My brain needs to chill out.

I watched a video complaining about all the rising food costs in the #usa and noticed the person complaining was really big.

Then immediately thought - "Well maybe the rising food costs are a good thing for the 73% of Americans who are obese or overweight." Then horror laughed to myself for a few minutes.

I do think it's a bad thing, especially for poor families.

But maybe MONEY will finally solve the #obesity issue. Replace it with STARVATION!

Passions and the fires 🔥 that Mars starts (projects, lovers, fights) are putting pressure on our soul wounds, our deepest insecurities and traumas (Mars square Chiron), causing us to feel insecure, unsure of the future, and say things we would normally keep to ourselves if color heads prevailed (Mercury in Aries ♈️ conjunct Neptune in Pisces ♓️ in the cusp, meeting at the gate)

Jupiter, however, is now is the time to expand our facts, deep dives, and special interests info fiery action toward our fortunes. (Jupiter in Gemini ♊️ sextile Fortuna in Aries ♈️) Now is the time to start that side hustle or while new business based on your hoard of facts and interests!

The balance of elements is heavily skewed toward Cardinal Fire🔥(6) and Mutable Water💧(4); Passions and emotions are running high as boundaries around communication and dreams/future dissolve, creating drama that will press on our deepest wounds.

Find the eye of the storm and sit there in quiet contemplation 🧘🏻 while this storm rolls through. Also, make sure you have all your emotional regulation strategies at the ready, and a box of tissues. 😬😢🤧

Hot take: the Metric System is bad compared to the Imperial system because it is based off of base 10.

Seriously.

The prime divisors of 10 are 2 and 5. People routinely divide quantities in half all the time, but when was the last time you divided something into fifths? Hell, dividing something into *thirds* is far more common, and metric forces you to use a frikking repeating decimal!

Imperial, for all its warts, is set up for halves, thirds, fourths, etc much more conveniently.

Telus shouldn’t be in the business of healthcare in Canada.

Yes, virtual appointments are incredibly convenient and accessible, and I use them when I’m unable to physically sit in a walk-in clinic for half an afternoon.

BUT - having a telecommunications company involved in Canadian healthcare is bad any way you slice it.

Vancouver Island had better snow removal than Edmonton.

Yeah, I said it. #HotTake 🔥 🔥

(Also in before anyone says VanIsle doesn’t get snow - yes, we very much got snow. Especially at elevation.)

They’ve been plowing for days now to remove a shit ton of ice on the roads where we live … if it had been properly maintained all winter, they wouldn’t need to do this right now - yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Heart was the most powerful ring from Captain Planet, but Gaia knew that only Ma-Ti was mentally strong enough to never abuse it.

It allows one to change the heart and mind of an individual.

Imagine that power in the wrong hands. It could be used to manipulate anyone. It's effectively an OP charm ring that could allow you to manipulate your way into taking over the world.

However, Ma-Ti would never. He knew how to be humble and understood the gravity and power of the ring.
