Lots of not great stuff happening in the world right now, so here’s a picture of something that cheered me up today - first bloom of the year from my garden #canadianblooms #rosaarvensis #lookforthegood #blueskygardens

Oh my god the bear is espresso ice so the coffee gets stronger as he melts

An iced coffee with a brown ice bear floating in it. A small Italian biscuit rests on the spoon.

If you feel bad about yourself after spending time with people or like you need to shrink yourself, then you need better friends 🌸🌺🌻🌼

Friends aren’t supposed to make you feel bad. Find friends that lift you up. Life is too short to spend time with bad friends.

If you’re over 30, quote this with some life advice 🤌🏼

I just need to put thoughts to words - the amount of vitriol coming from people (mostly conservatives) post election is exhausting.
If you’re using the Liberal win as an excuse to spew bigoted, racist, and transphobic comments - you’re not a good person.

Affirmation saying “It shouldn’t have to happen to you for it to matter to you” To encourage not being selfish.

As a former constituent of Poilievre’s (several years ago - didn’t have a high opinion of him then either), Carleton electing Bruce Fanjoy would really be the cherry on top for tonight #canadavotes #neverpoilievre #onpoli #ottawa

Was really delighted to meet Elizabeth May today in Sidney - hoping she’ll be headed back to Ottawa soon!
And yes, she was as lovely as I’d hoped #bcpoli #canadavotes #sidneybc #saanich

Saanich-Gulf Islands - before you go vote take a look at smartvoting.ca or votewell.ca

It's very close, don't let the CPC win your riding. Vote Elizabeth May

CPC slightly leading in Saanich-Gulf Islands. Vote Elizabeth May

Certain partisans have been citing Canada's performance on per capita GDP as evidence of a supposed 'lost decade' and economic mismanagement. In @irpp.org's Policy Options, I deconstruct this arbitrary and misleading statistic, in two parts. #cdnecon #cdnpoli. /2

Hoping the fact that the green signs still outnumber the blue in Saanich is a good omen #bcpoli #VancouverIsland

Saanich Gulf Islands, you are shockingly in a 3 way tossup in Elizabeth May’s riding. For this one I used all 3 sources 👇. Anything can happen in 18 days ( and I like Elizabeth M) best advice is to keep checking the polls and steel your heart to vote ABC.

Plus, fun fact, one of his professors at Wharton spent years saying he was the “dumbest goddam student I ever had”.

RIP Dr William T Kelley and thanks for this amazing quote.

My favourite time of year ☀️🌷☂️

RSPB @rspb.bsky.social · Mar 20

It's the Spring Equinox - the first astronomical day of spring! ☀️

Longer days. Lighter evenings.

Sunshine warm on your skin, birds singing, blossom in the branches.

Golden sunlight bursts through a tangle of budding trees, casting long beams of light across a mossy woodland floor. New green shoots push up through leaf litter and patches of moss, catching the glow of the morning sun. A soft haze fills the air, with a hint of warmth and life returning to the woods.

shesareader.bsky.social @shesareader.bsky.social · Mar 14

Very much agreed! I wish elected officials in the US would (publicly) show even half as much indignation and steadfast opposition to the president’s threats against us in Canada - and those threats towards Greenland.
Bravo sir in the hat!

I want to say thank you to all the women who are older than me and fought for everything we have, to the women who never pulled up the ladder behind them, to the ones who walked into the room as the first woman ever to be there. Thank you 🙏
