Ever have a project that's clear in your head - but impossible to explain to others?

Oh dude. It can all feel overwhelming.

That's coz it's not just editing...

It's reframing.

It's untangling.

It's seeing the big picture.

I know I'm not the only one here... (right? RIGHT??)

You know what you can do when feeling useless & despondent?

Create. Respond artistically. For the sake of it, and to connect with others.

Seriously my dudes.

#cdnpoli “Of the four territories Mr. Trump has discussed acquiring — Greenland, the Panama Canal, Canada and Gaza — it is Greenland that he seems most determined to get.” You’d think a senior NYTimes reporter wd know better than to describe Canada as a “territory.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...
Visiting Greenland, Vance Finds the Weather and the Reception Chilly
The trip was both a reconnaissance mission and a passive-aggressive reminder of President Trump’s determination to fulfill his territorial ambitions, no matter the obstacles.

Every time I wear this skirt, I am baffled by the tag.

Is it telling me it's not reflective material? Is it telling me not to run in traffic? Is it telling me not to hit someone with my car? Is it telling me there is no escape from the endless hell we live in?

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

One of the reasons why the "51st State" 💩 bothers me so much is that whether it's all talk or not, it's pulling attention and energy away from big, important Canadian issues - such as the epidemic of femicide.

I've taken this training and it's TERRIFIC. I took it again with my teenagers, and we had a great discussion after. I think they were relieved to have access to language to frame what they were experiencing and witnessing, and options for action.

I HIGHLY recommend!!
