Remember when it was too intrusive to ask the Premier if she had been vaccinated?

Now we have to announce details of our health to umpteen folks to get a vaccination.

And our daughters have to prove they have a vagina to play sports.

Political parties are also exempted from federal do not call lists

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 1d

I believe that any political party has access to the voter list including phone #. I dont know how they got cell numbers though

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 1d

Seems there must have been another reason / use, but what do I know

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 1d

Do it!

Chatted with a friend from Toronto - the team increased ticket prices this summer after the team was doing good and interest was building.

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 2d

Nope I think it is the crack of dawn scheduling.

An early class is it?

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 3d

Physio, physio and then strength training to rehab

So... bandit camping - does that include pitching your tent in a closed campground count? Totally asking for a friend... @bikebikeyyc.bsky.social

I hope each of us can spread a few grains of the kindness that he brought to this place

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 15d

I am sure that is already the rule, but enforcement is near impossible. I have chatted with a CO in fcpp and their frustration is huge.

Amazon shipments arent clear where the local depot is. I think it is currently the local rural convenience store, but it has also been a store in town.

My dad has 2 choices for internet, Starlink or a Telus owned wireless company. It's shit and Starlink is way more than he needs, and way more costly.

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 15d

Well if they all got taken up, who is left but the forsaken to take down the damn signs?

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 15d

You are fortunate to live in a city. Amazon does a shit job in smaller communities. The assumption that everyone can use online billing and online banking is wrong tok. Rural communities in Canada have shitty internet and our seniors do not have the ability or desire to learn.

I need to say a few words about Darren.
He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world.
And we are poorer for his departure from it.
Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.

Nah, hope for the best, plan for the rest. Get ready but enjoy the fall rides

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 18d

Damn, my favorite winter bike ride photo isnt on my phone My second ever, the first being a ride around the block after studded tires were put on. -18 for a medical appt and when I finished I was treated to the most glorious sunrise.

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 18d

I heard and it isnt just Edmonton's loss.

Rose R @rinrat86.bsky.social · 18d

Is this only a story because its affecting boys going into engineering? The entrance for nursing programs is much higher.
Also - bad advice if the kid isnt told to look at other universities

Plague Poems @plaguepoems.bsky.social · 22d

I asked the historian,
who studies the dark times,
how it has come to this
and she replied:
it’s because we have failed
to take care of each other.

So I asked her
if we will get through this
and she replied:
if we do
it will be because we
took care of each other.

Sorry to hear. May the day bring small gifts to lighten your spirit.
