You guys -- I put a post about homelessness on my FB, and this is how my aunt replied. She's so lovely, I could cry. ❤️❤️❤️

A text message telling a story about a homeless woman and expressing strong support and love for homeless people and those struggling with addiction.

If I could only be even half as relaxed as this woman is ...

A scruffy beige terrier lies on her back on a brown couch, with several bright cushions under her head and all of her teats catching the breeze.

My husband and I both have massive crushes on her. She's just so damn *womanly,* in a way that reminds me of Old Hollywood.

The actor Hannah Waddingham stands in front of a set of outdoor stone steps with one hand on her hip, with a crowd gathered in the background, ostensibly for some event. Hannah is a tall, middle-aged woman with an ash-blonde updo and a breathtakingly gorgeous figure. In addition to a broad and lovely smile, she is wearing a one-shouldered sleeveless gown of pale lilac, with beading and sheer overlay. It makes her look like a goddess of spring. I would wear that woman like a ski mask.

A shoutout to all my fellow corporate weirdos.

A meme saying, "you should be able to call in weird for work. Like no I'm not coming in, you don't want me there when I'm goofing."

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· Dec 8

Yeah, it's really bad. They've evacuated surrounding buildings, and there are fire teams coming from all over.

Flames and smoke pour into the sky from a small white building in the left foreground. There is snow on the ground.

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· Dec 8

Shit. The fisheries in Wallace is ablaze.

A screenshot of a snowy scene. A power pole is in the foreground, and next to the road is a large road vehicle. There is a white building in the background behind the truck, and behind THAT, smoke and flames roll up toward the sky.

I'm so sorry, Mandy. Eff cancer straight to hell. Here are some puppy pictures to hopefully bring a bit of brightness to a shitty day.

A small golden retriever puppy sleeps snuggled up between the legs of a boy with jeans and a tan hoodie. Several other similar puppies are laying around them, also snoozing.

A small golden retriever puppy with an orange collar is being held by a teenage boy with light brown hair and a turquoise-blue hoodie. The puppy is tilting its face up and gently nibbling on the boy's nose, while the boy smiles.

My only must haves were a pretty dress, a pretty venue, and a *really* good photographer. I got the dress on eBay, we did the whole thing in Central Park, and we did it on a Tuesday, so the photographer was happy to squeeze in an inexpensive 2-hour shoot. Everything else was cheap and cheerful.

A black and white photo of a woman and man standing in front of a Nutz4Nutz vendor in Central Park. The woman has long hair, is wearing a wedding dress, and is leaning toward the man, resting her head on his shoulder as she laughs helplessly. The man is wearing a suit, is turned toward the woman, and is also laughing. Photo credit, Anthony Vazquez, NYC.

Is ... is he OK? Or was this just a wild angle?

A man sits on a blue bench with his back to us. He's wearing a gray tshirt shirt. He is bald, and his head is both improbably shaped and appears to have the texture of cellulite.

"Look at your reflection in the mirror. You're a creature of the night, Michael, just like out of a comic book!"

Cory Haim and Jason Patric from the movie The Lost Boys look off concerned into the distance. Over Corey 's head it says "Canada". Under Jason, it says, "The U.S. turning completely feral."

It implies that Canada is the younger brother watching helplessly as the older brother gets transformed into a vampire.

The eldest's birthday present from us arrived today, and holy shit is it *ever* cool.

A teenage boy wearing a blue tshirt and gray gym pants sits on a couch, smiling at the camera. On his left forearm, he is wearing a replica "Pip Boy" from the game Fallout.

Timeline cleanse, pooch edition:

Two scruffy beige dogs -- one large, one medium sized -- sit side by side on an outdoor wooden step, looking directly at the camera with happy expressions.

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· Aug 21

Here's the photo to haunt you.

An absurdly swollen foot with painted pink toenails rests on gray tile.

Add Matthew Sweet's "Girlfriend" and R.E.M's "Out of Time" to this image, and you had the regular rotation in my 1990 Geo Storm's cassette deck. 1991 was *ridiculous* for music.

A stack of music cassettes resting on a wooden desk. From top to bottom we have Metallica's eponymous album, then Pearl Jam's "Ten", then "Use Your Illusion" (both 1 and 2) by Guns n Rose's. From there, Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden's "Badmotorfinger", and last but not least, Nirvana's "Nevermind"

He *gleefully* fucked over massive swaths of people, a great many of whom will now die because of his actions. He deserves no sympathy whatsoever.

A tweet from Elon Musk saying, "We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could have gone to some great parties. Did that instead."

My local plant nursery had their garden walk today and it was just adorable.

Two little decorative signs on a post in a field point to a "Woodland Walk" and a "Fairy Walk"

Two tiny Adirondack chairs -- one bright blue, one white -- sit in a small hollowed-out, moss-covered log in a forest. Next to the log are little two-dimensional pretend houses made of stiff board and painted bright, cheerful colours. One is blue and one is red. In the foreground are a bunch of newly sprouted, green, slightly cup-shaped plants.

Halifax is built on a steep-ass hill, and they have these monstrosities. (We also used to have rickshaws, pulled by local college athletes mostly.)

A blue and green, enormous amphibious vehicle brings tourists around an old , but lovely city. You can see a beautiful cathedral in the background as well as other nice buildings. It's a sunny day, and there are a few other cars on the road, the drivers all of whom are hating the Harbour Hopper with every fiber of their being.

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· May 9

Yeah, this area gets some gorgeous skies. 🩷

The sun sets beautifully behind an old, broken down barn in a field.

The look your cousins give you at Thanksgiving dinner when you're all laughing at the family dipshit.

A man in a black suit and tie sits on a guest chair in the Oval Office, looking sidelong at the camera with a slight smirk.

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· May 1

@ass.golf knew what was up.

A comic strip (Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques) depicts a small android presenting his human roommate's mom with a photo of "goatse" (an infamous photo of a man stretching his own rectum to improbable proportions).
Much to everyone's horror, the mom recognizes the man as "Kirk," saying she'd recognize that gape anywhere.

Your regular reminder that even reliably conservative, rural regions have large pockets of liberal and progressive voters ... and are worth fighting for.

A screen shot from early election reporting. With 102/222 polls reporting, the Conservative, Stephen Ellis has 48.3% of the vote. But the Liberal candidate, Alana Hirtle, is close behind with 45% of the vote.

So Tesla's "self-driving" cars need a remote operator to make sure things don't go badly. Feels like this has already been done, guys.

A kids ride on pink Chevy tahoe that a toddler can drive, but that has a parental remote control for safety

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· Apr 4

Ha! There it is.

$A poll indicating that 42% of PPC voters surveyed think Canada should join the U.S. 16% of Conservatives feel that way, compared to a miniscule fraction of the other parties.$

Audrey put out a *lovely* new leaf today. 🩷

The image shows a big Monstera plant sitting next to a window. There is a new, light green leaf about the size of a dinner plate showing, with plenty of the Monstera's famous "Swiss cheese" holes visible.

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· Mar 28

If any Canadians needed a good giggle today, here you go.

We have a screenshot of Paul Pollievre behind a sign saying, "Stop the crime" and "Stoppons les crimes"

The OG poster says, "STOPPONS!?!?" (That's not a French word)

A commenter replies, "Stoppons Tom Connors"

Maybe someday ...

She's Princess. She came with the name, so we decided not to change it. Poor little girl was a street dog and pregnant with ten pups when they brought her in. She fostered until the pups weaned and were all adopted out, including her runt, Potato. (He has macrophagia and has to eat upright.)

A small black and white terrier mix puppy with scruffy ears that stick out sits upright in a little wooden high chair with a food dish inset into the tray. The chair is called a Bailey chair, evidently.

A scruffy, sandy-colored terrier and beagle mix dog of medium sized lays on her side. She looks up at the camera. Next to her, 8 out of her 10 newborn pups are visible as they nurse from her.

She looks fucking tired, yo.

Timeline cleanse, coworker edition.

A medium-sized scruffy, sandy-coloured dog sits at the feet of a woman in gray sweatpants and a gray hoodie, with her face pressed between the woman's knees while looking beseechingly up at the camera. Only the woman's knees and left hand are visible as she pets the dog's head. The dog is a very good girl.

Krista Elliott@kristaelliott· Feb 23

Took this last time I was there. I've been 5 times now, and am really hoping to bring the family someday. Fingers crossed.
