Is it abstract? Maybe. Yet it is so clearly icebergs. Glowing with that colour ice has. National Gallery of Canada continues to nourish my soul.

Hunger is a choice. This is Julia Turshen talking about the U.S. but it’s also true for Canada.
In Ottawa there’s a community fridge at 415 McLaren Street.
The Ottawa Food Bank recently got a 2.5 million dollar donation - largest ever in their 40 year history. This is not cause for celebration.

How it’s going.
Of course making homemade cornbread means that then you’re home alone with the cornbread. I have solved this by eating it all.

The other piece was this extraordinary sculpture. This is not a great photo as I am incapable of taking a good photo and the piece was behind glass further complicating things. It is carved antlers and I really suggest zooming in to see the intricacy of the work. Inuk artist Jacoposie Oopakak.

The first was a video installation. 6 screens playing simultaneously. 19 minutes long. The first piece I’ve seen that addresses the last 6 years we’ve been living through. Torvill and Dean, George Floyd, BLM, moonlight sonata, surveillance capitalism, Covid, and more. Ottawa - go see it.

Garden closed for the season. Loved every second of it even through this summer’s prolonged drought. Scratched in some compost for next year’s adventures.

Apple Cake. Recipe emailed to me in 2000. My Mom thinks I use olive oil for everything. Also Tarte Tatin but I have the yips as last time it didn’t turn out great.

There has to be joy. Today’s joy was a visit to the National Gallery of Canada. First saw this artist’s work in 2006 and I still think about that exhibit. Saw this today and took the pic before I knew who the artist was. Can’t explain but when I saw it was Brian Jungen I was like - well obviously.

I so enjoy your approach to life. Miss Glasgow so I get a taste through your posts. Inspired me to bullet journal (I make the rules - not the insane YouTube girlies). It takes tremendous courage to be vulnerable.
Sadly I didn’t note artist of piece but it is awesome.

Today on our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation I’m thinking about the community of Grassy Narrows. Living an ongoing struggle with mercury poisoning. There is no reconciliation without truth and there is no truth without justice.

The best thing you can do for yourself today is put the phone down, go for a walk, and say good morning to everyone you meet. Build community where you are.

Herbalist here. Let’s talk about this picture. This is a screenshot I took from someone “experimenting“. This experiment is over and this tincture - if it’s even worthy of the name - is useless. Why? Let’s go.
1. Not all the herb material is submerged in the liquid. This means it’s rotting.

Divorce your feelings from your actions. When things are bad (they are) people feel sad, angry, scared. We feel how we feel. Take some deep breaths and set your feelings to the side. Just for the moment. What action can you take? If my feelings immobilize me how can I fight to make things better?

I started following @delilahsdawson.bsky.social and then started to troll different library branches. It is my special good fortune that this branch had this book. I’ll never thread an embroidery needle in quite the same way. If you love horror get it. Book to book lover, and all bc of social media.

Yes everything is terrible but I have a garden and it is and has been bringing me so much joy.
