I wasn't going to watch men's Olympic hockey. But after yesterday's current events from the disgraceful AB premier & knowing Geriatric Joffrey was about to have a tariff tantrum, I thought I'd just watch a minute of the game for distraction. Finland about killed me. What a game. May they win bronze

I used to worry about spending too much time doomscrolling and if I would spend the remainder of my life with a device attached to my thumbs. Turns out, a daily menu of hatred, Trumpism, transphobia and ignorance was all I needed to never want to be online.

Can’t wait to see how much more she carves from the disabled. Maybe she will steal from children and seniors too. We know she won’t increase taxes on her buddies.

My husband is currently decommissioning a nuclear site and my mind boggles at the thought toxic waste was just dumped and not remediated. Dear gawd. This is a horrifying moment of our history that needs to be addressed.

I am busting my son out of his group home this weekend to force him to watch the new The Muppet Show with me because life is short and Miss Piggy is eternal and by golly, my children WILL know the magic of snarky ass puppets if it's the only thing I ever teach them. It is my time to shine.

Just received a lovely letter from the Albertan government reminding me they will be stealing money from my disabled son because they believe 1901 dollars a month makes severely disabled people rich. The new seat for his wheelchair is almost 6000 dollars but hey; let’s not talk about that.

I’m not sure if it was a deer, a moose, the world’s largest porcupine standing on a bunny & waving its arms, or Big Foot himself, but something was lurking in the forest when I took my dogs out for their nightly routine & freaked them out. I’m too young to die while my dogs pee & nature scares me.

I do not often feel verklempt over celebrities deaths. But the news of Catherine O'Hara's passing has really kicked me in the gut, in a way I did not expect. I expected her to live forever as an indomitable queen of comedy and as one of my Canadian icons ought to. Thank you Catherine.

Yeah Smith, as an Albertan I would sure like to hear your unequivocal opinion on the matter. Quit hiding and tenderfooting the issue. Are you with Canadians or are you a separatist? Albertans would like to know. Speak up.

When I returned to university a few years ago during a midlife crisis, I took a lot of flack for choosing to study religion AND policing. Useless degrees, they said. But I wanted, NEEDED to know more about the systems used to oppress people & harm communities. I have yet to regret my choice.

I had a convo w/my husband about dealing w/pro-authoritarian & the growing # of separatists surrounding us. It’s rather like trying to bring antivaxxers to science. They reject facts & truths.They double down. The only solution is to carve them out & starve them of your time. Carve and starve.

It is overwhelming to be online today. As a Canadian, it feels terrible watching our American neighbours be gunned down and gaslighted by their government, the same govt that continues to threaten our country, and is idolized by AB separatists and maple MAGAts. It feels really heavy and scary.

The World Cup US location needs to be reconsidered immediately, no matter how many tickets have sold or how high demand is. It is not safe for participants nor spectators. FIFA needs to do the right thing and Infantino needs to show some damn leadership instead of the bootlicking he has done.

Children funerals are one of life's saddest moments. Hug the kids in your life because there is no guarantee they'll live to adulthood. Bless the people who work so hard in the medical professional to try and get as many kids to adulthood as possible. They're all saints. Today was hard.

It's sobering to see how your neighbours, family and friends react in today's political environment. It was one thing to watch them dismiss your health & safety during the pandemic; it's entirely another to know they're gleeful as they harm and strip your rights away and then mock your tears.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade. cnn.it/4o5pBGv

Real life has kicked my arse these past two weeks. Real life as in dead kids, disease, disability, aging, worst life altering decisions. It has made politics, both Canadian and USian, unbearable and a harder pill to swallow than normal.

I had two skin biopsies done yesterday, leaving me with 8 stitches. A full day of dealing with a tiny terrorist with grabby hands, I'm down to six stitches. Take care of your skin, people. Maybe don't agree to watch angry babies afterwards, or at least until the freezing comes out.

I will add, I went to the school to address my concerns about this discrimination and was blown off. I may indeed, be one of less than a handful who are even aware of the implications of this policy and its harm. It felt a little gaslight-y, and very dystopian. But this shit matters.

An enormous Great Grey owl just flew out of the woods and landed on my grass about 30 meters from me and stared at me. It held my gaze for what felt like an eternity and then unfurled its wings and flew in front and away from me. This, after spending all day honouring deceased children.

I've spent HOURS emailing and calling members of the AB government to address the upcoming changes to AISH that will kick ALL severely disabled people off the program until they prove they can't work or are actively dying, and I've received ONE form letter in response to my efforts. I just CANNOT.

And I would like to remind Albertans, and Canadians, that the AISH (assured income for the severly handicapped) is a program for people with SEVERE disabilities, usually permanent lifelong injuries. These people have ALREADY had to jump through medical hoops to PROVE and justify their eligibility.

Tanis Miller 🍁 @tanis.bsky.social · 09/09/2025

Attended the Premier Council's town hall for the AISH changes the Ab government is ramming down severely disabled throats & became increasingly more incensed. This govt is unconcerned with the harm they create or the devastation of forcing SEVERELY disabled people into further poverty.

I knew today would be rough out here in Battleriver-Crowfoot for progressives like myself; but when I saw the handwritten sign “thank you BR-C voters” stuck to a giant Poilievre sign, it felt a bit soul crushing. I do not understand why people keep voting against their own interests.
