Córy Doctorow with another verbal bullseye: pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...

In this video, I install Linux on a -17- year old Dell laptop with just 4 gb of RAM. It runs amazing for general computing stuff & as a streamer. The new 3 Rs. Repair. Reuse. Replace Windows.

Sam has been standing at this window all day but still can't think of anything to proclaim.

Good morning.☀️. Look alive. Turkey vulture on a post. 🪶

I’ve been WAITING for this very question, Emily. And the answer is YES. There is life before Maldon salt and life after Maldon salt.

This is why I keep coming back to this place - so many discoveries from cool people. Who knew I'd be hankering after artisan salt today!

Always a good time to re-up this!

YESSSSS I love when you see a skater who recognizes they are nailing the shit out of their routine. The last third is so fun.

The best season for sleeping. 🌨️

George, ilu

Just another reminder. There are still about 400(?) items available!

George's motto: if you wear the hat, the party will find you.

He's so cute

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Hi! Are you doomscrolling? Do you have something fun planned today? Naps and trips to Costco count! If your job does not involve being on social media, I recommend logging off and doing something else. Lots of options, including reading a book, going to a museum and watching the gay hockey show. 🏒

I love the dipper(s) so, so much.

Happy New Year!! Just a few of my favorite works from 2025

Happy New Year, everyone! This is a @theguardian.com books cartoon from a few years ago.

Cold and snowy here, but there is ChickaSQUEE so we’ll be OK #birds 🌿 (Black-capped Chickadee)

Good morning! For @defector.com, I wrote about what @rachelreidwrites.bsky.social's "Game Changers" books, and the resulting TV show, have meant to me as a lifelong hockey fan with an increasingly... complicated... relationship to the men's pro game.

Merry Christmas! 🎄

Happy Christmas Eve! #kidlitart #watercolor #gouache

Friends, it is minus-43 C today (minus-53 with the windchill), nearly everyone is hunkered down, many things are canceled or closed, and yet, a postal worker just delivered my mail. I had to put a mitten on to grasp my iced-up door handle to open the door and get my mail and yell a thank-you! Wild.

The greens 😂😂😂

Serendipity is the name of the game. I do talks where I explain the process behind my work and there's always some key part of the project that came to me while I was reading something that wasn't directly related.

Oooohhhh my. It's like a hidden object game.

Yes, yes you are right. Also years of underfunding/staffing.

So particularly if you are new to this and seeing frequent “if you don’t like making [art] don’t be an [artist!]” and thinking “But sometimes I DON’T like it…” and Imposter Syndrome is gathering you close and whispering you’re-nothings in your ear, please push it away.

Mother Nature makes winter beautiful if you look.
