An antidote to facism is more community.

There are 195 countries on earth.

The sparrows soared into the sky through the clover forest. What a vast sky! #Illustration #CommentPls #RTpls

Canada, let’s go FULL Carney! Tell everyone you know to vote, don’t throw it away, every vote counts 💪🏻🍁 #ViveLeCanada

To quiet her mind before trying to go to sleep, my 10-year-old has been drawing a pile of cats--adding one new cat every night. ❤️🐈‍⬛️🐈

TW: suicide Knocking doors can be heartbreaking. Today I met a woman surviving on disability benefits, grieving a neighbour who took their own life just two weeks ago, while wealth and luxury grow all around her. This incredible city can’t just be for the rich. Vancouver needs to be for everyone.

While investigating Nike’s claims about sustainability, I started collecting paystubs from its suppliers. It’s been almost 27 years since Phil Knight acknowledged that Nike products had become synonymous with “slave wages.” I wanted to know what people in Asia earned producing Nike apparel. (thread)

I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The birds are really making music this arvo!

Maybe I should rename Lorenzo the cat to Doormat as he loves hanging out on the doorstep. Some Honesty plants in bloom amongst the Tulips in the morning before the sun hits the porch 😀

A good question to ask oneself at the start of each day, imho. Comrade card for 7/26/2024.

The way Bukele was treated in the oval vs. Zelenskyy is all you need to know.

I have this radical lefty belief that voting should be easier than buying a gun.

During this week in 1815, eruptions began at Mount Tambora in Indonesia. It culminated in the most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded human history that lowered global temperatures in 1816. This is the story of Canada's Year Without A Summer 🧵1/12

The wind in the trees sounds like water flowing, there seems to be blue sky and sun blessing us this arvo. Cracked open some wine with supper on the wood stove and the man of the house has put on the tunes!

Looking for brightness in this perpetual rain. Last picture two deer in the distance sitting while it pours!

I like this shock of yellow!

A shorter version of my thread: for chrissakes can we pay attention to what fascism does instead of what it says? No, Trump isn’t trying stupidly and failing to revive U.S. industry. He’s trying quite effectively to burn it down so he can rule the ashes. Seriously. That’s the plan.

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

I’ve been seeing a lot of woodpeckers on my walks these days. I have no pictures to prove it though 😊

Albert Camus – the second youngest Nobel laureate of all time – was 46 when he died in a car crash, an unused train ticket to the same destination in his pocket, having lived with three antidotes to the absurdity of life

Odilon Redon. Stained Glass Window (The Mysterious Garden). 1905.

Anyway, let people like Danielle Smith and Preston Manning expose themselves for what they are: selfish, petty pro-MAGA ideologues, more interested in pursuing a narrow vision that sees Alberta as little more than the oil industry. Most Albertans are better than that.

There’s a mass exodus from AirBnB to VRBO because of a co-founder & board member’s ties to the Heritage Foundation, Project 25, Tesla, and DOGE… Act accordingly. ✨

A lament of sorts, which is how I feel these days, as if I've lost something or maybe we all have in these current times! youtu.be/B3OEofsCur8

I think that this superb parrot chick is objectively 25/10 adorable I can’t even with its face fluff

What I will say is that I don’t trust the judgement of anyone who doesn’t recognize what is happening as an escalation and an escalation where people are being harmed and are going to be harmed

Tonight I arrived home on the evening ferry in daylight. You have to know how wonderful that felt. Darkness is really felt on these small islands without the light pollution of the city!
