Oh joy, oh bliss, there are teeny-tiny wee ants on my kitchen counter.

Grateful to have a kitchen to call mine, don’t get me wrong - but dammit, ants bother me.

Off to search on how to deal with ant infestations without poisoning my dog.

You are good enough. Actually, you’re probably overqualified but let’s start the day off humble.

Well shit. Gonna talk to some of my former colleagues in emergency management tomorrow to see what their take is on this…

Greg Dickson @gregdickson

This is depressing & alarming…

One commentator states H5N1 pandemic would be 100 x worse than COVID-19

H5N1 is mutating, cross species (birds, cows, cats) AND humans.

I’ve been watching & reading research. tThe WHO has been tracking this since 2003 & estimates H5N1 has a 50% fatality rate.

15 REMINDERS FROM THE ELDERS:

1. Get up with the sun to pray. Pray alone.

2. Be tolerant of those who have lost their way. Ignorance, presumption, anger, jealousy, and greed come from a lost soul. Pray for them to find guidance.

3. Find yourself by your own means.

Mine is the patriarchy winning.

I've already faced & survived mental health issues & disability.

Jokes about "late marriage" etc. are emblematic of end-stage patriarchy. They see us taking control of our choices & our lives (or fighting to do so) & they're scared.

Let's be THEIR nightmare...

Mine is an illness that paralyzes my body but leaves my mind intact or the reverse (and worse), losing my mind in a relatively healthy body.

Or killer clowns under my bed.

Anytime I've ever been on a boat, I've noticed this thing where fellow boaters all wave at one another, as if to say "We're on boats! We're so cool! Hi, fellow boater!"

If only everyone were like that in places other than on a boat.

I would consider voting for this (if I were American and if I drank rum more than once a year).

Against a lovely green lawn, there is a Trump campaign sign that has been, uh, updated. It now reads "RUM. Make America Great Again" and has a picture of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow pasted above.

TFW you want to sleep, need to sleep, gotta fucking sleep but your mind is racing, legs are jumpy and stomach is empty and growling.

Brain, my frenemy, this is **not** the time to ponder the meaning of life, the universe and everything.

Hoping a snack might help. Wish me luck.

Let me see...I've done 19 of the 24 (unless you count the cats, pandas & Prius as 3, then I've done 21 of 26) & I'm clearly headed straight to hell.

The only thing I regret is not being able to do gingers 😉 - but I suppose there's still time before the rapture, whenever tf that will be.

Love this place. You folks reminded me of the benefits of taking control over who & what we allow into our lives.

Now if I could permanently eliminate the FOMO that leads me to let too much in, that'd be great. It comes in waves & I got hit with one yesterday, & now it's cleanup time again 🙄

Ah, that feeling when you accept a friend request on FB from someone you haven't seen in 30 years and barely remember, and they IMMEDIATELY message you. Each time I visit that damned site, I am reminded of why I don't visit it very often.

Just donned the eclipse glasses for the first time and saw the moon beginning its transit in front of the sun.

Wondering why folks in my area have been de-winterizing & even gardening - we're getting about 20cm of snow between now & Thursday night.
. #OttawaWeather means snow & freezing temps are possible until Mother's Day, & we can get overnight frost until June.

But I guess some folks fo

THIS.

As a musician, it is beyond frustrating to hear folks say that artists they don't like aren't talented.

Unless you can play, sing &/or write at their level (or close to it), in what world do you think you're qualified to say they aren't skilled?

Mary JUSTICE FOR BREONNA @MarysF_ingTired

I thinks it's fine to not like any artist or album. But to claim that they're not talented or skilled despite evidence simply because you don't vibe with them is another matter.

During the upcoming solar eclipse on April 8, please do not use any of your devices (phones, cameras) to view the event without a proper filter. Otherwise, your devices can get fried by the radiation, even if you’re not directly in the line of totality.

A reminder that April Fools’ Day shenanigans end at noon (in whatever time zone you’re in): those who prank after noon are then themselves called April Fools and turn into sparkly raisins 😜

Why do April Fools' Day jokes stop at 12pm? How the tradition started

What is April Fools' Day? It always lands on April 1 and this is why pranks stop at 12pm plus how the tradition originated.
