This might be a good time to switch your subscription dollars to a locally owned independent publication.
A U.S. hedge fund owns most of the newspapers in Canada.

It’s a privilege to be able to boycott things like foods so don’t be cranky at people when they are buying things. Maybe it’s the only food their picky kid will eat and the daily fight is breaking the parents down

Nova Scotia is clearing American alcohol off their shelves by Feb 4. One of my friends said as a "drinking province", we'll hit 'em where it hurts. Nova Scotia has great local wines, spirits, and beer - so easy to support local in this area!

This is what the naz*s did.
This is a 5 alarm fire. They're going to pull down all publicly available data, studies, guidance, etc that involves LGBTQ people so when the worst happens to us, no one will know. They're actively trying to erase us.

Work from home day means work with cats day. Yes I am covered in fur. This is Turkey, one of the cats we fondly refer to as the toddlers.

So Olands Breeery hosted Pollievre this weekend for a photo op? 🤮 (puts case of Olands back on the shelf and opts for Propeller Galaxy, instead)….

I don't know if anyone is still on tiktok, but watching Hillmantok University grow has been incredible. Thanks to the amazing Dr Barlowe who started a movement by accident. People are thriving to learn. As a white person it's an honour to shut up & listen to these amazing Black educators.

I used to work for a tech company where some of my coworkers supported me by also putting their pronouns in their Slack names. One of the CEOs said it was too busy & made everyone take them out. I will forever post my pronouns, even if you don't want to address me as such, because I know who I am.

My partner travelled to Utah for work & I sent him on a side mission to Beauty Lab + Laser just to get a pic. Not only did they get a pic, they brought me back a t-shirt & Heather Gays business card! I'm gonna frame it. 😭 #bravo #rhoslc

After grad school I was weary & burnt out about the institutionalization of art. In the last few years I've been trying to find the joy in making again. I made a little painting (4"x5") for Argyle Fine Art's PreShrunk show, "Smile While It's Free".

tl;dr: I'm painting again, yay!
