I'm not. npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Well that did not work. https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/116/471/878/686/184/335/original/df2be6b6a8a225da.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I have finally told the kids next door to stop throwing their stuff over our fence into our yard. I don't think this will work, but... Every day. Toys. Helmets. Recycling. I would throw it all in the garbage but they're pretty poor :/ npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie They're very good friends. They always defend each other when they're being accused of "being shitty" npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Yeah I was waiting to see the actual press release first. Did not make me less mad than the short news article!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Four mentions of Iran. Zero mention of the US. Zero mention of Israel. They can all get fucked. #IranWar 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 I definitely still use some ableist terms (I'm really finding it difficult with some words like crazy, insane - about events though, not people). However, physical traits are so easy to avoid. So many things to complain about than their physical attributes. I've filtered a lot of them, so people might think I'm ignoring them sometimes lol npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Yes same! I really don't regret it! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I mean, everyone starts somewhere 😅 That's why I approve my followers now. I usually give them a day to add a bio/picture or post something npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Me when I started a new playthrough of #Palia : "I won't do the bundles, or the grindy achievements. I won't be too completionist!!" Me today... (People who have played will understand 😆) https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/137/793/717/402/363/original/699bd15c9f4c9a59.png npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Ohhh you're right, "miroir". Had totally forgotten about that one. I always order "brouillé, I can't be bothered haha npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie It's a bit like that in French!

Common Eastern bumblebee and striped sweat bee 🐝 #SKyard #NativePlants #pollinators https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/135/362/958/447/879/original/f34ca9310ac228cf.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/135/362/956/370/879/original/da8809ce40f4f0fb.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Again 😆 We haven't had our real "yearly" vacation yet! We're roadtripping all around Nova Scotia! 😄 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 These are bad pictures, but I thought I would still share them because they really show how *tiny* ruby-throated hummingbirds are! Also it was the first time that she sat on the cables for so long (at least a few minutes) #SKyard https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/118/472/940/109/762/original/5ecea8fba9f87a1a.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/118/473/228/972/065/original/c74e4eb4acf6f7ff.jpg https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/118/473/450/157/017/original/23699d29bf096c97.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 looool. That's terrifying The Logic asked Solomon’s office for a copy of the audio file that he used to brief himself. “I don’t have it and I’m sure it’s deleted after he used it but I’m sure the same podcast is generated with a similar prompt so you could most likely replicate it,” press secretary Sofia Ouslis responded. npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie 9-10? Mid elementary school is when we started learning English. But we didn't have anglophones teaching us. I learned during my teenage years. Learned Spanish around 15-16 until 19 maybe? German when I was 18-19 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Oil and pipelines, babyyyyy npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Lol, of course the anti-environmental office will be in Alberta ---- Dawn Farrell, chair of the board of directors of the Trans Mountain Corporation, has been named the CEO of the Liberal government's Major Projects Office, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Friday. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/major-projects-office-carney-1.7620935 #cdnpoli npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Every document I see about AI is about "Responsible and ethical use of AI" guess that'll change fast npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I didn't even know Ontario grew watermelons, very cool! And yes, I've always used and heard melon d'eau in Québec 😁 Pastèque is more used in France if I'm not mistaken! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie That's one of the things that the population doesn't understand npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Yes!! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie BLUEBERRY nom nom nom (I was too far to get a good quality shot, but the timing? 😄) #SKyard https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/103/288/436/384/865/original/fb04519dccfc2f88.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie that feels so much more useful than a number though npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie And here it is --- Premier Doug Ford is urging the federal government to follow the City of Ottawa’s lead and bring federal public servants back to the office five days a week. https://www.ctvnews.ca/ottawa/article/ontario-premier-calls-on-federal-government-to-bring-workers-back-to-office-5-days-a-week/ #Ottawa npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I knew I would make it rain! You're welcome #Ottawa npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie We're apparently going to ship our gaz to Germany... Who knows about the AI lol the planet is so fucked npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie We're going to lose so many scientific researches, projects and programs.... But yay pipelines and submarines. npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie .. Reddit is now working on suing Q4P for denying rights to disabled people who were stuck during the negotiations npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie "We'll save time by translating/writing it ourselves"! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Last year, Capital Pride lost all their funding a couple of weeks before the parade because (my friend) refused to remove their Pro-Palestine messaging. Tons of sponsors dropped out at the last minute. As far as I know, the mayor and sponsors asked again this year and Capital Pride decided to fold this time around. npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie A friend of mine was running the parade last year and lost almost all his funding just before the parade because he wouldn't remove the Pro-Palestinian stuff from the parade. I'm guessing he left this year if it's back to that... npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I'm reading One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This from Omar El Akkad. It's about, of course, the genocide in Palestine, but also the life of Brown people, especially after Sept-11. It's incredibly well written (he's a journalist), and I keep nodding along while reading. It's really powerful (and it doesn't even include what has been happening this past year). It also gives some more context in the region's history. npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie I do think it's fair to complain about what we don't agree with, especially when it's opposite of what he campaigned on npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie you're happy with his actions about Palestine? 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 We just watched Love & Monsters (2020). I had really low expectations but it was such a fun post apocalyptic comedy action movie! npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Imported by, means it was made elsewhere https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/074/175/208/240/520/original/475839050688fbf8.png npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Tariffs are stupid anyway, so I don't really mind us dropping them. HOWEVER. Do something else? All we've done so far is dropping measures. We suck. #cdnpoli npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie it's my FIL ☺️ It kinda match his personality, he's funny in a subtle way npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie One of the things I've never liked about Facebook/Instagram, etc. is that everyone was always posting positive things only and it felt like no one had any problems at all and it felt really lonely. But I find myself censoring myself here too, sometimes for quite some time... putting feelings behind CWs because I see other people asking daily that we protect *their* mental health by being more positive. But life is hard. And it ends up feeling a bit taboo to share some feelings, some news. There is no actual solution, I know that. You either share, and some people will unfollow, thinking you're selfish. Or you share under CWs (or don't share at all), and make it even less acceptable to share. 🤷♀️ npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Canola, canola, canola all day long 🎵 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Not everyone has relocated (yet?).

Omg I want to cry, he seems completely blind, didn't move when I approached 😭😭 npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie The weather is good so we can finally go for a walk yay! But I still have heart palpitations boo. So we'll be doing an easy boardwalk at Mer bleue so I don't over do it. Bogs are always cool npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie It was too hot so we went to a boardgame cafe this afternoon. I usually always lose to Kyle, but I kicked his butt so much playing Patchwork and making the best quilt 🤣 https://assets.ottawa.place/media_attachments/files/115/040/814/971/596/073/original/94e4ea671839bd2e.jpg npub1jay5dsajp9lsx9qdq3za4cf8p69nxc362sgctvpq6rgxemhkxjlqgj80k8 Stéphanie Nooooo the squirrel is on the roof 😱😱 I don't think the crows got their peanuts yet.
