My six-year old is building her first computer with her father. He’s used human anatomy to describe each part of the computer, and then she’s excitedly run up to me and explained it all— because Mom’s a biology, not a technologist 😂

Have I had stomach issues for the last two years? Yes. But did I order a bundle of hot sauces from a company called Crippling Hot Sauce by Drew Davis, who has Cerebral Palsy, with the intent to eat them all? Absolutely. #CripplingHotSauce #cerebralpalsy #smallbusiness #disabledcommunity

The @playstation.com Access Controller will have been out for two years, this week. I’ve been trying to find a replacement for the wide dome stick cap, because I control the joystick with my wrist. They STILL have no options for buying them, or are any help at all. #accessibility #accessiblegaming

So MAGA will choose avoidable death, unnecessary suffering, heightened miscarriage risks, and preventable illnesses over the *thought* of an autistic child.
BUT will they give up on being creeps that need their son’s penis to be…attractive? (Honestly, couldn’t find a way to word that without the 🤢)

So my kid watch Ms Rachel a lot. Coo, love Ms Rachel. HOWEVER, that Mashed Potato song is *haunting me*. No matter what we’re doing, my brain suddenly goes “ON MY NOSE, MASHED POTATOES, BETWEEN MY TOES…”. I miss when my ear worms were Fleetwood Mac or Buddy Holly. #msrachel #mashedpotatoes

I’m so proud of everyone who showed up and lent their voices to the masses.

While 3.5% is seemingly a significant percentage, historically, it’s not a magic number. Consistency is key. Call your representatives regularly to remind them of their duties to the constituents who voted for them.

Is it just me, or is it WILD that @playstation.com doesn’t make replacement parts for the access controller available? I’ve been searching for the dome stick cap, because it’s the only one that’s comfortable for my wrist to work with, for over a year. #onehandedproblems #accessibility

Went to get our irrigation pipes set up…. Guess who isn’t getting sprinklers for a while yet 😒.

Americans, call your representatives. Call your senators. They need to be reminded that they’re supposed to be voting in favour of YOUR best interests, not that of the 1%.

Your voice matters. Their job security is dependent on your support- make them work for it.

This is Bandit. He’s 15, and the loveliest little dog I’ve ever known. Once upon a time, he mothered piglets during a tough, winter farrowing. He loves babies of all species outside of his own.

Today is Bandit’s last. I needed to share him as I prepare for the reality of life without him.

Quick! Someone turn my words back on me, and wish for me to get everything for which I voted😁

I just cannot see the logic in charging $300-$500 for the opportunity to get a single photo taken with a celebrity.

We were stoked to attend the Calgary Expo, because we love BTTF. I guess I’ll let you know how it goes?

Sharing a foundation created by a family in Montana. Their son was diagnosed with a previously undocumented condition. Families like theirs often can’t find resources, get little assistance, and pay thousands out of pocket for travel and specialists. They endeavour to help.

Are my chickens a bit odd? Yes.

Do they get the Royal treatment from everyone in our circle, because they feed several families? Also yes.

When you support local farmers, they can often barter with you for good. Our friends give scraps and other treats for the hens, and I keep prices low.

Logical Moose knows that this is a limited poll, and being online means it can’t really be considered accurate.

However, as a Canadian living in the US, this is still distressing.

New poll says 27% of Canadians view the United States as an 'enemy' country
The poll suggests another 30 per cent still say they consider the U.S. an ally.

Blue businesses, hear me out:

In honour of the tangerine tyrant- instead of a Presidents Day Sale, change your prices to reflect how he’s “fixed” the price of groceries and gas. Then, afterwards, have a sale to celebrate the rest of Black History Month.
