  Finally got around to getting a mammogram. The process was physically uncomfortable, but the technician was cool and let me see the images. And I definitely don't have cancer (at least in this one particular part of my body they looked at), so that's a plus too. #mammogram #womensHealth #preventativeMedicine

  This is one of my first season milkweeds. I foraged the seeds from a nearby plant and got them going indoors and everything. This one in particular got eaten to the ground twice. Both times, it came back as twice as many plants. One thing I've been learning this year through gardening is that plants are incredible. They have their limits (our sunflowers didn't recover from being repeatedly chomped), but some of them really spring back. #milkweed #nativePlants #gardening

  How fitting that the day after Carney officially abandons the previous climate change policies, Canada Day celebrations are canceled in Ottawa due to flooding. It's almost like physics doesn't care how hard it is to address climate change. #cdnpoli #climateChange

  Pokeweed or no? I didn't plant anything exactly here, but I accept some volunteers. It's crowding out some plants I do want and I don't think I want poisonous plants in my garden, even if they are native and beneficial otherwise because I have a child and it's also overcrowding a few things I did plant. It's coming up as a 38% chance match for pokeweed on PlantNet with a drop off after that. #gardening #nativePlants

  It's funny seeing so many Earth Day sales. Needless consumption is the opposite of supporting the environment. You don't need to buy anything to celebrate Earth Day. The first "R" in the three Rs is Reduce. Reduce the things you buy. Reuse, repair and refurbish the things you already have. Not just on Earth Day, but every day. #earthDay #anticonsumerism #environment

  So I guess the question I have is whether anyone actually agreed on the ceasefire terms in the first place or whether Trump and the administration is just lying about what they agreed to and they're changing their story? I feel like what happened is that Trump made a threat that was too far (genocide is an obvious war crime, the military might not do it) and didn't want to have to carry it out, so he agreed to whatever Iran wanted in the moment and is now trying to walk it back....

  @JoshuaACNewman@xeno.glyphpress.com to be fair, the video does suggest that it might have happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_6kGluvINg Especially if you look at the faces of the people behind him. @praetor@mstdn.social
