What a beautiful boy. ā¤ļø
Thanks for sharing his pic. ā¤ļø
All the best for your recovery. ā¤ļø
They do. So sorry for your loss.
It's Ginger Cat Appreciation Day. I sure miss my OT, who crossed the rainbow bridge this time last year. He was a stray I took in as an older boy, and he was so cuddly and full of personality. He was one of a kind. š š
Brain worm? Or snake?
Hopefully, he's heard about this story now.
I can't imagine being a kid these days. So much to navigate.
To be clear, I am in no way blaming this young victim. It's just reality that kids have to consider so much more danger these days.
Some young girls pulled this on me a few years ago. I was able to track them down via a FB post and their parents sent them over to apologize. I told the girls that wasn't the point but that they could end up pranking the wrong person some day. www.cbsnews.com/news/11-year...

I don't even like plain tomatoes much. š¤·āāļø I'll have one on a burger, but I grow them to make tomato sauce. I might give this one to my hard-working local librarian.

Happy Labour Day! Thank you to everyone involved in the labour movement who paved the way for workers' rights and better working conditions. Things CAN change when people fight back. We must never lose that spirit.
There is agency in refusing to be flattened into a caricature. There is power in choosing depth over distraction. And there is freedom in staying rooted in our humanity, even when the world around us tries to strip it away.
Was that supposed to be his text to Melania?

They say you can never be too rich or too thin. Not true. Eat the rich and don't worry about the calories.
I drove to a nearby town today to sign the #ForeverCanadian petition. One of the signature collectors, who used to live in my village, recognized my name and said, "Oh, you're the cat lady!" My reputation for taking care of strays will forever precede me. šø #cdnpoli #abpoli #cats

Just imagine all of those US intelligence agents scrolling through myriad pics of cats and Canadian landscapes while they reassess the meaning of their now empty lives under a fascist dictator who's scared of his own shadow. #cdnpoli
Thank you to gallivantphotography for these beautiful photos of adoptable kitty, Kirby! Kirby and his bestie, Lyle, are both wonderful kitties and they are going to be super forever family members! Drop by the cat_cafe_on_whyte (10111 82 Avenue, Edmonton) to meet Kirby and Lyle in person
He also doesn't read the executive orders he signs. His sidekick has to explain them to him.
Because of his tariffs, he's singlehandedly destroying US military power as other countries form coalitions and make non-US arms deals to sidestep his attempted authoritarian takeover and the destruction of trade and security deals.
Thank you!

Did you see his ICE training video? OMG that was hilarious.
Is Trump invading Venezuela??
Is there a hurricane headed towards Mar-a-Lago?
Meanwhile, the UCP government is attempting to crack the world record for the egg on face race. #abpoli #cdnpoli
He may or may not be gone yet but it's important that you begin your party planning ASAP before all of the kittens are fully booked. #caturday
That one works. Thanks.
Dean Cain got the big ICE signing bonus and now it looks like he tripped over his own hubris. #NotaSuperman
Oh great. Now I have to worry about my garage?! I may have to start walking around in a hazmat suit.
Great job!

Grandstanding loser. He's attacking a law that his party approved. "In 2013, Harper's Conservative government passed the self-defence law that laid out the nine conditions Poilievre criticized in his news conference." #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
A lady in town was bitten by a brown recluse a few years and ended up with flesh-eating disease in one leg. It was a long recovery. So, I keep an eye on what's around me.
My phone was in the house so I didn't want to let it wander off while I tried to figure out what it was in case it was dangerous. I'm sure I'll see others now.
Not for this one anymore. It has perished under a rock. Then I did a search to find out what it was.
Yikes. I wear garden gloves but that's no guarantee they won't bite elsewhere, I guess. I don't want to know what that feels like.
Thanks for that. I guess we'll find out how long the SC allows him to keep screwing up the US economy, one way or the other.
Ah. I see what you're saying. I'd have to read more about how the October deadline would work if the SC can pull that stunt.
Is Lutnick crying somewhere? I hope he's crying.
But the appeals court already ruled they're illegal so he'd have to take it to the Supreme Court if he wants that order overturned. They're still in effect until October to give him time to appeal, from what I understand.
I just found one of these Orb Weaver spiders in my garden. Scared the crap out of me. I've never seen one before. Apparently, they're harmless. Still... š š± #gardening

Most Trump tariffs are illegal. (Surprise!) Now, we'll have to wait and see if the Supreme Court rules against him too. Don't hold your breath. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...
I thought that date might be for when the page was updated, not necessarily the map...?

The more Trump isolates the US from the rest of the world, the stronger China becomes.
They've been extremely weak and ineffective, imo. I'm all for next gen.
The world needs to stop pretending that the US government wants peace in the Middle East. "Secretary of State Marco Rubio blamed them for undermining peace efforts and for seeking "the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state". www.bbc.com/news/article...

That was my experience too after cataract surgery. What a difference.
They're so bloody incompetent.
Please tone down the sensationalist headlines.
That would be handy. They're so annoying.
They knew this was coming months ago but they refused to diversify the economy anyway. bsky.app/profile/luci...
Just the English entries or all languages? This could take a while...
I don't think they use it on small ones. This one was big and it had been there since January.
I had YAG laser treatments on both eyes on Monday. One had a secondary cataract. The other had a big ass floater. I didn't realize I'd been seeing the world through Kari Lake's Zoom filter lens. šµš¶ I can see clearly now, the blur is gone šµš¶

If this "Freedom Convoy" loser was granted asylum in the US, I'd just say good riddance - you can have him. For all of his so-called martyrdom, he's only raised $13,000 from his convoy buddies for his legal fees. š #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One fun thing about living in a farming village is going for a walk and finding random ponies in the bushes. (He and his buddies were tied up. No idea why they were there.) #CountryLife #animals

I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns donāt kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
This kind of talk is so incredibly dangerous. There are millions of people who need these drugs to function. RFK Jr. is not a doctor, and the only thing he's been right about was telling people not to take medical advice from him.
