This is your reminder that your days of rest do not require you to be productive.

It's okay to rest.

Spent yesterday wandering the woods in Cliff Falls Park in #MapleRidge with @peterdarbyshire.bsky.social.

Some days, the best rx is a #wander in the #woods with a good friend.

The look in Matteo's eyes is of a cat considering it.

NGL. The little piggy revelation still haunts me.

Just learned that the DRY option on my AC unit works as a dehumidifier while still cooling sans the compressor and on low fan.

Canada’s economy is showing ‘resilience’ against U.S. tariffs. Why? “Some resilience” — those were the two words Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem used last week to describe how the Canadian economy is holding up under the weight of U.S. tariffs.

Very possibly our economy is holding up because our PM MC is focussed on creating trade deals abroad and reducing provincial barriers.
Level-headed leadership and avoiding reciprocal tariffs that would tax citizens appears to be working.

😆 It's too perfect!

I think "PM MC" is how we should refer to him forevermore.

It's true! Nowhere in the lyrics is he an egg! 🤯

I just learned that Humpty Dumpty wasn't an egg. #nurseryrhymes #education #amreading

I am so honoured to be included in this book! Thank you, Alexandra. You're doing the work of saints -- although I think you again need to pass before sainthood can be bestowed.

I linked your book on my new website, btw: www.karenlamfilms.com/shop

Okay, Bluesky. Here's my test animation after keying mouth movements to viseme.

Took a road trip with friends to the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve in Chilliwack today. No herons, but we still managed a pretty great day.

Just started the new Karate Kid Legends movie (Cineplex app home premiere option).

It is really well cast! #movies #karatekid

You shouldn't feel bad about not being productive 110% of the time. Society has become too focussed on praising productivity to the point of toxicity that we have turned rest into a shameful act.

You are doing GREAT!!

Turnspit Dogs: The Elizabethan Kitchen Gadget Bred to Cook Meat Turnspit dogs were a distinct breed of working dogs in the late 15th-18th centuries. Their job was to run on a wheel designed to turn meat roasting over a fireplace spit. And they had to do it all day...

I just learned there was a dog breed that was bred to turn meat on spits before we had electricity.

Nooooo!! Not jam sandwiches!!!

My #Blender journey continues with my own creation. I created these creatures when I was ten years old and never forgot them even after I stopped #drawing.

#Creativity is my #joy and this has been a fun project to keep my mind active.

Or, in this case, they turn to delicious, delicious bacon.

I'm glad we could be here for each other during this time.

Oh my god. The little piggy that went to the market...it wasn't going shopping, was it? 😬 #NurseryRhymes #ThisLittlePiggy

Life in the late 1900s.

#history #memories #1900s

Hahaha. My mom took me to it in the theatre when I was five. Keeping in mind that back then everything was either general or adult--nothing in between.

Not gonna lie--at five years old I loved it. I own the DVD and swear by the original over the Netflix remake.

Sci-Fi scene with an X-wing behind a pet rock in a robe carrying a light sabre.

My journey with Blender*.

Pet rock Jedi landed on a strange, barren planet.

*I've been asked why I spend time on projects with Blender. My answer: because I don't like puzzles or Sudoku. This engages my brain.

It's sad that the only unrealistic part of the TV series #Westworld is that the company who runs the park hired humans to write original storylines.
