That's part of it, for sure. But also the riding is traditionally a resource-extraction economy. People worship the mills and lots of folks haven't spent much time outside their small-town echo chambers. It is a remarkably conservative place
Why do I feel a deep calling to send our MP a card every single day reminding him of the unceded territory he occupies?
How it started for our Member of Parliament who cried about land acknowledgment, and then how it went for him lol
Two weeks after news broke that ABC Coun. Lenny Zhou used Chinese-language social media to accuse unnamed fellow councillors of dispensing illegal drugs, COPE Coun. Sean Orr has filed a civil suit against the accusation’s source — Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. #vanpoli
Ours were definitely a little too related by the end, I am sure that accounted for the worst of it 😆
I also needed a number sampler so…
The world is a nightmare but animals are amazing. I taught my cat how to recognize the sign for eat in ASL and the dog has learned the word for egg in three languages
Honestly their capacity for learning languages is only limited by my own
That was my experience with americaunas. They are cute and occasionally make green eggs that everyone loves and also they will never stop screaming and being bad. Never ever again, omg 😆
In regarded to finding a reliable layer with dark feathers, I have had great success with austrolorps. All my gals are black feathered, good tempered, and really great layers!
I've been rewatching the first season of Last Week Tonight and the news then is EXACTLY the same as the news now: drone strikes in the Middle East, immigrant kids in detention camps, broken ceasefires in Gaza, everyone pinning their hopes on the mid-term elections, media consolidation, etc etc etc
Okay, I took a break to make a sampler of letters. Pick your fav! Or don't. It's a free country (for now)
For me, the best part about not working at the Georgia Straight is no more commenters threatening to rape and kill me daily for the crime being an outspoken woman
It was never the rules-based international order that wouldn't allow us to kidnap leaders, invade other countries, or bomb the everloving god out of poor countries
It was that we agreed not to, because it led to very bad outcomes. And we created the rules to reflect this
The rules are not your mum
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
The worst part of my most recent doctor's visit was being handed forms to sign that would allow AI use re: my medical records, which I absolutely refused. But then I had both the receptionist & doctor try to justify how they were using AI & it was all "safe"
Yeah, no.
The forms went unsigned
Nope, apparently by "nap", I meant four-hour complete crash
They stole my blood and now I need I nap
*And by "they", I mean the nurse at the hospital and by "stole", I mean I willingly allowed her to take it for testing and by "nap", I mean nap
#naptime
Just keep knitting, just keep knitting

Ugh, I feel even worse about this decision this morning and the NDP will absolutely never get my vote again. What an absolute dogshit decision
Also my grandfather died but somehow the Daylight Savings thing felt much more pressing to mention
The elimination of Daylight Savings Time by permanently pushing time forward is such a mistake & I'll be laughing at everyone in December when it doesn't get light until 9 a.m. while I'll be out here in the woods on Standard Time forever
Please remember to adjust your clock accordingly if visiting
So, just for my own edification, the precident to take out a country's leader *has* been set, yeah?
Lately I have only been watching every episode of The Big Fat Quiz of the Year in order and I have so many opinions
Like, who tf is David Walliams and why is he like that? See also James Corden; fuck the UK for exporting him. What an annoying little man
Coming to a craft market nowhere near you: just this phrase repeated and repeated as far as the eye can see
You're right. My father never had a good day, they were all nightmares 😆
Apparently I am doing it again
The reason Mamdani gets whatever he wants from Trump is simply that it is really easy to flatter and manipulate old men
Some of you were not raised by a father from the Silent Generation and it shows
So I went to the neurologist today and it turns out my brain *isn't* hooked up right after all
Every time I read a story about Kash Patel, the thought that goes through my mind is "J. Edgar Hoover would never"
Which is false—Hoover absolutely would be doing everything Patel is doing and more
If I had access to a tax-payer funded fuck jet, I would too
