What’s really wild is that in the 6 years I’ve lived in Nanaimo it’s gone from Green, to NDP, to now projected for Cons.

I saw that job post this morning and laughed. Arts spaces are challenging to run but this is not the way.

Yup, it’s dumb as hell. But also means artists don’t have to rely on gate-keepers, galleries, and luck for success so 🤷‍♀️

I used to tell artists that they should spend 50% of their time making art and the rest is admin and social media. That was at least 8 years ago. Now would def be less time making art.

I read a lot in 2024. Nearly 100 books. I’m very thankful for the library otherwise this wouldn’t have been possible. Here’s the rest of the list (2/2)

And yes budget really limits! That balance of enough food & £/$ is 😬

I’ve seen some folks using ChatGPT for meal planning for themselves but it seems more challenging for groups.

If in doubt, and you have kitchen access, the Food Not Bombs cookbook is great for feeding large groups on a budget.

I usually look at how much 4 people eat then multiply out. Add more for lunch/dinner because (in Canada/US at least) people may not pre-eat if it’s meal time — especially dinner. And as you probably know, more vegetarian/vegan options since meat eaters will also eat veg but opposite not true.
