‘You're never going to kill storytelling, because it's built into the human plan. We come with it.’ ~Margaret Atwood, art by Jessica Sieskja Albert

The green. ❤️

this wise, bunny wizard will lead us safely to the weekend

In this house, we believe: - love is love - science is real - all forests are haunted - burritos are health food - reading & sleeping are noble pursuits - moss & magic make a happy home

The Chase of the White Mouse, John Anster Fitzgerald, 1864. #FaerieFriday

This is really very sad. RIP.

Giuffre was among the first victims to speak out publicly against the financier.

I don’t have the dedication to do 20 days, but I’ll share this classic for a Friday night. youtu.be/x1JrRwKeAP4?...

President Volodymyr Zelensky: “The Russians have always wanted – and still want – the destruction of the United States. This is the policy of the Soviet Union. We are fighting for your rights as well as our own.” (Kyiv Post)

Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security

The US voted for “Change”. Just saying. Be careful what you wish for.

‘SINNERS’ is tracking to earn around $35M domestically this weekend, a 27% drop. This would be one of the lowest drops ever for a major movie in modern history. Read our review: bit.ly/SinnersDF

My TikTok feed is usually full of thrift shop finds, home improvement DIY's, and babies laughing. My recent scroll was full of pro Poilievre Tik Toks that I had to keep scrolling past? 🤔 But conspiracy theorists say they don't trust mainstream media?? No wonder this world is going to hell.

It's pizza Friday. 🍕

It's hard to ignore assholes when they're in your face screaming profanities, but the best thing you can do in these situations is ignore the idiots, smile, clap your hands and repeatedly shout out #Carney! Don't give the alt-right loons the reaction & attention they desperately crave.

"As soon as it became apparent items like the 1670 charter would be up for sale, archival institutions, governments and historians started voicing concerns that significant pieces in the collection would become inaccessible to the public" www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/202...

It's April 25! Happy "perfect date" day!

#BREAKING: Justice Maria Carroccia has declared a mistrial in the case against 5 former world junior hockey players accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2018. The stunning and rare move comes 3 days after a 14-member jury was chosen to hear the case. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wth?

Carny, like Trudeau, stood and faced questions from the media. He didn't leave or ignore them. His goons didn't try to push out the media for doing their jobs—even if it was mole hill into a mountain of an issue. He faces questions. He faces accountability in front of the cameras.

Forecast high for Manitoba today is 16°C. I’m already sitting in my chair with a hand fan.

Hear no evil, hear all evil, hear some evil.

All this hand ringing about Carney not telling the world that the narcissist clown said (again) he wants to make Canada the 51st state in their phone call. I say Carney was dealing appropriately (& effectively) with a known narcissist. Take the focus off the orange asshole.

I've been busy for a few days so just saw the commercial with the two rich white guys golfing and complaining about having to pay for their children's down payment on a house. 👀 Times are sure tough for those cons.

Elections Canada says some inaccurate info has been circulating on social media about ballot boxes. #cdnpoli

#TheNorthRemembers #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

It just keeps getting weirder... Now the MAGA Pronatalist Movement is going to present a "National Medal of Motherhood” for married women who give birth to 6+ children. What in the Margaret Atwood is happening here?

Heather Rankin says it best: CBC is a lifeline for Canadian artists. No CBC = fewer voices, fewer stories, less Canada. Vote strategically. Save the CBC. #SaveTheCBC #CdnPoli #PublicBroadcasting

Mark Carney asked about Pierre Polievre's plan for encampments. He claims that CPC has imported an American-style solution to the issue. #cdnpoli

'Astronomy,' by James Sant, 1850

Just another indication of how bonkers the US has become. Minnesota Republicans introduce a bill designating mRNA vaccines as weapons of mass destruction. Bill written by a Florida hypnotherapist who says he’s hypnotized people to see through solid objects.

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

This is my favourite version of one of my favourite songs by an Icelandic artist.

I need to make dinner. Again. Every night. Dinner. Who came up with that?

Shout out to everyone else that was wide awake at 3:00 o'clock this morning.

Billionaire Herbert Black of American Iron & Metal is another signature on the full page ad. Never heard of him before today but he's been in the news quite a bit. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just randomly looking up the names of some of the millionaires and billionaires that took out a full page ad in today's @winnipegfreepress.com in supportive of PP. Let me repeat that... Billionaires. (Strangely, I can't get the link to work.)

Life advice for your Wednesday 😀

Putting aside the cons awful far-right policies for just a moment, for a party that’s been *begging* for an election for years to STILL not be able to release their “platform” until 5 days before the election, and THEN have to republish it due to errors, screams complete childish incompetence.

Resistence is NOT futile
