From a Vietnam vet who spent 6 years in the “Hanoi Hilton”describing how he survived:
“If your environment and circumstances control your attitude, you’re in prison. If you are in control of your thoughts and your attitude, then you’re free.”
from “The Killing School” by Brandon Webb #cosobooks

@Alfred Thank you, she was a treasure!

@Alfred Whst can you tell me about Judy the POW dog? Thank you!

@singlemaltgirl Sorry, can’t help there, he is hot… 🔥.
But I can recommend…. Do not look at pics of him when he was younger like when he was in Cold Comfort Farm with Kate Beckinsale - it will only make it worse.

@AskTheDevil I totally agree but it’s a tough sell. People really like the carcass on their plate.

Not that it means anything now, but I finally deleted Elon’s garbage site. I can get my news from elsewhere.

Even small changes can help… 🤷‍♀️

@NorthernInvader
PP and his merry band cannot be trusted with reproductive health care. They keep bringing bill after bill to be voted down. When they win, they will have the votes to take away women’s reproductive freedom next time Vierson tables a “pre-born protection” bill. But they will be voted out if they do. Harper understood that, but PP *will* allow a private member’s bill.

@catlynne333 Good for him….
But I wonder whenever I hear men saying they oppose abortion if that means they are OK with women dying of a miscarriage when they can’t get treated, or if they think rapists should get to choose the mother of their children.

@Jezibaba This is so terrifying

@Museek I love to see lines of people 10 deep waiting on the cashier while the self check out machines remain empty.

Also, it’s fun to mess up your self check out order forcing a human being to assist you.

For the last 100+ years, women have fought for their rights… voting, employment, property, financial, reproductive care. These rights are fragile and to be maintained, the fight must continue.

It’s our turn.

@Kaysymmetry
It’s notable that the bill does not invoke notwithstanding clause so will be challenged in court..
And like many other nonsensical ideological legislation by Conservative governments, it will not stand.

@lisaannlm Thank you so much! We love you back! 🇨🇦🫂🇺🇸

@Priestess What an ordeal for you both. Best wishes. 💕

Progressive Canadians 🇨🇦 worry about the state of Canadian politics but also, and importantly, American 🇺🇸 politics… because the well being of the USA affects Canada so dramatically. Economically, politically, culturally. Canadians are not Americans but are yet very much alike. #cosocanucks

I had a revelation today - I keep things that never get used because I still have dreams. Dreams of painting, reading, sewing, knitting, learning new things, getting a horse or another dog. Things I will never do. Getting rid of these things is letting go of these dreams and that’s OK.

So a specialist told me yesterday that my tympanic tinnitus is caused by stress. What? What is there in this world to be worried about? Isn’t everything going to be just fine?

@Tacitus_Kilgore
The polling was ever so wrong…
I’m guessing they didn’t poll rural areas…
