the incidental Telephone Museum. All are from way back before hand computers. Reminds me to phone a friend every now and then, like we did in the olden days #telephone #vintage #artaventcalendar

Snowcat with twig whiskers #artadventcalendar #snow #cat

7:03am PST - Sunday Dec 21, 2025 Slept through the Solstice so it was simply winter this morning

Merry winter in the northern hemisphere! from hereon the daylight lingers longer each day #solstice #artadventcalendar

I grow carrots and sometimes this happens #artadventcalendar #carrot #art

Banning gender affirming care is denying evidence based medical care to a vulnerable minority. it is absolutely incorrect. and cruel. Madness in the US and here in Canada the poison creeps too #transrightsmatter

Elfin saddle fungi in the forest. I think Helvella maculata aka fluted brown elfin saddle #fungi #pnw #forest

summer plant rainbows #artadventcalendar

Remember when the city of T removed the Barenaked Ladies from a gig cuz a couple people at the city thought they were objectifying women? They figured it out. So when is our federal government gonna figure out Kneecap is an Irish band with activism roots and banning them is dumb? #kneecap #cdnpoli

Agree! Official agencies should have a communication plan in action already that involves moving away from these ill-managed has-been platforms. By remaining active they condone it. Would they join that network today? I used to use it for info, now I don't. I'm doing alright

Pea plants love the chill in the weather. But will the flowers turn into peas? We shall see

Alarming CBC reporting shows Canadian-branded weapons ending up with Sudan’s RSF — a force accused of mass atrocities. Did the PM raise this while signing a trade pact in the region? Canadians need answers. The Liberals must launch a full investigation and close the loopholes now.

Rainy day in the temperate rainforest, slows my pace nicely #forest

Hmm ok I spoke too soon.. new sunflower blooming still in mid November here in Vancouver

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics" guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

at the end of this rainbow is a condo tower

#fall in a week and sunflowers show it #yvr

Box for a plastic thingy that juices a lemon then you pour juice from the top. I love the picture of tea with pie.. and that one candle. Citrus Boy !! I'm thinking 1980s? #citrusboy

no longer a boring plywood scale cover... thanks to local graffiti artist ELVO #yvr #Vancouver #graffiti

apparently we humans are unsustainable superpredators, so that makes sense

Made some crabapples in syrup in a sunny summer day

I'm thinking gish gallop is just what we been calling verbal diarrhea

Buncha freshly killed vegetables gonna feed a buncha people.. maybe a kind of succotash cuz I also got corn on the cob from a friend

FEED GAZA ❤️ seen in Vancouver, Canada

All i see is rusting skull face Bit foreboding for a ferry dock!

Respect Judaism. Resist Zionism. Boycott Israel. (poster in Vancouver BC) #yvr #freepalestine

I appreciate this simple clear info on the deck of the ferry boat and I imagine how often it's helped new ferry workers cuz they could just stroll here and double check which way was Aft again

A lil reminder that nature has much figured out. Last summer's fallen cherry tomato is this summer's seedling party #garden

Scapes season. Garkic scape is a bonus side food. Before the main harvest of garlic you can snap it off and eat or let it grow into a flower. Good bbqd or in a pesto. The curly stage is cool looking. #garlic #gardening #growfood

lately I've been thinking about this 2004 movie that has stuck in my mind since watching - a satire called "A Day without a Mexican". Directed by Sergio Arau. Seems all the more relevant with the extreme racism of the current U.S. regime #comedyistruth #LAprotests #film #mexican

If you can, ground yourself with a lil nature, it helps us function #activism #naturebreak #shinrinyoku #fightthegoodfight

Strawberry season 🍓💕 Wishes for sweetness and safety for all

#crow vs #pizza box lasted about 10 seconds

I hope someone adopts these #books - spotted at the local Free table in #Vancouverbc Vintage children's encyclopedias called Art Linkletter's, 1950s maybe? I forget. Gorgeous drawings. Spot the out of date info! Trying not to go back, I DO NOT have room

I keep thinking about a 1990s Jane Jacobs book - basically about how we have Government and Business, and they are run differently. For a bunch of good reasons. The format is characters in conversation which made it readable despite complex concepts. Title is 'Systems of Survival' #book #janejacobs

Ok so it's not a big cauliflower, but I grew it and it was DELICIOUS! Planted the seed last summer, overwintered on the mild west coast and then suddenly decided to grow a (cauli) flower! #gardening #Canada #yvr #wetcoast #gardeninginCanada

Nice sunshiney day in Vancouver, first day of advance voting for federal election and I heard the line ups were long. So we took the cat to the park. Will def be voting still!

Mornin' purple broccoli 💜 #springharvest

hope it works, I'm really counting on this feature #panicbutton

About 10 years ago I was randomly in a gym in Arizona. Each treadmill faced a TV, alternating FOX and CNN, all the way down the row. It seemed so binary, but at least folks were mingling.

Magnolias and cherry blossoms are blooming all over this city. Switching out the toque for a baseball cap! #toque

My friend called this tiny hook a fairy wall dildo and now that's all I can see. It's the little things in life that help you get through

Anti tesla / facism march in Vancouver BC Canada, eh. I must say, my first thought was 'wow colour printed printed posters, fancy'

Purple broccoli! Did you know many veg come in colours that you never see in a grocery store? Just wait till we get to carrot o'clock... #growfood #eatyourveggies

Moon sliver, thinner than a smile... #moon #crescentmoon

Happy Trans day of Visibility! No one should have to hide their true gender or identity. Diversity among humans is way more fun and thriving than boring ol' 2 box world. I will keep trying to use inclusive language in day to day life, awkwardly and determinedly 🌻 #tdov #transdayofvisibility

Using the same hand computer AKA smartphone since 2016 here, which is crazy but what's really crazy is that it's considered a lengthy time . The

it's 4am somewhere

Just me and the raccoons.. and sometimes a skunk

Friendship march to the borders, anyone? Let the people show love or heck, just basic civility and respect for neighbours and neighbors - while the villainaires randomly destroy and pilfer
