I love books, yarn, beasties, movies, and pop culture. Left coast of Canada and so liberal I'm almost a communist, kidding, but definitely a socialist. 🇨🇦🍁🧶🐾

Had to put my horse to sleep 4 weeks ago and I am really sad. It's getting worse. (It has been an atrocious 15 months or so). Does anyone have any uplifting music, poems, stories, art they recommend? TIA #Grief

One of my best memories was watching Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at Bard in the Beach in Vancouver, it was in rotation with Hamlet. It was such a great production and the audience and the actors all had so much fun together that night. I'll treasure that. Thank you, Tom Stoppard.

Often when we follow a pattern for a project worked in the round, somewhere at the very beginning the pattern tells us to “join stitches for working in the round”, but in most cases, it doesn’t tell us how exactly to do that.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
