Feeling empty chinned. Got myself all shaved up for Movember and despite repeated attempts no way of plugging into account. Go support Movember, folks, I'm sure there's someone else who is looking for support. I'm back on the beard growing route 🤔😊

Care for us? True indeed! They ne’er car’d for us yet. Suffer us to famish, and their store-houses cramm’d with grain; make edicts for usury, to support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act establish’d against the rich, and provide more piercing statutes daily to chain up and restrain the poor.

Yup. We're just one household but the few thousand dollars we usually spend on US goods and visits is remaining in Canada. As are we. No longer trust the US, even if individuals we know are lovely, the country is a mess, and it's what they voted for! There are no innocent bystanders here.

Why won’t they take responsibility for their country’s actions? Innocent they are not, it’s your fault. We didn’t start this fiasco and only you can end it. Your self described exceptionalism doesn’t cut it here.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Not sure about taking advice from public washrooms, but it made me laugh

Wounded Knee was a massacre of innocent people, including women and children.

It was one of many atrocities committed by the United States against Native Americans.

The heroes were those who fought against the US military. They deserve our honors. Not those who used Hotchkiss guns against children

Don't we all know someone for whom this would be a great nickname?

Victoria Love @victorialove.bsky.social · Sep 25

Drama Noodle

(The nickname for a hognose snake, a species known for its exaggerated defensive behaviors, including hissing, flattening its head to mimic a cobra, and playing dead (thantosis) by flipping onto its back, convulsing, and sometimes defecating to deter predators.)
