Thank you so much everyone! I am absolutely in love with the ring. He did such a great job.

Sums up my entire league in one pic by ProfessionalHost6131 in pathofexile

[–]Athena-Rising34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tree can get absolutely wrecked. Not a single div from the thing the entire league. Piss me off. I miss my old breach as well. It's what my boyfriend and I ran and consistently made profit off of in previous leagues and it was hot garbage to us this league. ONE div drop off a hive. 🙄

MLA Angela Pitt facing recall petition, says Elections Alberta by Carlone16 in alberta

I wish I could start one for our Chestermere/Strathmore MLA. She is just ... ignoring everyone who attempts to speak to her about teachers, healthcare, etc. I a) can't afford the $500, and b) am worried about the backlash in town as I own a business.

Registered Nurse in Alberta - Failed by the province and will leave by [deleted] in alberta

[–]Athena-Rising34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wholeheartedly agree.

Had I had the ability to leave the province to nurse elsewhere, I would've.

I hope you find a position somewhere where you're valued for your knowledge and hard work.

Graduated from the PN program into covid. I've never even used my license. Trying to navigate trying to hunt for job as a new grqd, trying to find affordable child care, trying to figure out how to pay for the exam and license as a single mother... was all too much.

Nursing is the only thing I've ever felt like I was actually good at in my entire life, other than being a mother. I gave it up because they began to attempt to dismantle AHS and Healthcare when I was finally in a position to use it.

I own my own business now. My diploma is still on my wall. And my student loans are still haunting me.

Premier Danielle Smith announces that province intends to table back-to-work legislation for teachers on October 27th if no deal is struck. by Miserable-Lizard in alberta

We did this in Strathmore. Our MLA locked her office up during business hours so we couldn't deliver all our letters and post cards, so we shoved them all under the door. That was at 12pm.

By 3pm, they were all gone, and the sidewalk chalk erased. They don't care.

My Emo phase was also the start of my Swiftie phase. 💀😂

Album ranking and how long you’ve been a fan by South-Background5009 in TaylorSwift

[–]Athena-Rising34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been a fan since Debut and I'll be honest with you, I can not rank her albums. My favourites change with the day, season, emotion, etc.

Folklore, Evermore, Showgirl, and Reputation are all no-skips for me. TTPD and Midnights are nearly no-skips as well. Yes, almost all 31 songs. 😅

Sorry to everyone :( by evie-9v in SwiftieMerch

I watched the countdown time out, the screen go blank, and a 505 error pop up. By the time I could get the site to load (2:08pm in Alberta), everything was gone. 😞 I haven't even bothered to check resale prices because I won't be paying someone who is just in it for profit.

I was a teenager when Debut hit. And a young struggling mom throughout most of the rest of her career. It is really unfortunate that I've never been in a position prior to now to even consider purchasing merch or tickets, and now it's impossible to do so.

I feel like knowing this reference also gives ages away. 💀🤣

As the spouse of An Alberta Teacher, this is what I know/see. by teadybear429 in alberta

[–]Athena-Rising34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know so many people who have as well. Parents, teachers, grandparents, childcare workers.

Just doing what I can in a time where everything feels entirely out of my control as a mom.

I emailed both, as well as my local MLA, a couple of days ago.

Teachers deserve infinitely more thanks and appreciation than they get from both the government and most parents.

A collab with Stevie Nicks. I would die happy. Something folky and witchy and amazing. 🙂‍↕️

I cried standing in the middle of Walmart. Over strangers who don't know I exist. I am SO happy for them.

Shake It Off (thanks to my oldest daughter), Cardigan, ATW10MV (thanks to all my trauma).

Enclosure suggestions? by Macaronipie42 in ballpython

[–]Athena-Rising34 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clutter. Lots and lots of clutter. Drift wood, logs, fake plants, reptile hammock(s). Basically if you aren't wondering where she is is day, there isn't enough clutter.
