Holly Hunter curled up in the Captain's chair with a book is everything!

I looked up "re-gift" in the thesaurus, and it listed "machado" as a synonym.

Made a bookmark today. If anyone finds an article about the Walk For Peace, please inform me. Thanks!

I love watching French television series using my Hoopla app. HOWEVER, my local library only has seasons 1-6 of 8 for Engrenages, and 1-5 of 7 seasons of L'Art Du Crime. How am I to find the later seasons here in Anglo World?

Yesterday a grade 5 student told the class they understood that art did not have to be realistic to be good and understood, and used examples of art I made and displayed to illustrate that point. Verklempt.

Thread: This year, I wrote about 80 articles for @econuoft.bsky.social. The only one that did not reach its intended audience was about Dan McGee's paper entitled Exploitation Through Racialization. academic.oup.com/qje/article/... 1/8

Finally looked up "crunchy" as a slang term. Veggie masala burger with home sprouted mung beans on a toasted sourdough roll suggests I'm crunchy AF.

Anyone else remember going Downtown to Sam The Record Man, Tantrum, Station To Station, or Doctor Disc - then trying to sing some song you only heard once on the radio so you could see if the staff could figure out if they had it in stock?

'I'll take things that never happened for $2000' is the new 'First!'

"We" is an odd pronoun to use in a conversation. The speaker may use it to either include or exclude the listeners. See? We are going to have fun together. We are going to have fun without you. If the speakers don't include context clues, the word "we" can be misunderstood in many situations.

My public library does not have any episodes of The Simpsons, Stranger Things, or Black Mirror. I fear I may become culturally illiterate.

Took friends out for Tibetan food and we filled the table with appetizers so we could graze while we chatted. Afterwards my friend's son asked for this to be done as calligraphy.

Walnut ink on watercolour paper, bookmarks. I gave all but one of these away on Thursday on my trip to Toronto and back to see David Byrne. Confelicity

The neighbourhood squirrel likely assumes I won't try to purloin this walnut. I'll have to remember to check on it from time to time, see if it's still there when winter arrives.

Do you think Greta Thunberg is a bodhisattva?

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

"Not" Anish Kapoor

I kinda thought there'd have been a novelization or graphic novel adaptation of "Everything Everywhere All At Once" by now.

What were your 1st three science fiction novels? My first 2 were thrifted, the 3rd bought new. I still remember purchasing each of these. One at a flea market for 25 cents, the 2nd recommended by a libraire at a used bookstore shop, and the 3rd was new at the mall.

A little calligraphy from a couple years back, with some fancy swash.

Weird. There was only one bad apple here before.

Trump's photo of himself as a Vietnam War officer seems an odd choice, considering the US lost the war in Vietnam.

Making bookmarks for the new year.

Making charcoal from a piano key, which will next be turned into ink. The apparent note according to my chart says this was the key for A#.

‘Star Trek: Lower Decks’ Wins 2 Hugo Awards, First Franchise Wins Since TNG Finale##startrek #hugoawards https://bit.ly/stldshugowins

Watching Spiral in French with English subtitles, hearing "c'est pas faux" but reading "it's true", realizing I am catching meaning but not word for word translation. Which would be impossible anyway. Love my Hoopla account!

The ink made from pine cones for this calligraphy came from this tree. Long time St. Catharines residents remember this as the location where the YMCA was downtown, now a parking lot. I realized the tree resembles the letter Y, so I can stop saying "where the Y was" and can now say "where the Y is"

That reminds me, Margaret Atwood is coming to speak at a fundraiser in Hamilton this autumn.

If you ever wondered what you would have done during the burning of the Library of Alexandria, you're doing it now.

Pine cone ink on watercolour paper. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Henry David Thoreau

Why do we say messenger instead of messager?

We’ve got in the habit, starting in earnest a year ago, of blaming the craziness of populists on political polarization. But there has not, in any measurable way, been a general polarization to extremes of left and right. Only one side became polarized www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

This afternoon I sorted out and bagged all my US change. Who knows how long it will be before it gets spent.
