I am unreasonably happy that I have the same bowl pictured here 😁
Also, mmmmm, potato scones

I've woken up with a sore throat this morning. This helped me feel a bit better about life, the universe, and everything. Thanks Emma!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

This is beautiful. I love the colours and contrasts

A person is having a conversation with their brain floating in space. The person says “hello friend your job is to keep me happy“ the brain replies “nah. my job is to keep you safe from real and imagined threats“ in the final panel. The person is in bed saying to themselves “I’m home it’s bedtime. I am totally safe”. The brain replies “OK, but what if… “

What you think your brain is supposed to do

Detail of an art quilt. Many colors divided by Black giving the eye a place to rest. This detail teaches me that we can handle all sorts of over-the-top chaos as long as we can find a place to rest, our souls and spirits.

Learning from detail.

A quilting mentor once wrote that you can use 100 colors as long as there’s a place to rest your eye.
I think this is true of chaos. We can handle chaos as long as we can find a place to rest our souls and spirits.

Spending the rest of a Saturday watching The Repair Shop after a successful morning of errands sounds nice though, yeah?

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️

For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.

First comic panel: Pierre Poilievre in western attire, wearing a campaign button that says "Just Write In PP", says "Hello, it's me, Pierre Poilievre. I've got a message for all you folks in the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot. Panel two PP, looking at the no-service alert on his smartphone, says "Even though my family and I left the place we called home unexpectedly, fleeing ideological persecution to this safe space, seeking employment and top-tier healthcare, this small and close-knit community has welcomed us into their homes with compassion and understanding." Panel three PP, looking incredulous: "I mean, wow! I literally came to this community with the expressed intent to take the job of someone who has lived here his whole life and is clearly better qualified to do this job, and I am the leading candidate for the position and it's not even close! And you are paying for me to do it!" Panel four PP narrows his eyes: "Thank you to the people of Battle River-Crowfoot. Let's wrap this up and get down to the important work in Canada together: Doing something about all these resource-draining and entitled immigrants."

Poilievre has a message for the by-election voters. #abpoli #Canada

In my 40s, “a woman who has let herself go” begins to sound less like a tragedy and more like a horse who has finally figured out how to open the gate.

Thank you

The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

That was fun!

I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Fingers crossed!

Just a reminder.

There is no Alberta without Canada.

The separatists in Alberta are a loud and vocal minority.

Real Albertans need to start getting louder than them.

Now.

28% of Albertans voted liberal which is only 2 seats.
Alberta conservatives are over-represented.

This is the energy we need in 2025

The UCP never misses an opportunity to punch down. Despicable.

If you feel the world doesn't love you, remember that people aren't the world. The world is a place of soil and birds. The first churches were trees. The stars watch you, and the moon knows your name. 🌙

A painting of mine titled The Dreaming, depicting a sleepy young girl wrapped in a tattered blanket, cuddling a sleeping rabbit. A female guardian spirit stands over her, and she's surrounded by magical, green-haired Little People wearing masks and clown noses. Medium: thin washes of oil paint and pencil on canvas paper.

Happy #WorldArtDay to all the makers out there, and to all who enjoy and support their work.
