I'm only half heartedly here, but here's today's Emo Bird Week post. This is Billy Birdy. No further caption needed.

One of the worse things as a #Canadian pedestrian is walking in blizzard conditions when you're not wearing gaiters and having snow balling up inside your boots behind your Achilles tendons. Awfully specific complaint, but amirite?
👊🐦‍⬛🔥 #emobirdweek continues.

Today is day 4 of Emo Bird Week and our birdy buddy may not be a BIG, IMPORTANT world leader, but even she knows that group chats and emojis are not the way to plan the next steps in an unofficial war that is already under way.
The other day I received an official letter from a gallery confirming that I am booked for a solo show in 2028. This is a VERY big deal for me, but it's hard to be happy about it in light of...things...

Any other #GenX folks feeling hopeless and having Cold War flashbacks?
Today is day 3 of Emo Bird Week, and we find our #Canadian birdy buddies waking up to the feeling of being stuck in the middle with a new madman below, and a longstanding madman "above". The surreal part is that they're now on the same team!

Two unqualified-for-their-job freeloaders call Europe a freeloader. From Jonathan Goldberg of the Atlantic's story about their massive incompetent infodump.
I often spend my breaks in a secluded spot on the campus where I work that sits across from the psych health centre of our largest hospital. I see more young folks and their parents going in than any other segment of the population and it makes me sad that the world is so fucked up for them.
On day 2 of Emo Bird Week our #Canadian birdies are worried about feeling the pinch of an unprecedented and mind-boggling trade war with what was historically our closest trade partner and ally. All of that is clearly a thing of the past, but we'll be better off for it in the long run. Elbows up!
Recycled neighbourhood photos from 2023. The top item on the, Before I die list is timely.
This is the inexplicable soundtrack to the dream I was having when my alarm went off this morning. It was a dream about recovering from organ transplant surgery. 🤷‍♀️

I've resorted to silliness to get through the current global insanity. That and cracking open a new sketchbook for some low-pressure/no pressure artmaking.
