Left screenshot was 9:42pm and it'd been going on for a couple hours, right was 10:42pm to show how slowly it's moving. Near Little Smoky, AB looking directly west, storm moving north.

I think the @weathernetwork.bsky.social has been drinking. We regularly get temp drops more than this, like almost daily all summer long. Earlier this week, we had a 28c high and woke up the next morning to 3c, followed by 26c that day etc. Little Smoky, AB.

I have many words for the UCP regarding this "energy rebate," so I had to do a screenshot for Bluesky. This clumsy data grab, citizenship status on DL, pushing disabled people who can't work into a program that forces them to work.... I'm tired, boss.

We live in a weird bubble that radar can literally never see. We got at least 8" of fresh snow, most of it last night, and the app just kept saying "snow expected," with the radar showing nothing coming down, though it was SW/NE of us. Happens every snowstorm. #abstorm @weathernetwork.bsky.social

From Feb 16, screenshot of weather app showing just cloudy and a message "snow expected later today" while it was actively snowing heavy.

Someone want to tell him that's not how to lead in a free democracy? Oh wait, he's turning the US into a fascist dictatorship. My bad. It's devastating to watch this happen in real time. Where's the files?

1/ I made the mistake of going down a rabbit hole. It's started on Reddit with a post about @wyden.senate.gov calling out the Epstein money trail. Which somehow led to Facebook. Which led to the comment in this image.

A Facebook post complaining about Oregon Senator Wyden helping a pregnant woman apply for asylum, twisting it so that it sounds like people in the country illegally are the reason Americans don't have universal health Care, instead of the fact they're too stupid to vote in the people who could make it happen.

I'm so tired I just screenshot my FB post and copied the text for the alt instead of trying to shorten it for Bluesky 🥱 #husky #dogsofbluesky #dog #tplo #surgery #alberta #canada

Morning of day 3! I managed 5 hours sleep (2 hours then 3) but still feel like my brain is in a blender. Storm wouldn't eat or drink anything most of yesterday, and I couldn't give her pills until she did, so I threw a giant frozen turkey breast in the instant pot, completely unseasoned.

Watered down the broth it made and she drank that just fine. And she devoured the meat. Then she drank regular water for like 5 minutes straight last night. Also took off the fentanyl patch.

She's feeling much better this morning.

Oof, it's been a rough 24 hours. Storm has been crying/whining all day and I got about 2 hours 😴 taking care of her. She's finally starting to doze more so I'll be setting up a nest next to the crate tonight and hope for a little more 💤 #husky #dogsofbluesky #dog #surgery #alberta #canada

My girl, Storm, needs TPLO surgery, she tore her CCL and her knee wobbles like mine did with the complete MCL repair. Probably be in 2-3 weeks to let inflammation go down, assuming we can afford it 🤦🏽‍♀️

I ordered a cold therapy machine for my knee and it came today, only 2 days from BC (I love that UPS will deliver to our very rural farm, it didn't used to be that way!) and I am In Love. So much more coverage and consistent cold than an ice pack. Can't wait to be healed!

A cold therapy pad wrapped around my knee that recently had surgery, delivering wonderful cold to my stuff and sore knee.

Well that sucked. It just fell, no cats involved. I'd been planning on propagating it to clean up the mess it had become, so I guess it threw itself on the floor to make it happen faster 🤷‍♀️ #houseplants #indoorgardening #plants #greenthumb #growing #monstera #propagation #alberta #canada

I thought I'd killed the tomatoes and cabbage by using too much fertilizer (first time trying it) but a few thorough flushes and they're mostly happy again. The cats have decided that celery is the next best thing to catnip and will not leave it alone 😂 #vegetablegarden #gardening #gardening #zone3
