something cute about vancouver is when people stream out of the bus at the end of the line and it's a sweet and uneven chorus of thank you!s to the bus driver :')

Simple and refreshing question from a gr.12 student yesterday, worth pondering: how do you feel before writing a poem, and how do you feel after?

we also commissioned @apricotjoy.bsky.social to make illustrations of a bunch of native plants in our community garden, I helped put together these labels with the word for each plant in the two most commonly spoken Indigenous languages in this area, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim and hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓
Illustrated labels of 8 different native plants, with their names written in multiple languages including Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim, hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, Latin, and English.

this has been a very busy season of my life (day job, working on my PB, working on a book pitch, MOVING!), so no time for a brand new kid lit art illo... but I repurposed one of my sticker designs from last year into a postcard and I'm very happy with it!! 🙂‍↕️😌✨🪽
