This is a wall #sculpture of my voice saying the word TIME. #soundimage
Tree shadows fall across a white wall sculpture of a soft folding mountain with texture in the sky that resembles clouds

Who’s they? I won’t use messenger or the fb app so they do stupid annoying things like like refresh the feed when I’m in the middle of reading or the comment section floats around, in and out of visibility. And now there’s regular pop ups “it’s better in the app” when they fuck around I close window

We have been having incredible fall weather in Toronto. Went for a walk in Sherwood Park with a friend today. It is a spectacular walk in the fall when the leaves start turning. They have barely started. I left my phone behind but I asked my friend to take this pic.

A view upward into the canopy of several massive old trees. The trees are very tall. Sunlight is filtering through the leaves with small patches of clear blue sky visible through the gaps between the leaves

Left to right with active random marks 4 scratchily drawn trees with grassy or bramble under brush. Each tree lean in different directions. Tree tops can be interpreted as bare or full as tops are lightly rendered.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Jane Goodall understood better than most the impact humans have had on the planet. Having witnessed so much environmental deterioration during her lifetime, she was as much an activist as a scientist.

Read our piece from 2024 on the legendary primatologist. 💚
Jane Goodall Thinks It’s Not Too Late to Save the World
The world, the famed primatologist says, isn’t what it used to be—but there’s still time to save it, if we treat crises like climate change, biodiversity loss, and poverty as one.

🔑🧵The daily question for us is how is my privilege working to continue oppression, how am I benefiting where POC & other disadvantaged groups are not. What action will it take to correct the situation, what do I need to cede in the moment or over time. This is my understanding & imperfect practice.

I don't understand this. Which one? Is it specific? I don't believe I'm doing this, but would love to know.

It’s a thing. Even with bells if someone is moving too quickly or engrossed in phone or other distractions… one of my more memorable bruisings - pedestrian on phone stepped right into me. I went over the handlebars on St George- visibility not great with food trucks. Hope you are uninjured!

More refinements to #wip #stonecarving of the #soundimage saying the word PSYCHO- great to be carving again & with digital technology revealing the invisible; visible in a way I never figured to represent my voice & all that encompasses one’s voice. The ancient act of speaking through stone.

There are many “art worlds” of those the underground crossover of experimental visual/music/sound has always felt like home.

This little fckr has avoided every trap. I’m extremely allergic. Been inspecting a filling possible entrances for weeks. I just wish the cute genius would move out or die. Less and less signs since I shot this but allergies still bad. #mouse #mice #nature
