Thank you on this labor day!!
I raised three daughters, therefore, I fear nothing. ๐ I love cooking, gardening, dogs, the occasional cat, knitting, books, music, exploring nature, and laughing. I try to be kind. Opinions are my own. No DMs please.

Thank you on this labor day!!
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Amazing shot!
Same. Iโm 64 and suffered from LC for years. Iโm no longer eligible for the vax. Itโs ridiculous. I donโt want to get Covid again and backslide just as Iโm starting to feel like my self again. ๐ก
Yes! And I love the contrast with the silvery leaves. Beautiful.

This video is waaay too long, given what itโs documentingโbooks to be removed from all Edmonton Public Schools. Alberta, please donโt go the way of the U.S. and start banning books. ๐ฌ@non_toxic_masculinity
Can someone explain please?

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
Beautiful, healthy food!
I just tried to schedule my Covid shot, and itโs unavailable here. ๐ก

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

Reminds me of baking cookies for my four brothers. I always made a double batch, and they were always gone by the time I finished baking them.

Thank you! I love beautiful tools for my needlework. These are exquisite.
Just imagine how much better things would be in Alberta if we removed idiots from positions of authority instead of books from libraries.
Iโll bet you will learn more.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Dr. Rossiter, who told the stories of the many forgotten and underappreciated women of science. Like many women of her generation, she survived academia by developing a tough exterior, but her support for jr women, myself included, was unwavering. RIP, Margaret.
Let that sink in.
I do, and Iโm still recovering.

๐ชฌ๐งฟ There is no amount of money, oil, or gold in the world that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
if there is ever a shooting in ur community one thing u can do that makes a tangible difference is donating blood!!
Excellent question.

My home Internet went kersplat, and I raced to the library for its wifi and ample table outlets for my work laptop. I worked for five hours straight. LIBRARIES. They have been there for me all my life.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
As everyone knows, โTrue warfighters instilled with the warfighting ethos, however, know that a warfighting ethos is only at its warfighting ethos-iest when warfighters are fighting a war on boredom. And here among the embattled mulch beds of D.C., cousin, boredom is ah-boomin.โ

CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
Unvetted and conflicted outside organizations seem to be sources HHS uses over gold standard science of CDC. Public health is not merely about health of the individual, but about health of the community, the nation, the world. Nationโs health security is at risk
