I was supposed to be on vacation but got the flu instead ✌️ So I’m painting self indulgent lily pad ladies to cope

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

Me, taking the day off because I am McCursed with an illness I have yet to shake: Hm, I’m in the “oh woe is me I’m so lonely & useless & stuck inside” zone, I should go get some sunlight and fresh air on this peaceful morning. The humble gas-powered leaf blower: Allow me to introduce myself.

do I really have the energy for another round of 'why the Easter elements you think are pagan aren't, and why a load of Easter elements most people haven't even heard of probably are'

Welcome to America, where the gutter repair guy can casually find a bullet lodged in your roof and not freak out at all because this is a pretty frequent thing for him.
