If you love animals (especially dogs), nature, diversity, humor, travel, democracy (but don’t obsess over politics) and health / wellness (not necessarily in that order) and are lgbtq+ or an ally, then say hi- we should probably follow each other 👋🏻

"There's time to hit back and there's time to talk. And right now, it's time to talk." - PM Carney

This is no time for Ford’s flashy fluster. I’m glad we have a calm, measured PM leading the way.

A friendly reminder from an outside ally to our American friends as they prepare to exercise their constitutional right at upcoming #NoKings days protest marches and rallies

He ONLY cares about himself. He does nothing unless there is something in it for him.

It’s time to say enough!
Stay safe❤️🤍💙

Sorry to hear you’re feeling ugh. Re-test in 24 hours. Might be a false negative?

Mr Haha: I hope everyone gets what they wished for.

Dorothy: Do you really Mr Haha?

Mr Haha: Dorothy, if I were you I’d put the cake down. You see, Mr Music’s brother is Mr Lawyer 😂

Not a fan of either but she deserved respect for her restraint. Ugh

Then he went on to refer to Canada’s Prime Minister as ‘Mr President’ saying it was better than calling him Governor (as he used to taunt Justin Trudeau)

Classy 😒

“Waiting [Palestinian] families said they had been called or visited by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ahead of the return of their relatives and told not to celebrate.”

How utterly cruel and authoritarian. These people have suffered immensely and deserve to celebrate their loved ones returning.

Hardly - if I was wise I’d avoid it altogether 😏 but I’m trying to balance sanity with staying informed.

Also we’re hoping to travel to Europe in a few months and hoping it remains peaceful. 🤞🏻

Oh you lazy educators 😉

My husband is a retired teacher so I know firsthand how much extra work / hours you put in for which you often receive little or no credit or appreciation.

Well done Principal ! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ok media, you know what to do right? Milk this for all it’s worth dissecting it ad nauseam like you did with Biden, right? He’s clearly unfit, right?🤨

Regardless, love how ‘President’ Carney has got him exactly where he wants him.

Sophia: For starters, Jean is a lesbian.

Blanche: What's funny about that?

Sophia: You aren't surprised?

Blanche: Of course not. I've never known any personally, but isn't Danny Thomas one?

Dorothy: Not Lebanese, Blanche.

I disagree. We need more of what Adam is saying. Empathy and understanding to help those who now realize they’ve been duped and regret their votes to join the democratic side.
