Studio Albertine

Just so we’re all clear here Alberta can’t separate, here is a detailed explanation as to why. Danielle Smith is causing a huge distraction because of investigations into her government. Ignore them.

Here's the silver lining for tonight's byelection debacle.

Part of the justification for cutting back staffing was turnout in byelections is typically very low.

And this one didn't matter to the balance on council.

Yet thousands of voters waited for hours to exercise their democratic right.

Also, Vancouverites are rock stars. We all waited it out with a sense of duty to our city and our country. So proud of everyone tonight! #vanpoli

On the bright side, we met the best folks waiting in line to vote tonight. So many great conversations. #vanpoli

Vancouver woke

It’s 9:22 pm. Just voted. In line since 6:30 pm. Hundreds of people in line behind us. #vanpoli

Vancouver voters have come out in droves to send Mayor Ken Sim a message. It’s not politics as usual! #vanpoli #vancouvervote

Poll workers are saying that they may be here working through these lineups until midnight. MIDNIGHT in a by-election Simms said didn’t matter. #vanpoli

It’s 8 pm in Kitsilano. We’ve been in line since 6:30. This is the line behind me. To the end of the park. They told us that we, in the middle of the line, would wait another 1.5 hours. #vanpoli #vancouver #vancouvervote

Two eclipse pieces new in my shop today:

I love this piece I finished up yesterday. It feels soft and dreamy, but . . . As a woman, a mother, a human living in contemporary society, the sense of always having to be on alert and watching permeates every aspect of my life. To truly rest, that may be the real dreamscape.

I've Forgotten How To Remember Remembering, for me, has always been a function of the mind imprinting the details of the outer world on my brain so that I could recall them accurately later.  In truth, though, I knew it to be so mu...

U.S. Congress bill aims to prevent funding of invasion of Canada A new bill introduced to the United States House of Representatives would withhold federal funding for any American "operations to invade or seize territory from" Canada, Panama or Greenland -- unless...

When American lawmakers think this is necessary, it should make us Canadians very, very nervous.

Look, folks, this is it. The entire ballgame. Either we're a Republic of laws & the Constitution, or we have a dictator. This is fascism, & the impeachment vote should be happening today. Every single university president in the country should be out, in front of microphones, condemning this.

As a member of the Polish diaspora, never have I been so pro-Poland as I am today.

Elon Musk must be stopped.

Za naszą i waszą wolność!
For our freedom and yours!

What happened to freedom of speech, right to protest, where are the patriots?

American Republican politicians are the most reprehensible humans on the face of the Earth.

The lies. The absolute lies.

Ethers
Mixed media

The dream ethers are neither air or water. They are fear, fascination, full immersion, and flight.

I guess we're inured to this stuff now, but can we just pause to recognize what sort of Orwellian Upside-Down we're living in when the guy *whose country got invaded* can be accused with a straight face of "risking World War III" for... not wanting to be conquered & subjugated?

Pass it on.

I'm grateful for news that I have been selected as a 2026 artist in residence at Château Saint-Pierre de Mejans in the Luberon region of France.

Ken and I will be heading to this restored ancient priory turned wine estate next spring.

Making #collage papers.

New mini #dreamscape. Considering Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market today and how women of the Victorian era used story to fight their #repression.

Ah, nice little 4.7 earthquake to remind us here in BC that we are just waiting for the Big One.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

I found out today: this little beauty that my great-grandmother's brother sent her from the WWI front lines was hand stitched by Belgian and French women and sold to soldiers.

So excited to learn about the makers, and proud that my Polish family fought on the front lines against tyranny.
