@fredcityandy Someone stole my mixing bowls I had the treats in (I had a migraine and wasn't up to interacting so I out snacks on the steps), but otherwise no.

In the grand scheme if having to drop $20 on new metal mixing bowls is the worst I get for Halloween pranks, I'm happy.

@fredcityandy On a related note: if at a light you're approaching and signalling a right turn or displaying no signal and I want to turn left, you have right of way if I can't complete a left turn by the time you'd get there. I will behave accordingly.

So DON'T STOP.

@nbfunnyman @fredcityandy @CityFredGov I've called the city more than a few times about bus drivers cutting me off or driving me off the road on my bicycle (after overtaking me so it's not like I was riding badly) with no apparent improvement.

If we can aim to be even a tenth of the positive presence she was in my life on those around us, it will be a life well-lived.

An excerpt of my eulogy for my grandma, shared in her honor:

I will always remember her spirit of unconditional love and acceptance, kindness and generosity. Her legacy lives on in everyone here and those not here whose lives she touched. 1/2

@DrJacobsRad What's the public need to know they're separated? Unless it's due to reasons that have bearing on the fitness for office, there isn't one.

[Sarah Ackermann @SarahAckermann]

@DrJacobsRad Tbh, I don't know why this is news. Family of public figures should IMO be off limits. It's none of our business, and politicians' kids and relatives should have the same privacy as any other private figures.

[Sarah Ackermann @SarahAckermann]

@JadenFitz Hard same. It's why I moved to the city.

Well, that and I was sick of going out for a run and when I got home having my parents ask me about 5 different wild stories people had concocted about me. Rural rumor mill moves at like Mach 5.

My grandmother died earlier this week. She was the kindest and most nurturing woman I've ever known.

Love you and miss you, Grammie.

I will be taking an internet hiatus for a while.

[Sarah Ackermann @SarahAckermann]

@JadenFitz I'll just say: my high school made sex Ed optional when I attended due to a large number of parents with religious objections.

A lot of my classmates ended up teen moms with "boyfriends" in their late 20s.

A lot of those girls had been excused from sex Ed.

@Gailey99 @premierbhiggs Sorry for blowing up your mentions with a rant, but I'm furious.

Thanks for the reminder, my monthly angry letter to the premier and my MLA over this bigoted nonsense is overdue, I need to add that to my to-do list for this week.

[Sarah Ackermann @SarahAckermann]

@Gailey99 @premierbhiggs What the hell is wrong with people?! Why can't we just live and let live? If you don't like the thought of being trans - bully for you! Be your gender assigned at birth and shut up. Trans people hurt NOBODY being who they are. Respect and compassion cost nothing and save lives.

[Sarah Ackermann @SarahAckermann]

@robhoadley In both cases I genuinely didn't know that the person I was speaking to was a celebrity. I'm pretty oblivious so it's entirely possible I've met more celebrities and never knew haha.

[Sarah Ackermann @SarahAckermann]

@robhoadley I also met a runaway duchess and her granddaughter while working at Sherbrooke village as a teenager. She was a hoot! And the granddaughter was terribly scandalized my her grandma's pervy jokes hahaha.

@RayDoesData @vivbastarache For the record: their invention of the concept of "Harper Derangement Syndrome" is third, after their rhetorical attacks on trans kids.

[Sarah Ackermann @SarahAckermann]

@RayDoesData @vivbastarache Yeaaah.

The fact that a huge chunk of the Reformacons think I, with my silly little lady-brain, voted Liberal for Trudeau's hair is the single best indicator of why they'll probably never be in the contention for my vote.
