Generally curious person curating a space for kindness, joy, and a healthy dose of reality. Accepting suggestions for what that dose is. Distracted by knitting, music, gardening, dogs and sometimes cats.
Dont be rattled by the future. It only took me 6 weeks and $300 of supplies to grow one radish in my spare bedroom. We will be fine....

I guess when i was envisioning the comic book villians of the dystopian future they were more Marvel than DC, I had it wrong. They may be Bullwinkle. Are these videogame cosplay characters I am unaware of?

Finished up the Coldsnap Music Festival Sunday night with the incredible art of Sechile Sedare and Kaia Kater. Here is a clip of St Arnauld Saturday night at the legion that sums things up for me. What an amazing group of joyful humans ❤️

The US has had 569 bank failures since 2000, Canada has had 0. Our banking system is largely held up as one of the safest in the world.

Buy Canadian where you can, buy less but buy better (no to fast fashion, yes to small business/sustainable makers), plant your garden (i have extra seeds), up your donation to the local foodbank, put on a sweater and turn down the thermostat, drive less. Other tips for weathering the trade storm?

Listening to the beautiful music of Arooj Aftab today, give it a listen.

Almost as satisfying as popping bubblewrap.

What in the Ayn Rand is going on? It is like the premise to a new Bioshock game.

Coming up to a year since mom moved into long term care after living with me for 3 years. So grateful for the love and kindness she receives from the staff. She is sleepy most of the time and interaction continues to decline but we always get a few moments where her spirit shines through.

Week 1 of panic knitting for the Coldsnap Music Festival. Each artist gets a hand knit item to keep them cozy while visiting Pronce George. 70 musicians this year!!!! Chunky knits and stash yarn to the rescue.

Heather and Howard, like so many, are now having to face starting over. Self-employed, artists, and renters they need help in the short term to find a place to start over, not just to live but earn a living. Link in comments.
