On Monday, Poilievre shared his party’s petition to “end DEI” and “restore the merit principle.”

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

No one on the left should ever say "Antifa" again. always say "anti-fascist." Make the right explain why they're anti-anti-fascism.

"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

There is a cat on my street who sounds almost exactly like a baby when she cries. It's uncanny!

It is, as I can babble in about art techniques forever, and it's nice to find others who like to listen! 😆
They keep asking me to teach a workshop and I'm seriously considering it. I just need a good topic and approach and the confidence! It might end up being something to give me purpose again.

I started going to an art club, and it's helping me feel more creative, and it's some socializing at least. I was creatively blocked for months before that because of depression.

Yes. Wind is bad too! 😣

My cavapoo does that. I always know she has something she shouldn't have, because she'll zoom under the bed where I can't reach! I keep little treats handy to lure her out, then I crawl under there to retrieve whatever. That's fun. 😝

I know a couple of people who have bought vacation condos there and in Costa Rica. I WISH. Alberta is really bad for fluctuating temps. I'm not too bad if temps stay steady, cold or not. It's better now that I'm moving about. It's the middle of the night that it's most brutal! 🥴

I think the adjustment from them needing me, to not as much now, plus them doing fun things and going places without me, is one of the most difficult things I've ever experienced. 😕
Kind of makes me feel like an old piece of furniture nobody has a use for anymore. Old, and boring. 😑

I just let the ugly crying happen. It helps to let it out. Feeling a bit better today.

I don't care about his love life, but it's disappointing that he isn't boycotting travel to the US like the rest of us. Let her come HERE.
