in zero.

How we did it: Texas Won’t Study How Its Abortion Ban Impacts Women, So We Did

"Pardon me, I know you're busy and I don't want to intrude because I appreciate how precious your time is and how busy you are, but if you can spare a moment and only if it's convenient for you.. your food is ready." The opposite of our microwave.

My son had a liver transplant in May of last year. He was able to receive 55% of his salary due to EI sickness benefits. He & his wife and son would likely have lost their home without it.
