Day 3 of #FolktaleWeek25 prompt is rain. My hand-carved, hand-printed lino block print of the well-known, ancient Chinese folktale of the magpie bridge linking the lovers, The Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, separated by a great river, which is the Milky Way, is printed on lovely Japanese paper. 🧵

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

One of a pack of coyotes I met the other morning while out on the kayak. This one kept a close eye on me from it perch on the cliffs. #mammals 🌿

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?
How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada.
"Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

I AM surprised I exist...
I like to think of "cryptid" as a subjective term.
So long as YOU are surprised that a creature exists, I think it counts as a cryptid.

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

A little #scicomm in the garden: you might remember I repurposed one of the prints I was working on for #ManufacturedEcosystems for a local pollinator garden. It’s now up, with its hand-printed collection of native bees and message in amongst the pollinators in the garden. 🧪🐡🧵

People stigmatize the unhoused most unhoused people are survivors—of eviction, domestic violence, medical debt, systemic racism, or broken safety nets. Many work, many are disabled, many are veterans. The problem isn’t moral failure—it’s policy failure, economic cruelty, and social abandonment.

Enjoy this lucky mink and elegant swan in the Humber for #CanadianRiversDay
Most excited that during our recent paddle on the Humber, not long after going under the subway bridge a mink swam by with a large crayfish for lunch!
One minute you feel like you’re in the city, the next it’s hinterland who’s who.
Never previously seen a mink in the wild! 🌿🐡

A piece for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination about who decides what gets pollinated if humans and our devices are the only pollinators. 🐡🧪
The definition of “weed” is usually pretty arbitrary and usually all sorts of native plants get caught up in our human biases. 🧵

Yesterday was lovely & we went to Tommy Thompson Park on the Leslie spit and we saw river otters!
We sat down for a snack and to watch the birds and these two otters swam by and circled back to get a good look & got quite close to us. Apparently they are shortsighted.
Never seen them so close!

Sometimes things don’t go as planned but, you make a new plan. Working on my (bee propaganda) next print about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems, I dropped my inked plate with the text & slipped - after printing 9 bees. 😔 I was pretty frustrated, but I started again. 🧪🐡🦋🧵
