Because the bison, who was VERY INTERESTED in those carrots, poked its head in the car window...and got stuck

Got itself loose again eventually but the picture of the car afterward was, uh, cautionary

Window frame all bent and crumpled like tin foil 💀

There is a safari-ish place called Parc Omega near here where you drive along a trail to see all kinds of native animals up close - you can bring carrots to feed the deer and elk

However you are specifically forbidden to feed the bison

And someone made headlines finding out why (1/2)

It's not that BookTwitter circa 2015 "got me" an agent/book deal, but it gave me so much insight, feedback, & opportunity idk how I would have managed it without. It changed everything!!!

And most recently my beloved floofy foster dog found an amazing forever home thru a last ditch FB plea ❤️

Yknow that subheading seems, uhhhh, pretty true actually, but in the OTHER DIRECTION - the cops sure jump in double quick if Indigenous or Palestinian protesters dare to block an intersection, but aggrieved antivax weirdos get the run of the place for 3 weeks until the feds step in apparently?? UGH

TOUGH ON CRIME but no not like that come on now

I can't wait for Conservatives to be consistent with previous tough-on-crime sentiments and demand jail time instead of house arrest.
That's going to happen, right?

Freedom Convoy leaders Chris Barber and Tamara Lich each get an 18-month conditional sentence; first 12 months to be served as house arrest. Judge cites principal of "deterrence and denunciation" of their activities.
