I was blown away watching @_aysanabee_ play at @ReginaFolkFest’s concert the other night. Incredible performance, such rich stories in his music. Since I was in the 3rd row I watched from up close and I can’t stop wondering if he has Robbie Robertson’s bronze Stratocaster.

It’s my budget season & Im shocked how much more money I have to spend on pain killers since entering perimenopause. People who menstruate spend ridiculously high amounts of money on health care stuff that isn’t supported by this “free health care” bullshit #SkHealth#Pharmacare
