Hello Bluesky! 👋🏻

I'm a #yyc based politically active millennial who loves reading, music, and dabbling in a little witchcraft 🔮

I also love travelling, trying new restaurants, and snuggling with my two cats, Nelson and Gracey (photo attached)

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Just randomly remembered Grindstone Theatre's "Jason Kenney's Hot Boy Summer" and now I desperately need to see a musical about Danielle Smith's governance on literally any issue

I'm seeing a couple of people saying their UCP MLA's constituency offices are closed with no warning. Any journalists working on finding out why?

Does pee hurt clover or mulch? I wonder 🤔

Today's not off to a good start. I failed getting Nelson's dose of insulin into his body (fur shot) and got stuck behind a giant train on the way to work. I need the day to turn around ASAP.

Calgary election PSA. We haven't heard of a single candidate forum in Wards 2, 3, 12, 13 or 14. And three of those have no incumbents. What gives?? WAKEY WAKEY, FOLKS! There's an election in 20 days! Get a candidate debate going already! The Sprawl will even livestream it for you! #yyccc

We have come much further than we think. The UCP are only particularly vile now because they know the conservative chokehold on this province is eroding. We have to keep going. 3/3

As a teenager I felt I was among a small group of left-leaning folks, now look how many of us there are scattered across this province connecting through social media daily. 2/3

A friend was down about how conservative Alberta is so I reminded him that when we were in high school many years ago, an NDP opposition was unthinkable. 1/3

I say this all the time but I'm gonna try to spend more time on Bluesky. I actually like that no one talks to me here 😂

This is so worth watching. Evan is amazing! I'm shocked to hear that Bruce didn't reach out to apologize personally to Evan and am horrified to hear that his high school's stairwells aren't up to fire code. My God.

Thank you @mark-carney.bsky.social lol

Just found out that a highly coveted brand of low carb dry cat food is going to be available in Canada soon and I'm so happy I could cry. It's been SO HARD finding kibble for Nelson and I'm thrilled to have more options.

I'd estimate there are ~100K children under 12 in AB schools, given enrollment of over 700K in the province

100,000 x $150 = potentially $15,000,000 A WEEK instead of investing in schools and teachers

Don't let anyone fool you into thinking conservatives are better w/ money #ableg #abpoli #abed

NEW:

Alberta announces parents of children 12 and under will receive $150 week per child over the course of a possible teachers' strike.

Last night, Bruce McAllister, the voice of this government, suggested a young student be beaten after daring to ask about education funding and the teachers strike. /1

Disgraceful conduct by Bruce McCallister at last night's Alberta Next Panel in Calgary. @abdanielsmith.bsky.social and her bullies have no place in leadership. Silencing and threatening a citizen is cowardly. Evan deserves an apology.

Screwing over a whole generation of future voters to boot.

@canadianpolling.bsky.social I hope you're planning on doing some AB polling over the next few weeks. Things are about to get chaotic here.

Trying to think of something to email my province's premier besides "eat shit"

Just wondering if anyone knows why Terry Wong's signs are a) comically tiny and b) not using Communities First branding? Seems a bit dishonest to not represent yourself as a party candidate, no?

Sarah @mirosar.bsky.social · 20d

I wish I could scroll Bluesky from the bottom to the top like Twitter. It's truly one of the main reasons I don't go on here much.

There's nothing wrong with joking about a bad thing that happened to a bad person who explicitly stated he wants to live in a world where that *exact* bad thing happens to other people.

I understand why they're not, but I really wish the AB NDP would publicly support the Forever Canadian campaign
