I'm a consultant (business strategy) and a real estate agent somewhere, but in this place it's my unwork life...reading, writing, books, kindness, cooking, knitting, food, grandkids, walking, and loving a peaceful life.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nationβs people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustnβt let this war do so.
I am swinging by from time to time. I miss the good people. But I have my grand-girls for a week, starting this weekend, so you won't see much of me.

They are quite magical from this perspective, Lindy. O Canada! π¨π¦
Adding to my list.
Today Iβm proposing a ban on assault rifles, high-capacity magazines, binary triggers, firearms without serial numbers, and more.
Good grief. Things I don't miss about the big smoke.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.
And they're regressive β taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.
Apparently they're busy wreaking havoc in Mexico.
We love Canadian Tire. In Nova Scotia at least there is usually an Electrify Canada in the parking lot to charge your EV and always a clean restroom and they allow dogs in the store. And they seem to have almost anything you need.
This means he's got someone to blame if it doesn't work out, right, @nickhalo.bsky.social, "chair consultant"?
From @theathletic.com: Team Canada came back from 2-0 down to score with just 35 seconds left to beat Finland in the men's hockey semifinals. They await the winner of USA vs. Slovakia in the Olympic gold medal game.
Itβs a morning for the WH to hide the ketchup bottles:
Bad GDP numbers.
Not great inflation numbers.
Tariffs overturned by SCOTUS.
They forgot the swastika.
Same. Saw my husband's face without my glasses for the first time!
@knitswithcats.bsky.social I had a prescription like that. Was told surgery wasn't possible but had a consult with one of the top surgeons and he said I just needed a different kind of surgery. This was almost 15 years ago, and now I just need readers for books and close work.
Berry pancakes with maple syrup
Bon Mardi gras!
Much better than resto food, Tom.
Deck that has had 4ft of snow shoveled
Finally seeing the deck
Couldn't stand wading through snow to the bird feeder any more.
Making my own sweater pattern...not sure of this slope.
I did some things this #familyday
Thank you, Beth!
This is the review which finally convinces me to stay home under the duvet.

Last time I saw a good curling dust up was back in Winnipeg when my junior high curling team battled it out with a notorious curling gang from Flin Flon.
Humans. I like Humans. I even write...letters!
You may touch grass, but as im sure you remember, I'll be touching snow awhile yet! π₯°
I'm back, but only occasionally. Short gratitude list, as this place and other socials, aren't my focus anymore... @dereklwalker.bsky.social , @brainchain.ca, @pepevalencia.bsky.social π₯°πΆπ»ββοΈπ§ΆπͺΎππ»βοΈ
More helpful insights for us all. Shouldn't this be easy enough to understand? So why are there so many people who look like me, who just don't get it? ππ»
