Hi Bluesky. I thought I would introduce my new kitten Oscar.

I love that more kids will have access and that the show doesn’t have to end.

Don’t forget to vote at advance polls #canada #elections #vote if you are at home this weekend. Today, Sunday and Monday 9am to 9pm.

I’m in Canada so I had to find a way to see this film released in February. It happened today. My friend @maddiecorman.bsky.social is raw, vulnerable and she teaches us all that through her accidental bravery through a betrayal of her very soul- she’s coping and growing and educating. ❤️ see this 🎬

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.

@maddiecorman.bsky.social I finally have access to #AccidentallyBrave movie. Watching now ❤️☺️

Did some spring cleaning today and now eating pizza and watching #ZeroDay. Interesting show.

the feminine urge to

Trump is a disgusting human. My heart is with Ukraine.

Ontario has one job today #Vote

Something happened a month ago and now airplanes are having disaster after disaster and near miss after near miss. HMM. 🧐.

It’s #pinkshirtday for #antibullying. Let’s commit to do better at protecting our students and our workplaces from #bullies. My students are all cultures, religions, gender diverse. Being safe to learn is what matters. Being safe to be yourself so you can learn is critical.

Just had someone deny that there were children buried at Indian residential schools after I pointed out that David Frum is a denier. Here are 14 sites where bodies were found. Not just GPR disturbances. Actual burial sites/graveyards. This is from the Special Interlocutor's final report.

#GoodTrouble

Proudly voted for @tylerwatt.bsky.social today during advance polls. Here in Barrhaven you can vote at #walterbaker or #minto recreation and it takes about 5 mins.

Productive Saturday morning. Went to watch my niece play hockey - they won! ☺️🏒 Then off to #vote for change in #Ontario at advance polls. Finally the library for French readers for my tutoring students

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

Please, please, please take a minute and read this, and then share it. This is the guy driving the Trump agenda and Project 2025 - the ideology behind it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_...

This Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

Ok Bluesky who has recently been to #Tulum and what excursions are must do for 50 somethings with sore knees? #Mexico #sunwing #March

I am thrilled I am not an American. Let’s ensure Canada stays a democracy. #vote

I love many Americans and many US products. However as a Canadian now in a trade war because of Trump I have to say as much as possible 🇨🇦 first. My entire life we have been best friends. That doesn’t matter to 🍑🤡

As a 50% black woman I say

We are now at war with the USA. And it’s completely unnecessary and unacceptable. My dollars will be spent in places that don’t use US currency until 🍑🤡 is removed. #tariffs #Trump

Slowly and surely I am finding all my people here. The bird app is going so soon. Happy Friday all. 🦋

@wilsoncruz.bsky.social I just found you here and am So glad I did☺️.

Anyone else notice they get sick after a visit to the dentist? Clean teeth but feels like pneumonia…🤦‍♀️

Today is #MLK day. Let’s strive to build a world he envisioned.

My first LEGO kit. #STEM. @lauren7311.bsky.social is my husband and he’s teaching me how to build. On to Bag 2 of 3. Oh and #primeval #netflix episode 3 is on TV. #SaturdayNight.

Hi Bluesky. This Ottawa gal is looking to follow awesome people who are interested in the terrific life we have here in 🇨🇦. I am 54, happily married 27 yr I’m bilingual and I love traveling, reading and good tv. I have 3 nieces and Elon, 🍑Ford and PP make me 🤦‍♀️. Follow for GenX diverse content.

We went to see #seinfeld and #gaffigan last night here in #Ottawa. Laughed ourselves silly. #shenanigans2025.

Cleaning house this afternoon, ready for back to the routine tomorrow. It was a great 2 weeks and as usual I wish I had a few more days. But once I get with my students it will be ☺️

Was hoping the battery operated Christmas lights would hold on til tonight. Sadly they did not. 🤣. Our ladies night will still be festive. Tonight we party- tomorrow we un-decorate.

My heart breaks for #NewOrleans this morning.

#JimmyCarter was truly a class act. A good man. He exemplified what decency and service look like.

Had a wonderful Christmas with the Ottawa and Toronto sides of the family. This week is for relaxation- reading, TV, catching up with friends.
