Maybe, but at least for now, I still have a bit of hope things won’t get that bad. But who knows

I felt such an ominous sense of dread on wenesday followed by anxiety and anger the last few days. As a Canadian, I am not going to be a direct target or victim, but I am so worried about the cruelty and suffering this will bring on others. The harassment and violence have already started to spread, the amount of people contemplating suicide is heartbreaking. There will undoubtedly be so much damage beyond the USA, be it from foreign policy, idiotic economic shortsightedness, or malicious decisions on environmental policy. I have had to start blocking out news and social media related to the election because it was really affecting me mentally, I feel bad avoiding/embracing ignorance, but I need a break

There are less adults/competent/people with any morals in the room now. Swap John Kelly and some of the slightly more upstanding members of his inner circle for RFK Jr and some of the worst of the worst

Danny Deckchair was a fabulous film inspired by this guy!

I love making huge batches of breakfast wraps (scrambled eggs, veggies, cheese in a tortilla) and freezing them in ziplocks for when I am hungry and too lazy to cook

I would do my current job for free with people who need it but couldn’t afford it (massage) think seniors, sick, disabled ect. Also, spend time working with animal rescue/shelters in some way

RhinoShield has been all I will ever order for the last, maybe 10 years or at least as long as I can remember. Dropped numerous times on cement or other floors with no issues

Try to limit how much news/social media I consume, especially the really dark stuff. Then I spend a lot of time finding good things that I love watching (cute animals, reno videos ect). It’s a lot of self-preservation because a ton of news is super depressing and rage inducing, keeping a balance between not being totally ignorant but not wanting to ruin my mental health is key

If you are really interested, Cecelia Blomdhal (spelling may be slightly off) is a youtuber who lives there and shares all kinds of interesting stuff and gorgeous scenery. You can visit without having to brave the cold and polar bears that way

I follow a youtuber who lives there, and Svalbard is really pricey. Food and anything else consumer goods wise as anything has to be flown in or paid to ship via freight ship. Also, housing is extremely limited, and it’s hard to find without a job already secured, which may or may not be easy to get depending on who is looking

Greedy pigs, they can’t help themselves anymore. I swear it went up 20 or 30% in the last year or two, and now this. Does anyone have recommendations on where to find stuff if you are tech stupid with no computer (only a Roku TV and android phone)?

A few too many sadly, the people following the self proclaimed queen of canada and her followers are a crazy bunch. Although they may be a bit closer to Q cultists with a sprinkle of sovereign craziness

Yeah, it’s a bit bleak at the end for sure. But I just loved how catchy the songs were, and the cast was really great. I didn’t know anything before randomly playing it on Netflix, so that didn’t give me any expectations going in

Anna and the appolypse, it’s a fantastic zombie musical with insanely good songs. I have never met anyone in the real world or online who have heard of it (except a few who I forced to watch with me).

Sorry, I tried to think of a better one but could figure out how to phrase it without sounding stupid or rambling

Really, that would be amazing if you are serious!

Trader Joe’s seasonal reusabke mystery bags

Trader joes reusable seasonal mystery bags, I know it’s a bit silly, but they haven’t done them for a few years and are selling them now. My family love TJs and their reusable bags
