it's 2022 time be more anti-racist, as in the active tense..
Actions not just empty words or sitting passively..
Loblaws going on Twitter to reply to Tweets about their price gouging is totally gas lighting.
What is worse is today is the last day of their NoName Price Lock to prevent inflation from harming shoppers.
So like the timing on their decision to do replies certainly is 🤑
Everyone making fun of Wonka Experience if y'all are from the East Coast of Canada
And grew up going to Rainbow Valley instead of real places like Disney, Six Flags, Canada's Wonderland or etc
We legit got excited about a papier maché Witches Cave & an Owl w/ a walkie talkie
I'm pretty fucking gutted...
Test came back that he has leukemia.
I known IWK is beyond the best possible place to be for care but it's certainly not fair than a recently turned 7 year old has cancer.
Today was not an easy day
But was easier due to being surrounded by great people, community, family & chosen family
Grief is just the price you pay for love
So do not be scared to tell those who you love, that you love them
Not much to be said, a few days ago my Mom had a stroke, caused by spread of lung cancer to her brain
Has lost ability to speak, eat & swallow
There's not many days left & sadly I will never hear her voice again
She would only open her eyes/move when the dogs were there

Appreciate all comments, messages etc but do not have much capacity to reply, which isn't meant to be interpreted as me not caring for compassion that everyone is sharing

Don't forget their ever growing greed with their Private Healthcare companies and direct demise of overall population health while reducing access to healthy foods or even basic food.
Gotta burn the candle at both ends but still complain about not making enough profits..
I dunno what really to type between tears this morning
But really celebrate the strong women we are lucky to have in our lives.
Happy International Women's Day to everyone, but a little special extra bit of love to my Mom 👩👦
So let's be honest here
#PEI
Premier is going door to door, using this language freely to stoke flames under guise of fear mongering to get a few votes.
While stats are Transgender ppl are twice as likely to die as cisgender ppl.

And yes this is me reading parts of 'I'll Love You Forever' by Robert Munch
At the graveyard, at my Mom's casket at her funeral today
Have compassion for those who did so much for you & do not be scared to show that love that they always showed to you
Going to bed at 8:20pm
Cause waking up at 3am is so much fun....
Well here goes another start of the season.
Hope everyone is safe out on the waters & the catch is decent for all
Value Village you really need to get bent.
Empty former flower/plant/tree containers...
2x For $29.99 because it has a sticker on it from when it had plants/trees 🤯🤡

You are voting to throw Islanders out of their homes, into poverty, into being underhoused & into youth leaving here
It's time to take that belt back after being told to tighten it to often
PEI landlords are applying for & receiving rent increases of up to 35%, according to the Guardian this weekend.
The King govt didn’t enact
#PEI
’s new Residential Tenancy Act before the election was called. Without it, there’s no limit on size of rent increases IRAC can approve.
This person explains exactly what goes on in my head while shopping.
Specifically this Chips Are To Fucking Expensive song..
Will post more of his Loblaws content below.
So sorta heavy post
Was asked to pick up some paperwork from Memorial business that is doing parents gravestones
Not overly happy gig, go get things
Get into car, open envelope to this (back of stone)
From water painting that I commissioned
I laugh cried so much in the car
Why I am awake at 6am, totally unsure
But it might be due to someone hogging the bed, but he did so good yesterday I cannot even be upset about it at all..
Don't really have the words today, but kept busy went through motions & planted a lot of flowers (sunflowers & wildflowers)
Cooked lobsters & played catch up on the weeks worth of errands for the 1 day off
But still need 4 more hours to get more things done but 4am sail out
Yesterday very much the same, but less movement, interaction
Again the only time all day she opened her eyes was when the dogs were there
Malmo was sorta jealous that Ripley was cuddled up close to his Grammie
But again animals giving comfort & care in the final act
Again the thrifting karma
Went to Restore just to waste a few minutes yesterday
They had this basically new maroon circle lounger chair
Retail around $1,600
Was priced very very cheap for a most likely unused piece of furniture
Paid for it instantly and picked it up today..
Reminders for hurricane
#Lee
prep
Charge phones, battery banks, additional stand alone entertainment devices (for distractions)
Collect important documents, put in water proof container. Keep close if need to exit quickly
Tea candles, water, dry food goods

It should not take 45 minutes to drive up North River Rd from Brighton to the Walmart lights
This is beyond ridiculous for a city of this size
Key contribution to issue not enough bus routes, second lights timing needs to alter during peak 'Commuter Traffic Times'
Seriously
Went to visit Mom this evening
She would have hated the week delay on Setting Day for the North Side
But certainly would have made sure each of her fisher folk's accounts were ready for that day 1 of landing & if needed help them navigate the EI issues with the delay

I'm mostly just beyond distraught that leadership can allow such huge gaps in Healthcare for most vulnerable.
Children were least protected during COVID, now most adults just act like it's over
When they don't even get a fighting chance to not have shorten lives due to inaction
Okay this is gonna be sad 😔
On St Patrick's Day we would always celebrate Mom being cancer free after her breast cancer (09) it was to mark a new beginning, but in 2018 the found tumors in her lungs 🫁
We still celebrated, when we could between chemo & radiation treatments
A walk 📸 from St. Pat's Day in the park.
Reminder to vote for the individuals who will best improve your community, protect those who are being left behind & be the ones who stand up to the status quo.
If Malmö could vote he would vote for Karla.
Well November you were a difficult month...
1st Bday for moi with Mom gone
Broke up at the start of the month
Usual change in seasons and the utter darkness which makes this time of year not great
Can it just be spring already or something
Tomorrow at noon I have surgery. It's not life saving but certainly is something that very much keeps myself alive
It's my view that being able to access this surgery is due to improved life expectancy cause it's🫀
I cannot see any difference in folks needing access to other 🏥
These slap, might have been cause I had it at 3 with a microwaved burger but having another now.
Sobeys has the normal cans & the mini cans on Allen St
Guess it's now rural Fire Departments jobs to clear trees off of powerlines since ME will only send out their trucks 'if there is damage to poles'

Sunflowers will go to my Mom's headstone.

My Mom's 65th Birthday Celebration today.
She's been fighting cancer since 2009... Last few years have been rough on her & all of us in the family.
So you find the joy in the small moments

So again Malmö refused to leave Mom after the wake service was done
It's hard to try to get him to understand the loss of her
He was so well behaved @ evening service, sat in corner not bothered by folks passing by
Thought both sessions would be much plus heat for him

The rule 'If I Fits, I Sits...'

While they also use the rule

I got a Dr appointment at 3pm so it's gonna have to happen
Private Health Care Is Not Sexy...
But

certainly is the best way to kick off summer
The Guild is showing 'Simply Sondheim' and is well worth thr evening of entertainment
Today there was a good few events around town Expo at Delta & Dragshow at Pony Boat.
Know what both have in common?
Ppl just being people in clothes that make themselves & others happy.
Nothing else to it, if it bothers you that anyone's doing either
Just work on yourself...
The way that Malmö prances with his nose well in the air. Knowing a scent he loves is in the air. .
After the few lobsters came out of the cooker & got unshelled.

Okay seeing way more Twitter folk on PEI totally outraged by DK on his COVID commentary behind closed doors.
Like accounts I have never seen a single Tweet from before. Keep up the discussions of discontent cause it's rippling and creating a wave.
When in Montague the 50% off dented or not perfrct labels of Maritime Madness hot sauces is a needed stop
Of course after stopping into the Nearly New Thrift store
And a coffee from Lucky Bean after thrifting & hot saucing
So find ppl, who show up for you even in hard times, celebrate those who have made you who you are
Be authentic, caring, empathic & unafraid to tell everyone who you Love that you Love them
You never know when those words might carry them through dark times or be what is need
Sadly it's not sunflowers but it will a first step for today,
After the wild flowers that were picked are not looking good I will go get some sunflowers for the room
But honestly...
Mostly joking cause I never went to a single of those real places...

Oh look it's the usual suspects, closing the loop on their employees to force them to live in properties they own after importing them from another part of the world.
So they can exploit their vulnerability of being deported if they speak out about any work violations..
