The Wexford Carol, music from 12th century Ireland, the oldest Christmas Carol still sung today. Happy Christmas from the west of Ireland ? pic.twitter.com/5nNOZU3mok
I’m pretty hard on religion and a lot of people are saying her “grieving” isn’t appropriate. But if I’m being completely honest, if she’s truly a hardcore Christian Evangelical, I’m guessing that there’s nothing deeper here (literally) than her thinking that her husband dying was somehow “God’s plan” and she’s now inherited his role of, uhm, owning the libs or something? I mean, like most far right Evangelical Christian stuff, her WWE-style entrance is weird as fuck. But hey, we all grieve in our own way, right?
Somewhat fitting that a random gentleman was handing out free homemade reindeer carvings at a local pub/Regina institution where I’ve drank enough (rein)beer over the years to turn my nose *very* red. (Only drank Diet Coke this visit though.)
This is a huge problem. (I think I’m fairly tech savvy but I’m already having situations where my kids are saying “Dad – that’s AI!” They’re more skeptical but will they get sucked in too as it ges better and better?)
In 2–3 years, there will be no way to tell what’s real and what’s not… and I have no idea how humanity will deal with this enormous problem. pic.twitter.com/TgkE1BvAig
Pretty amazing that one of the doctors that Shea works with picked up the entire tab for a Christmas party, both for the staff at his clinic plus the unit he works with the most at the hospital.
And he didn’t cheap out – appetizers, full buffet meal, photo booth, games, DJ and dancing. It was a cash bar but there was even a spiked punch bowl that people could help themselves to!
And, as always, one of the best parts is hearing how much people love the library when they hear where I work! (We were behind another doctor in the food line and she was gushing “Oh, we LOVE the library! My kids were there all the time. We’re very much a book family, not a sports family!”
“Wow – which branch was your home branch?” I asked.
“Oh, that was in Ottawa!” she replied. 😉
One of the hardworking healthcare workers in this picture even worked briefly at RPL a few years ago – for any coworkers reading this, can you spot who it is?
