An image of 3 bunny stickers. On the left, there's a sticker of a white bunny with dark brown ears, paws, and nose. Her head is turned to the side and her paws are resting on a sign that says "Hello my name is Chaos". The sticker on the top right is of a white bunny with his head slightly tilted as he looks at the camera. He's holding a chewed phone charger in his mouth. The sticker on the bottom right is of a light brown bunny with a light purple background. The bunny is standing on her hind legs, reaching towards a dandelion flower.

The second is a white bunny with dark brown ears, paws, and nose. Her head is turned to the side and her paws are resting on a sign that says "Hello my name is Chaos". The third is a grey bunny holding a paintbrush in his mouth. A sign behind him says
"Don't Keep Calm, Binky On". "Don't" and "Binky On" look like they've been painted on by the bunny. The fourth image shows two pictures of the same light brown bunny, one on a light purple background and the other on a light green background. The bunny is standing on her hind legs, reaching towards a dandelion flower.

It makes me chuckle when people go "Doug can't be PM, he doesn't speak French."

Fam, Doug can't read in any language. But he's been the premier of Canada's largest province for six years.

I don't know, but as a Black woman in America with queer family members. When I see the world's richest man throwing a Nazi salute on a global stage after he bought himself a president and a position in my country's government, it gives me pause. It's a lot more concerning than random racists.

An image of a watercolour painting in a simple white frame. A small oval in the mat of the frame reveals the painting, which is made of painted cut out pieces of paper. The painting shows a seagull sitting on a wooden post staring out at a beach. Turquoise water is splashing against the sand and there are two mountains in the distance against a background of a blue sky with white clouds. Palm fronds hang down on the upper right of the painting and there are bushes on either side of the seagull. The oval painting is lined with a cut paper border that looks like rope.

I'm slowly trying to share more of my art here. This piece was in an exhibition recently & I just brought it back.
Each piece of paper was painstakingly cut out by hand after being painted with watercolours. The whole thing is 8" x 10", but the actual painting is only 3" x 4".
P.S. It's for sale!

The ON Conservatives delayed the adoption of this from the Feds and during that time there was influx of buying up of smaller daycares by chain corporations. As in LTC, who are the actors who are involved in the private-sector takeovers?

I think we need to provide cishet men with a lesson in consent.

If it’s not an enthusiastic, clear & ongoing β€œyes”, it’s not consent

If someone is unconscious or barely conscious, it’s not consent

If you force yourself on them, it’s not consent

If you need them to sign an NDA, it’s not consent
