People use bike lanes in Edmonton! I created a bluesky bot that will (hopefully) post daily counts of people on bikes going by the counters that are on bike lanes. Give it a follow! #YEGBike.

Gonna share some of my favourite photos of my city every evening for the next little while. This is the Observatory at the UofA, that I got to photograph because I was producing a MOOC with the wonderful Dr. Sharon Morsink, and did a photoshoot with her team of astrophysicists. I'm very lucky.

As usual, I like the glitchy tester version too?? (I think the well-used wood type's night-sky-patterning shows up better given I used lighter press pressure & ink, is why) Thanks @megsmith.bsky.social for letting me quote her good words!

Original sold & didn't get it scanned so prints but I like it so here it is again. I do over 50 different prints available in paper & canvas on my website.

I’m sorry but Marie Philip-Poulin carries her injured wife off the ice with 18 seconds left then gets back out there and sets up the tying goal with 2 seconds left?!?! #pwhl

Here's a wee thread of free software I use when making videos and writing. Blender is the obvious one for 2D and 3D animation, but please tell me about other little apps that are cool. tldraw (tee ell dee raw?) is a simple whiteboarding tool, especially handy using a pen on a tablet. www.tldraw.com

If you're not regularly watching stuff at NFB.ca you are missing out on so much incredible art and documentary work. I try to sneak at least one film into my day. Today it was this absolute gem of a cinematic poem. www.nfb.ca/film/losing-...

Printshop was unexpectedly out of both copper & gold ink, so changed plans for inking the rest of my Whitman prints:

My book Radical Infrastructure came out last week! It goes deep into the political and economic roots of technological infrastructure to explain hype around various technical projects, and counters it with cases of people pushing back. Download OA: www.ucpress.edu/books/radica...

What can we learn from the rise, fall, and abandonment of four spectacular ancient cities? @r-emrys.bsky.social on @annaleen.bsky.social's Four Lost Cities, and how the urban planning (and disasters) of the past can inspire exciting new ideas:

I’ve helped many library patrons over the years with provincial or federal forms for disability, immigration, tenancy, and other complex things that seem designed to make people fail. It’s so incredibly frustrating and I want to shapeshift from librarian to legal advocate.

We had only written the pilot of Halt and Catch Fire when we read Soul of the New Machine. That book had a huge impact not only on the content of our show, but the tone. The humanity at the center of the work. The book is still on my desk and will be forever. We owe Tracy a lot.

a delightful im-sim where you have to plan out every move and then slap together something funny when that plan doesn't work quite the way you expected. also, a cloud of pepper is a devastating tool in the right hands...

Very excited to read this and I’ve ordered a copy for the household! An amazing person I used to work with is among the authors. 💖

I don't have items set as buyable quite yet, but I did get my letterpress print store (store.wolfproofpress.com) & press (wolfproofpress.com) sites open! Trying to raise $ to buy a home press (which will allow more free & mutual-aid-fundraising printing, including instead of doomscrolling at 3am...)
