Just heard pp is going to be in town tonight in #yxe and wondering about setting up a lawn chair parade welcome for him. I’d happily line the road from the airport with folks giving him the finger. Yup I’m at that point in 2025. Whose in?

Hey 🇪🇸 #Spain 👋🏼 Thanks for the beautiful yummy oranges! These taste so much better than anything from USA or isreal which were my other two options at my local 🇨🇦 store. Tasted like a lovely mix of orange and grapefruit and had this beautiful bits of red in it. 😋

Website updated with some new decal works for you to check out! These have been so fun to play around with as I learn to use decals. Working with these upcycled pieces means that I can also keep costs down. Art needs to be accessible to everyone. Caroleepp.com

The mix tape of cindy lauper and madonna of my youth is definitely helping me keep the anger thoughts out of the studio today.

This is for the men. When you see women being dragged out of a town hall by men with no uniforms, no badges… THAT IS YOUR TIME TO STEP Tip chairs. Stick out a leg. Drop something in the way. Start a brawl. All day the men are online saying they are here to protect women. 1/

So while America tries to take over the planet, Canadian government keeps moving forward towards reconciliation. Here’s a historic moment in our colonial history. I’m proud of my country. We have a lot of problems needing to be addressed sure, but at the same time we at least see the work being done

Had so much fun working on this portrait for a client. Who doesn’t feel all nostalgic for #anneofgreengables? Always have time for more custom work! Hit me up if you’re interested ☺️

Currently living in the coldest part of the world. Watrous beats Saskatoon today but barely. 🥶🥶🥶

This is a great reminder.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote. This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people — groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

I talk so much shit and make so many ceramics. erikarier.etsy.com/listing/1875...

Possibly the scariest thing I’ve seen to date. And I remember listening to the shock and awe on the radio as they invaded Iraq in 2003. And I remember waking to my radio alarm as the second tower went down on 9/11. I can’t believe we’re here again.
