Dear
@TimHoustonNS
, sweetheart, darling, Numbertaker.
You could make an 11th hour call to keep masks on in phase 3 or admit you were wrong in mid April.
Up to you boss.
Love,
Katy Jean.
Anyway.
My aunt lost her house.
She had mostly everything that physically remained of my grandparents and irreplaceable pieces and documents of family history.
All is burned.
The chair.
Oh my goodness, the chair.
My family has an oddity/ artifact known simply as "the chair."
The chair is special because it's not.
That metal piece is part of an anchor the flew into the yard during the Halifax Explosion.
Years later, the property owner made it a chair.
Sweet Crispy Crunch I know you can still get COVID when you're vaccinated. The vaccine SIGNIFICANTLY decreases your chances of hospitalization and death so that you're not clogging up the ICU beds and staff when someone puts their head through a fucking windshield in a car crash.
Hello friends!
My Twitter keeps crashing as my account is reinstated and followers and following are put back.
I'm seeing now all the support and I am blown away. Thank you so much for all the tweets and concerns!
I am very happy to be back.
Early mornings commuters in Halifax and the surrounding areas:
Wildlife are escaping the fires.
Watch out for deer, raccoons. porcupine and similar while being aware birds and winged wildlife may be in unexpected areas or flying lower than usual.
While searching for a turkey that would be the heaviest weight for the second lowest cost, the most delightful man appeared next to me.
"You wanna know how much they really weigh?" The older gentlemen in a N95 asks.
He goes into his pocket and takes out a red hanging hook scale.
Six years ago this child entered the world in the most chaotic fashion and for six years he has sustained the same energy.
Happy birthday, Vincent. โค๏ธ
My child, who rarely says full sentences, just walked up to me with a single square of toilet paper and said "please clean up cat puke."
Glad this monumental moment had such a brilliant topic.
Today I went to Province House to take photos for a story about coincidence and fate.
@IainTRankin
was getting out of his car. I said hello. He said he had something for me and reached into his front seat.
I had no idea what or why he'd have something for me.
I am so honoured!

That's you. That how you sound immunity debt people.

@TimHoustonNS
, love, darling, Numbertaker,
You know what you need to do.
You don't even have to say you were wrong. You can just follow the science.
Love,
Katy Jean
Some commenter's obviously did not get to the part of the video where I mention that I am no longer obligated to be polite to people on social media if I don't want to be.
Two families in Nova Scotia are planning funerals today for loved ones killed by the virus.
We are just coming out of the worst wave of this entire pandemic.
Should Rankin have pulled the plugged the day before opening? No.
Should he have opened to New Brunswick? No.

Halifax sees its biggest cruise ship arrival of the year today: The 5,600-passenger Oasis of the Seas. Last month for
@TwitCoast
, I wrote about the conundrum the cruise industry presentsโand the risk it brings of polluting our oceans beyond repair.
There's nobody in Halifax that didn't see the Beirut explosion today and didn't think of our own.
There's nobody in Halifax that doesn't know someone from Lebanon.
I hope we can be the helpers everyone looks for.
In my experience covering wildfires:
Tomorrow is going to be worse and we will know as much as today.
Fire is unpredictable. They don't have paths and timelines like hurricanes and similarly they don't chose the easiest path like water.
Be patient. Stay alert. Shut your windows.
I find one turkey that looks like a decent size with the coloured tag that corresponds with my price point.
We weigh it.
10.6 pounds or 4.808 kilograms.
The tag says 4.545 kilograms.
I found my deal.
He continued to weigh turkeys as I thanked him.
He wished me a Merry Christmas.
My kid was the reason for an amber alert today.
I have never been so scared in my entire life.
I don't know how long it was. Maybe not even five minutes and my brain went so many places it is now fried.
Hi friends,
Unfortunately, I will not be at Nova Swoons this evening.
I cannot sit in a space 100 feet from a tent city with the men who have ordered them to leave.
I am so sorry. I understand any and all disappointment. It is mutual.
Another time. โค๏ธ
Jeremy MacKenzie, leader of the Diagolon collective whose members allegedly plotted to kill RCMP officers and who is himself facing weapons charges, seems to have bent Poilievre's ear at a recent Halifax campaign event.
(I wouldn't expect Poilievre to recognize MacKenzie.)
I'm assuming there's no convoy this weekend because they're all helping Ukraine fight an authoritarian fascist who's committing war crimes? Is that right? Is that where they went? Isn't that what they do?
