absolutely hate when I emerge gasping, taking great gulps of air

Oh no I accidentally invented a crossover in my head between Pearl Jam and Elliott Smith

Ha thanks! It's my last name too (pluralised) so I slide it in when I see it. It'll just go into my files like the rest for now - I've made quite a few. Maybe I'll do a little show down the line or something

A cut paper collage on a cutting mat on a coffee table

Oh lord I don't have the energy to describe this. Lots going on, planets in a night sky, mountains and fire on the horizon, a pile of snakes in the front, an old lady holding a women's lib sign, a weird figure with a bucket head and in the background in the sky a sheep that's a little on fire.

End of winter is collage season. Cutting paper, waiting for spring.

Well that's yer problem right there

Does it show up in your Disk Management utility?

Oh cool, you're on threads? That's what I'm hanging on by

Maybe it would help if we all ran around yelling "THERE'S NO DO-OVER"

Awwwwe K O ' D

I mean being a final boss would be pretty sick

"Who do you aspire to?"

Me: "Boss-Level Lady"

A Camel ad from 1968 with a guy who has his boots up

A specs page for five different 1940s warplanes

A column called "Tom McCahill's advice to young drivers"

A page from a 1940s cookbook that says "give him a break! By becoming a red cross blood donor. BLOOD PLASMA SAVES LIVES on the battle field"

I was inspired to break out my collage stuff

high-security bunkers on remote islands were actually for when the files get unsealed

That's an idea I can get behind

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Lol so he isn't a member of the Federal NDP, isn't voting in the leadership race, and is "bluntly" demanding special attention for a situation he's done nothing but spin PR around. And he loves pipelines. Alberta represent!

Get his ass

Which a lot of us do, while "premium" content just moves up behind paywalls. I work in anti-poverty and almost *no one* can afford premium subscriptions outside of a certain middle-class demographic. And reposting news you can't access or verify degrades information fidelity across channels.

American Oligarchy

The bored whims and futuristic fantasies of billionaires now shape how and where you live and work. They are remaking the country in their own decadent and extractive image.

Welcome to the American Oligarchy.

I understand the sentiment but the disparities between what the rich can fund and what us plebs can afford is massive. We can barely afford groceries. This issue is yet another crisis being downloaded onto us plebs by the wealthy and saying "fucking pay for it" doesn't help any of us.

"Alberta's lawyers have so far taken positions that are aligned with or identical to the separatists."

Plus needlework is poised for a renaissance once we get a good solar flare

Great now I gotta sort out my beauty problem and my bedtime problem

Omg those are gems

One of the biggest blows against the illusion of Western democracy in recent years has been that there is now more popular support for Palestine than ever, the tide has turned; and yet it doesn't make any difference whatsoever.
Our leaders can entirely ignore us.
We do not live under Democracy

The rhetoric was misinterpreted as defiance against the U.S., he was advocating for cooperation with Trump against Russia, China and Iran. His actions have already shown this she-what.ghost.io/carneys-davo...

"For Harry Tseng..."The diplomat sees contradictions between Mark Carney's speech in Davos, a critic of the superpowers, and the actions of his government.""

*Me holding a cardboard tube to my mouth* that's because he wasn't criticizing the U.S. he was advocating for a coalition with them

Yeah I try to find bundles of loose pages for collaging before I'll take a magazine or book apart. Lots of my collage sessions just turn into reading and wowing over the old ads and articles. It is fun to revive them into new mediums though!

Those would make great collage materials!
