This is it, boys. This is war. I have about a million reasons to be glad I'm not American, but holy fucking shit... I'd be ashamed of my citizenship/heritage/country till the day I died, if our elected leader acted like this. Fuck the USA, fuck Trump, and fuck the US men's hockey team.

I saw this on Reddit and CACKLED.

Wayne Gretzky, with an American flag painted over his face and wearing a dress white and blue suit. He looks like a smug piece of shit, and text says "what Canadians see"

I will never love anything as much as our cats love Yeowww bananas. So glad we stocked up before #ElbowsUp. #CatsOfBluesky #Catsky #cats

Just realized that an earlier post that the wrong photo attached, so I'll try again! I got pushed a threads post on FB. Remember at the end of Witches of Eastwick, when Jack Nicholson is reduced to this weird little misshapen thing outside? That's what this photo of Trump reminded me of.

A photo of the side of Trump's face, with a pronounced orange circle of Tanner.

A photo of a scene in Witches of Eastwick, where the devil character is a weird little wood sprite looking thing, viewed from the side in the same sort of look as the trump photo.

I'm still on Facebook, as I have to be, for business. I don't have a choice in the matter. Facebook pushes me the MOST unhinged shit, especially from official US government departments. Take this, for example. In other news, my new years resolution is "train like the Nazis are coming".

A photo of Donald Trump, wannabe Hitler. Text overlay says this is our hemisphere. Accompanying text says this is our hemisphere and President Trump will not allow our security to be threatened.

So how long till we see Lebensborn 2.0? You know they're gonna do the thing.

I am really annoyed at Doug Ford for doing shit that makes me cheer him on. I do not want to like that fucker at ALL.

I got out of the USA alive. Had my life saved by moving to Canada (Cancer that would have killed me in the USA). ... And I might actually die from secondhand embarrassment over that country, yet. Jesus.

An Instagram post from the white house, featuring an AI image of Trump, jacked up and holding a red lightsaber, with Eagles at his shoulders. Below it is a thoroughly unhinged post about radical left lunatics who are working to bring sith lords to the USA and are the empire.

A friend posted this on Facebook, I'm sharing it with permission. Fellow white people, cis people, etc... DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS NONSENSE. If you don't stand for the rights of the early targets, you will shoulder a chunk of the blame when they come for YOUR rights.

A screen shot that says: Thought you might like to know that this Republican administration thought it was a worthwhile use of time and YOUR tax dollars to update the I-9 form required for employers.

On April 2, 2025, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released an updated Form I-9.

The new Form I-9 has the following changes:
The term “noncitizen” was replaced with “alien”
The term “gender” was replaced with “sex”
A new edition date of 1/20/25

For now, employers can still use the original form, but soon employers will be required to confirm that they have no "aliens" working for them. The people who have taken control of the government are garbage humans. If you're currently living in another country, friends, DO NOT come to America (seriously - it's f**king dire).

Me: I'm just gonna pop on Facebook for a moment and see what my friends are up to: Facebook: Look at this nonsense that you're not even subscribed to. Holy tits, right wing *middle* aged white men are really obsessed with cosplaying oppression.

Man, fuck Minnesota. Yes, I know it's unlikely to go anywhere. The thing is, though... All those Republicans pursuing this are elected by Minnesotans. You know, as are the ones that were pushing for a mandatory registry of autistic people before I left

I'm just going to go ahead and drop this here, because if *I* had to be subjected to that mental image, so does everyone else.

Still blows my mind that when it comes to kids, my husband's homeland is more afraid of drag queens and chocolate eggs, than assault rifles in schools. I like to buy him one from time to time, to remind him that freedom tastes like Italian chocolate.

This was in Minneapolis. It's what finally convinced by husband to file the paperwork for him to immigrate to Canada.

Went on a little waterfall tour of #hamont today. We live in a truly gorgeous city, I cannot believe how many waterfalls are in a ~30 minute radius of our house! Just putting this out as a hint to my American friends. Especially my Minnesota friends. The food is WAY better here, too.

It warmed up enough today to go birding at Fifty Point Conservation Area. Saw a ton of Downy Woodpeckers and ducks, had a great walk. Damn, I love living in #HamOnt!! #Ontario #birding #hiking #winter #photography #Canada #Canadian

Well, everything may be falling down around us, but I started my day off with a Jamaican beef patty and Jamaican pepper sauce (don't judge the little drop, I went back for more!) for breakfast, so life is feeling pretty good at the moment.

Seriously, I thought THIS was going to be the worst thing I saw today:

I recently started teaching myself too! I started with dangle earrings, thinking I'd make a Christmas gift for my cousin ... Fringe is a lot more difficult than I expected. I accidentally skipped a couple beads on the last strand and almost threw it. Haven't worked on it since, LoL

I dunno, but it's been that way for at least 14 years though!

What's weird is that is actually less awful than the real thing. ... Which looks like a bucket of blood getting dropped on the earth, imho

It's a doro wat kinda day. You know, I love been on a keto diet - for the most part - but having to budget onion, garlic, and berbere due to carb count is horseshit. I feel like onions, garlic, herbs, and spices should just not count.
