One day of smoke had [southern] Alberta like: โ€œso... this is end of days, right?โ€...โ€oh, ya. Itโ€™s 100% the apocalypse...โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ท๐Ÿ˜ต๐Ÿ˜ต
โ€ข
And Iโ€™ll admit to being one of them! ๐Ÿ˜ณ oh how we take our clean mountain/ prairie air for granted!! And the men & women fighting the fires!! ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿš’๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
โ€ข
And we had one day vs. being evacuated/ houses burning down!
โ€ข
โ€ข
Letโ€™s not blame the provinceโ€™s climate change platform (it was really dry in the North, they didnโ€™t get the same rain/ snow, yadda yadda) and instead find out how to help the evacuees?!?!

Hat Not Hate &
would love ***25,000 BLUE HATS*** by August 1, 2019, to raise awareness for bullying! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™
I jumped onto for some new/ free patterns and lo! 5 hats were born.
(How are they not on here?! Follow me there: Svobodalicious for the patterns I used!! www.ravelry.com )
has more info! Even Mr. T pities the fools who... like bullies? (Idk, kinda lost it there... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ)
Good luck you guys! Bullies sucked in the โ€˜80โ€™s & โ€˜90โ€™s, and that was BEFORE social media/ the internet!! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ

Have joined a book club ( ) bringing liberals & conservatives together to figure out this ๐ŸŒŽwide gap thatโ€™s ending the world as we know it. Because else can we do?!


The 1st dare (?) was for me to a) buy โ€˜s latest (13th!) book Addicted to Outrage, and b) make me read it. ๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜ช

Beck is a [FOX] right-wing alarmist, and even though he acknowledges his role in the current state of the USA, his writing is peppered with hyperbolic statements (e.g. โ€œhalf-born abortionโ€) and apparently no citations are required!! ๐Ÿคฏ*grumble mumble*

But whatever. Iโ€™m game! Iโ€™m up to the challenge!

Iโ€™m tired of avoiding political talk with friends & family because of the [quietly] simmering outrage that everyoneโ€™s feeling. And the whole ๐ŸŒŽ sucks right now! (Even ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ! I know!!) So I guess Iโ€™m putting my ๐Ÿ’ต where my ๐Ÿ‘„ is.

has thrown down the gauntlet!! *shouts*
Letโ€™s get ready to MUMBLE!!!! ... (No?) ๐Ÿค“

The โ€œI Canโ€™t Believe You Think Thatโ€ book club is meeting on May 25, from 10-12 at Shelf Life Books (1302 4th St. S.W., ).

I will be the one holding my comfort body-pillow... ๐Ÿ˜ Hope to see you there!!

If youโ€™re not local, maybe join (or start?) a book club of your own!! Letโ€™s change the gd ๐ŸŒŽ!!

Thank god weโ€™re hosting Easter this year. Houseguests keep you honest, and your house clean...er.

Happy Easter weekend!
