My friend turned wellness influencer lives rent free in my head and I should ignore her but I hate this cult-ish belief that we can protein shake, peptide and positive mindset our way out of chronic illness, ongoing pandemic, climate crisis, racism, violence and other horrors.

"Promising Young Woman" was much maligned when it came out but judging by how many people are shocked by the Cornell 7 story, I think some of y'all should settle in and watch it.

Frank Turner announced that next year’s Lost Evenings festival in London may be his last concert for the foreseeable future. I’m not sure whether Jeff and I will be able to get tickets (both cost and may sell out immediately) but either way he’s one of the best live acts ever.

Can we just make @clareblackwood.bsky.social's version of Danielle Smith the new Alberta flag?
The image displays a stylized portrayal of a woman positioned centrally, appearing to address an audience from behind a podium. She has shoulder-length brown hair, light blue eyes, and fair skin, with her mouth slightly open in an expression that could be interpreted as surprise or defiance. She wears a red blazer over a white top, complemented by a simple beaded necklace around her neck. Both of her hands are raised, with the middle finger of each hand extended upwards in a clear, provocative gesture. She stands behind a blue podium, which features the word "Alberta" written in a flowing white script, accompanied by a small, white square logo to its right. The backdrop consists of dark blue curtains, providing a formal setting for the figure. Flanking the woman and the podium are four flags. On the far left and right, two Canadian flags are visible, distinguished by their iconic red and white design featuring a central maple leaf. Positioned between the Canadian flags and directly behind the woman are two provincial flags of Alberta, which are primarily blue and display a shield emblem incorporating a red cross of St. George, green mountains, and golden wheat. Above the entire scene, a horizontal blue banner with a border contains the phrase "Alberta Forever" rendered in a distinctive, blocky yellow font. The overall aesthetic of the image has a somewhat cartoonish or digitally enhanced quality, giving it a meme-like or satirical tone. The lighting is bright and evenly distributed, highlighting the central figure and the flags. The composition strongly suggests a political context, delivering a message of strong, possibly rebellious, regional identity.

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

Cooked chopped pear and fresh ginger with my rolled oats today (as recommended by Jeff, who doesn’t even like oatmeal) and then added some more spices, plain yogurt and maple syrup at the end. It was heckin delish.

Married to @woodward.ca for 14 years now. We’re both feeling pretty crappy today but I love him every day (and bonus on days when we do fun photo shoots, he makes extra delish meals or plays with Dolly so hard she does zoomies).

After seeing photos from my actual 30 year high school reunion on Saturday night in Surrey, I’m confident I made the right choice with planning our Romy and Michelle backyard movie instead in Edmonton. My only ragret is that I couldn’t find a more Romy and Michelle-esque dress.
