This week I have been dealing with sorting through the entire contents of my parents entire house. As a PSA to your future self or your children’s future self, please don’t put off purging things you don’t need or getting your affairs in order. It sucks for other people to do that for you.

Ken Sim and ABC just gutted the Social Housing Initiative. That's not pro-housing: that's full NIMBY.

Canada, abortion rights are under attack. The forced birthers are using the same strategies that worked in the U.S. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...

Canada should be focused on nation-building. Instead we are getting sucked into a needless pipeline war to appease Moe and Danielle Smith. If the PM tries to kill the tanker ban without consulting BC premier Eby or First Nations he will be in for the fight of his life. And he will lose.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Again I am dying not to drive. I don’t want to drive. If you make spaces for all it gets people like me off the roads and less traffic for the people that want to drive.

The Minister of Environment and Climate Change looked me in the eye today and said that the projects Mark Carney announced yesterday must match communities desires, and that Canada has a duty to consult Nations before projects are a part of the One Canadian Economy Act. #COP30

“Why do you work with paper?” - is a question I often get asked. The simple answer is, because I love it. I like to point out that painters never get asked why they use paint. Come visit me! Eastside Culture Crawl Studio 250, 1000 Parker St- November 20-23 2025.

Renters are being gouged by corporate landlords with rent hikes of 30%, 40%—even 50%. Canadians can’t wait years for affordability. We need national vacancy control now to stop profiteering and protect renters. #cdnpoli #HousingCrisis

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military. If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

“[AI is] not a good knockoff. The ultimate goal is never to be as good as the art — the goal is to be good enough to get on the page, get the consumer to use it, and get rid of the worker.” —Molly Crabapple, artist
