Ahaha I have so many Michaelist punctuations in my inner monologue now. I feel his exasperated little sighs deep in my soul

Fascists cant be shamed. They arent committed to rules & institutions. When they overturn them there is no cognitive dissonance. A political strategy aimed at calling them out wont stop them, because the problem is not that they're inconsistent.

Wooooooo!!

It's interesting, because Canada spent $6.48 billion last year alone on the RCMP: rcmp.ca/en/corporate.... & yet I'm not being inundated with articles about the fact that the service is a financial gaping maw

I shared NMFM with a pal today and it was well-received! I have also been making frequent use of "they have yet to invent a non-annoying kind of person" lately. Your wisdom is so helpful!

It frustrates me every time I see someone describe possible things we haven’t been able to do yet as “impossible.” There’s lots of things that seem impossible until we do them.

It snowed here multiple times this week and it's taking me a lot of fortitude to Deal (I like winter but I am Over It)

Tarts and hand pies!

Can I come I wanna try questionable safety tourtiere

I hope it works out for you! Sewing thread and a small needle would hopefully minimize the holes, or you could make the basting cute and decorative and leave it. Good luck!

Sorry if this is unwelcome—this popped up in the embroidery feed—but you might be able to rescue them by basting them to your fabric with some quick running stitches around the edge. You can snip the stitches out when you're done if you don't embroider over them. I hope they work out for you!

It Could Happen Here did an episode about how it's 2 this week

unpopular and true.

Also, right wing groups are not infiltrated and surveilled and dismantled by the state in the same way as Left groups.

We're not "extra" dysfunctional on the Lefts. We're just much less resourced. This assessment puts me in the minority on my side of the political spectrum.

True, but they mostly don't include web-only content

This could apply to alot of things, but when people say "we want x" and politicians say "how about 50% of x, which won't really achieve anything, but it is half of what you asked!!!" it is not actually on those voters to clap

Now that I have more time off and a job where my birthday is at a lowkey time of year, I do! Sometimes I get a haircut or go swimming. Often I go strawberry picking with my friends. I walk around with iced coffee and have dinner with my parents. It's nice.

That looks delicious. I also liked I Made/Ate This social media 💚

Reddit has been a little sluggish, so I'm guessing AWS but dunno

GIVE EM HELL

I got my brother and his fiancée one of the botanicals sets for Christmas a couple years ago after admiring one in a colleague's office, and it was a hit. Something pretty for them to spend time together making!

Everything is 2FA hell now.

Time to write your MP again.

Are they going to make ALL Canadians register their government ID to use websites? How is this not curtailing Canadians' (of all ages) free speech?

Night sky testing continues.

I remember learning about Rachel Corrie when I was maybe 18 and just really struggling to make sense of the details of her death and the bigger violence it was part of. It is not violence that should make sense.

This is ENCHANTING! 😍🌠
