I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

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

It's literally never been more important.

The narrative that we are being sold that our children's safety is somehow threatened by trans people participating in all aspects of public life as their authentic selves is the exact same bullshit that was peddled about queer folks 30 years ago. It was a lie then and it's a lie now.

Tomorrow is Talk Like a Pirate Day. In 2018 we created a series of short films to give legal advice in pirate character. It was revolutionary and transformational.
A documentary filmmaker has now made a film, debut is tomorrow, called Pirate Land, the true story.

I had a dream last night that a judge pulled me aside and told me she wanted me to make a social media post explaining that there is no catch and release system, and prioritizing in-custody matters over out-of-custody matters was what caused the perception. It made perfect sense in the dream.

Our nation is in a very bad place right now. I hope at the very least, other nations look at what we're doing to ourselves and learn from the mistakes we're making. Focus on taxing wealth and meeting basic needs. Reduce inequality. Welcome immigrants as workers, spenders, and human beings.

Be kind.

It’s Canada Day and I’m on the ferry headed to Victoria with a truck loaded with spirits.
Trade wars have winners and losers. Our newest product, Sour Goose, has been a real winner since we quietly rolled it out a few weeks back.
It’s so popular on the Island. 2nd truck delivering.

Our distributor on the Island told us that liquor stores wanted a replacement for a U.S. product. Chief distiller Juan said we could do better. Now Sour Goose is flying off the shelves (flying). We’ve hired more staff and we’re increasing production.
Sour Goose is so delicious.
