I was sitting in my car earlier today while my daughter and her boyfriend grabbed their groceries. I am Taxi Mom, they don’t drive.

I heard a little voice pass my car and ask what the heart was for. An older voice paused, presumably looked at the back of my car, and responded, “Oh, Ukraine.”

A heart shaped sticker on the back of my car. The top half is blue, the bottom half is yellow, to represent the flag of Ukraine. I can’t do much, but hopefully displaying the heart generates some awareness and inspires conversation about the present situation in Ukraine.

I was encouraged by CTVs chyron, they didn’t make him sound like a great guy. The media usually seems to try to make him seem sane.

An actual message I received on a dating app. 🙄🙄🙄

DUDE! Insulting my country is not the way to win my heart. 🤬

I mean, he almost got “youre” right, better than “your” at least. But still. Please don’t think that a threat to take over my country is a good pick up line. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦

Spotted new photos of Luigi Mangione on Facebook and the comments section did not disappoint. One commenter asked what was different between Luigi and Charlie Kirk’s killer and I appreciated the response given.

Remember: Murder is wrong, period, so please don’t do murders.
Luigi Mangione, handcuffed with a police escort. Luigi Mangione A sampling of comments left on a public Facebook post of photos of Luigi Mangione. Not me saying outloud "I love me a man in uniform" "He may be a felon, but he's the reason I felon love" mama im in love with a criminal Is he allowed conjugal visits? Asking for myself. I've never felt happy that another man was getting more puss than me but I'll make a compromise for Luigi. Go get em gals. He literally did what Trump bragged about.... A screenshot from Facebook on the subject of Luigi Mangione. A question was asked about the difference between Luigi and the shooter of Charlie Kirk. This was one person’s response. “Luigi shot the man responsible hundreds of American deaths and thousands more of those Americans suffering from denied care. “You need a heart transplant because yours is failing? Wow, that sucks. If only the insurance you paid for covered it. You're filing for bankruptcy because your dad had cancer, insurance denied chemotherapy last minute, and you had to pay out of pocket even though he's had that insurance for years? Bummer. Too bad your brother died of a brain tumor. They might have caught the symptoms if insurance hadn't decided they knew better than his doctors did. “Luigi isn't celebrated because he shot a person. Luigi is celebrated because he stood up against the oppression of the system that is slowly, but surely killing us and taking our money while it does. “I believe that the Charlie Kirk assassination (because thats what it was) was a political move to cause further division and it worked. “So, no. They are not the same and they were done for completely different reasons.”

I’m not celebrating cold-blooded murder, but I’m also not heartbroken about it. My empathy is perhaps better suited for those who believe in it.

Looks amazing!! Your authentic self sure has a wonderful space!

I went to visit my Mom today. I took a few moments to just enjoy being outside in the country. This is part of the front yard. Driveway at the far right of the photo.
So much green. Part of the front yard at my Mom’s. A big maple and a big willow take up most of the space and there’s a ladder leaning against the trunk of the maple tree.

Happy Obama Appreciation Day!

This Canadian 🇨🇦 girl sure did appreciate when sanity, eloquence, intelligence and kindness was in the White House in the form of Barack Obama. I had the luxury of feeling safe back then. I sure miss it.

Me, next to my Dad. 1970.
A photo of me as a baby in a white bonnet, sound asleep in the front seat of the car in an infant car seat of the time. 1970. It looks to be nothing more than a flat part to sit on, and a rigid semi-circle part at my chest height, which I’ve fallen asleep on. A homemade doll can be seen tucked in behind me.

Some of my favourite blurbs on the subject of neutrality. Generally speaking, believing you’re being neutral when one side is clearly being hurt.. you aren’t. There is no neutral. You’re essentially just telling the bad side to carry on.

We must always clearly side with those who need us.
Black text on a white background. The text is as follows: The Myth of Neutrality In his book, "Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" Lundy Bancroft says, "to remain neutral is to collude with the abusive man, whether or not that is your goal .. Anyone who chooses to quietly look the other way therefore unwittingly becomes the abuser's ally." “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” Elie Wiesel (Holocaust Survivor) IF YOU ARE NEUTRAL IN SITUATIONS OF INJUSTICE, YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE SIDE OF THE OPPRESSOR. - DESMOND TUTU- Multicoloured ducks (possibly geese?) stand atop a sign that reads: “YOUR SILENCE IS JUST AS LOUD AS THEIR HATRED.”

That reminds me of this image.
An underwater image of a school of fish, gathered in the shape of a giant fish, about to devour a shark. The shark is much larger than the individual fish, but significantly smaller than the collection of fish together. The caption reads, “I wish more people understood this photo.”

Relevant to the quoted post, this one was shared by a friend on Facebook. 💪🏻✌🏻🕊️❤️
PROTECT THE PEACEFUL PROTEST THE SIT-DOWN WAVE What to do if violence breaks out at a protest: 1. SIT DOWN-TOGETHER Lower yourself to the ground immediately. Stay where you are. 2. SILENCE IS POWER Stop chanting, put down signs, and remain silent. 3. SPREAD THE SIGNAL Gesture or quietly tell others to sit. Let the action ripple through the crowd like a wave. 4. DO NOT ENGAGE Don't argue, confront, or respond to aggression. Discipline speaks for itself. 5. MAKE PEACE VISIBLE A calm, seated crowd is a powerful image for the world —and the cameras — to see. Nonviolence is powerful, strategic, and united. #SitDownWave #PeacefulProtest #NonviolentPower #Gandhi

I think my wish to become Snow White is slowly coming to pass. This little bunny was snacking beside the parking lot at my friend’s when I pulled up and surprisingly it did not hop away immediately. It sat and listened and kept snacking as I chatted away for a couple minutes. Made my day. ❤️

The question came to mind after I’d read a post on Facebook about the resourceful and brilliant attack that Ukraine carried out.
Screenshot of a post from Facebook. 1 of 3. "During a tense Oval Office meeting, Donald Trump looked President Zelenskyy in the eye and told him he "didn't have the cards" and was "not in a good position." What Trump never realized was that, even as he delivered that line, Zelenskyy was quietly overseeing one of the most daring and effective military operations of the war. For over a year and a half, Ukrainian intelligence meticulously planned a covert drone assault deep inside Russia, targeting strategic airfields and bombers that had been launching devastating attacks on Ukrainian cities. Screenshot from a post on Facebook. 2 of 3. The operation itself was a masterclass in ingenuity and stealth. Ukrainian teams smuggled 117 drones into Russia, hiding them in wooden crates and mobile sheds mounted on trucks. Once inside the country, the drones were reassembled and launched from secret locations near Russian airfields, with operators coordinating the attack across three time zones. The mission was directed from an office right next to a Russian security headquarters, and communications were routed through Russian cell networks to avoid detection. The drones, which cost a fraction of the price of the aircraft they targeted, inflicted an estimated $7 billion in damages by destroying or severely damaging more than forty Russian bombers-some of which are valued at over $500 million each and cannot be easily replaced. Screenshot of a post from Facebook. 3 of 3. Trump was completely blindsided by the strike and had no idea it was coming. Ukrainian officials made a deliberate choice not to share their plans with him, fearing he might tip off his friend Putin and compromise the mission. So while Trump taunted Zelenskyy about not having any cards, Zelenskyy was quietly playing a masterful hand. That is what you call a true poker face-holding your cards close and revealing them only when it counts, leaving your opponent stunned and outplayed."

Ukraine reportedly hit five airbases in Russia and destroyed or damaged at least 41 Russian bombers worth $7B.

“Spider’s Web” took a year and a half to plan and carry out. And Trump knew nothing about it, for obvious reasons.

I had a thought about Ukraine’s attack in Russia.. 🤔

Did Biden know? 😏
