Sending encouragement from this Nova Scotian household that’s been cigarette-free for a few weeks, now. Hooray, you! This *can* be done.

That’s quite the most engaging fox pic I’ve ever seen. Zoomed in on the face, and such intelligence!

Exactly. I bet today’s 8-year-olds could point out those AI giveaways just as quickly and easily as we did with these drawings, rolling their little eyes and saying “OB-viously!”

That was fun. Like a grown-up version of the Ladybird “find 12 things wrong” puzzle drawings they used to have.

Zactly.

This is one of a handful of albums that I would hang on to until the bitter end.

Yes. *sigh*

So, we’re probably going to put in a couple of rows of gnocchi this year.

That’s a compelling idea. I see what you mean about his changing style. There’s a winter one that’s very modern, as if he’s channeling Alex Colville. Maybe he was a time traveller.

You’re glamorous even when you’re asleep, Lu.

Such a friendly and toothsome sight. You could bait a hook with that and catch yourself a good-sized vegetarian.

Oh, goodness. That hot sky. You can feel it.

Paint thick enough to cast its own shadow. Lovely.

Each species distinct. He knew his trees, he did.

AOC embodies all that is still admirable in the States.

Katy Jean addresses a crowd of people, many wearing bicycle helmets, at the intersection of Harvard and Allan streets in Halifax.

A large crowd of people gathered at the intersection of Harvard and Allan streets in Halifax. Many have bicycles while a few are using scooters. They are listening to Katy speak.

Two homemade signs stuck in a planter. One says "We miss Scritchy" and has a drawing of a raccoon's face. Another says "Justice 4 Scritchy!"

Several flowers and bouquets of flowers laid against a traffic cone at the intersection of Harvard and Allan streets.

Big turnout for Scritchy the Raccone's memorial service at the Harvard/Allan diverter this afternoon. @katynotie.bsky.social delivered a moving eulogy before mourners observed a moment of silence. #BikeHfx

Very pleasing. Well cooked. 😊

Shibboleff, yeff.

That ear is a masterpiece.

Spring scribble. Graphite and watercolour.

Condolences to you. Rotten news.

That would be marvellous, wouldn’t it?

Such a friendly light.

I’m a bit concerned about its behaviour this morning, sitting in bed with its head twisted backwards, croaking “Forbidden” over and over.

Should be a trigger warning on that. 😔

You do a fine fire, sir.
