What kind of booze goes with chammomile tea?

This is really a Thanksgiving cactus so it's right on time ;) Christmas cactus have slightly different shaped leaves.

Agree. If you haven't yet, check Proko. Lots of free content on the site (and YouTube too) and you can dive deep (pay) when ready.

A lovely view. Anthurium sp cirinoi black, in the back row, is especially fantastic right now.

Still $200 for my family of 4.

One good thing about the Alberta Teacher's Strike is that kids aren't immersed in disease this fall. Considering we can't get our Covid shot unless we pay $600 for our family of 4, at least risk is mitigated for now. #abpoli

Just checked Shoppers which seems to be offering them. $150 per person. I have 4 people in my family. Freaking outrageous.

Canadian Super Pigs would be a fantastic band name.

Blessed are the frogs, for they keep making authoritarians look incredibly stupid
Three persons in inflatable frog costumes. One of them is holding a nicely painted sign with two little cartoon frogs holding hands, below the text "FROGS TOGETHER STRONG"

These assholes ran a (taxpayer funded) advertising campaign saying ALBERTA IS CALLING begging people to move here. Did they not get the 'right' kind of people? FUCK THEM.

Carney chooses every word with intention. He does not misspeak. He has said all of this before and he knows exactly who he is dealing with and how to handle him. He's doing a fantastic job and anyone who has been in a relationship with a narcissist will recognize this tactic and see strength in it.

An amazing rally for public education. 20,000+ Albertans with one united message for Danielle Smith:

Pay the teachers.
Fund the schools.
Remind your discriminatory policies.

It is time to put the PUBLIC back in public education.

Why do populist politicians lie? Because it works. But let’s call this what it is—a media crisis. There is no journalistic integrity and it is very quickly undermining democracy. It should be illegal to intentionally lie in a publication.

Did you know, after the war of 1812–Canadians burnt down the White House, in 1816 the US decided to build a Fort to stop another invasion of the British in Canada, without realizing that they built it on Canadian soil 🤣 🤭🤪 earning the nickname Fort Blunder

Alberta's 2025 budget allocates $461 million to charter schools, but there's no money for public school teachers.

There's almost half a billion for projects directly associated with two hockey arenas, but there's no money for public school teachers.

Can Jason Kenney kindly fuck off and keep fucking off?
He's just going to show up and lie and huff and puff on camera, and people will take him seriously because he fakes sounding authoritative when he's indignant. Stop giving him credibility. #PnPCBC

I'm sorry, that sucks.
