I want to get rid of so many of them so that you can actually SEE the bounty of ornamental maples hidden among it all. I truly wish I could find out what the deal was with the trees.

I was like "we can walk my back yard maybe you'll like some of those trees too" I cannot stress how fucking many trees we have. It is not a large lot but it's fucking planted like one

It's been absolutely wild to watch people call it transphobia. Like you don't get to say you wanted to call someone a slur and then defend it with "well it's not like I wanted to say a RACIAL slur" and we're all supposed to be fine with that bc you're trans.

I would argue that one person here is on topic and one is trying to "isolate issues without acknowledging the greater context and the current need for solidarity"

There was a night in October where my life as I knew it imploded and from an ocean away @twolemonades.com said to me, "well, one of us has to marry Doug Doug". And reader, I did it.

Folks all you have to do is train them. See how easy it is? He knows that in this house we stand on our marks. He respects blocking.

Well that's a farewell to the guy who likes to paint Los Angeles banks on fire. I was sus when he first posted the first painting with no explanation but the likes make it pretty clear!
Instagram post by @paintwithalex with 4 paintings. 3 are banks in flames, 1 is a classroom where a teacher has protected the antisemitic "happy merchant" comic on a screenAlex liking comments: one says RIP Nick Bougas, one is the happy merchant illustration Screenshot from Nick Bougas' Wikipedia: 

As a cartoonist, he used the pen name A. Wyatt Mann to produce racist and antisemitic cartoons for the white supremacist newspaper WAR in the 1980s and 1990s, though his authorship was not confirmed until the 2010s. These cartoons are widely used as memes by white supremacists. Under the same pseudonym, Bougas illustrated Michael A. Hoffman II's Holocaust denial comic Tales of the Holohoax: A Journal of Satire.

that's all for this week. and if you're reading this in the grocery store, get out of the damn way!
BEEF To the old duffers who slowly wander around grocery stores at peak shopping hours. The rest of us have places to be. Yesterday my bananas were brown by the time I got through the checkout.

what i'll say is there's a lot of dutch folks in nanaimo and this is proof of that
BOUQUET To Ute and Patrick for their help with the house, for doing the shopping, and for everything else they do for us. Thanks for that.

boycott beef-gate continues
BOUQUET To Nanaimo residents who buy Made in Canada products, support Canadian businesses, support Canada’s leaders about U.S. tariffs. All Canadians are blessed with the freedom to do as we please. Loyalty to Canada in hard times is our way of showing gratitude.

BEEF To the beefers trying to shame others into boycotting the U.S. Many Canadians have family or friends in the U.S. Many Americans do not support Trump’s anti-Canadian stance, including those whose livelihoods depend on Canadian customers. Canadians are free to boycott or not as they choose. Shame on you!
