This handy flowchart is for any fellow cis people out there who have someone in their lives who come out to them as trans.

I can’t decide if the feeling watching this leans more horror or more terror. Definitely nauseating.

December 11 #ArtAdventCalendar is a summer storm (to balance out yesterday’s frosty view). Clouds and a bit of double rainbow! #art #photography #saskatchewan #storm #rainbow

So while I never enjoyed the bare minimum of political philosophy classes I took, this? This I enjoyed. Immensely.

December 10 #ArtAdventCalendar Because it’s snowing, here’s something from 2018. Heavy, heavy frost overnight at the farm. This old poplar tree has been a photo staple for decades. #art #photography #BlackAndWhite #farm #frost

Under the wire! December 9 #ArtAdventCalendar a sunset during a smoky day in 2017. #art #photography #saskatchewan #farm

December 8 #ArtAdventCalendar is my best to date watercolour (I think). I honestly really like the look of this. #art #watercolour #saskatchewan #learning

December 5 #ArtAdventCalendar a classic portrait photo. Yes, it’s a cat portrait. Tippy (also Tipperary, Tippy-my-love, Tipster-bipster…etc) #art #photography #cat #CatsOfBluesky

December 4 for #ArtAdventCalendar Looking through some folders and saw a bunch of shots from Newfoundland - the Insectarium & Butterfly House in Deer Lake. (Of course I didn't make any notes, so I have no idea what *type* of butterfly any of them are.) #art #photography #butterfly #Newfoundland

Amazing! The African Translation Project is 98% funded--we are so doing this! ko-fi.com/africantrans...

For Dec 3 #ArtAdventCalendar it’s something entirely new to me. Photography has always been my go-to art, but I’ve tried out more stuff in 2025 thanks to a local art store’s “try everything” classes. Here’s a #gouache on black paper. #art #painting

Dec 2 #ArtAdventCalendar is 2025 autumn winding down to winter. Blue, green and gold. #photography #art #photo #trees #saskatchewan

Australia? Home of the big corps wanting to strip mine the eastern slopes of the Alberta Rockies for all to coal they can get? The selenium in the watershed will be FINE gang?

Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Ready Set Go #ArtAdventCalendar Get your #art out!

Wisdom’s mate joins her! 🎼 #Reunited USFWS staff spotted band EX25 on 11/25. No, he has not been named; we await that news. So far we have a few photos and we'll share more as we receive them. Here's to a successful egg laying and hatching season for these two! Photos by Chris Forster. #Birds

Does anyone I know here - folks #yeg or wider - have a copy of Flapper Pie and a Blue Prairie Sky? @alauder.bsky.social @alisonborealis.bsky.social

Oh I think #UglyDogs would enjoy these! “To bork or not to bork” 😂😂

Artists & Art lovers! Time to get geared up for the biggest art event of the year on Bluesky! Last year we had close to 1500 artists from 25 countries posting original work daily from December 1-24

Okay you have to scroll down a few to see the bricks and the construction but jesus h christ on a crutch it’s worth it. Maybe let your engineers enjoy their dinner first though.

This is one reason I still love social media. In the midst of a 48 hour elder care disaster, this gave me a few minutes of “OMG that’s so cool” boost. 💜💙

Last night supper; I’ve still got a few tomatoes ripe for eating. I just take a big thick slice and pretend it’s a hamburger patty. Brandywine variety, which I maintain is one of the best tasting varieties. Heritage plant, and fruits can be weird and a bit finicky. But delicious.

In which Mike tells a heartwarming and fun story about Thanksgiving and pie. Read it - it will do your heart good.

Astounding achievement!!

Same TIL! What a story - and as Ian says down thread, just 4 days short of 92 years apart. Wild!

She called all of it a year and a half ago.

Admin is 💯 correct. The city should lead coordination. That’s also where you get groups together to identify the data everyone is gathering, assess reliability, look at redundancies and gaps, set up data sharing agreements & processes, etc etc etc. It actually improves efficiency greatly.

Appreciate @nationalobserver.com underlining the threat these lawsuits pose to our democracy: “One way to help preserve an independent media is to protect them from vindictive US-style lawsuits… we must be free to report fairly without the threat of expensive lawsuits designed solely to shut us up”

I really feel for trans, two-spirit and gender diverse people in Alberta today. When Saskatchewan used the notwithstanding clause against trans youth, it felt enormous. It is enormous. #skpoli #abpoli #cdnpoli

Just on the off chance that there are #Calgary #yyc folks out house hunting, or knowing someone who is - my brother & SIL have theirs listed. Great multi-generation setup (built that way), close to schools, groceries, transit. View: matrix.pillarnine.com/Matrix/Publi...

Saw so much yellow this morning…such a loss. I learned SO MUCH from Alice Wong’s work.

Well, the official close of winter prep season is here; I put the big tractor in the shed.

Well, I got YellowBoy in bunkhouse - food is an excellent motivator. He had a few bites and then decided to explore, so when there was enough space between him & the door I got him. Good omen I hope: he didn’t go ballistic. Wanted out, but seems ok in 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 🤞🏻 hope it sticks! #cat #stray #ProofOfCat

Well, Mom & I have landed in town for the winter. Bro, SIL & nephew will be at the farm for the winter, arriving tomorrow. Biggest things left to do are the cat shift change - the usual 3 to town, and with dogs arriving the 2 house cats -> bunkhouse. And hoping YellowBoy will go there for winter.

What in the ever-loving HELL, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social. You suspending people without warning or reason is seriously bullshit.

In a rare case of Substack notes usefulness, I just learned that Sarah Kendzior (author of They Knew and a brilliant writer) got bounced from Bluesky. What the hell? new @sarahkendzior.bsky.social
