Absolutely do not rate the toilets over here. Shape of the pan? Wrong. Flush? Anemic, ineffective. Stalls? UNCOMFORTABLY exposed. You're heavily incentivised to be on your phone because otherwise you might make eye contact with someone. And dudes CHAT in there. PLS NO. #Canada #TravelSkeets

Merry Crimble, everyone #Banff #TravelSkeets

Hello from Skyrim, apparently #Canmore #TravelSkeets

Questionable branding decisions, Calgary edition: clothes store named "vivid beige" #Calgary #TravelSkeets

Made it to Vancouver. A moderately harrowing 22 hour transit in which the airlines had no gluten free food for me and zero sleep was had. Pro tip: catch a plane across the international date line, and from the summer hemisphere to winter, for your own personal groundhog day effect.

We haven't even left yet and I've already got separation anxiety. How am I going to cope without my Emotional Support Floof for 3+ weeks?? #MaineCoon #CatsOfBluesky

Can we really say we have universal healthcare if people can't afford the care/support they need to access *literal organ transplants*?? Please donate to help Ana if you can! #Disability #MutualAid gofund.me/6812af597

Found a new friend at a local market today (not my work- credit to artist Rosemary Adler) #Birb #Borb #NeedleFelting

Dogs gonna dog.

Good words, Ash.

My colleague yesterday: "Do you think it will rain much more this week?" Rain, overnight: hold my beer

Very wholesome Saturday. Community crop swap, bit of baking, bit of gardening, DnD with local friends, and an evening around a firepit making biochar. Good times :3

Have you ever thought about how dramatic whales are when they breach? And I don't mean "ooh wow how majestic." I mean that they all look like they're conducting an orchestra or singing opera or something. Those MFers are divas. #SillyCreatures #Scribbles #TraditionalArt

Nipaluna crew! Come visit me during my shift at the Artfully Queer exhibition today, in the Long Gallery at Salamanca Arts Centre :)

I can deal with a sudden change of plans. But then changing the change of plans back to the unchanged version REALLY throws me. #Dysregulated #Doodles #Drawing #TraditionalArt

I'd like to order one basket of floof, please. Lightly toasted. #MaineCoon #CatsOfBluesky

🥹🥹🥹 Sweet sweet external validationnnnn (I am legitimately proud of myself for this and the miniature version of my therapist in my head is telling me to own it) #ArtfullyQueer

I heard from the same friend that they secretly use Amazon offices too, right under Jeff's nose. Better raid them all just in case

😳

Exclusive* early drop for the BSky crew of my Artfully Queer 2025 entry. Title "I Wish You'd Let Us Love You" or, alternatively, "An Honest Portrait of Gerrit Kruijver". #TraditionalArt #ColourPencil #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtfullyQueer *lol

Our existence threatens the lies people are telling themselves. We've done the hard work to shatter our own illusions, and they're too scared to do that for themselves. That's why they get so angry. #TransLiberation

This is atrocious, but I wish it were unusual. The one time I needed airport mobility assistance, they put me on the baggage cart with the suitcases. Literal objectification. #DisabilityRights #NotLuggage

When I have conversations with people about issues like this, I ask this question: Would you rather that A) everyone who genuinely needs support gets it - but a few people take advantage, or B) punish a few bad people - at the cost of lots of people with genuine need having to go without?

I can't come up with a satisfactory concept for my Artfully Queer entry this year so I guess I'll just sit here and be cat furniture instead of drawing #CatsOfBluesky #MaineCoon #DrawingBlock

Today's highlight: watching several pairs of courting currawongs doing high-speed aerobatics. Spring has sprung, according to the birds.

I'm an atheist, hard materialist, and I try not to indulge in magical/superstitious thinking. But y'all, sometimes the universe does NOT make that easy.

This new project has strong potential to be scaled up and delivered in other land and cultural heritage management contexts.

A Nazi rally with people who aren't Nazis? But I thought... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s my birthday today! 🎈 I’d be delighted if people shared this around to help me celebrate turning 29 🎂 Also, hello to any art directors, my folio and contact info is in the replies 😉

Shock.* *Not remotely a shock to anyone who's been paying attention

This looks super cool! I've pre-ordered :3

Tonight's campfire powered by ghosts #WaterfallCorner #Fire

Thinking about gulls today.

We've reached the point where even Israel's own human rights groups are calling it genocide.

Medicinal ice cream!

Places I did not expect my day to go: sitting in an ancient, child-sized canoe painted with skulls-and-crossbones, fighting my way through a thick swamp of bullrushes that explode in clouds of fluff when I touch them, trying not to capsize into the stinking water (1/2)

WHO DOES THIS

Somehow I missed the news of this particular fresh hell. Or recycled hell, I guess. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Always love this video.

Dropped my love off at the airport. They're off to lie around in the sun in Bali for a week, while I hold down the fort in Far South Tasmanian midwinter. 25mm of rain overnight and more to come. Not a fan of this arrangement, I gotta say.

An initial statement from the cops that "there's no suggestion of excessive force" is followed by footage of the cop literally punching her in the face. Tbh the only real surprise here is that the footage didn't "mysteriously disappear" before anyone could view it.

Guy: "...Can I ask? Is that a chicken?" Me: "Yep, a rooster." Guy: (very long pause) "...But WHY do you have a chicken in Salamanca Square?" Look buddy I didn't expect my life to turn out this way either okay?

Ah yes, NAIDOC week is over, back to colonialist horrors
