Welcome to Canada. We have a passive aggressive sign for everything. Mine today was about how wonderful & open to feedback the federal parks staff is (they aren't, but after complaints they put these up)

Like a perfectly reasonable person the last day at my home in San Francisco was spent adoring our house spider for lunar New Year/Easter/Eostre/Valentine's day/St.Pat's. Who knows when I will be back but at least the spiders & my neighbours will enjoy it.
A cloth spider web is suspended between two second story bay windows on house with brown shingles on the second story and dirty pale pink on the ground floor. There are large and small spiders on the web along with holiday decorations of Easter eggs, 4 leaf clovers, red lanterns, hearts and Easter bunnies Fabric spider web hanging off Victorian bay windows with holiday decorations and lights.

I started use USians due to character limits but knowing it also makes covert racists out themselves is value add. How pathetic is a "journalist" saying language can't change & that it can't originate from bias & white supremacy. Also a reminder white trans folks can still be racist & biased

On November 5th, 2020 my twitter feed was flooded with the angel is gay- my intro to Supernatural & started watching from season 4 on Nov 6th. Being bored stuck in the USA during a pandemic motivated me too. found fanfic on Nov 23rd when I realize the gay declaration wasn't for another 11 seasons.

Why are the Magats so sad for Charlie Kirk? He stated many times that an occassional gun death was just the "rational" according to him price of having the 2nd amendment. Or did that does that logic not apply when it's his own life? Of course none of them are going to call for stricter gun control.
