Oh that's fantastic! Fingers crossed!

I was under the impression that your Canadian ancestor needs to have been a citizen in 1947 or more recently, but I may have this completely wrong!

I *think* the cut-off is 1947, but don't take my word for it, I'm still muddling through everything!

Woo woo! I'm also on this snipe hunt! Feeling optimistic, as my mum is Canadian. Currently scanning all the docs and applying for the cert.

Oh this is genius. Saving this one! (Also, hope your misery is brief. Stomach bugs are the worst.)

Oh my gosh, I was not terribly on board until I saw the specimen. MAIL TRUCK. ❤️

I'm going to read this as the other meaning of founder.

In addition to the insane Nazi shit his eagerness to fight in the Gulf War seems like substantial red flag.

Aw, that's great! Say hi to Michael for me! (I have no reason to assume he'll have any recollection of me. 😂)

Oh, have you played with him? His REM cover stuff seems like a fun project!

Pix or it didn't happen:

It was high school. And I will say that even at that early stage he could ACT in a way that the rest of us were like, "Oh, wow, this guy actually knows what he's doing." He was also just the nicest dude. I assume he still is.

Knuckles Noodle has somehow managed to land another round of influenza. This flu season seems to be extra shitty for the kiddos.

I was in a performance of Taming of the Shrew with Michael Shannon.

Hahahaha! I just did this one too, with the same result!

It looks like Crema has an outpost at Tabor Space now, which is a great funky spot inside a church. But this is like good funky church vibes, not shitty mega church vibes.

I came to say this! They used to have a great little play area that got killed by COVID, but I wonder if they brought it back? I haven't been since COVID, and now my kiddo has pretty much outgrown the play space thing.

It took me several guesses to understand the mechanics of the game, but I'm ready for tomorrow! 😂

Oh. Dear.

It doesn't LOOK good! What is it?

THANK YOU, I had to stare at "Tarzhay" for a long time to understand what they meant by that!

I am laughing about losing out to Boston. 😂

Thank you for posting, commented. WTF catastrophies from every conceivable angle. 😭

holy fuck holy fuck holy FUCK

Thank you, commented.

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was a bright light full of warmth. Your remembrance is lovely. ❤️

Armed ICE officer in Portland called 911 during confrontation: ‘I’m going to have to shoot this kid’ Dispatch records and a police report obtained by OPB describe the previously unreported incident last fall.

“I need someone here now, or else I’m going to have to shoot this kid,” an ICE officer told a Portland police dispatcher in late October, when he realized his vehicle was being tailed by someone on a motorized bike.
