I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

People of Vancouver, BC - have you seen any of these yellow plaques around?

I'm trying to find the 100 plaques that were installed for Vancouver's centennial in 1986.

I've found 27 still up and 12 that *were* up but have since been removed...

Oh god, I really don't need another clock, but that is sooooo good.

Makes me feel like the TV unit has just been rolled into class and/or I'm home sick and tucked up in my parents bed. Either way 👍
+ SCHOOLS IDENT CLOCK // RABIES SIGN +

Made these in Dec as Xmas gifts for a couple of good friends. Both were very pleasing to make so I've popped a small batch in the shop, available to pre-order for shipping in Feb. Short run and only available for a limited period.

The scariest Christmas story:

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Except for A DRACULA

Well, I didn’t have “a front row spot for the Barenaked Ladies” on my Santa list, but I got one anyway! Brilliant night at the CPKC Holiday Train in our very own Port Coquitlam station
