Last Notes npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Something, something IRAN DIDN'T START THIS WAR YOU COWARDS. -- Joint statement from the leaders of Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan on the Strait of Hormuz We condemn in the strongest terms recent attacks by Iran on unarmed commercial vessels in the Gulf, attacks on civilian infrastructure including oil and gas installations, and the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iranian forces. [..] We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning. https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/statements/2026/03/19/joint-statement-leaders-canada-united-kingdom-france-germany-italy #cdnpoli npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie The whole diaper thing also really annoys me. Don't make seniors feel awful about these kinds of very normal things. You don't become gross and awful because your body is failing you a little. npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I knew this would be milkweed after I saw SunnJax' comment 😄 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie 7 days of work left, then it's vacation for the rest of the month!!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Me last year: *can barely recognize any birds* Me this morning: "oh, this is baby robin chirping nearby!!" 😂 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I haven't been baking much in this house before the oven is small and very powerful and I can't get the temperature and timing right... The last batch of muffins I made were awful and the ones before were all too dry for being over baked... New batch. I did everything as instructed but put the temperature 50F less. So far so good? They haven't deflated at least lol (Banana, cottage cheese and chocolate chips) https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/118/939/822/158/727/original/7a7aa19f262b3b15.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie One squirrel has been on our fence staring at me for 10 minutes. I think he's waiting for me to go away to try to get seeds from the feeder again 🤣 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Time to put back the feeders!!!!!!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie yes!! Especially Cabot trail, we had so many short trails that we wanted to do to explore all the different views 💜 this makes me so happy (also means that the situation in part of the island is slightly better too; let's hope for even more rain for the southern part!) npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I put back the upside down suet feeder first, as the song birds can't use it. Miss hairy woodpecker, who sometimes gave up on using it after being unable to aim for it properly is now *so* good at it. And she always chirps happily beforehand 🥰 They really do learn quickly! #birding npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie That's one of the things that the population doesn't understand npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie We found a working payphone #Ottawa https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/080/018/044/398/246/original/d5205fdc979b8f93.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie If you still believe Carney is focused on what the population wants... After cancelling the carbon tax After cancelling the digital service tax After cancelling the capital gains tax After asking the government to cut 15% of its expenses (after promising not to cut jobs) After forcing the flight attendants to forgo their right to strike ... And I'm not even talking about Israel, Palestine, the US I don't care if he's playing 4D chess. I believe what he has done and said so far #cdnpoli npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Not everyone has relocated (yet?). A song sparrow is eating some bugs on the ground and I'm hearing/seeing the cardinal and the hairy woodpecker nearby 💜 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie yes! I've seen them go on them too, but they really go for the bergamot first. Goldfinches seems to really really like native flower seeds npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie exactly. Which also explains all the cuts he wants at the government. Sigh. This is going to be tough npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie The white turtlehead has bloomed for the first time and I just learned that the flowers will *trap* bumblebees inside to insure proper pollinisation before releasing them!! Oh nature 🐝 #SKyard #NativePlants https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/034/377/633/885/310/original/82fdc50570012393.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Not me, still running around the yard after I've spotted a huge butterfly from the upstairs window 🤣🤣 my app says monarch?? It was really into all the milkweed! https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/864/032/416/159/813/original/19e7ca7b6ce08530.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/864/032/420/352/768/original/2af8dbbaba64ff0d.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Just keeping me company https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/835/145/231/562/206/original/75ce57f6b9f3cf63.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Little rabbit!! https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/814/457/761/538/570/original/c91266a3da7914df.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I started getting rid of the grass in the front yard last summer and now there are common blue violets all over the place (at the neighbours' too!). Saw a big bumblebee in there. https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/467/023/367/422/029/original/a3fca247ffd188bb.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Look at this gorgeous bird! A white-crowned sparrow, which is a new bird to our yard! #SKyard #BirdPhotography #Sparrow https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/444/572/111/056/955/original/2bf487f48baf6f49.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie One of our robins, during one of their thousand daily baths 😁 #SKyard #Robin https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/440/019/586/203/194/original/c7b4620541777748.mp4 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I told our robin that this is NOT a quiet spot for a nest, but I'm not sure they listened. They kept coming back 😆 this is the door we use daily. I'll be checking for nesting material! https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/434/522/487/978/631/original/47c23295cb9029b4.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie One of our surprise tulips! #SKyard #Bloomscrolling #tulip https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/427/438/230/340/379/original/d656d18d6fcdbd3e.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/427/438/300/698/498/original/b7b0aee9da78b81f.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie It's happening!!! #SKyard #Bloomscrolling #magnolia https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/422/302/179/030/265/original/85d73cf2347b52a6.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/422/302/195/283/476/original/4236c8ce34152ae1.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie merci!!! ☺️ npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie we got three and I'm hoping we get a male and a female!!!!! Fingers crossed npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie oh no not boxwoods 😂 I think we're getting our spicebushes and chokeberry with our flowers! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie oh that's early!! And exciting!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Ahhh one more year npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie tiny wild bergamot! And extra bluestem goldenrod https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/349/669/517/196/015/original/92b7c23d258c0ba9.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/349/669/819/689/607/original/b9d661708da758d8.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie LOL! Yeah I use Merlin a loooot. Sometimes just to confirm, even if I'm getting pretty good at recognizing the calls of some of them! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I'm the same, I'm always using my ID app 😂 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Hahahah I love that!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Oh I'll go take some later! It's very tiny leaves for now, I needed my ID app to be sure it was the right thing 😆 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Ohhh, that looks like the catmint I bought for this year! Super pretty! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie That does seem new! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie not at all! Well some are.. but I'm thinking that native plants are better adapted and might grow back faster? I don't know anything about plants, just amazed at them 😂 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Yes!! I'd say that over half my plants have started growing little leaves already! Seems like they started under the snow haha npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Yes, the plants got huge last year, so I'm feeling pretty confident! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I am so happy for you 💜 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie The wild bergamot has started to grow back (and has finally submerged from under the snow) and the leaves already smell sooo good! I hope it blooms this year! #NativePlants npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I want the Greens to be there too. But we can't deny the fact that the Bloc elects a lot more MPs and has a lot more support, even if it's just in one province npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie 3 criteria. You need to respect 2 out of 3. Bloc has more than two MP, and more than 4% of national support npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Ahh maybe! Good to know, we'll try to get it soon then! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie 💜 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Ohh I wanna add a bee hotel/house. So it works well for you?? npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie And no more Greens at the debates (they dropped too many candidates to be eligible) npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie and that was two weeks ago. It really didn't take long npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie ah that's different! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie as I said, I know the difference, but it doesn't come naturally, I still have to stop and think, so that can explain the mistake sometimes :) npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie English is your first language right? That's a harder thing to do when it's not :) npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I need to think about it so much every time I write one of those, even if I know the difference 😬 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Blanchet has been complaining about the Greens participating and stealing time from him too 🙄 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Alright, debate at 6 pm instead of 8 pm tomorrow. Earlier is not a bad thing at least, and some people might put it on during dinner instead of watching the news https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/french-language-debate-quebec-1.7510909 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie it was pretty big hail over here npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie ended up hailing 😱 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie The debate in French might be delayed... because of hockey. Sigh. #cdnpoli npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie And I appreciate that he actually interacts with people too npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie 😆 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Oh, hi! #SKyard #BirdPhotography #Robin https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/342/981/916/146/240/original/30cfd4bc39f4f249.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I had to complain here to finally succeed 😆 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Dave the Diver is supposed to be chill, but I'm having so much trouble with the Kronosaurus boss fight 😭 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie running outside to dig my pot of gold!!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie If you post your comments under a CW, you can totally post spoilers! That's the main purpose of CW! 😄 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie 😂 yes maybe! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I *think* it was one of the ministers... @npub1rep…5ueq npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Yeah I hate it... Did you see one Québec politician said that we can't "take care of all the misery in the world"? We could at least help them... @npub1rep…5ueq npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I remember seeing a lot of signs on the streets though! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Haha yes!!! Maybe he needed a little stretch after all that singing! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie That's true!! The couple is definitely very loud right now! Our basement window gives on that side of the house, so I can hear them chirp when I'm on the computer downstairs haha npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I'm not totally sure what this little guy was doing?? He stayed like that for a little while haha Male goldfinch, in spring plumage #SKyard #Goldfinch https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/342/007/328/276/183/original/dee0aaccbf348452.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Oh right, I forgot about that!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie it's not only about 338. There is just no good polling at a riding level. 338 explains it on their website, but they used historical voting patterns, demographics, and other data and then extrapolate from that. I think walking in your riding to see the lawn signs can help. Personally, I just decided to give up strategic voting (especially as I live in a safe riding) npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I love our robins so much, they tolerate us and they run around everywhere! Can't wait to put the bigger bird bath out. They take the best baths haha npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I wouldn't go there. They extrapolate data, and they're open about that npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I will repeat it because it's important: We have almost no riding-level polling in Canada. 338Canada is NOT reliable at a riding-level. If you *want* to vote strategically, do not base your decision entirely on polls and 338. #cdnpoli npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie RIP your gums npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Good choice! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie But you're right, wow, I hadn't noticed all the little green sprouts!! I threw tons of different types of clover around before the first snow in the fall. Seems like it worked!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Thank you!!! I wish I had had a little more time to get a better focus, but I'm really not a pro haha I'm sure I'll have more chances later, I looked outside and they were still in the yard 💜 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Found a grape! #SKyard #BirdPhotography #Robin https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/338/010/499/895/183/original/b3b5c2b3ba5e727a.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie We've been getting some in our local produce basket, and they're really good! Been mostly using them as a replacement for potatoes in stews for now! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I had read that robins love grapes in the spring, but the squirrels were always getting to them first 😆 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Yes!!! I soon as I have time to look at the pictures, I'm hoping some are good 💜 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie We're pretty lucky! Even if I love rabbits, I'm glad we don't have them at our place! The squirrels are annoying, but they're more dangerous for the tiny plants than the trees haha It's the trees' first spring with us, so it's exciting to see that we didn't fail them! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Spring textures Our weeping larch is getting ready to grow new needles, and our dwarf lilac should bloom soon! #SKyard https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/337/706/628/999/357/original/0a49884d43b5d6e6.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/114/337/706/891/847/371/original/30b64f8b66c55e16.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Ouf, je viens de voir le thread, et on m'a fait la même chose il n'y a pas longtemps! Comme quoi je pourrais apprendre à devenir bonne dans les jeux de style Souls, alors que non!! C'est frustrant quand les gens lisent une partie d'une publication, sans lire le reste (ou sans vouloir croire le reste!). @npub12sa…2fym npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie The best breaks are bird breaks npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Please tell me if I mess up! Because I notice it happen to me sometimes (just being a woman, I'm assuming), so I can't imagine how much worse it is for you! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie 💜💜 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I'm friends with multiple autistic people here and I'm always scared that I'll do it by accident 😔 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I killed the camera battery taking pictures of a robin eating a grape 😍😍 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Alright, I had tried to whole more protein, more fiber, more water, and it didn't help at all npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie They're talking about actual cravings though. And just... easily choose the healthier option. I have an eating disorder, and Ozempic has completely changed my relationship with food (and sugary drinks - even the 0 calorie ones). I just don't "think" about food most of the time. I've completely stopped drinking diet sodas; they stopped tasting good, or being interesting to my brain and my body. It's really quite amazing npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I personally think it's bad for accessibility reason (and I've heard that it makes it much harder for the election workers). I have no idea how well it works to spread their message npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I think he meant that cucumbers are wrapped in plastic in SW Ontario, which I can confirm (English cucumbers - not the field ones) npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie The most important info: "Here’s the kicker: we have almost no riding-level polling in Canada. Outside of a few battlegrounds, the model fills in gaps using: Past election results. Proportional swing logic. Demographic similarity. That’s a smart workaround—but it’s not measurement. It’s inference. So when the model assigns a riding a 74% chance of going Liberal and a 26% chance of going Conservative, it’s not based on direct evidence. It’s statistical storytelling." npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I'm sorry about the Substack link, but here is why people shouldn't trust 338Canada on a riding level, and it scares me a bit how intense people seem to be right now with strategic voting, based on flawed info https://jaesaens.substack.com/p/why-the-338canada-model-misfires
