Black skimmers begin nesting on our beaches in the spring and we get to watch them grow from little baby puff balls to adolescents to adults over the summer. This bowl, with its rounded bottom so that it can rock and spin on a flat surface, almost functions […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

War ravaged Portland

@bobjonkman good idea!

Anybody in Saskatoon here? I'm trying to get the word out to farmers who might find Starlink debris in their fields by reaching out to TV news journalists. Is it really just CBC, CTV, and Global? Is there somewhere else I should reach out to?

Hey I posted a while back about turning down a great job because it was only 20 hours a week and it wouldn't be enough to live on. Well they came back with an offer for 28 hours/wk until December to give me time to find a second job or raise money for more hours. So I said YAY YES and I am now […]

When I am like now, where I am like 'damn I cannot draw and all I have ever made looks like a pile of shit' I find comfort in this. Artists are so fucking cursed, man. We're so cursed. 💀

The Charter is not just a law, it is an expression of Canada’s most basic and deepest values. “Notwithstanding” the Charter means “I don’t share these values”. Any and every politician or government that proposes its use should face such an extreme backlash that no one would dare consider it […]

@bobjonkman well his wife who was in the same chat clarified "no wait dear you gave away the old push mower back in May" so its legit. but for a minute there he had seven no eight lawnmowers

#askfedi - What is "tech"?

Lawn mower broke last weekend and we're saving up for a nice cordless new one. I asked a friend chat if anyone had a spare lawn mower they'd be willing to part with for a few $. One friend said "let me check". I asked "just how many lawn mowers do you have that you have to check?" Ohhh, lookit […]

It just makes me so angry to see yet another multi-million tonne #bclng facility approved. These negate any and all progress British Columbians, residents and businesses, have done to lower their own GHG emissions. These plants are completely incompatible keeping warming to 1.5ºC. Don't […]

Local newspapers have been gutted. Local journalism has been completely decimated. Where do people find community anymore? Is the goal to break down communities? Postmedia sure is doing a good job of it. For the sake of our community fabrics, there's voids that […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

I made this video in 2020 out of longing for normal human connection through the SMU "A Taste of Taos" summer short-course series. The series would bring friends of SMU to Taos to get a small experience of sitting in faculty classrooms. @jodi and I did this with our friend and colleague, Cas […]
