Here is our daughter's black cat, Icarus. He's a very shy boy!

I'm sorry but if you're asking for healthcare money, why the hell would you care if it had to only be spent on healthcare?

@JustinTrudeau shouldn't give the Premiers a damn penny unless it has strings attached. #cdnpoli #onpoli https://twitter.com/globeandmail/status/1601293747542986753

My last 2 foster kittens. The tortico girl came in with a twin, but her sister passed. After her sister died, she was following me around nonstop & I could tell she neeeded a friend. So when this little orange boi came in alone later that week, I immediately volunteered to take him. WIthin a day, they were best friends.

My cousin and his wife adopted them and I’m so happy they stayed together! They said they are never more than 5 feet apart. “She is his everything.” #kittensofmastodon

Today's announcement about guns is another attempt to distract from the issues actually important to Albertans - healthcare, environment and education.

The people say - fix our healthcare, protect the environment, throw out that garbage curriculum and fund public education - the UCP just keeps shouting at us about Ottawa, GUNS, Trudeau, GUNS and on and on.

It's so blatantly obvious what they're doing here. And desperate. #ableg #cdnpoli

The Covid-19 Pandemic is not over. Because so many people have decided to ignore it, it will probably never be over. There are a few things you, everyone should know about Covid-19

1. More people have been hospitalized in 2022, and more people have died in 2022 with Covid-19 infections.

2. Catching Covid does not protect you from catching Covid again.

3. Covid is not a respiratory illness. Covid infects your sinuses, lungs, digestive tract, skin, brain, liver, blood.

4. A "mild" infection is one that does not focus on your lungs. That doesn't mean it's not bad, none of your internal organs have nerve endings that tell you they're hurting. What tells you they're hurting is when they start to fail, and you die.

5. A heart infection, which you will not notice, silently tears your heart apart. Heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and blood clots are likely in a heart infection.

6. Loss of taste/smell (one of the first things about Covid that was considered strange) means it's attacking your brain. Brain damage isn't reversible, the brain can re-route things, restore full or partial function. Whatever was in the part destroyed though? Lost forever

7. Blood infection. If your blood is infected with Covid, it will slowly lose the ability to carry oxygen. You will die gasping for breath, even if your lungs are in great shape.

Saying Covid is over is going to kill people, more each year as we move forward - PUT ON A GOOD FUCKING MASK AND STOP PRETENDING THIS IS OVER, IT'S NOT OVER, AND IT'S GETTING WORSE.

Just an aside, Covid-19 can also cause Erectile Dysfunction in men. Don't want a flaccid, floppy boner for the rest of your life? Don't want dates to laugh at your impotence and move on to someone else? Put on the damned mask.

OH, and then there's Long Covid - Covid infections that attack your brain especially, and leave you with lingering fogginess, confusion, never ending fatigue... Basically a Covid caused version of MS. You're disabled, or partially disabled, for the rest of your life.

Dear Elon et al,

Some of us use pronouns and don’t abide bullies, misogynists, racists, bigots, or spreaders of disinformation.

If that’s too woke for you, that’s a *you* problem.

If you think to yourself, I’m going to insult this physician now, that’s also a you problem.
