❤️‍🩹The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation – a Ukrainian soldier and his dog. First, the dog seemed to scold him for being away so long. Then it started hugging him. I’m not crying. Something just got in my eye.

Room with a view. #caturday

President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

@cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social AB is pushing for a pipeline through BC while at the same time talking about separating?? And, I have yet to hear any talk about what AB will pony up when the inevitable spill occurs. Their abysmal track record on cleaning up orphaned gas wells speaks volumes.

New York subway rule: dogs can only travel if they go "in a bag." New Yorkers took it very seriously... and became incredibly creative. 🐶

Looking forward to spending a few hours today at Indigo Mayfair (Victoria) as the "Independent Author of the Day" schilling my book. It's the perfect Mother's Day gift for mothers who enjoy a light read and a good laugh. thegoodbyegirls.ca #booksky

Happy Mother’s Day 🌸

This is the stump of a Norway Maple we took down months ago because it was distressed and close to our house. The stump is still actively oozing goo that's now teeming with creepy little worms and weird larvae. It's a Petrie dish.

I've been at a beer festival selling books about beer. Back in the bookshop now and just sold a book about books. I think I've cracked this. Anyway, if your week is done, why not grab yourself a book from a nice indie bookshop somewhere? If your week isn't done, just do it anyway.

Well, if you recall, he is Doctor 'Jesus Christ' Trump, he posted a picture and everything, so it must be true 🤣 BTW, nice bike, remember to leave your long scarves at home. I don't want to hear any stories of you strangling yourself like Isadora Duncan 💃

I've been living with a jammed sacrum since an unscheduled dismount off my horse in Feb. Bought an ebike for commuting due to the high cost of gas (thanks Donny!). Had an altercation with a tree on the trail. When I picked myself up, my sacrum was unjammed! (Thanks, Donny?)

Europe is not just about geography, it's also about the values and principles we share. That’s why we are glad to welcome Canada at the European Political Community meeting today to discuss common issues. We will be talking about connectivity, but also resilience to the threats we are all facing.

Fingers in the dirt…

I finished the Planes, Trains & Automobiles painting. This is the final piece for my solo exhibition at @quirkyfox.bsky.social. Details to follow. #caricature #art

I am currently working on the backcover copy for "The Goodbye Girls - Ambitious Adulting." It's challenging to tease out 100 - 150 words that effectively summarize 84,000+ words! #amwriting (and struggling) #writingcommunity

#Connect2Nature #Birdoftheday #Welltimed I was at a Raptor Conservatory, crouching as low as I could get for a person my age, watching this Bald Eagle fly. Then he came towards me. One of my favourite shots. #Birds #Nature #Photography

GARY OLDMAN as Cary Grant from ‘North By Northwest’ for a photo project whereby Actors posed for a role they always dreamt of playing. (It had to be self-deprecating, ironic, absurd, a bit twisted and kind of like a funny/bad dream take on the movie.) Love it.

Wonderful to see this important work now available in French. Contributing to this book is one of the greatest honours of my professional career. #Canada #Booksky #writing

Witness the breathtaking moment as two juvenile blue whales surface together in the ocean. A rare glimpse of these magnificent giants in their natural habitat.
