Secular Sunday – Atheists Among The Most Likely To Be Vaccinated, Evangelicals Among The Least Likely

Hmm, could the ability to trust science and use logic vs. the ability to believe in conspiratorial fairy tales and misplaced authority be part of this?

Saturday Snap – Negative Covid Test!

I hate how it feels almost inevitable that one of these tests is going to come up positive one of these days, especially with how fast Omicron is apparently spreading. But not today, Satan! 😉

Music Monday – “They give me all these flowers and these big balloons/But I’m not gonna stay in this little room/I don’t wanna die in this hospital, I don’t wanna die”

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the saying “You know how much money you have; you never know how much time you have.” If it’s not obvious, what it means is that you (roughly) know how much money you have – what your paycheque is every two weeks, what your investments are worth, the […]

Saturday Snap – Swimming Lessons in the Age of Covid

Sasha missed her first week while we were waiting for a Covid test result (luckily negative!) Then when we arrive for this week, it’s a very different experience than ever before – proof of vaccination to enter a city facility, get a stamp to confirm to any other staff that we were screened by their […]
