I crocheted a blanket! It took almost 8 years and is currently seasonally incorrect but now my cats can enjoy it because it matches them :)

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Sadness is a downpour—it arrives without asking, soaking through our defenses in seconds. Joy is a garden—it must be planted seed by seed, watered with intention, weeded of doubt, and fiercely guarded against the storms that would drown it.

After two years off the wheel, I'd say getting back into pottery is going well. I'll share finished photos when they're out of the kiln after glazing 🥰

I can't think of anything else to post. See you all next month for my unregularly non-scheduled thoughts. 👋

I think everyone should create harmless graffiti at their workplaces to make it feel more like a community.
I have started posting blackout poetry made from scraps from the printer around my workplace :)

Today I learned how to change the cork in a flute...
And how to change the strings on a french horn...

Band instruments don't make sense.

For anyone struggling to engage with what the winter holidays of the west have become under corporate kleptocracy and rampant religious hypocrisy, creating your own simple personal traditions that feed your soul and not the system is a *must* ✨

So excited for my Solstice tradition of planting an indoor winter herb garden 💚 I call it my tree of life, even though it's just a shelf with pots of wet soil and some grow lights at first

It's a sliver of peace, grounding & remembrance of what truly sustains us all🕸️🌞🌿

Sushi is my lifetime favorite food, and I stopped eating octopus specifically because of their otherworldly intelligence

I get my own whiteboard at work, and unless there's a very important announcement I usually put dad jokes with musical themes on it. I'm running out of jokes though after 5 months of doing this every week, someone please send me some niche musical jokes that are safe for kids 😅

When it's 5:15, you haven't taken your break yet, there's less than 4 hours left in your shift, and someone is eating popcorn that you can smell from down the hall and one floor up

This is the type of collection you really have to pace yourself reading. It's very impactful, I'm only halfway through it.

I might go look at more flowers tomorrow... someone should stop me though because these ones will be for sale not just for show

With all sincerity, Elections Canada is a national treasure.

- Voting typically takes less than 15 minutes
- We make it easy for citizens to vote, without cumbersome registration hurdles
- We have every reason to trust that ballots will be counted fairly, and results reported swiftly
