When your destination doesn't show up on GPS but you find an old road map in the glove compartment. "It's like, Bob's Road."

I'm bent over the hood of my car searching the GPS on my phone while leaning on a paper road map.

Protests dont work unless they inconvenience the target rather than the public. Marches dont work unless they are drilled, have an occupation objective, as well as meet the requirements already laid out for a protest. Resistance is gunna require more effort and risk, lads.

Calling me a warrior undermines me. Breast cancer, brain tumour, and a lump the size of my head removed from my neck. Dude, let me be sad for five minutes. It's not my job to put you at ease with a happy face. I know you mean well, but just stop. I can be my own cheerleader. #CanSky #OncoSky #Cancer

Waited 65 minutes for my neurosurgeon to join my Zoom appointment at 9:30am. Called the hospital but hung up after hearing, "You are the 8th caller in line". 90 minutes late now...I am thoroughly annoyed. Furious, in fact. 😡 #FuckDougFord #CanSky #OncoSky

Love this conservation.❤️ "Burrowed among the Christmas tree dunes in Lytham St Annes are one of the UK’s rarest reptiles. Hundreds of sand lizards were released into the sandy mounds in 2020, having not been seen in the area for about 60 years, and conservationists say they are beginning to thrive."

The trees also morph into sand dunes to protect homes on the seafront against rising sea levels and serve as habitat for rare species

#3GoodThings 1. Having Clonazepam to help my brutal anxiety attack. 2. Having energy to make my "prison" prettier. I got lots done in my beautiful attic! 3. Feeding the birds and the bunny in the backyard while they gave me a side-eye of thanks.

I'm going to force out #3GoodThings because nothing is coming to mind other than that I'm peeing blood, I still don't have an appointment for my brain MRI, and there's a mass on one of my ovaries. 1. I just paid off our LOC 2. I had a bath 3. I found 2 Good Things #CanSky #OncoSky I'm so tired.

@rabbitholer.bsky.social , hi! 😊 Is there any way of mending our #CanSky #CancerBS #OncoSky feed? It cuts off at around a dozen or so posts, and that's very sad for those of us who love to hang out there. 😟 Thank you! 🫶

It's #NationalDogDay . Me with Darlington's Flamboyant Charles (otherwise known as "Chaz") 45 years ago. He was a bit of an idiot, but I loved him.

Man is the only Patriot. He sets himself apart in his own country, under his own flag, and sneers at the other nations, and keeps multitudinous uniformed assassins on hand at heavy expense to grab slices of other people's countries and keep them from grabbing slices of his.

This feels like my safe space to whinge, and I do apologize. For weeks it's been pelvic cramping, then lower back pain, and today it's mouth ulcers and an odd kidney result in my latest blood work. Gonna go and look at funny cancer memes on my phone. I'm fine, really. Yes. No. #CanSky #OncoSky

A meme about how I'm obsessively checking and rechecking my lab results on MyChart.

Ellis is sitting at a picnic table beside a river beneath trees. She is smiling. She is wearing her usual black top, a brown cap, and has reading glasses perched on the cap. Her cellphone is on the table in front of her.
