A Taste for Life, happening today. Great local restaurants for an important cause. Looking forward to some Railyard time, tonight. Consider taking part. atasteforlife.org/peterborough/

Three librarians face layoffs at the Peterborough Public Library as the city moves forward with cost-cutting measures. The city says services won't be impacted, but the library union disagrees. Here's our report on what's happening at your public library ⤵️ peterboroughcurrents.ca/news/peterbo...

A big shift in the #Peterborough arts scene. I worked with both Ryan & Kate, they are the brightest of lights. kawarthanow.com/2025/04/15/t...

Hellbox roar! My letterpress voice. Another couplet from my poem Inside Voice. Broadside printed in black, opaque white, and metallic gold. #letterpress #design #typography #typehigh #type

that's a good one. Beaver Lumber was Peterborough based.

Can't wait for tonight

Congratulations to CNN for the most accurate headline of the day.

Don't know "weather" to laugh or cry? It's been a challenging time lately, and community has really come together. Let's laugh together, listen to beautiful music together and step into spring together. Chris Hall and the Comic Quartet on Sunday, Tickets: performingartslakefield.org/tickets/

ok, cleaned my fridge and pitched for the second time in less than two years. derecho then ice storm outages. FYI, once again, i've squeezed the contents out of a lot of various packets i'll never use, but held onto cause.... So, no more fridge detritus.

I don't know you but I am POSITIVE your April Fool's Day joke is not as funny as you think it is.

Paid my rent, staying another month 👌✨️

Power back

Main roads?

River and landscape underpainted in silver, cold hydrangeas, muted blue and green, glass glazed forest produces a subtle shiver, breaking hard, late winter's spleen.

Recent adds. Iron Horse is a Coach House release.

Hopefully as staff are already in pre-budget discussions for next year, we can read the room — and save the fight that has happened year-after-year to save the arts and community groups from any drastic cuts….
