Hello October 2026. Bella looking for seals at sunset tonight. #PNW #DogsOfBluesky #Sheprador

Brown dog on dock looking out at the water of a saltwater bay at sunset. Water very smooth and reflecting the sky, clouds, and sunset. Marina in background.

Liberty Bay, Poulsbo, WA. It's a saltwater inlet of Puget Sound. My dog Bella loves to swim there. I just have to keep an eye out for seals before letting her swim out very far. They are protective when they have young'uns.

It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays “Tiny Dancer” for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN and Taupin’s wife Maxine (for whom Taupin wrote the song).

Hope this amazing photo wins a Pulitzer for the photographer, Evan Vucci, Reuters. A photo is worth a thousand words and this one speaks loudly.

My son and grandson are applying with me. I'm doing all the paperwork and collection of documents as I'm retired and have a lot more time than they do.

LynnB @lbaum83.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I was landlocked too long in the Midwest. Have to live near water now. It's not the ocean, but a saltwater bay is just a short walk away from where I live. I was in Vancouver a few weeks ago. Such a cool place! I don't plan to move, but Canadian citizenship gives my kids and grandkids life options.

LynnB @lbaum83.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

It's frustrating. I was ready to send back in June when the IRCC clarified the document requirements to original source, so instead of downloading from Ancestry and FamilySearch lots of letters, calls, and emails were required to town, county & state clerks. And then the waiting.

Sorry. Hey, I'm already starting to speak Canadian. 😊

When did you apply? Mine is going out on Tuesday. Yesterday the backlog wait for non-urgent was 22 months, today the estimate jumped up to 33 months! Ugh. 😩 Looks like the best way we can prepare to be Canadian is to practice our patience! Sigh. Do you know of anyone else here on the same journey?

Preparing in advance for my dual citizenship, though it will be at least two years before I receive my certificate of Canadian Citizenship by Descent. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

It is sad. They become part of the rhythm of our lives and it's so hard to lose them. Glad Ali Velshi will still have a show on MSNow. I'm still in mourning about Stephen Colbert. Been watching him since David Letterman handed Late Night off to him. He was more informative than most MSM news.

Just finished watching it. Fascinating behind the scenes reporting by Scott Pelley, one of the best.

My timber bamboo grove. Yes, it is invasive and though growing within a 3 ft metal shield it has escaped into nearby areas over the past 25 years. Requires vigilance and regular removal of straying culms, but I still love it! Beautiful rustling sound on a breezy day. #bamboo #naturephotography #PNW

We're terrible neighbors right now, and it hurts to keep caring. Care anyway. You are needed.

Dear America, I'm Canadian, and even from across the border I can tell your gentlest people are doing the heaviest lifting. They are feeding people, protecting people, defending people, comforting people, organizing people, and carrying a country that keeps calling their pain politics. If America has a soul left, it is living inside the people who refuse to stop caring. Your cruelest people may have the microphone right now, but your best people still have the moral weight.

We Americans have a hard time seeing ourselves in the world, and so even when we want to criticize our fascist oligarchs we fail to see the international networks of which they are nodes.

All went well. Wonderful turnout and so inspiring. Great vibe here like usual. It's a small town with an inclusive and caring community. Thanks for your message. I do agree with your point and if this was a different situation she would have stayed home for safety. 🩷

Thank you! I'm honored, but probably should send my application in anyway. 😊 It's going to take months, but worth the wait. No wonder I've always felt Canadian. According to the amended law evidently I was, and am! Just needed to prove it with a direct descendant chart and copies of vital documents.

LynnB @lbaum83.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Thank you! Hopefully soon I'll be able to add the Canadian flag to my name too! I'm applying for citizenship by descent (Bill C-3) thanks to my Canadian great-grandmother. No plans to move, but to honor my Canadian ancestors giving my children and grandchildren a bridge to their Canadian heritage.

Thanks, and I understand why it could be an issue and do appreciate your concern. I know my dog's personality and live in a tiny town. Our protests here are joyful, inspirational celebrations, and have never been confrontational. If there's a different vibe this time, we'll leave immediately.
