Ohhh these purples and oranges are VERY fun next to each other! I like where this is going!

Hilariously, this patron would deeply enjoy Gideon the Ninth’s magazine collection!

…this explains a lot. A. Lot.

on the left, a pink tarot card of nine sticks forming a trellis with a rose growing up it - the 9 of Wands, and on the right, an embroidery copying the design but in more realistic colours - the rose is red, the leaves green and the sticks golden coloured

I cannot even. @hakerann has embroidered one of my tarot cards #tarotsky 😭

It was so fun to stitch!! I’ll probably do more, it helped me look at the card more closely. ❤️🐦‍⬛

Hi Marci! This looks very interesting but the “attend in person” button hasn’t been activated yet so I can’t register.

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

the Black Panthers were right

I love science.

In 2020-2021, the Ontario Ministry of Education approved just 159 non-ECEs (early childhood educators) to work in ECE-designated roles. In 2024-2025, it granted 1,997, a 1,156% jump. thelocal.to/ontarios-day...

Ahhh congrats to you and to all of us eagerly awaiting a deck! The colours are so vibrant, I can’t wait.

Canadian googling Saatchi… ah yes we have the big money collections here too. Narrows the view! And keeps most of it in the vault most of the time.

Part of what I’m taking from it is that we have lost the ability to show reverence without gatekeeping and commodifying it. Keeping art common and accessible doesn’t have to mean making it less important or sacred or valued.

Ohh this is a very interesting pairing!

On the left: an illustration, largely in blue, featuring the outline of a person with waves and lines across them in blue. On the right: text that reads: “Better than the spa: why I dive into Iqaluit’s icy waters. At high tide, a group of women plunge into the ocean to find calm in the extremes”

“My fellow Iqaluit cold plungers and I are creating both a system and a ritual around getting into the cold water, so that it remains safe and enjoyable,” writes Laakkuluk Williamson. “Each time we get in, we tweak what we need to do.” thewalrus.ca/swimming-arctic/

Reputation Lab ranked the reputations of 60 leading economies in 2025, shedding light on their international standing. The US dropped from 30th in 2024 to take Venezuela’s old spot at 48 in 2025. That’s getting great again.

It's difficult to untie the two concepts, as they are distinctly inter-twined.

But there's two reasons to not visit the USA as a foreigner.
1) Moral repugnance over the government and its policies
2) The increased risk to your own safety

So are we going to see any migraine orgs stepping up to reiterate the safety of Tylenol during pregnancy given it's one of few (pharma) treatments available to people with migraine when they're pregnant?

Time for "I just need to put my feet on your leg" season! Personal radiators prepare yourselves!

Better not let them see it! Cats know what’s up. 😼

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing.

Here’s the point:

ONE less person kidnapped by ICE.

ONE more child vaccinated.

ONE grant reinstated.

ONE more PEPFAR treatment.

ONE more meal to a hungry kid.

ONE more person covered by Medicaid.

One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.

If you put googly eyes on the Pillars of Creation you get muppets 😄😄

@nnedi.bsky.social I’m in the midst of Death of the Author and have to keep putting it down to stare and think for a while. It’s so good!! Have loved your work for ages; this one is on another level.
