I went to Edinburgh two and a half years ago, and it’s still the default city for the weather widget on my phone. I don’t know whether I want to try and fix it because I have no idea how I made it glitch in the first place.

I might be more impressed if it was the conservative Lutheran branch offering its support, but it’s not. 🤷♀️

I need to print something so it gets a wet signature, and I didn’t realize how deep my “don’t leave patient information lying around” aversion went because I’m emailing it to a coworker to print off at work so I don’t have to print it off at the library.

I really need my coworker to stop doing her fucking peanut gallery impression (she’s a white woman in her 40’s who needs to stick her nose into everyone’s business and I don’t think she comprehends how other people can have different thoughts than her because she just shuts down if it’s mentioned.)

Albertans! If you're fed up with the UCP, here is "Operation Total Recall" website. (omg that name lol)
There's volunteer opportunities, etc. Check your MLA's name, and you can contact the email provided, esp if they are collecting names, etc (they might need help).

Albertans are you tired of your useless UPC MLA? Well, check the recall website, get involved, kick ass.
Remember: some of them only won their seats by handfuls of votes.
They wanted the recall ability so much (b/c of the evil socialists). Well, use it against them. 🤘

Tomorrow, from 9 AM to noon, St. Albert students are organizing a walk-out and a march in support of Teachers.
As a dad, former Teacher and education minister, I support this. Missing school is warranted in support of social justice and civil right.
I’ll join them.

Where's the premier while MLAs rush through an all-night debate on stripping Albertans of their Charter rights?
An airport lounge, waiting for a flight to Saudi Arabia. She didn't even bother to show up for the vote.
I remember when conservatives turfed premiers for this level of hubris.
