www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... Have a listen to an interview with Gillams mayor, Joy Burt, and I with Bernice Hillier about our project, Frolic! We will be celebrating it with a parade tomorrow at 7 pm!

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

workthatreconnects.org/a-tender-upd... One of the best among us…. If you’re looking for an example of how to be in the world, you should look no further than Joanna Macy. She’s a true human.

Highly recommend!!!

A contender for the most “Show me your budget and I’ll tell you who you are” bills in modern history. An act of breathtaking moral monstrosity and nearly unprecedented self-sabotage for the country.

How grotesque. The Republican reconciliation bill cuts nutrition programs for hungry kids in order to give tax breaks to billionaires. Good luck to my Republican colleagues in explaining the morality of that to their constituents.

A short video introducing Frolic, a collaboration between myself and women in Gillams. This project will be on view at the Gillams Historical Museum all summer. Join us for a women’s parade on Sunday, July 13th! The full video is here: youtu.be/Gd6qgN01lJ0

Congratulations to the 13 brave women who risked their careers and reputations to stand up to Cuomo’s sexual predation

BREAKING: Andrew Cuomo officially CONCEDES the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City to Zohran Mamdani

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Frolic goes up this weekend! Frolic is a collaboration between myself and the women in my home Town of Gillams. We held a series of conversations last summer and since then I’ve done a series of interviews one on one with women and girls in town. The results of this will be installed in the museum.

I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers

Some more recent handspun skeins, using up my fleece stash. Mostly Shetland. The chunky one is BFL/silk. #knitsky #spinsky #handspun

On International Women’s Day, an 82-year-old alchemical vulva boarded the London Tube to protest in front of parliament. Her name is Growler, and she is portrayed by Irish artist-activist Dee Mulrooney wearing flowing red and pink robes and hoods.

Eve was the original Jinker. #artsky

Alpaca/Shetland (50/50) handspun. Approximately 425m trying to spin up my sizeable fleece stash. #spinsky #handspun #knitsky

Really says a lot about Republicans that they blocked their own budget bill because it didn’t harm enough people.

Would You Call Me Eve? #jinker

At least six projects in the works. #notmadaboutit #artsky #canadianartist #newfoundlandartist

MEN: IT’S NOT YOUR GENDER HOLDING YOU BACK IT’S CAPITALISM. PUT DOWN THE AYN RAND, TURN OFF THE ANDREW TATE, AND GET WITH THE PROGRAM. /crazy-making frustration with the world

For four years, I sent hundreds of one of a kind, handmade art postcards to monthly subscribers for a project I titled RECEIVING JOY. It was fun and, eventually, not so fun. Making a few today - just for fun! - to send out later this week has been a renewed joy.

Finally got to get my hot little hands on the publication created for my project, MUNINN: Listening to Memory! Includes a wonderful essay by @riezie.bsky.social Rie Croll. The project was part of my artist residency at the Grenfell Gallery at Memorial University in 2020-21. #artsky #art #artist

Spring! #newfoundland 😂

April, Cabot Strait.

This is exactly right. Watch @raskin.house.gov explain how we can stop Trump’s coup:

Making my way home, I am struck by the shift in how it feels to cross the border. The US is gripped by fear. It’s palpable. Canada may be on alert and have elbows up but it is noticeably less waiting for the authoritarian shoe to drop.

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

do you think Cory Booker can make it for 3 years and about 10 months longer?

My friend, the incredible @sheainthecatskills.com is selling art and other goodies to raise funds in mutual aid for some people in need. Don’t miss this opportunity!

Today feels like a good day to reshare my Blame Her (Hillary) piece. Part of a series of 13 needleworks about women blamed for the ills of the world.

Thank you @suedanielson.bsky.social for sharing about STBT. In these dark times, let it be a ray of light!

On March 25, 1911 a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, killing 146 people. Mostly young immigrants. Dozens came together to honor them by embroidering the name of one of the 146 and begin the assembling the massive banner that will be displayed at the official ceremony on Tuesday.

Casar: You can quickly explain Doge with just two numbers. First: $8 million a day. That’s how much Elon Musk collects in federal government contracts. Second: $65 a day. That’s how much the average senior—someone who has worked their entire life—gets from Social Security.…

I considered taking the cross country road trip to California this April that I cancelled after my mom fell in the fall. Then I remembered my Canadian licence plate. It doesn’t feel safe, despite being a dual citizen. It’s wild that this is even a consideration but it is a big one.

Amidst the collapse of democracy in the US, my family is undergoing its own major shifts. Macro and micro -we are all connected. Finding some great photos from my parents and grandparents helps make it less sad. This is my maternal grandmother. 😂
