Boo, just found out that the artist who did my fern tattoo, Rhonda Mulder, passed away suddenly. She was young and a mom to young kids. :(

Just sharpened a batch of 15-yr-old coloured pencil hand-me-downs and wow, based on rate of lead breakage the Laurentians were way better quality than the Crayolas. RIP Laurentians! 💔

Also wall sharpeners are perennially satisfying to use. 😁

Defend public libraries at all costs
In the wake of the 5th Estate documentary about the political operatives attacking Valleyview, Alberta's library, local residents turned up for tonight's 5 pm town council meeting. It's a fully packed house. The outcry on social media over the weekend has turned into real action.

Redid the dining area to fit a bigger storage piece from Dad's. This eastlake rolltop hutch was refinished by him, and served as a storage unit in his temporary upstairs workshop ("future" master bedroom) for the past 20 years. 😏

It now holds our tea, kitchen linens, games, and art supplies. ❤

who among us has never attempted to pivot our giant badly run boomer sneaker ad empire into a lazy ploy to dominate all virtual spaces, failed utterly, set billions on fire, blamed and fired thousands of employees for our own fuck up, then got a perm and began sucking up to nazis

America may be on fire right now but it's still Imbolg and I'm finding peace and hope in faith for once in my life. If you need some of that yourself, here's a prayer to Brigid I just wrote (also useable by Catholics, or really anyone). #Pagan #Poetry #PaganSky

Hello fellow weirdos on BlueSky! I am bumbling my way around, part of the increasing exodus from the m3taverse.

It's a stressful time! I'm job hunting, managing my father's estate (today is one month since his death) with my sisters, and trying to hunker down for the worsening political climate.
