My doomscrolling has led me down some dark algorithmic rabbit holes. Dammit, I need more cat pictures! (and more stories about literature) (and cute doggies too. Doggies are OK.)

At the NATO meeting a loud US republican saw my CDN flag pin on my lapel and reached for it saying, "Hey Canada." I stopped him. "Don't touch the Canadian flag." "Just joking," he said. "You'll die before you touch our flag," I said, "not joking." He scrambled out of there. #notfuckingaround

Pepper did not jump into my arms when I got home after a long weekend away, but he did wake up. Within a few minutes, he was swatting at me, and then soon he was rubbing his little wet nose all over me and purring loudly I love the fuzzy little guy. 🌶️ 🐈‍⬛ 🖤

Pepper would like to quote the Quakers Our truth is an ancient one: that love endures and overcomes; that hate destroys; that what is obtained by love is retained, but what is obtained by hatred proves a burden. 🌶️ 🐈‍⬛ 🖤

Pepper is mad that I got back from my physio appointment late, so apparently he’s going to just sit on the couch and ignore me and my attempts to pet him. 🌶️ 🐈‍⬛ 😾

Back when the orange demagogue was first elected I turned down an American artist residency and an arts council travel grant. It was my personal protest against myopic discriminatory conservatism. Now it’s every progressive artist’s obligation to speak out against repression and authoritarianism

We had a few inches of snow overnight here in Toronto and tonight’s sunset is quite pretty. There’s a waxing gibbous moon hiding in the east. My injured right arm is now strong enough to hold a smartphone. Big fancy camera comes next, after some physiotherapy.
