I was interviewed for SELF by @rachelwmiller.com a few yrs ago. Reading her article felt almost like a conversation that you would have with your friends, intimate and in depth. Losing SELF means losing the opportunity to have more of those kinds of conversations. 🧵

Book 39: Schemes & Scandals (A Rip Through Time 3.5) by Kelley Armstrong. Continuing this series about a contemporary Canadian detective in Victorian Scotland. This novella was less gruesome than the other books in the series but still a lot of fun.
I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

An embroidery of a moth-creature with six arms and eight wings. The eyes are bright red, four on the face and many along the wings as well. There is a rainbow pattern within the wings, and a gold crown floating above the head.
One of my favorite pieces, and a great example of controlling variegated thread carefully :3c #embroidery #moth #mothilim #biblicallyaccuratemoth #art #stitchsky
> The controversy associated with the statement “Ada Lovelace was the first computer programmer” reveals more about modern attitudes towards women [than her] achievements. [Her 1843 algorithm] was so advanced, that it was still utilised in record-breaking computation of Bernoulli numbers in 2008.
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

The thing about Vancouver wanting a world class art gallery is we already have one.
The Museum of Anthropology combines two of the greatest visual contributions this land has shared with the world — West Coast Modernism and Northwest Coast Art — into a singular expression of this region.
getting sick and staying sick can be a great shock that reorders your place in the world to such an extent that it’s hard to explain to people who live outside the haze of sick time. falling through that door has meant arguing with language to communicate something we don’t have shared words for.
Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

Book 38: Trickster Drift (Trickster 2) by Eden Robinson. Such a fantastic book! I loved the first book in the series and the TV show based on it but the story gets so much more bizarre and interesting in this one.

View of the living area in the tiny house on a sunny afternoon. There's a couch and coffee table, a bookshelf on the right, French front doors on the left, and a storage loft above. The ceilings and trim are all richly stained wood--decidedly cabin vibes.
View of the opposite end of the tiny house, including the dining bar, kitchen area, bathroom, and stairs to the sleeping loft. Again, very cabin-y. A full-size washer and dryer are visible in the bathroom.
View from the stairs of the sleeping loft. There's a queen size bed (pictured), and decent storage for clothes (not pictured).
Exterior view of the tiny house! It has metal skirting and steps, both included in the sale. Overall it's light gray with white trim and a dark gray roof, with lots of windows. The adorable twee cabin vibes continue.
Hey folks! I'm selling my tiny house, it's all prepped and ready for someone new to love it as much as I did.
If you're interested, please reach out, I'll leave DMs open for a while! Happy to answer any questions, and I've got a more detailed sales flyer I can share upon request.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.
The artwork depicts a lithe figure, frequently characterized as a human-plant hybrid. It is noted for a long neck and a flowering branch emerging from the subject. It was shown by Gallery Wendi Norris at Art Basel, emphasizing its importance within her surrealist portfolio. It aligns with her common themes of magical, occult, and mythical beings.

On top of reasons of role deconstruction and bodily autonomy, this is one reason why it's so important to many people in power to eradicate trans folk.

Can’t help but feel that we are living in an era of overwhelming anti-intellectualism on every front, with AI being the corporate vanguard of this cultural emptiness.

Original seascape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Wavering" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 8"x8" (2026). This loosely painted seascape painting is monochromatic (black & white). It has a textured sky over a dark, wild sea. The sea on the right is meeting a rocky shore on the left. There is much texture throughout the painting.
Sharing for today's #BlueSkyArtShow theme, #Edge
This painting is all about an emotional response. I used value and texture to express how I was feeling in a particular moment. Painted from imagination and memory in my studio.
