Just ransacked my entire house for ten minutes only to remember that the book I'm currently reading is an e-book.

Celebrate #EarthDay by taking a mindful nature break! Go for a walk without your headphones today. Listen to the birds, wind and water. Reconnect with nature and yourself. Take the #MySmallAct challenge: brnw.ch/21wS92A ๐๐
I hope you have a good turnout!
This conference aims to inspire young women and non-binary youth to realize their leadership potential and become changemakers in their communities. If you are or know young female-identifying and/or non-binary folx interested in attending, please share with them www.kings.uwo.ca/about-kings/...
If you live in London West, here's what you need to know to vote early! I was in and out in less than five minutes! It just feels good to vote early.
It amazes me a lot of folx donโt necessarily view classism as a form of oppression or violence. This is rooted in thinking that experiencing poverty/being poor is somehow indicative of a persons character or moral failing instead of systemic oppression. And, thereโs trauma that comes with that. /1
Thought of the Day: The hair dryer blew my grocery list into the sink. The paper got wet. I had to use the hair dryer to dry it. Literally, the thing that caused the problem became the solution. The hair dryer is me.
That's reassuring that I'm not alone. :) Give me blind stitching the binding for days! I love it!
I understand that I am supposed to quilt first, then bind the edges, but know this about me - I will always go rogue when crafting. I defy the rules and happily accept the consequences. Hasty imperfection is my vibe. It brings me joy. My truth is I like quilting the least about quilting.
TOMORROW! โฐ
Join moderator @brendonstuff.bsky.social for a panel discussion and Q&A on how to get involved in municipal politics ahead of the 2026 Municipal Elections. Registration is not required. Everyone is welcome to attend.

A snow covered trail with giant pine trees lining both sides.
We spent some time this afternoon walking in the woods with my parents and enjoying the sunshine. It is always the best way to reset for the coming week. ๐

Finding moments of calm and quiet around the house to move into the weekend. The natural light is fading, and I must turn on some lamps. What is keeping you grounded right now?
