Why’s is it called left and right wing? This seems arbitrary to me, an ambidextrous person. And why does the media insist on calling fascists and Nazis the far right instead of what they actually are? Also, why are conservatives called conservatives when they don’t seem to want to conserve anything? Conservation doesn’t at all seem to be part of their plan. None of it makes sense to me.
Even though I don’t use Facebook and haven’t for a few years, even though I did leave a forwarding post on there letting folks know that I’m not on FB but on Mastodon or my blog (with links to both), I still get scores of people sending me happy birthday messages on my fb account. Some of them have my number, even, but rather than text me, they send their happy birthday messages there. They even could have emailed me, but none of them did. It’s so very weird. Ever since I left FB, my pool of friends has dried right up. It kinda feels like my fb account is a memorial account, and they are honouring my memory rather than trying to contact me. I am so weirded out by this behaviour.
I don’t have AMC but really want to watch season two of Interview With the Vampire. The first season was amazing: everything I wanted it to be. And super duper sexy. And super duper gay. Anyone know if the second season is on dvd or anything? #horror#InterviewWithTheVampire#queer#gay
I just did a bunch of weeding in the garden. I would have done more, but my SI joint was screaming at me to stop. Cleared out around my lavender plants, at least, and then watered all my tomatoes and peppers. Something is starting to eat some of my tomato leaves. Not sure what. Possibly slugs. Time to break out beer traps and diatomaceous earth. My butternut squash looks like it’s fighting off the beginnings of powdery mildew, too. Gonna have to figure something out for that, too. It afflicted my cucumbers badly last year. #gardening
I appear to have fixed my locked SI joint by rolling out on my AcuBall. So glad I bought one a few years ago. It’s better than a lacross ball or foam roller for getting in there. Heating it helps a lot. https://acuball.com
I think I will be doing a storytelling performance in Toronto next month for National Indigenous Peoples Month. If it’s the same as the past two years, it will be broadcasted online. I’ll share the details when I get them.
@bmacDonald94 my grandfather died of a rare cancer. Every man in his unit died of the same cancer around the same time. I don’t know what he was exposed to. He never told us what he did because it was top secret.
