@lemanriley.bsky.social some Canadian tool facts for you, and a number of well placed double entendres… ;)

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

This is super cool!

The 2026 Comox Valley International Film Festival (CVIFF) kicked off yesterday!!! Will be logging everything on boxd.it/8Gqe1 #FilmSky #Movies #Cinema #CVIFF

📣 Gridogram is a word game: find a hidden quote in the grid of letters. One of my daily brain puzzles after my morning coffee :)

Tuesday is Twin Peaks night and tonight is the final episode 29 of the original series, then we will watch the film. Damn fine coffee will be provided to accompany a slice of Cherry Pie at the break between series to film. #HomeBaking #CherryPie

This is a very interesting read, the idea of providing UBI has been around for a very long time!

Nope Nope #NoKings #Michigan

Why doesn’t Canada do this too?

Note to self, bookmark this website!

@lemanriley.bsky.social future Christmas card?

I was one of those kids who grew up with Sesame Street and the Electric Company. I remember this segment but had no idea until now that it was Grace Slick doing the vocals :)

Absolutely!!

Not only are our "leaders" chasing oil and denying climate change, they are also actively accelerating climate change with their wars & conflicts "War in the Middle East is draining the global carbon budget faster than 84 countries combined" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

I cannot stress this enough, if you have something you want to sell PLEASE state SOMEWHERE where said item is being shipped FROM and what the actual currency in your price is. Once again, Canada, US, New Zealand and Australia (just to name a few) all call their currency $ dollar.

@lemanriley.bsky.social another road trip stop when we drive to the east coast again :)

Also dragging yourself in whilst sick then risks infecting your coworkers. Just stay home and nip it in the bud, rather than coming in and end up being sick for longer and taking others down with you. And employers, stop penalising your workers for being sick - that doesn’t help!

I find this strangely therapeutic :)

Extremely thankful today to both the CAD Federal and BC Provincial governments as I picked up my HRT prescriptions at $0 cost :)

@lemanriley.bsky.social have you seen this?

YO-P1 is a stitch combo my brain refuses to learn. I knit continental holding working yarn in my left hand. Every time i get to this comb i end up wrapping the stitch one way, then think that doesn’t work, then wrap it the other way and think that doesn’t work, watch video again :( #knitsky 🧶

And there was much rejoicing :)

Accurate

Just one more example confirming FB is evil and leaving was a good idea.

Question for anyone out there who regularly takes the train to/from Kitchener/Toronto. Can you just rock up and get a ticket from a machine or is it imperative that you book a seat in advance? Also Go train vs VIA pros and cons. #CADTravel

Sputnik is always super keen to lend his support when we have Art Day in the house. #CatSky

I'm not saying that Canada is perfect, I'm saying that the bar is pretty low right now.

Signed!

There is something in my eye…

Thursday is #ArtDay in the house. Saw this design on a punch needle cushion a while back. #MakeArt

CEO salaries being justified on the ‘we need the best talent’. But I counter, shouldn’t we be looking for people with passion to do better/do the right thing/improve society. People whose sole motivation is money is why were are where we are right now. Tax wealth, implement UBI.

This morning our local Flicker was hammering on the chimney pipe his availability for love. Must be February :)

West coast winter.

This was a good analysis.

Its is #LetterboxdFriday for those who celebrate. Here are my #LastFourWatched Film details included in the ALT text #FilmSky #Movies #Streaming

The world outside of USA gets exactly what has been happening within the US just like Jonathan Pie explains so eloquently.👇👇👇

Any tapestry/wool needlepoint folks out there? What are your storage solutions for organizing all the colours for a specific project. I am currently using one envelope per colour skein but finding it too bulky and cumbersome. Ideas? #YarnSky #AllThingsYarn #StorageIdeas

@lemanriley.bsky.social do you know about this?

Smile for the day :)

We have our haggis, neeps and tatties at the ready. Just need to pick up a bottle of whisky and we’ll be set for tonight’s Burns Supper. #BurnsNight #BurnsSupper

Can we get something like this going in the Comox Valley? #MakeArtNotWar

Snort laughing, this is soooo funny !!!

Thursday is #ArtDay in the house. Current WIP is playing with Dollarama watercolours and channelling my inner Sonia Delaunay. Make Art Not War - Bob and Roberta Smith.

OK this is very concerning :(

RT if you’ve never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

Just in case someone out there has never heard of the Canadian band Sloan… Make sure you turn this up to 11 #CanadaSky #CanCon youtu.be/CMRbbeGuaF8?...
