Oh wow hi new followers, welcome along on this long, strange trip we call life.
I'm Revontulet, I'm an Aquarius, I immigrated to Canada nearly 15 years ago from the US, I like photography, cooking, house/bass music, stories about your cats, & playing Diablo 4. I'm learning to DJ & make bad mashups.

Quebec has the highest inflation rate in Canada due to rising rents and food prices
Quebec currently has the highest inflation rate in Canada, with rising grocery prices and rents accounting for much of the increase.

Across many years as a parenting columnist, I've written about vaccine heistancy multiple times. Each time, I've tried to be sensitive and empathetic to these people but, if I'm honest, nothing has ever gotten closer to my true feelings about them than this meme from a decade ago.

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.
There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns
The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

I was lucky enough to volunteer with Laurabel, and she is absolutely correct. Newfoundland and Labrador have a growing, diverse population, Black History Month is not a partisan issue, and the PCs should step up and show us they're the progressive conservatives they claim to be.

One of the funny things in the prepper community is how it is all gender. The husband only hoards guns and ammo, the wife only hoards food.
At no point do their hobbies intersect the way they do in reality, in ways actual people do.

If more preppers were serious about learning all useful skills – and not only the macho ones – they’d learn crocheting and/or knitting. It’s SO important to know how to make wearables in a pinch
Two months ago I started crocheting, and now I’m making people handmade presents. I love art and crafts

This was the intended outcome of the abortion ban.
Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Not great how U.S. foreign policy is a combination of white nationalism, eugenics, preening toxic masculinity, and groveling for the approval of hostile nations before assisting our allies.
This is a direct violation of long-standing US policy toward Taiwan.
Beginning with the 1982 version, the Six Assurances to Taiwan explicitly states that the U.S. will not consult with China on arms sales to Taiwan.
Nor will the U.S. set an end date of arms sales to Taiwan.

Why would anyone ever bother interviewing for a job that a company isn't bothering to interview you for
“AI interview” is where we are at in this hellscape job market.
It was bad enough to apply to jobs that were likely mostly non-existent to begin with, now if you even get an interview it won’t be with a real person.
