I’m so sorry Ann. But I’m glad her memory is a blessing despite the sadness of her death. 💕

Westjet did NOT do this back in June when we flew to Cardiff via Toronto (despite being asked). We arrived in Toronto late and had to RUN from one end of the airport to the other. They were literally about to close the doors. Would’ve a week before the next flight. 🤬

Congratulations, that’s so exciting! This is my mum’s senior pittieX who she adopted 3+yrs ago. Inga is now 13 and the bestest girl. 💕 (She’s sad because she got all dressed up for walkies, but got taken for a manicure instead, lol.)

Remember our discussiona couple months ago about the dexcom tape allergy (you suggested Flonase)? It’s still working, but kid is now reacting to the Dexcom itself. 🫤 I think you had some other ideas…? @mpavictoria.bsky.social

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel, we see a pair of ghosts. The first ghost says, “Let us make love, my darling.”
In the second panel, we see see the second ghost’s face, blushing. It says, “Here? In public?”
In the third panel, we again see the pair of ghosts together. The first one says, “No one can see us, we’re ghosts!”
In the fourth panel, the title reads “the cat”. We see a cat looking up at them.

Government lawyers have higher obligations. Not just to a client. To uphold the law. For government lawyers there is never a “was just following orders” defence. Keep this in mind when we see what Alberta has done to us. They could not do it without lawyers. nationalmagazine.ca/en-ca/articl...

In 2024 it took the U of C president less than 24 hours to call in police to remove peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors in 2024. The police attacked the protestors with clubs, shields and pepper balls. So let’s be clear: only some free speech is allowed on that campus.

People do not understand how men who are white supremacists can have wives who are women of color and I need folks to realize that those men see their wives as subordinate property and not equals. These men are foaming at the mouth to bring back quadroon balls.

Someone put $20 down on the grocery bill of the person in front of them at the store today while I was waiting farther back in line... it made a big difference on a mom's food for the week. So, i'd like to suggest we all do a little pay-it-forward in our communities this month.

This mirrors spouse’s interactions with his mom (as does your 2nd skeet). To add: he often finds out about deaths on FB. (I guess technically a death *isn’t* an “emergency”. 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Um this is amazing

Website comment reading: Oh NO, for years I have been sending holiday cards to my neighbors with a general season’s greeting and then ending it with “And I hope you have the 202X you deserve!” I thought it was, like, general good wishes without repeating all of the general holiday stuff.

I started sending the cards because my neighbors were kind of standoffish and to be honest things have not improved!! I was hoping several years of friendly cards would soften them but I didn’t know about the F you implication.

How do I recover from this????"

Intrusive thoughts like:

an orange tabby cat with a white bib sitting loafed up in a crocheted cat bed looking comfy and content, maybe even smiling a little. Behind her, the ears and eyes of a tiny orange tabby cat that could be her twin are visible peeping over the edge of the bed as he considers pouncing on her.

Can confirm. I spoke at a conference recently, where the person before me talked about AI. I started my keynote by saying that AI is incompatible with feminism because AI is built on theft and therefore a consent violation. "Gen-AI stole my book. AI is harmful to real people like me." It hit hard.
