I never got the Disney cartoon “Motor Mania” until I started biking and walking most places.

The transformation that happens for the vast majority of drivers when they get behind the wheel of their powerful mobile multi-ton living room is almost supernatural (it’s not, but it feels that way).

Great event!

Legalize it!

Today I learned that neither a spray bottle nor a garden hose are very effective against a high up wasp nest but an aeropress filled with water and fitted with a flow control cap will knock it down from the soffits of your house no problem.
Thanks to my coffee maker, my bees are safe. #beekeeping

Having #MS is wild. On one side you've got people who are like OH YOU DON'T TAKE MEDS? I DID THAT AND NOW I REGRET IT and then on another it's OH YOU TAKE MEDS? I DID THAT AND NOW I REGRET IT and then on yet another it's IVERMECTIN CURES MS and they are equally certain theirs is the only true way

I hate loud motorcycle/muscle car season. They start revving their engines here at 0500.
I appreciate it's the reverse of birdsong (instead of trying to attract a mate they're advertising that they're a terrible partner who will disappoint you in every way) but maybe wear that on a t-shirt instead?

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

I was looking for a meme that was about being old and not understanding kids these days to send to my daughter to communicate my inability to keep up with current slang and I only found one I really didn't get so now I don't understand the meme I am using to express the fact that I don't understand

In Victoria, pedestrian save cyclist victims of vehicular violence are blamed for their own deaths. Even children. In rare occasions when drivers are prosecuted, it only results in about a $2k fine, which essentially means you can end someone's life for $2k as long as you do it with your car.

The whole promising electoral reform and then not doing it when it was in his best interests not to
Panama papers
There's more I could get into and tl;dr I think he's a skeeze.
That said, who tf cares if he's at a music festival? Looks like everyone he is with is of age, so why are we mad?

Trudeau did a lot of bad things. Fighting against the Human Rights Tribunal order to compensate indigenous children and families harmed by the actions of the government at the time

The oil industry is making billions from the Iran war—it should be taxed - CCPA The current windfall could be Canadian oil's final boom—so the proceeds must be reinvested into economic diversification and industrial planning

Last week, @policyalternatives.ca put together an urgent call for Canada to tax the profits that the oil and gas industry is making off the war in Iran. Yesterday, the best Carney could do was removing tax on average people, further defunding the state.

4,000 more oil and gas wells were just added to Alberta’s orphan well list | The Narwhal Even before the addition, the estimated total costs to properly seal and reclaim orphan oil and gas sites in Alberta was more than $1B

Tom Waits and Massive Attack announce collaboration The two artists (seldom releasing new material) have revealed themselves a pairing, with “Boots On the Ground" arriving April 16th.

Holy moly 🖤

Ok so we're injecting huge amounts of money to keep an old technology afloat rather than investing in new, better tech, but why stop at oil?
Let's also fund
-carrier pigeons
-chlorofluorocarbons in hairspray
-1970s Ford pintos
-dirigibles
-the miasma theory of disease
-leaded gasoline

wow so glad the Canadian government is funding gas rather than healthcare or mail delivery or proper transit infrastructure or green power initiatives.
what a great idea.
definitely smarter than investing in renewables.

wow this is a great painting of her

Also:
*consider putting the name of your beneficiary on your bank accounts and house.
It makes things so much easier for them
*make sure they know exactly what kind of life saving interventions you would like

Let me know what you think!

I KNOW, RIGHT?! omg. I'm keeping a daily log of things I did, symptoms I experienced, weather, # of steps, where I'm at in my cycle, RHR and HRV in hopes that one day I'll be able to figure out the magical way of not feeling like garbage. It was looking like Barre class was the solution but now idek

Idk I feel like maybe there's a third option? Something between brain in a jar and whatever tf this nonsense is.
But also, having had all the sensation just disappear from parts of my body, I can regretfully assure you that being human does not mean a full access pass to your own body.

Bodies are cool and all but we need a better alternative.

#MS is loud today
I've been going to barre & swimming because they make it quiet
maybe I did too much yesterday though I only swam 1 lap
or maybe it's normal day 1 post exercise feeling like you've been hit in the chest with a sledgehammer
wish I could find the instruction manual for my body

it's great because it combines my fear of heights with the nightmares I frequently have that are basically just Enigma of Amigara Fault with the serial numbers filed off.
and by great I mean I appreciate the work that went into it and respect all the developers and also NOPE NOPE NOPE

I can't read all that because paywall but it reads like powerful person wants to feel oppressed. Fashion makes her happy! She loves her sister! And her 5 best girlfriends (sorry gf #6)! She wants to protect the narwhal (just one specific narwhal?)
No one is saying you can't do those things though?

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
