Ugh. 🙄

4 months till it closes!

It was 184 when I posted it this morning and was 831 just now. :)

Yes. Vegetarian dinner but not a salad. :)

“Thank you to our team at HBO. If you could continue to exist, that’d be great.”

U.S. Nurses Begin Arriving in Nanaimo YouTube video by Tod Maffin

@todmaffin.com put a story about this on his YouTube a while ago:

There's a whole story to tell about US relocation and Canadian outreach in places like Nanaimo, it appears.

Yeah, come July when everything’s in season, just toss it all (tomatoes on the stem, preferably) on a sheet pan with olive oil/salt & blast in the oven for 12-15 min at maybe 425, & while that happens, saute your halloumi, pour your wine.

Done, drizzle with dressing.

Nice with or without bread.

…by a meal plan thinger.

But I use better quality ingredients than they did, so it’s just lovely.

Nice with a dry non-fruity white wine.

Yes. Can’t have it much because dairy/me/bad.

But I used to do roasted zucchini, peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, as kinda a “Mediterranean ratatouille” which I’d dress in olive oil, lemon, honey, thyme, and I’d crisp up a bunch of halloumi to have with it. Amazing combo I was introduced to

Oh, I miss halloumi.

Yeah, I didn’t realize till I watched the video afterwards that it was the Black woman who said she left the USA because of all the overt racism who got applauded. I’m glad she felt welcomed.

American nurses leave U.S. for new lives on Vancouver Island A group of nurses who only a few months ago lived thousands of kilometres apart in the United States are now working side-by-side on Vancouver Island after leaving their lives south of the border behi...

A new US nurse who’s relocated here to Vancouver Island got all confused about cash at a store.

Asked where she was from, said USA.

Asked if she was one of the new American nurses in town, she said yes, and all the people nearby started clapping for her. 🥹

We can’t take everyone from the States. But we should make a concerted effort to provide refugee status to trans people from the USA.

What’s happening to them there is a hate crime.

I started boycotting them after getting frustrated about several things, like the shorts I love no longer being pure linen (linen/poly blend, gross).

They’re American so I can comfortably boycott them but it’s not 100% — they employee a lot of Canadians, etc, so I’ll keep them on my radar. :)

Oh wow. Much easier in my pet-free house where I do it 3 or so times a year. Ha. :)

Hah! Good idea. Next time. Turned out tricky but not too hard. :)

I wish!

No ties/clips in the corner. Now I know why they had them for sale on that page. 🙄

Moments from one of the most rewarding AND frustrating tasks of the homemaker:

Putting the duvet inside the cover.

Ironically, I had only mastered the old duvet/cover this past year.

Adventure. Let’s see how this one goes.

IKEA. Should be obvious, right? 🙄

Canada has some of the fucking coolest indigenous musicians, my life would be far less interesting if I’d never heard Tanya Tagaq, Jeremy Dutcher, Piqsiq, Elisapie, Zoon, Cris Derksen, Halluci Nation, Snotty Nose Rez Kids and others.

Sorry for just catching up but those layoffs at the Washington Post just four weeks ago included "the entire roster of Middle East correspondents and editors". Very cool for those of us who would like to know WTF is going on in the Middle East right now. bbc.com/news/article...

Inmate dies in Vancouver Island prison, nearly 32 years into his life sentence An investigation is underway after an inmate of the William Head Institution, a minimum security prison in Metchosin, died behind bars this week.

Guy had been eligible for full parole for 22 years and never applied. I assume this is unusual.

Only in Trump’s America would govt officials defend the man who is helping Iran kill U.S. troops.

Oh, what a drag that they changed it. But it's a cool app.

Pretty sure Woebot is still free. It helped me through a tough time when it first came out in 2017 and I'm sure it's better now. It's a phone app. Download it and see how it goes.

Woebot Health 🚀 Pioneering chat-based AI wellness solutions since 2017.

Try the WOEBOT app instead. It was developed by a US university as an attempt to use a chatbot that could help you navigate mental health and it's a really good support system that will not convince you to go on a murdering rampage, like what happened in my province last month.

Dude, that shit will fuck you up, not help you.

NOT Old Navy. I feel like all their shirts have been getting shorter and shorter. Literal shrinkflation.

Problem with making statements so... open to interpretation, via so diplomatically toeing the line, is people think we're gonna get involved militarily as USA allies. I think that is not even CLOSE to on the table.

He says here we wouldn't provide military support, but "government assistance."
