Weekend? Is that you? You snuck up on me! 😯 boop.

Have a great weekend, friends! It’s cold 🥶 and rainy 🌧️ here 🇨🇦 with a windchill below freezing coming tonight, but we have a long weekend at least (Victoria Day on Monday). 😄 -Skye 💕

Snoozing bunny awakes and boops the camera with her nose.

If you live in the US and are over 65, check with your doctor or your state health department. You should probably have an RSV shot, especially if you spend time around your grandkids, or little kids, generally. It's highly contagious, and after 65, our immune systems are not as strong as they need to be. If you have previously had COVID, you might need to have immune boosters for all your shots. Your doctor can test and tell you.

Day Two of the Giant Clean-up. Getting rid of 40 years worth of clothing. I have tee-shirts older than my friends' kids and grandkids. There's no room for this in my new life.

Now that I'm a Founding Member of the Happy Death Society, I urge you all to watch "The Happiness of the Katakuris" and decide on REAL change. The bodies piling up along the way are just - what's that term we like so much? - oh, yes, collateral damage

Swedish Death Cleaning is not about deaths? WHO KNEW?

Anybody want to pitch in with pick and shovel? No, there really AREN'T any bodies we want to bury. Besides, we're too old to smack 'em in the head with a shovel. We just need to turn the compost, clip and cut all the weedy stuff, and chop it up in one of those electrical thingies for the FIRST NEW compost of this year. (We turfed out the old stuff to put in the barrels, and the lemon and limes are SO HAPPY! )

Tomato plants looking good, pictures will follow! Buds on one plant already!

Now its Katy Tur: Every time I check in on @Msnbc they're talking sensationalizing hand-wringing over the MTG - Crockett ..etc exchange.
Move on. Don't overplay your hand . Do some real reporting ..

@jackhutton @Msnbc Just remember that Katy Tur was one of the "journamalists" Trump turned to to spread crap about him and make him look good. She gets ALL the side-eye.

My new favoritest House Member, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, kicked Shitkicker of the House MTG's butt last night:

But for some reason, our media is reporting it as AOC puts Large Marge in her place. Do Black women EVER get credit for ANYthing?

Keep your eye on Ms. Crockett. She knows the law, she's sharp, she's fast, and nothing escapes her. Throw her some coin if you're in TX, and even if you're not, WTH.

@GottaLaff It SHOULD be 50. Anybody who can attack an elderly person for no valid reason is a threat to the community for as long as they are able-bodied.

@GottaLaff Because that's how grossly stupid and contrarian they are. Smiling for their mugshots. They don't own the world yet, and we fight on!

@GottaLaff They change every day, so don't worry too much. Nobody's asking DEMOCRATS how they feel about the elections, NYT is still interviewing Trumpy diner dudes, and pollsters are polling Latine communities in English, when the majority of Latine communities are Spanish-speaking. I remain hopeful.

Countdown to Canada! Hugs!

@gfarrell This is EXACTLY why MANY white people vote against their own best interests. The fear that somewhere out there, a BLACK person will benefit from that vote is enough. Sheer spite, malice, & resentfulness has built up in about a third of the population into a toxic miasma that beclouds all our senses just when we need them most. These idiots will babble us all to destruction and death.

So now SpaceX, with no working spacesuit, and years behind on it's multi-billion dollar moon lander, is lobbying NASA to go to the Hubble Space Telescope.

"A successful private mission could improve Hubble's ability to point at celestial objects and, by boosting its orbit, extend its life by years... however, an accident could leave the multibillion-dollar telescope broken — or, even more tragically, tethered to the dead bodies of the astronauts sent to repair it."

@mastodonmigration IOW, Elon is worried about being sued by every government on the planet that has any investment in astronomy. We all know his likelihood of being able to move Hubble without catastrope is small. For the love of god, stop putting shit in this madman's hands!

I wanted to bake something today because the weather was cool, but I couldn't remember the recipe, so I had to look it up, but the recipe book was packed, so I had to move a bunch of boxes to get to it, but while they were out of the way I decided to put the kitchen rug down, then as long as I was at it I unpacked some dishes, then I unpacked my cookbooks then decided to put them on the tea cart, then put every else back nicely & now the kitchen looks better but I'm too tired to bake.

Next time you decide to do your howler monkey "Genocide Joe" routine, kindly incorporate THESE FACTS:

https://mastodon.social/@Nonilex@masto.ai/112453026316975028

We have a divided Congress. Republicans hold the House. Put more Democrats in the House and Senate if you want meaningful reform.

@thepoliticalcat@mastodon.social avatar

@tsyum @qkslvrwolf I don't even understand how you can say that. I can only conclude you must be a white male, bc women, LGBTQ folks, and those with melanin understand only too well, voting is not a game. If we don't vote, cishet white males will find a way to kill or hurt us. They prove that every day. We don't just vote for US. We vote for all those who can't. Immigrants, refugees, babies, kids, disabled folks, the poor, the injured, animals, the environment.
