Newfoundlander, neurodivergent, nerves rubbed right raw. Used to be a hot mess but pleased to announce I am no longer hot.

Trying to keep track of current events feels like picking up confetti piece by piece as someone sets off another confetti cannon behind you every five minutes

I see everyone is still having an extremely normal one

NL Diagolon fanboy Jeff Gardner is pushing a Second Sons chapter here called Saltwater Sons. Nothing says "real power" like having to pay for an AI to add dozens of identical soldiers to your video to hide the reality of it being four sad sacks of shit out for a giggly Nazi larp.
Get a hobby, b'ys.

If it was a question of character, he'd have beaten the incumbent in a landslide. Politics has very little to do with character, though.

It's been a long few months but now normal life can resume, at least!

WELP.

I'm proud of my husband. That will never change.

When the federal election was over I said "ah, the NL election will be a little less stressful" AND THEN MY HUSBAND RAN AS A CANDIDATE

First choice: Canadian
Second choice: Anywhere else

United States is a distant third, and that's assuming it's something I can't go without. One of my son's safe foods being an American product is one that bothers me but he barely eats as it is.

If a nice Canadian dude says "hey buddy" in a certain tone your best bet is just dissolving into your composite atoms and floating away

If I hear a Canadian address me as "buddy" every alarm bell in my head is going off, I'm about to get thrown in a lake

I will always have the utmost faith in this man to do the right thing and act with integrity and respect. If he is half as good a politician as he is a husband and father, I believe he can do great things.

After considerable thought and discussion with friends and family, I’ve decided to put my name forward to seek the Liberal nomination for the District of Terra Nova. (thread)

My dad asked why my husband hasn't gotten into politics and I had to explain it's partially because he is married to a feral goblin with an inability and a refusal to shut the fuck up

Where are we on the oubliettes, I've been out all day

Lynn Burton @disasterballet.bsky.social · Mar 14

Texts from the Democrats in 2027: "If you are reading this in your allotted ten minutes of daylight per day before being flung back into your state-issued oubliette, we need your help. Just $5 will help your representative write a strongly worded letter telling the guards to throw you more gently."

He'd probably be disappointed I only called one redditor a dickhead. Those are amateur numbers.

Oh, some Reddit dickhead, which is about exactly what I'd expect of Reddit

"Does your husband know how you speak on social media"

Imagine thinking he hasn't known I was a semi-feral shit disturber since day 1, it was literally on my dating profile

The amount of work I missed when my kids started daycare (Germs) and then kindergarten (Germs 2: Electric Booger Flu) resulted in SO much lost income, my gosh. Not to mention that it's miserable seeing them sick! And then getting the same crud myself!

Three incredibly busy and productive days meant my body woke up this morning and said "ehhh" and my brain said "lol fuck no"

What if we invented a thing that was like the news but it didn't make you feel like a scream was permanently lodged in your throat

It clarifies absolutely nothing but creates at least one thousand more questions

Finally saw my first Cybertruck in person and nothing truly prepares you for how hideous they actually are. It is breathtaking in its complete absence of any redeeming quality.

I expect that will be Pancake's fate as well. Orange cats are A Lot.

My girl orange cat yells like an air raid siren, drools when you pet her, and is allergic to her own teeth. Her inner monologue is the sound of a tumble dryer filled with towels and four rocks. She is a ravioli filled with unspeakable violence.
