It's been some time, but I'm back with a new addition to my 'elvish designs' series. Thrilled to add a moth to the collection as they're some of my favourite insects. #moth

Haven’t been around much because the world and social media have been bumming me out. But here’s Hilda wearing a scarf like a proper cat.

Was asked by a boomer last night why I was so cynical.
It's only cynicism, I told her, if it's not actually happening.
Otherwise it's just paying attention.
If the rule you live by is, "I don't want to hear anything but unfounded optimism," it is little wonder the world is in the state it is.

This summer’s garden pests have included (and continue to include): aphids, spider mites, mushrooms, and wasps. I really wasn’t expecting this much commotion on a high rise building balcony. Surely, powdery mildew is just around the corner, along with stink bugs.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre comes wants to make sure everyone knows he's a full blown transphobe, in case there was any doubt.
He even included a shout out to JK Rowling. This hate should be disqualifying from any politician.

However, as per the article:
Rene said he’s not angry at striking flight attendants, adding: “I studied labor relations and employment relations. I understand what’s happening.”
He just wishes Air Canada was doing more for impacted passengers.

EXCLUSIVE: BC Lions player misses grandma’s funeral after cancelled Air Canada flight
BC Lions defensive back Patrice Rene was very close to his late-grandmother Carmen Cange. On Monday, a cancelled flight meant he missed the family matriarch's funeral and wasn't there to comfort his grieving mother.
