We are, all of us, stardust, held together by love, for an instant. - The Dragon Prince

Taxes.... 🫤

Hey Danielle Smith. Sit down and shut up. Too bad she won't get this message.

Huh. Apparently Environmental Working Group (EWG) Healthy Living App is no longer available "in my region" ...

Monday. Two kids at home and a full day of work... Wish me luck.

I hate how headlines are saying Alberta wants to separate. Around 85% do not want this, it's a small loud minority.

Work marathon is almost done... Major deliverables going in for leadership review tomorrow so it's time for one "last" clean up before comments roll in. Grant applications are time consuming! But here's to hoping for development of Canada's north.

This is good news. Please repost and share with friends on other platforms. Hopefully Elections Canada will have a handle on interference and misinformation during the election campaign.

A Greenlander created their own Anti Maga hat & I want one! Greenland protested Vances wife's charm "visit" as an act of aggression by the US with signs saying... "Yankee Go Home!" I stand with 🇬🇱 Greenland !!

Oh no, I just realized I worked from 6:30 AM until 9 PM. Took 10 minutes for a HIIT ride on my CAROL bike, 10 minutes dog walk, 35 minutes of dance break, and 15 minute coffee break. Ate while working...

This Friday night is filled with work... But with hopes to have a future project northern Canada and reduce diesel consumption by interconnecting some communities presently fed by diesel.

Late winter and early spring feels a lot like fall here, so we made pumpkin pie waffles (using butternut squash from Mexico)

I listened to Finding Mastery podcast on free will, and it really got me thinking. We don't have as much free will as we think. Ways to increase free will: - calm emotions - satisfy needs on Maslow's pyramid - mindset work - look for nuisances - consider history of rules and motivations

I'm disappointed about the allegations, but I've owned this for a while, and the stories and imagination are so rich, and horrific. My body is recovering from something, maybe allergies+viral. #rest #read

Went to the forest 🌲 Crisp, cool, snow. Magic ✨

Health in Canada: a pivotal political moment. Canada must fiercely defend the integrity of its cherished universal health-care system. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... via @thelancet.bsky.social

Wonderful news in hard times. Against Malaria was my 2025 choice charity as well because of high dollar impact. #givewell #10%pledge #givingwhatwecan

European Union retaliates against Trump's 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum with countertariffs on €26-billion worth of U.S. goods, beginning with €8-billion April 1. Includes U.S. beef, bourbon, motorcycles, etc. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Joy is watching as seeds germinate.

I was horrified to find out today that some small power systems use starlink. Horrified, because what if Elon decided to turn it off or Trump wanted to use it to make a deal. 😱

It only March 9th, and we've generated more than for all of February. Oh, also it's snowing again today 😅 #solarpower #residentialsolar

I knew measles was much more contagious than COVID, but I didn't realize it starts out with flu like symptoms and the rash begins after. This is one where people just need to get #vaccinated Skip the flu shot if you want, not this one.

Ugh allergy seasons strikes. Itchy ears, congestion, but the worst for me is non-restorative sleep, and fatigue and triggering of asthma.

I already didn't shop on Amazon. I think I stopped the last time Trump was in power and never went back. If I can do it as a engineer-mom of two, so can you. Look to purchase direct, local, etc. Many places have online shopping. Easy. Done. Values aligned.

In again, another example of corporate enshittification: Campbell's Soup, which isn't Canadian and is not produced in Canada has put maple leaf symbols on their cans. SPECIFICALLY to confuse consumers. The maple leaf is not a protected symbol, they just...decided to add it. #canada #BuyCanadian
