Today is my son's 2nd liver-versary. On mother's day 2024, we were at his place doing mom's day stuff when he got a call to come in within 30 minutes for his transplant. It was surreal. Things went very well. Last October he ran his first marathon in Nova Scotia. He's training for his second in Aug.

🧵 Why are we suing the Calgary Police? It’s hard to describe what happens to you physiologically while being smeared in public by powerful people. It’s a mix of uncertainty, fear, frustration, rage, indignation, and anguish, on a thick layer of pity — for self and others you know are in it, too. 1/

I can't repost them because I won't repost accounts with no proper pfp. But I just saw carney referred to as Mark Carnage and that is so spot on as to be perfect.

Put. Him. In. Jail.

in the early 90s, my mom lost 40lbs over a year. Was down to 94lbs. Had horrible digestive issues. Her GP told her she was a nervous eater. Then he (important) told her he thought she might be an alcoholic. Then later, that she was a drug addict. She had undiagnosed celiac disease.

Canvas & paper prints are available.

Watching Monarch ep 5 and reading the IMDb reviews which are basically "boo, it's a 4. too much character development and not enough monsters" and that's a pretty good distillation of what's wrong with fandom.

BTW, Steve is from Winnipeg so if you're interested in music and want to support a Canadian creator, it's a good channel to subscribe to.

A good watch

20 hours; made my way back up across his mouth, the end of his nose, and back to that left cheek wip / digital painting / #art / #AdamDriver

The Marc Andreesen bio pic.

AAAAAAAAAAAA first look!! I got a paperback ARC of my upcoming novel WICKHILLS! TIS REAL BEHOLD (Sorry can't do an aesthetic book photo session, I am v. v. sore and tender and tired)

🎶 Master of the house, keeper of the zoo Ready to relieve 'em of a sou or two Watering the wine, making up the weight Pickin' up their knick-knacks when they can't see straight 🎶

Some places are absolutely magical! This is one of three pieces I created for a recent commission. I was enchanted by the stories my client shared with me about this place, and painting it was pure joy! Tisha Mark ©2026, High Head Sunrise, oil, 12"x12" #CommissionsOpen #art #SciArt tishamark.com

Well that project is finished. Sort of... Still have my gallery side to do but my part for the landlord is finished. Pretty pleased with the taping job.

Canvas & paper prints are available.

Also, fuck pharmacare, the public service and every bit of climate policy for Canada. Talks a big game while destroying all the parts of the country that matter.

Rewatching Monarch season 1 and I can't believe how perfect Wyatt is playing young Kurt. Guardians 2 could have saved literal millions in CGI just by hiring him.

Hey #yeg looks like Angine de Poitrine added a second show (good for them!) I haven't bought a concert ticket since we saw Fogerty in Saskatoon in May 2019 where we bought directly from the sasktel centre. $46 in fees? Fuck you Ticketmaster (I know this isn't news to anyone)

Sometimes the threading here just cracks me up. First post "I don't like this weird food" {Collapsed replies} "I'm watching a show on cults"

3 packages left! Thanks for helping me get my momma a gift

One week away!

Summer is officially here in the backyard.

I've been trying to listen to Conan's podcasts and I just can't with him. Talks over his guests & centers himself. Never watched his show so not sure if that's always been the case. Otoh, Ted Danson is an absolute master at the interview. I really enjoy him & his guests.

Just an FYI. While I am not shipping to the US, I can ship to Europe (UK included) for prices that are pretty reasonable and all my prices are in #$CAD so you get over 40% off just with exchange.

Still available.

Elbows up.. his ass?

Finding out today that the EU anthem is Ode to Joy. No "hey, we're fucking amazing & powerful & the best" hyper patriotic nonsense. Ode to Joy.

"We Love You from the Moon" (Sold)

But the deals man, the deals. He's moved into worse than harper mode.

Still available.

Me, deciding I should post more art because that will help my non existent sales 😃 Me, posting & reposting one of my favourite, still available pieces, all day 38 likes 😐

Anyone who's been paying attention knows how this has been playing out. Everyone the man has done so far is devastating to the fabric of this country.

Honestly, I dgaf about passengers on cruise ships. They bought the petri dish adventure. I do care about the staff. And I do care that cruise ships are the most polluting form of people transport ever. They should not be a thing anymore.

Still available.

End of wokeism is synonymous for the return to intolerance & racism. Fucking disgusting.

The Liberal government is giving billions in public handouts to oil companies to build a techno-fix to the climate crisis. @desmondcole.bsky.social breaks down how the supposed solution is actually just cover for endless fossil fuel production. youtu.be/OlHT_ITCw9U?...

Despite being a bit click baity, Will (Sonny) does some incredible work illuminating how we are all just folks trying to get by through food. This episode is on the Yazedi in Iraq. He's also filmed in Iran, Afghanistan and with the Hmong & many more. Different than Bourdain but the same respect.

Since there's more ufo nonsense today

I thought "don't get it wet" was peak, but "can't drive over bumps in the road" just 👨‍🍳😘

Got the drywall (standard this time so about 50% lighter than yesterday) up gallery side and both sides are taped. Long, tiring day again but that's the worst of it. Couple of skim coats of mud and it'll be ready for primer. And that'll finish my part of the thing

Website is back online.

Do so these people crowing about carney's "deals" ever look at what's he's doing internally? Massive cuts to public service, selling off public assets, abandoning climate policy. He's bad people. He's a corporate shill.

Please thank Sam for one of my very favorite pet videos on the whole wide internet. For anyone who's never seen this before, volume up.

Mark Carney, tragically, is the worst PM in Canadian history for climate change. Yes, worse than Harper. Read this incredible thread for why.

Oh my. I forgot to post. Today is Sam's birthday. He's 6! Here's Sam the day after we got him at 8 weeks. He's the best boy ever.
