@mattearoach @AlexanderQuon I have somehow had the long form come to me 3x over the years. I loved filling it out.

Hoping my brother and I get the long form census at our apartment this year so we can baffle Statistics Canada with our never-before-seen combination of responses

@DuaneBratt @acoyne It’s absolutely horrifying, and what I’ve heard so far from Elections AB is an appalling dereliction.

I cant emphasize enough how really bad and dangerous this data breach of electors is.

@feederofcats I know he’ll probably need that lower pointy removed to help with eating etc. But omg it’s the cutest toof ever to have toofed.

Dweeb is still healing but firmly believes he should be able to jump off of high surfaces, wrestle other cats, and zoom full speed into things with his very expensive titanium jaw if he so pleases

@feederofcats He’s gonna be a Classic Floofy Orange Menace Boi isn’t he??

nothing scarier in this world than a kitten whose powers were temporarily thwarted and is now coming back stronger than ever

@feederofcats This is why they come to you, I swear. 💜💙

He had a CT first that revealed how bad everything is in there and they called and asked if I still wanted to proceed, and I said yes. He's a purring, bouncing baby in good spirits. I want to see what more can be done for him and how much he can heal (kittens are magic)

Dweebert made it through surgery and is recovering in the hospital overnight. I'm very tired so will give details later but basically, his injuries are worse than we thought. They could only address part of it today, he might need more surgery and a specialer specialist 🫠

@wonkydonkeys @RVAwonk I agree; that looks very much like hands reflected (and distorted) with dark room, reflected glass, and longer exposure which could also explain the “misty” appearance or fuzzy appearance - and that makes the hands less obvious. But you can see fingers!

@RVAwonk I think it's a reflection of your hands. Illuminates by your screen and reflecting off the skylight. You would have dismissed it 2 years ago as you would recall the reflection. It's now been too long to remember so your eye is seeing things that aren't there

OK, I need you guys to help me with something. Please tell me what you see in the righthand side of these two pictures. I don’t know for sure what I’m seeing there, but I know what I think I’m seeing and I want to know if other people see the same thing. Spoiler alert for the next tweet, where I’ll give some context, but don’t read that until after you’ve made your own assessment of what you’re seeing because I don’t want to taint your judgment.

@StandingHannah The snort I just snorted! She’s not wrong, and I hope her teacher is a flexible thinker.

I did step in and say “this might be a time for an appropriate white lie” but she informed me it’s a self-reflection not a mum-reflection question.

The girl’s teacher is going to experience how #autism collides with an assignment’s self reflection questions. Question: “did your research change how you feel about design” Answer: “no. I didn’t have any feelings about design and I still don’t”.

@BecomingKelsey Wow congrats to her!!

My niece just qualified for Canadian Nationals with a time of 7.39 seconds in the 60 meter dash. Her time, a personal best, sets a new University of Saskatchewan Huskies record and places her #1 in USPORTS ranking. Join me in congratulating Kailee. I'm a proud auntie! 🥰

@hopeformaybe @MizShannonS @itsstillbea Staff at a supplement place should be able to help with easier to digest options too. This is getting more common with our elders. Also, if she likes yogurt you can get higher protein ones. We use this powder. LMK I can ask bro about ingredients to avoid/hard to digest.

@MizShannonS @itsstillbea Check with her doctor for a recommendation and/or to make sure she’s getting the right amount. A lot of the ones marketed for exercise etc can have other things in them. Cottage cheese also has a ton of protein and can be sweetened for taste. Been here, hang in there!

Okay gang, Mom took a bad fall yesterday & bit right through her tongue. It’s all stitched up but her jaw & nose are probably broken as well (long story) & I’m having trouble getting sustenance into her. She’s not good with textures & super picky in general. I’m also in a flare.

@jana_pruden Thirty plus victims, only one charge brought, and Semenchuck gets a very soft slap on the wrist. Appalling.

More than a dozen victims of former Regina police sergeant Robert Semenchuck streamed out of the city’s courthouse on Friday morning, some in tears, others enraged and others resigned to a system they never expected to protect them. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@OgLakyn @tesitac Totally seconding Dawn. I’ve used it for years on our farm clothes, and it might need multiple applications but just about every oil/grease stain does come out (air dry to confirm). I’ve even been able to get older, dryer heat set oil stains out with Dawn too.

@tesitac I treat stains before I wash, which depends on what the stain is. Oil stains usually come out with Dawn dish soap. Sometimes I’ll use Grandma’s Secret if it’s super stubborn.

I’m sick of the propaganda! All silk is washable! Just wash* it! *We should be washing ALL our clothes on cold with gentle cleaners and drying on low heat if not air drying in order to preserve the fibers 🙃 Harsh heat and too much detergent/softeners is ruining your clothes!

@fletc117 @feederofcats Betrayal! Betrayal from müthėr! (At least in that first sad face)

The faces I get when I tell the girls I must leave and go to the rescue 🥹😍

@CraigBaird @tim4hire They say history doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes…

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

@feederofcats That big ol’ nose lick in the second pic gives it away. 😂 we love you Mr. P 💜💙

Mr. Perfect is currently investigating an unsettling Temptations incident here at the rescue. Read the full press release on our Instagram: instagram.com/p/DTTmILIkqjL/…

@feederofcats @CatWoodshed I have one of the nervous types; he’d be lost without his two much more extroverted brothers. But he’s very sweet, just very shy and skittish.

@CatWoodshed she's just a nervous kind of cat! She has been this way since we got her at 8 weeks old. She still runs around and plays, purrs, enjoys humans and has a good time. Some cats are just naturally more skittish than others :)

me: hey Toady can we take one picture for your adoption profile where you look normal and not like your eyes are harboring the soul of a traumatized haunted Victorian child? Toadette: hmmm ok let me try

@Sarahattack1 @feederofcats Also, hoo boy we have huge stray dog problems in Canada, it all depends on where you live.

@feederofcats I’m just curious because I’m in Canada and we don’t really have a stray dog problem here thanks to the incredible work of the SPCA. Why does it seem that so many stray cats are scraping with stray dogs? Are there no organizations where you are to control the stray dog population?

thought I was going to get some sleep last night but I got word of a senior stray who was attacked by dogs and then hunkered down in a wet box she found unfortunately telling me an old cat is Damp and Sad is the #1 way to get me to drop everything and disobey traffic laws

I need assistance getting my hands on copies of The Indian Chipmunks albums. They were released by an Oklahoma company, Indian Sounds, that was based in Moore and Lawton. I know some of you gotta know. Help an Auntie out.

@DGlaucomflecken @jpmartinezr_ I had NO idea, I’ll see if I can get the iPad to reverse ebooks on the different apps - mom could read a few things!!

@jpmartinezr_ AMD tanks contrast sensitivity, so higher contrast (white text on black) is easier to see

Make the print a little bigger and you can corner the macular degeneration market

@ScarlettMerlot @broadwaybabyto There's actually a list of vaccinations in Canada's immigration materials, so.

@broadwaybabyto And then you wonder why you’re mocked. You are an idiot. Your country allowed millions of unvaccinated third world trash in. But you are fixated on the US. You’re an idiot.

When RFK Jr ends all vaccination recommendations and requirements for children, guess what happens? Insurance companies can stop paying. Millions of parents won’t be able to choose the vaccines because they won’t be able to pay for them. He knows this. It’s social murder.

@ChefReactions This was so good! Looks like Grandma Reactions had a Major Adventure and enjoyed it thoroughly. You & Mrs. R are doing a fantastic job (I look after an elder of the same age, go all of us)!
