Ok so respectfully, my work and the work of many of my artist and writer friends were stolen to make these programs. So I ask that you not link AI memes in my replies.. thanks.

No.

This is about direct animal torture that happens in labs across Canada, as well as the inability of police to go after a lot of animal abusers

But if you're asking "will this mean people can steal animals from farms and release them" no.

But if you're asking "will this curb animal testers taking animals from shelters in Ontario and then subjecting them to horrible experiments that are banned in other nations" yes

I suspect this will be used to help stop the way animal testing is done in Canada. Even Doug Ford lost his shit over that.

Oh! Books2Read is just a "place with all of the links so that I do not have to link to everything" lol All retailers pay me about the same ~70%

You can buy it from Payhip (which is direct from me) so that pays me ~90%? 92% πŸ€”Something like that lol

FYI - I grew up with bagged milk in NL, too, but as soon as she pulled out the milk I knew she was in Ontario.

a mug, a plastic container. Inside the plastic container is a bag of milk. Yes, a bag. A clear plastic bag.

But also, I firmly believe Yoga by Adrienne "at your desk" and her "I just want to do yoga on my couch" are the best ever lol

I should note it's a "gentle yoga" class so it's mostly stretching, with some light strength building, and about a billion adaptations offered.

Hell, the Monday instructor cannot lift one of her arms over her head, so her adaptations are πŸ”₯

When I was a runner and cyclist, I hated things like yoga (I liked weight lifting and pilates, though). Then when I got hurt, that changed a lot of what I could and couldn't do.

I'm allowed to do yoga now, and also I am so resentful that it helps LOL

I admit I'm a little resentful about how good yoga has been for my crippled hot mess of a body lolsob

Wars of Light and Shadow in Audiobook: you can now listen to Colin Mace narrate the first three volumes/available from your favorite outlet. (Warhost on Pre-order, coming March 19th) - let's tip the scales and get the rest in production:

And I honestly worry about those employees who truly did the right thing - they reported it!! - then for them to watch the news and realize what had happened...

b/c the ones who ignored it? They aren't going to be bothered. Those employees *didn't* ignore it, and I worry for them.

I moved to NB just a few years after his murders and it was still something everyone talked about. My brother also lived in Truro at the time (where the serial killer was spotted for a while).

Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka are the top two most hated Canadians in history.

The coroner's inquest has already been called. We all suspect a provincial inquiry. And there's called for a federal one into the shooting.

I hope every single family sues Open AI. I hope the town sues them. I hope when all of the inquiries are called that they are dragged through the mud for years
