If you love animals (especially dogs), nature, diversity, humor, travel, democracy (but don’t obsess over politics) and health / wellness (not necessarily in that order) and are lgbtq+ or an ally, then say hi- we should probably follow each other 👋🏻

Blanche: I’m as jumpy as a virgin at a prison rodeo!

Dorothy: wow, that’s pretty jumpy.

I fear this isn’t going to go well. Please protest safely folks 🙏🏻

Thanks Gov, but we’ve started seeing other people. You know, the kind that don’t kick their friends in the teeth. We’re open to a mediated resolution but things will never be the same between us. Like ever.
Love 🇨🇦

My maternal grandmother fled f@scism in WWII and a wealthy Chicago man sponsored her and many other war refugees to find safe haven there. She would be horrified to see what’s happening there now. 😔

Picture of health 🙄 Save it. Nobody’s buying it anyway.

For some who perhaps may have missed PM Carney’s recent visit to the WH or misinterpreted some of his words. Thanks for the translation Brittlestar! 😏

They got off light imho, but at least they were found guilty and have to do some community service.

Rose: Charlie was the only lover I ever had and my first time was on our wedding night.

Blanche: Get out of here!

Dorothy: Oh, back off, Blanche! Not all of us are classified by the Navy as a friendly port!

Rose: Arnie wants me to go away with him on a cruise to the Bahamas.

Blanche: Oh, and you're upset because he wants you to pay your own way?

Rose: I'm upset because we'll be all alone. In the middle of the ocean. On a ship. In a state room. With a bed.

Blanche: oh 🤷

I’m so glad Adam posted this. There are aLOT of people who got duped and are having voter’s remorse. Wouldn’t it be better to respectfully invite them to the cause than continue to demonize and isolate them?

Thanks Adam 🙌🏻

International diplomacy and negotiation is extremely complex and difficult, especially now, yet our PM makes it look easy. Reading some of the comments here confirms not everyone understands that. Mr Carney is strategically focused on the bigger picture and long game and I’m with him 1000%

Randy’s Travels 🇨🇦🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈 @randystravels.bsky.social · 1d

Transformative is not necessarily a compliment, but he knows it will be assumed to be. Brilliant play. Remember the old saying “you get more from a bear with honey”…

Randy’s Travels 🇨🇦🇦🇺🏳️‍🌈 @randystravels.bsky.social · 1d

Love how he subtly re-framed “compete” vs. “conflict”. He has the bobblehead nodding too which is a bonus.

Sorry, what? I’m distracted by the decadent baked goods.

We remember him not just because of what happened, but because we refuse to let hate win. Because love deserves safety. Because no one should be hurt for being who they are.

This isn’t history. It’s a reminder. Be loud. Be kind. Be the reason someone feels safe. #LGBTQ+

Smiles and compliments are better than threats and insults. If you’re not seeing how masterfully PM Carney is orchestrating this delicate negotiation -which clearly the opposition ‘leader’ isn’t or refuses to -then you’re missing the point. Long game
