In Toronto yes, but in Cambridge only where there isn't a grassy boulevard between the sidewalk and the road. Funny enough, sidewalk clearing in (at least Scarborough) is contentious... homeowners fear for their lawns when the lil plow comes by 🙄
Check out my conversation with Tanille Johnston, one of the five candidates running to be NDP leader!
I'm really impressed by Tanille and I think that it's too bad that money didn't flood into her campaign like it did into Avi's.

Join us on March 16 to learn about MOVE history & a local curriculum project.
Explore how the government’s willingness to bomb schoolchildren, whether in Iran today or in the Philadelphia neighborhood of MOVE decades ago, reveals patterns of state violence. ⬇️

Was miraculously not late for the workshop and it went well. Thanks IRL Festival, you're a delight!
....and that's about how I feel about #DaylightSavingsTime as someone who does not keep their phone anywhere near the sleep zone. Makes sense, I was just starting to enjoy the nice early sunset.
said to my partner "omg WHAT, for some reason my alarm clock was an hour behind what my phone says and now I have fifteen minutes to get ready, not an hour fifteen 🫨"
Had a 10 am workshop this morning so I set my alarm for 7:28 as normal. Woke up, gotta do things, no snooze! Looked at my phone a few minutes later and it said 8:44
This is the image I used to make the previous digital flyer, it is a picture from the last time Be Gay Do Crafts did collage. The part that stressed me out was that I offered my copy of the Canadian Green Consumer Guide for some reason...which I regretted a lot because it's a cool book. Oh well. Maybe I will patch it back together one day.
This month they’re doing collages. Collages stress me out and I’m a little glad I’m missing out BUT I do hear lots of people find that collage art is fun and light and sweet and overall BGDC is a darling queer community space open to all ages go enjoy!!

Digital flyer for Knit City Toronto. March 27-29, 2026 at Enercare Centre. The top half of the flyer shows three white people hanging out at the Tullys Yarn/Worth Mending booth. Yep, that's us! I'm caught with a goofy look on my face and one hand in motion because I'm probably flailing around, with my two friends looking quite normal in the background. Ooh, all of our booth display stuff got stolen last year so our display this year will look totally different how fun is that!
Finally we’re closing out the month in Toronto with Knit City on March 27-29. This will be a big one! There are TONS of vendors in addition to talks and workshops, check their website for more info :)
Hamilton Fibre Market flyer. Sunday March 22, 2026. 10-4 at the Cotton Factory: 270 Sherman Ave N in Hamilton. Bottom half of image is a slightly out of focus cropped view of Worth Mending table at a previous Hamilton Fibre Market event. You can see two Swift Darning Looms and a scattering of brightly coloured tiny tapestries woven on the same loom.
March 22 is the Hamilton Fibre Forge! This kicks off the fibre festival season for us, we look forward to seeing you :) either there orrrr the next weekend ::::

Digital flyer, background image is a beautiful muted purple cable knit cardigan being repaired with pink and gold yarn. The top half shows the repair in-progress, Elysha's hands darning using a Swift Darning Loom. The bottom half is the "after" image, the cuffs highlighted in gold with a pink-and-gold darn on the right sleeve. This sweater was given to me by a friend and now that it's fixed, it's beloved by my little sister she's so lucky!
This Sunday! If I'm lucky, I'll get to gawk at a bunch of Irish knitwear riddled with holes. Can't wait! Get tickets at irishreallife.ca ($25/pwyc at the KW Art Gallery)
A digital flyer of sorts, with the text worth mending what's happening; march events. the background image is a view from inside a barn on a sunny blue late-feb day, you can see the landscape through the open barn door. in the foreground there are a bunch of willow sticks leaning to the left, and in the middle ground are my stick-sorting pals sorting sticks. This was Agnes' first year growing willow at Steckle (aka Stickle) Farm and I'm so delighted to support her sweet sticky ventures.
Firstly, you do get this cover image I created for IG because well, I need everyone to know that sorting sticks at Steckle Farm (with Agnes of mindfulmakers.ca and swooppublicart.ca) is a very cute and sweet activity
This is a megathread of all my March events! Hope this inspires ya near/far, and please share locally if ya see somethin interesting 😇
#Kitchener #Waterloo #Hamilton #WatReg #HamOnt and I really don't know how to tag Toronto without drowning

Learned a lot, loved this conversation!
Really great, compassionate, informative conversation. Thank you!
Today I finally feel compelled to read this bad boy
[re: how grades/standardized tests are useless and/or harmful within education, but they're the norm because they make the system cheaper and streamlined]
and also to Sandy's quip of, "So we're just creating this 'grade economy' because the police have all our money and we can't afford education?"
Shoutout to Spectrum WR's queer multi-sport drop in [& Aliyah for reminding me of it today], "the gym class you wish you had when you were younger" -- I think they'd appreciate the analysis in this episode

A blue sewing machine surrounded by a bunch of patchwork denim (blue and black) pieces in progress, they're gonna be mini zippered pouches hopefully by the end of tomorrow.
Sewing days are my favourite moments to yell at the radio (or yell with the radio?), I don't know if this is what you want me to be posting about, Dear Reader, but I'm happy to serve anyway 🫡 uh not in a military way
I could probably make a yelling-at-the-radio (or yelling-with-the-radio?) post about every episode of S&N but I don't know if that's what people follow me for 😂 you're welcome anyway xo
Conversely, I do appreciate an opportunity to safely witness "bad faith" bullshit as a way to deepen my own understandings, and communication skills when I'm faced with these sorts of conversations. 🙃🙂
Real. I'll take a listen, though tbh 2h and a show called Bad Faith (plus the comments who have nothing good to say about the guy arguing against defunding lol) make it sound like a tough listen.
We went from the "peacekeeping nation" to the "defense industrial strategy nation" creating 150,000 military jobs and pretending it's an investment in our collective future? Like maybe it's just a more honest name but come onnnnnn there are 13 canadians who want this & they're politicians.
I'm still working through this book because unfortunately I'm like not very smart and it's a lot to process. But I love how clearly you break down and organize the data. It's a really important snapshot of those years that we're being conditioned to forget.
