The need for storytelling and the relational in an age of isolating and overwhelming dystopian information — Dimensions Variable Information won’t tell us who we are, or who we are with

"Stories are an antidote to severance"

I've been sharing a bunch of excerpts from my essay series, Beyond the Altar, over on IG, and it’s time for me to get more comfortable sharing it here. this essay is where my head is still, even 1 1/2 years later.

It’s always nice to see a Red Wedge, isn’t it?

A banner that reads "Game Workers Conference" in white text on a pink and blue background, alongside the ball and threads logo.

Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?

The United Videogame Workers of CWA, in partnership with other unions and worker-centered organizations, announce the #GameWorkersConference. May 22-23 ❤️‍🔥

Me too! I love where I live so much.

Chickens and ducks live in someone’s yard around the corner from us.

Spring has sprung for real

Le Premier ministre Carney et le chef du NPD, Avi Lewis, sont attablés et discutent

1/ Le premier ministre @mark-carney.bsky.social et moi-même avons eu aujourd’hui un premier entretien chaleureux et fructueux.

Holy crap.

The picture shows a fibula (a brooch) in the shape of an owl, decorated with enamel in different colours: The large are orange with blsck pupils, the wings are green with red circles.

A charming #Roman enamelled fibula (a pin for fastening garments) in the form of an #owl.

Vampires R Us

Bluebells by the ocean! #yyj

Thanks Avi. So glad you are here.

Corporations have found a creepy new way to rip you off. It's called "surveillance pricing" and it's coming for all of us at the checkout if we don't stop it.

Add your name and help stop retailers from price-gouging us with the help of Big Tech: ndp.ca/surveillance-pricing

I also found these lovely ladies. Thought I had tossed them years ago. Seems I was savvier than that. I guess I had better get some frames!

Star Wars poster by Hildebrandt 1977

Hey look what I found! My Dad bought me this when I was really young. Like grade 1. It’s my fave #StarWars poster by #Hildebrandt dated 1977.

Yes!! Obsessed!

I remember when it first came out. News coverage talking about reclaiming silver from old cinematic film strip. Saying that your jewellery could be made from old copies of Casablanca. LOL

Making stamps with erasers is fun! So easy to carve. These are sweet.

vibe inspo heading into the rest of this week 🙏

Luba - Let It Go (Official Music Video) [audio not in sync] YouTube video by peripeto mobile

Feeling it's time to share Luba again.

It's a lovely piece. I adore the blooming sacred heart motif so much. 🩷🌷

Cheers! I love printmaking. Thanks for the prompt. I am inspired to do some more now. 🙂

Some art of mine! Au Printemps, 2023. #PatiTozerArtist #linocut #linoPrint #sacredHeart #AuPrintemps #InSpring

Earth and Moon from DSCOVR NASA's Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) aboard the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) satellite captured this unique view of the Moon as it…

Some discussion on Artemis II broadcast about how dark the Moon is compared to Earth. Here's a really nice look at the two together from the same camera -- the Moon isn't white, it's dark brown www.planetary.org/space-images...

I'm so glad to hear it. You should try making an Unwearable Ring, yourself. It's really fun!

LOL It make no sound, no. It does spin, however!

I just found out that plants sleep and can be anaesthetised so I don’t know where we go from here really, you can’t unlearn that

Thank you!

Thank you! 💕 I made it for the Battle of the Rings. If you do a search on IG you will find the gallery easily. I have a series of "Unwearable Rings" & this is part of the series. All of my work is one of a kind, except a few series I make for a gallery in Vancouver.
