For anyone new to Mastodon this week - welcome! I am Senator Paula Simons. I am a Canadian Senator, who represents the western province of Alberta. Like most of my Senate colleagues I am independent and non-partisan, and I belong to no political party. Follow me for an insider’s perspective on the Senate and Canadian politics in general. #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #Canada #introduction #Senate #Alberta #abpoli #Edmonton #yeg

there are a pair of neighborhood crows nesting in my back yard. today, one of them found a dry old piece of bread somewhere down the alley and flew over to my lawn with it.
she looked around carefully and dropped it into the eavestrough drain, where some water pooled from an overnight shower.
she flew away for 5 minutes and just came back to eat once it was well soaked 😆
Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel, is a brilliant, poignant queer coming-of-age story, a literary classic that was later turned into a Tony-Award-winning musical. It's a graphic - only in the sense that it's a graphic novel, or rather, a memoir. But it's not porn. It's not titillating. Moral panics like this make us look absurd. https://calgaryherald.com/news/local-news/extremely-graphic-sexual-content-found-in-books-at-k-9-schools-province-says #abed #abpoli #ableg #Alberta #yeg #yyc
May 22: #seoul to #YEG
My last day in Seoul. I had an evening flight and arrived home the same day, flying against time. I wanted to visit the Blue House, home of the Korean president. I faithfully followed my Naver directions and wound up at this apartment building in hilly Mapo. Decided to return to my guesthouse and area. I ate Japanese at a location from #WhenThePhoneRings
I left early for Incheon and slept solidly for most of my flight then again at home. Good to be back.
