Here we go, my followers.

Now that the election is over and people are once again talking about electoral reform, I'm going to start promoting my preference.

This lovely Aussie explains this system beautifully.

It still produces majority governments and also blocks the fringes.

Love this sign. A few others do too!

It is fun to text people in Portland and ask them if they’re ok and if the warzone has affected them and see how they respond 🤣

P.s. Obviously this refers to Powells books, the largest independent bookstore.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I desperately hope some of these people face the international criminal court over their recent actions, and this heartless bitch is at the top of the list with Trump.

Nobody else anywhere in the world calls it anything other than what it is - The Gulf of Mexico.

Trump can rant and whine all he wants but he cant force the rest of us to give in to his tantrums.

I appreciate all the help. Id much rather make my own if it’s cheaper and not too hard to make.

Oh and hey - how long would i be leaving the weed in the alcohol before i strain it out?

Im in Canada, so things are different here. I take heavy meds every day just so i can walk inside my house, get dressed, and make basic suppers. I rarely leave home anymore.

If this can reduce my pain so that i can engage in more activities of life, I’ll be ecstatic.

Ill have to try it because its way cheaper than gummies. Like about 1/4 of the cost. Gummies are at least $1/each and have varying levels of THC for that.

Thanks for the tip.

Reformed Reformer and Part Owner of Canada 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇬🇱🇵🇦🏳️‍🌈 @reformedreformer.bsky.social · 12h

Please tell me how you’re determining that each ml will be about 40mg. I can figure the cost out, but there isnt a formula for adding an ounce of weed to pure alcohol to get X amount of THC per ml.

I just want to know how to determine it. Is it based on the THC % of the weed?

The way doctors have to exist right now is horrific. I wouldn’t be a doctor if i knew the system worked this way. They should be just like nurses - part of the system like i was. It makes way more sense.

Doing this is cheaper than buying pre made? Id have to buy the bud first, which is close to $100, and then id have to buy the booze (what size??).

I have so many questions. Does this really end up cheaper than buying mass produced product?

Now if only I could get edibles covered by medical to help me with the chronic back pain ive had for nearly 10 years.

Because ive tried them, they do work, but theyre way too expensive for me to use daily.
