Randomly on a holiday Friday. If you’ve ever come back from outside and found an inchworm has somehow hitched a ride - time to up your game on tick checks. www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

Sunday morning community fridge stocking. Chickpea curry with rice. Also brought peanut butter, tuna, tomato sauce, spaghetti, zucchinis, oranges, tomatoes, and orange peppers. Gal I see regularly, always wears a mask (surgical). Stashed some better ones in my glove compartment, connected today.

It is demoralizing that folks don’t have the basic info they need to protect themselves from Covid. Why are there no public health campaigns to share facts? I remember telling my Mom that you could have Covid and have no symptoms - she thought this was a good thing. #CovidIsAirborne

I come to your table and take your drink order. I leave the table to get your drinks. You are compelled by something to in the next second call the host over to tell her you are ready to order. Folks, where do you think the person who will take your order is? Are you addled?

Sunday morning community fridge stocking. Beef stirfry with rice. Green salad on the side. Also brought apples, rice, carrots, chicken breast, mushrooms, and rotini. Zucchini came from my community garden plot.

There is nothing I love so much I won’t abandon it for the sake of justice. This morning this is specifically about that wizard lady bitch but it applies across the board. On the daily I see folks ignore disqualifying facts because they don’t want their ease affected. White hot rage I tell you.

Reading Rebecca Solnit yesterday. “Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible.” Swoon. I needed to hear that. Yes - things are tough. But we CAN make them better. Just cause you can’t pick up every piece of garbage doesn’t mean it isn’t of value or pick up that 1 coffee cup.

Here to answer the age old puzzler - why is someone wearing a mask when they’re alone in the car? Why do you care? Literally what’s it to you? I just picked the car up after servicing. All I know about the person who worked on my car is that they are a lot taller than me.

Niche Ontario Heard an item about this organization on the CBC this morning. One of the women who has a tiny home was so profoundly grateful that it hurt my heart. If you have a few bucks to spare. shalomsmallhomeskemptville.org/donate

If I’m going to be unhappy perhaps I’ll move home to Nova Scotia and be unhappy near the ocean. Funny to me that after 40 years away I still call it home.

Sunday morning community fridge stocking. Pasta salad with chicken, fresh cherries for dessert. Also brought mushrooms, bananas, coucous, tuna, and freezies. In a training this week, the ask was to take action - at the scale of your life. I’m just a person. Every person can take action.

I would like the universe to adjust targeting.

My willingness to listen to you bitch about Prime Minister Carney Premier Doug Ford Mayor Mark Sutcliffe is in direct proportion to you taking action. Any action - find your lane. Want to hands up flail everything is terrible? I’m not the one.

Now the guardian of an extra plot at the community garden cause the original gardener had to take a break. It’s a bit like being handed a piece of knitting already on the needles. Only you don’t know what the pattern is and you didn’t get to choose the yarn. Totally different gardener intelligence.

Sunday morning community fridge stocking. Hummus with pita, carrot and celery sticks. Also brought potatoes, onions, bananas, and eggs. Had leftover carrot/celery sticks so I bagged those in little snack packs. Feel like my garlic meter is on the fritz, garlicked it up but it could use more.

Went to the Anarchist Bookfair yesterday. The uplift I didn’t know I needed. First - everybody masked. Just wearing masks like they were wearing shoes. Second - energizing to spend time with folks who care about what I care about. Grateful for thoughtful conversations. A better world is possible.

Can we not be alone with ourselves? Allotment garden yesterday, woman one plot over listening (no headphone!) to an audiobook while she weeds. I cannot communicate how beautiful this whole garden area is and like girl, just be where you are.

Sunday morning community fridge stocking. Pulled pork sandwiches with a dilled potato salad. Secret ingredient to the pulled pork - Dr. Pepper! Crock pot for the win. Also brought apples, carrots, rice, and smoked turkey. Hope is a survival strategy.
