Locally to me, a person was filmed while in mental health crisis and the video went horrifically viral - a thing they wrote about later on as being just devastating. It is cruel and it should not happen.

Have you ever watched Corner Gas? It's a gently poky Canadian sitcom set in Saskatchewan and very very cosy. There's lots of it, too!

YES, I agree! I am also going to crack down on finishing writing my horror novel, which will go perfectly with that.

I am - she's 21 and deeply unhappy in her tiny town home and very ready for a new challenge. I have deep worries about her health but we can't keep her on a shelf forever. Middle kid is moving out this fall, too! I am gonna need more cats.

It WAS and that is a perfect description. "I SMELL LIKE PAT THE BUNNY" I hollered at Bill, which he found fairly confusing.

Things are very fraught right now, so here is this: I have a new deodorant and the smell of it makes me feel overwhelmingly nostalgic. I realized what it smelled like today:
Two pages from the baby book "Pat the Bunny" where  a little boy is smelling flowers and then a scented page where the reader - a BABY - can also smell the flowers.

One thing that's very scary about US aggression towards Canada is how every time it happens, Americans liberals don't really seem to treat it as a major issue. Have the Dems come out forcefully about Canada? All I ever really see are Dem governors asking us to go there on vacation.

I think if things are very hard, it's good to keep things that are very easy to have on hand (hummus, crackers, yogurt, grapes) and just eat little bits when you're able. Mint and ginger teas might help a bit with the nausea, or at least be mildly relaxing. Thinking lots about you. xo

This soup is a bit fussier but is sort of pleasantly busy workish to make and has the same dense nutrition that's great when you can't eat: www.loveandlemons.com/creamy-white...

One actually helpful thing that I do for myself is when I am unbearably anxious IS tackling an unpleasant project that I've been putting off because heck, I already feel awful. Exerting myself and getting something fixed up both help to some extent - and it's also a nice treat for later, happier me.

I also sometimes listen to very big, very dramatic classical playlists very very loud on headphones to sort of drown ME out for a little while.

Oh Eryn! That sounds awful. One thing that helps me when I'm going through awful things that I can't control is to radically lower the number of choices I have to make in a day, just to reduce the amount of background anxiety going on.

There's a lot of things I won't get over from the past decade, but people's willingness to try to memory hole the extremely deadly pandemic we all lived through and killed actual people, on their watch and partly because of their idiocy, is high on that list.

I sent a fairly furious email to Tim Hortons and got a bland response back that Harry Potter is "iconic" and "magical", which makes me feel like Tim Hortons was really, really unprepared for any sort of negative response.

Did I just sprint across the road to tell the mom of the yard full of little kids - who I have never met - that we have a tornado warning? Was she deeply unimpressed? Did said tornado not show up? All yes.

A 51st state joke in a review of a Canadian film in the Hollywood Reporter is why “most of us aren’t like that!” falls on unbelieving ears, America. Centrists finding annexation jokes funny is how it gets normalized. I am not sure how many times you have to learn this lesson at the world’s expense.

Does THIS look like the face of a biter? (Yes, very much)
A black and white cat with yellow eyes glares menacingly. She is very pretty.

My very earnest answer is that I have kids (they are adults but still) and they deserve to see me trying to keep a steady ship for them, you know? Even if it does not work, they deserve to see me trying.

She's been snapping at youngest kid a lot - and I KNOW that she's going through things but c'mon, youngest kid is both a) a doll and b) bravely dealing with her own health things and her GRANDMOTHER should be nice to her, so I'm going to spend her whole visit being a human shield.

Isn't that WILD? I am both sort of excited and also kind of nauseated about what replies I am going to get from council.

Rebecca @rebeccal.bsky.social · 19/12/2025
So: I wrote a strongly worded email to all of council and now I am going to clean out our guest room and will anything change? Will township realize that this is unnecessary and alienating? Will my mother-in-law realize at this late date that I am full of Lovable Traits? Both of these feel unlikely.

Fantastic (this is sarcasm) news this morning: town council (100% old people) recently declared it to be "Christian Heritage Month" in town AND I have found out that my mother-in-law (who is both dying and who has also never liked me) is coming over for much of next week.

My youngest child was obsessed with the movie Charade and as a result, I've seen it at least 30 times. Kids REALLY like to rewatch things.
