Normally, Saturday Snap is a pic I’ve taken but I came across this on social media and decided to post it… We’ve been fortunate to do a winter holiday for the past few years so now that we’re into February, it’s starting to hit me that this won’t be happening this year (doesn’t help that […]

What In The Flying Fuck Was That? #tre45on #trumptreason #uspoli #CheetoMussolini #HairHitler #TrumpleThinskin #YallQaeda
So Washington DC basically became like something from a movie today as Trump held a big rally at the same time as Congress was certifying the Electoral College results (normally, a formality but with all the talk of “rigged elections”, various Republicans were going to try to gum up the process as much as possible) […]
The Covid Continuum
As Saskatchewan adds more restrictions, mostly on retailers in the post-Christmas period, I’m thinking a lot about how everyone is somewhere different on what I think of as the “Covid Continuum”. I’d say the range for this starts with anyone who’s absolutely minimized their outings since March – maybe only leaving the house to buy […]
A Visual Representation of 2020 for Christmas?
Sasha tested out her new Christmas makeup on me and I realised this process made a good analogy for 2020 in general… * it was unexpected, sort of weird and occasionally scary * it looks like somebody got beat up (or possibly has a communicable disease) * I had my eyes closed for most of […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Isla Mujeres Ferry (And A Selection of Things I Miss In Covid Times) (March 2018)
This was taken on the ferry to Isla Mujeres during a trip to Cancun in March 2018. Amazing how much a single photo can capture how much our world has changed… 1. International Travel 2. Being in a Crowd 3. No one wearing masks 4. Somebody singing in front of people 5. Sightseeing Excursions
Multiple Thoughts on Multiple Elections #skpoli #yqr #yxe
In order… SASK PROVINCIAL ELECTION (OCT 26) 1. In my initial post-mortem, I chalked up at least one big factor in the NDP’s failure to do well up to people wanting the status quo during a pandemic. (This was bolstered by the BC NDP actually growing their majority a few days earlier.) But as detailed […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – 10 Horrifying Things I Saw Watching Family Home Movies From the 1970’s
As previously mentioned, we went to Indian Head to celebrate my parents’ 49th wedding anniversary last weekend. As part of the trip down memory lane, we ended up watching some old home movies one night. My dad regularly filmed holidays and parties and family gatherings with an 8mm camera when we were kids so, when […]
10 Reasons The Sask Party Doesn’t Deserve Another Mandate #skpoli #skvotes
Maybe I should’ve posted this earlier since a lot of people (including Shea and I) have already voted by mail or in the early polls. But with the bulk of the votes still to come tomorrow and the polls showing a tightening race, I figured I’d do one last post about the current provincial election […]
10 Thoughts on The Eve of #skpoli Debate
I haven’t been writing a lot about politics lately but wanted to note a few thoughts as the Saskatchewan provincial campaign is about halfway done and the leaders of the two main parties will have their only debate tomorrow night. There’s still a large gap but some encouraging news in a poll today that shows […]
My Thoughts On Some Controversial Library Opinions
There was a good Twitter thread recently which posed a simple question: “What’s your controversial library opinion?” I thought it might be interesting to record some of my responses to these opinions whether I agreed or disagree (if this isn’t clear, all the bolded opinions below were submitted by Twitbrarians and the plain text under […]
