First day of nursery school she stood against this wall for her first “first day of school” pic. Today I take her grade 12 pic. I’m a massive range of emotions right now. (Years of her graffiti on the wall as well 👩🏼‍🎨)

I don’t mind the cooler seasons - quite like them actually - but it get harder to justify the A/C that drowns out the snoring during the warmer nights … 😴

This is the fifth summer I’ve not had an actual vacation away anywhere. Not happy about seeing this today, beautiful though it is.

In 1856, a 17-year-old girl named Adeline Harris started making a unique quilt. Over the next two decades, she sent pieces of silk to famous people from around the world and they signed them and sent them back to her. She assembled them into a quilt with a tumbling blocks pattern

friends - another 'she'll pick our brains to death if we let her' question: Any thoughts on using an email obfuscator for contact info on a web site? Supposed to be good for cutting back on bots...

just listening to cbc's interview w/ shania twain talking about her humble start in timmins. she cited dolly parton as a huge influence b/c they both grew up poor & their moms made their 'performing clothes'. both were songwriters & singers.

my views of dolly have changed a lot over the yrs. when i was young, she was portrayed as a joke - the dumb blonde w/ big boobs. & that coloured my view for a long long time, sorry to say. it also speaks volumes about how we often portray talented women. 🙄

There is no biological difference between us, other than superficial, yet we have this powerful dividing force... still... with all the books on the shelves ... with all of the knowledge...

The institutions of Religion, Science, and Medicine created this problem of race we see today.

They're supposed to be our moral compass and unbiased but they played critical roles in creating this mess.

It''s like cancer where if you miss one granular tissue cell, it multiplies and returns..

folks - Ever had fonts you had installed and used for years just disappear? (win10 btw - yeah I know...)

Turns out hubs saw them there SEVERAL DAYS AGO and “meant to tell me”… 🥸

Six days later. I mean I’m in here several times a day ! I probably would have noticed them sooner if I’d been wearing them… 🤓 # Sheesh

I miss her all the time, but just had a deep need to talk to my Mum just now. Not sure why especially, but might be the no-bake cookies her only granddaughter made for dessert today.

Wondering what Vera will get up to tonight... I guess we'll see, right Pet?

Let people speak without hashtags because life is potentially upsetting.
I'm 52 goddamn years old and all of life is upsetting

Just let people be and speak their lives without yelling HASHTAGS.
Because you can always block.
But you shouldn't.

With it’s always about keeping us safe. First they got the liquor employees to strike so we couldn’t drink but could drive. They’re back to work but now they have the auto ins. and driving testers etc on strike- we can drink but can’t drive. Of course I’m exaggerating but finding it funny all the same.

I saw a bumper sticker this weekend that said "Im a veterinarian, so I drive like an animal."

Suddenly, I realized how many Proctologists are on the roads.
