Restoration project: My everyday carry folding knife, I replaced the scales, cleaned 45 years of crud out of it, "sharpened" the screwdriver. Haven't decided what to do with the hinge end, if anything.

My interpretation of a Nakiri knife made from a repurposed Lawnmower blade keeping the scars from its previous life as a reminder to not erase our past as we reinvent ourselves.

A Facebook memory from 2012. The chosen words to describe the group has changed, the sentiment hasn't.
Black text on white background saying "In the same way that you don't have to be an animal to support animal rights, you don't have to be gay to support gay rights."

Photo of white text on a green background with the Green Party of Canada logo that says: Statement from Elizabeth May, Leader of the Green Party of Canada. The only way for Canadians to know that the official opposition has not be compromised through foreign interference is for its leader to seek and obtain top secret clearance. I have urged him to do so since June 2024. With greater urgency, I urge him to do so now. Pierre Poilievre is the only person in a position to clear the air about the Conservative Party and any potential favours owed to foreign interests.
