Economic Blackout this Friday 2/28!

I knew it!

Lying in bed, unable to sleep because the wind is just howling, blessing the miracle of well insulated construction.

A prevailing theory is that by making numerous grandiose, controversial overtures, he's clouding all the smaller, yet still insidious, evils that are happening, making it harder to protest and prevent these changes.

What new trauma can this year throw at me?

Come on, 2024. 8 days and counting.

All the games you played on consoles skewed it, methinks

Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies:

“What a weird thing to say”

“Do you hear yourself right now?”

“You shouldn’t say shit like that to people”

“I won’t let you talk to them that way”

“That’s a disgusting opinion to have”

“Shut the fuck up, dude”

Foreground tabby kitten looking at the camera, a blanket over her shoulders. Background black kitten crouched behind the blanket.

Tabby kitten sprawled on a rug, paws on a wand feather fascinator toy.

Black kitten laying against a pillow.

Tabby kitten laying over a cushion, rear legs stretched out to show her toe beans.

I forgot how much fun, and how much work, kittens are.

Had a lovely conversation on the ferry with a stranger. Both of us living in the same city, a province away. Both travelling to the same place.

Inspired by pie.

View out the window of an airport. Blue skies and snow on the runways between the planes.

Leaving the snow behind. At least for a while.
