Meanwhile innCanada:
A photo of a median in the middle of a parking lot/car park. The median is fenced with tall chain link fencing because there are a pair of Canada geese nesting on the median (in the middle of the parking lot/car park). There is a large sign attached to the fence that reads, "Canada geese nesting - Stay Back". In the background of the photo is a Bank of Montreal.

An image based on the "This Is Fine" meme with one black & white photo of three women wearing short skirts walking down a street labeled "Women in Afghanistan, 1972" and a second, colour photo (still image from the film of Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale), of four women in long red robes and large white hoods, labeled "Women in America, 2026".

Graphic in the style of the "This is fine" meme with the text "George Orwell's Big Brother", "Margaret Atwood's Gilead", and "Martha Wells' Corporation Rim" joined by curvey arrows. An arrow labled "We Are Here" points to just before the arrow reaches "Margaret Atwood's Gilead".

I have a plant (if anyone knows what it is, please let me know) that is almost finished unfurling a new leaf. I think it's really cool that you can see the striation-like markings from one side getting more sun when it was still tightly rolled.

It's called 'foot balm' but I use it on my hands, feet, elbows & knees. Smells of peppermint. Possibly made by evil people, I haven't done the research. "Blistex Co." so it's not Nestlé at least.
