They're in rough shape but we found two 4 leaf clovers in a tiny patch near our campsite! Thanks to the video we watched, I've been wanting to give it a try...and then accidentally found my first ever! youtu.be/XfUFPHA0HIA?...

I can probably only reply yes or no, but I'd really like to be more honest.

Anyone else say please and thank you when you've asked an AI chatbot to do something for you? *Just in case* they become sentient and take over the world, that they'll remember you were one of the good humans worth sparing? Or am I just Canadian and can't help being polite?

I get those "are you enjoying this app" popups and so often don't know whether to click yes or no. Am I *enjoying* using this authentication app to login to my work stuff? Not particularly. But it's not because the app is bad. A better question would be "does this app suit your needs" or something

Elder millennial Hot Take...(or maybe not? Luke Warm take): lol is punctuation in text messages and social media posts. So many messages just sound wrong or rude without ending them with 'lol'

Adventures in resin crafts. New bookmark moulds! They are a bit thick, and I made the backgrounds too dark to show the detail that well on some of them but overall not a bad first attempt. #crafting

My yard is a lily beetle sex club. At least I can catch and kill two or 3 at a time when I grab them off the plants.

Lily beetles are out already. I deputized my kid to be a certified little beetle hunter, offering to pay her 25 cents per beetle. She's probably going to make a killing. Pun intended.

Is it still balance if we're crushing a book every 2 days? I'm sure it's fine...

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, have a good look at the world around you, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is importantStorygraph profile: @saskysarah

This basil "tree" was in the garden bed, hacked some off to put in this pot with the hope of bringing it indoors. It kinda suffered a bit but was starting to recover...then got a hit of frost 🤦‍♀️ But nest to see how it's recovering now that it's indoors (and after a bit of fertilizer)

Can someone invent hybrid e/audio books? I prefer to read on my kobo but want the book to keep going when I'm walking or driving so I want it to switch to audio at that point. Yes, I realize that my reading addiction/hyperfocus is already excessive and this would make it worse but idgaf! #booksky

Especially wild when you consider than half of all marriages end in divorce.
Your Woke Aunty @YasminYonis
It's wild to me that I can marry a random man today and give him health insurance but I can't provide my sister health insurance or my grandmother.
The American idea of who is family & who do we care for doesn't make sense to me. Also, everyone should have universal healthcare.

So I started typing a phone number in the calculator app today. Because that's how infrequently I make phone calls. when my brain thinks numbers to type, it thinks calculator, not phone. Also maybe indicates how poorly I do math in my head if opening the calculator app is so automatic.

Still cringe at how, nearly 25 years ago, I went into a convenience store in Australia late at night, needing change...handed the cashier a 5 dollar bill and said "give me two toonies and a loonie" and how unhinged I must have sounded to someone who knew what neither of those things were.

Woke up our 5 year old to watch the Canada day fireworks from the yard. She was so excited all day. She came outside, watched for 20sec then said "I'm done, can I go back to bed?" Things like this are how I know she's my daughter 🤣 Basically an "ok, sparkles in the sky, I got the gist, bye"

I always forget how much I hate hanging indents until I experience the strong visceral reaction I have when Word randomly throws one into a document I'm working on. The face I made at the screen and the speed with which I fixed it was epic. I'm probably a totally normal person though, right?

3 hours of power dreams starting at 3am 🥴 5mins of sleep, having a weird dream, waking up and my brain can't stop thinking about it for 15min, pass out again for another 5min dream. Sometimes rejoined the previous dream, sometimes had a whole new one. Days like this, I miss caffeine 😭
