Putting my Public Safety hat back on. We have another multi-day heatwave happening, and after a video I saw yesterday, this is a LOUD reminder that PETS NEED PROTECTION in this weather.

A pet safety graphic. The factors include:
Give shade and water.
NO CARS. Not even with the window cracked.
No Asphalt. If it would burn your hand, it will burn your critter’s delicate paw pads.
Limit Exercise. Don’t let playful animals over-exert themselves in the heat.
And most important, symptoms of heat stroke.
Excessive panting.
Discoloured gums.
Mobility problems. Confusion and unconsciousness.

The emergency phone # for pets left in a vehicle
1-833-9ANIMAL this is for anywhere in
Ontario.

I saw this, and… yeah.

Joe Vargas screen shot in which Joe observes the following:
Taco Bell has removed lettuce, guacamole, pico de gallo, and onion from several locations to prevent spreading the diarrhea parasite Cyclospora.
Taco Bell is leading the way on preventing diarrhea.
Taco. Bell.

Okay. What D&D class do I give off?

One layer of plaster more! One layer more to dry! One more day until it’s finished! Then it will get painted! *Record scratch* No. It doesn’t need paint. I have no place to put all the things that would have to be moved.

A white-haired man stands on a ladder and applies a layer of plaster mud to the ceiling. There are two long strips on the ceiling that are being fixed up after an unfortunate leak this past winter.

Oops. Gonna have to fix that.

Official statement on Facebook from Canada’s Prime Minister on the death of Lindsey Graham.

Mark Carney:
Senator Lindsey Graham has devoted *her* life to serving the people of South Carolina and the American people.
Throughout his career, he has tirelessly defended democracy and freedom, most recently that of Ukraine and its people, in particular.
I extend my deepest condolences to Senator Graham's family and friends, and all those who served with him.

The whoops here is calling Lindsey “her”. He gets the gender correct in the rest of the statement.

Mac n Cheese n Docs are on a minor hiatus as I do not have any Mac n Cheese in the zone. But KFC did not effect up my order this time. It’s hot, and they brought the drink! Yay! And driver was tipped well.

Halifax police have found and charged this guy.

We are relieved to see that an arrest has been made with regards to the Islamophobic threats made in Halifax recently, inside a Costco store.
Randall Byron Publicover has been charged under various sections of the Criminal Code, including public incitement of hate and possession of a weapon.
We thank Halifax Police for their dedication and hard work on this file to apprehending the suspect.
This cannot be the new normal. We call on all leaders to help construct a new Islamophobia national strategy.

Smoooooth ceiling!

Picture of a ceiling with drywall patching down the seams of the ceiling panels. Now it’s time to dry.

Another view of the ceiling, also without the plaster “boob” that was there for seven months.

I hope to have this back to being a proper adult dining room again. It’s been seven months.

The corner of a standard apartment unit, with beige carpet and eggshell white walls. A large green tarp is draped from the top of a china cabinet and over a round table. There’s a blue tarp still in its packaging from the store, in case another tarp is needed. There’s a bulge in the ceiling from where water dripped through during a flash thaw on the roof this past winter.

I swear, something in the water is making people more stupid. Correcting someone on who TF is on city council. Because this Election Year, this idiot will be scouring his ballot to find Kevinmckinley and Bruce. 😐

A person “helping” another poster on FB by presenting his ChatGPT results for who voted on a hot-button issue.
However, as this reply states, two of the people listed are not on city council. The one is clearly not a proper name.

Buddy doubles down and insists that the CB person who knows what the fuck she’s talking about “Google which city councillors voted in favour of the Bonnerworth Pickleball Courts.”

To which our person who knows what the fuck she’s talking about presents a screenshot of the actual list of city council members, from an actual city site.

Sorry about the swearing. But, damn people are stupid.

Tonight’s meal: Roast beef with cheese and roasted red pepper sauce, macaroni salad. Dessert will be strawberries. And that expanse of green upholstery is my couch. Cleared off and vacuumed.

Macaroni salad and two whole wheat tortillas with roast beef, served on a cheery yellow and white plate with a citrus pattern.
This is sitting on green sofa cushions.

Someone had a whoopsie. While there has been some vandalism downtown, this is more likely someone failing to drive properly.

The sign at the opening of a parking lot that lists the businesses within the complex, lies on its side, with the larger sign on top for the Charlotte Mews completely busted.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 6

Downtown! Getting some stuff done. In the meantime, enjoy this rose at my insurance company (Darling Insurance) and this iced coffee at Dreams.

A pink rose with more ready to bloom behind it. Bright green, healthy leaves on the bush.

It’s been five years since I found this little squirrel on the ground during a walk. With no way to get her back into her mother’s shoddy nest, she was kept warm and safe and taken to a proper rescue the next day. I called her Bebe.

A very, very young squirrel on an inside out sock. She is so young that she hasn’t got any fur and her eyes have not opened. Based on where she was found, she had fallen out of the nest, with no way to return her that didn’t involve a fire department ladder truck or an arborist.

The very very young baby squirrel, secured in a box, resting on an inside out sock. Picture taken as we were taking her to a licensed, accredited wildlife rescue. She’d spent the night safe in the box, on the sock, and with a heating pad under the box to keep her warm.

Emergency Chipmunk!

A chipmunk stuffing another peanut into her already full cheeks. She is close enough that her tiny claws are visible on her feet.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 5

Done. With my apartment still a tad too humid, it was Essentials Only (socks, undies, PJs) so nothing had to be hung up to finish drying. Washed, dried, folded, put away.

A simply drawn character hugging a laundry basket, with the caption “Guess I’ll do the fucking laundry.” Sums it all up.

Hi, folks. Can we please show this guy the airlock? Breathtaking racism and open antisemitism aren’t the flex he thinks they are.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 4

This didn’t need to happen. Yet it keeps happening. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of this, please don’t take it as “just a joke” or “they would never.”

If you're worried someone you know may be experiencing intimate partner violence, here are some warning signs, according to the Canadian Red Cross:
• Victim says their feelings and wishes are ignored by their partner.
• They are being name-called or criticized.
• They are being controlled financially, emotionally, or physically.
• They are being kept away from friends by their partner.
• Partner threatens to hurt victim or show anger if they don't get what they want.
• Partner stalks victim.
• Victim has expressed they've been abused before, verbally, emotionally, physically or sexually.

CZANC Update: Had an errand downtown. Or “the blasted hellscape” if you will because that was our temperature map to the right. Seriously, if you do not need to be out, be somewhere cool. If you have to be out, take breaks and hydrate because your life does depend on it.

A smol crone waiting for a bus, dressed in a “Modesty Minimum” blue floral patterned sundress and blue large-brimmed hat. Backpack has an ice pack in it for the insulin pens, but also to keep her back/core cooler. It is too hot, and she longs for more autumnal weather when she can wear some fabulous knitwear.

A temperature map of southern Ontario and the states that border the Great Lakes, showing extreme temperatures in the 30s and 40s, Celsius. It looks like the “Fire” version of Hell. Cooler in the lakes.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 1

I can’t. Seriously.

Notice from the locally hosted concert series that tonight’s event is Cancelled. Weather is not cooperating. Concert not happening. Big thumbs down.

After a string of “What about the fireworks?!” posts, we have this genius asking “where are people seeing that everything is cancelled?

My good idiot, you are asking that ON THE POST THAT SAYS IT’S ALL CANCELLED. Breathtaking stupidity.

If you missed last night’s storm, here’s today’s! Rolled in just in time to ruin dinner for anyone dining outside. Happy Canada Day from the Crone Zone Action News Couch and the AccuView Weather Window!

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 1

Tonight’s No Power No People dinner is: Three rolls of roast beef with red pepper sauce, cheese, and some macaroni salad. Served with a side of V8 and a bowl of smol grapes.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 1

Yeah. This is almost the same as 2004. It’s already leaking in a bit through the windows that are ajar because of the AC exhaust. I’ve got something to soak it up.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 1

Crone Zone Action News Couch with exclusive storm footage. And it’s just gotten worse from here. The rain is fire-hosing down and the lightening is more frequent, almost like a strobe light. It’s giving Storm and Flood of 2004.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 1

We have heat lightning tonight, because why not? I added the music because all you can hear in this apartment are fans and AC units.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jul 1

Our humid tomorrow is 47C or 116F. I can’t stress how not normal that is here, and how important it’s going to be for people to look out for each other. And for the love of Benji, leave your dogs home. The pavement is going to be brutal and they can overheat so easily.

A graphic for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

The Orange Alert Weather Notification, complete with handy tips to keep yourself and others safe.

The Orange Warning for Heat, from Tuesday (tomorrow) for the rest of the week, up to and possibly including Saturday. Temperatures are expected to hit 31-36 degrees Celsius, with a much higher humidity level. Night temperatures will not get below 21 and will not provide relief. Fun.

Orange Warning - Heat
Take action to protect yourself and others - extreme heat can affect everyone's health.
Determine if you or others around you are at greater risk of heat illness. Check on older adults, those living alone and other at-risk people in-person or on the phone multiple times a day.
Watch for the early signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Signs may include headache, nausea, dizziness, thirst, dark urine and intense fatigue. Stop your activity and drink water.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency! Call 9-1-1 or your emergency health provider if you, or someone around you, is showing signs of heat stroke which can include red and hot skin, dizziness, nausea, confusion and change in consciousness. While you wait for medical attention, try to cool the person by moving them to a cool place, removing extra clothing, applying cold water or ice packs around the body.
Drink water often and before you feel thirsty to replace fluids.
Close blinds, or shades and open windows if outside is cooler than inside.

Turn on air conditioning, use a fan, or move to a cooler area of your living space. If your living space is hot, move to a cool public space such as a cooling centre, community centre, library or shaded park.
Follow the advice of your region's public health authority.
Plan and schedule outdoor activities during the coolest parts of the day.
Limit direct exposure to the sun and heat. Wear lightweight, light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat.
Never leave people, especially children, or pets inside a parked vehicle. Check the vehicle before locking to make sure no one is left behind.

Julie Morris of the Auntifa Morrises@juliemoonthego· Jun 30

Okay. We’re in hell now. The coolest bit of the Southern part of the province is in the middle of the actual Great Lakes.

A temperature map which is mostly orange-red, except for the locations of Lake Ontario, Lake Superior, and Huron Bay. The rest is a sweltering lava-coloured hellscape. And the little blue dot is the location of the Crone Zone.
