"I avoid politics." No bestie, you avoid uncomfortable conversations about politics. From the moment you were born til the day you die, you've been thoroughly and utterly enmeshed in the policies, systems, and governance of a society that shapes your experience. You just try not to think about it.

Watching great playoff hockey played by skilled players who are women. I'm cheering for the #OttawaCharge. #womenssports

In an arena. Large screen and smaller screens that have the message "PWHL Playoffs". The Professional Womens Hockey League is in second season

The snow today is beautiful. Yes, it's April but the snow will melt and the crocus, daffodils and tulips will welcome the moisture.

There National War Memorial in Ottawa has a fair bit of snow on it. The surrounding trees are covered and part of Parliament Hill is visible. The angel with the torch symbolizing peace looks like she will conquer all adversity. We need peace.

I feel uncomfortable when I don't have a craft project with me. It's like a fidget toy or maybe a favourite (but generic) stuffed animal. Today's project is a Canadian flag that I'm hooking on burlap. #rughookingasky #fiberarts #rughooking

Burlap with the outline of a Canadian flag on it and a small portion of the left section is hooked with red wool. A cushiony fabric wraps the frame.

As a blind dude, your images mean nothing to me without an alt-text description. I know it’s a pain & I have zero expectations of you using this #Accessibility tool so thoughtfully provided by #BlueSky but I appreciate every effort. It doesn’t have to be The Great Gatsby but please include me 😎

I'm pretty good with music from the last 10 years because I ride in the car with my kid. Those one word bands from the 90s, I don't know their music and don't understand how they could write whole songs but only come up with one word names #kidding

I am definitely not the only person in my neighbourhood that decided today is a good day to get my car washed. I might be the only one making a tapestry while waiting. #fibrearts #februARTy #weaving #tapestry

For my northern latitudes friends: a reminder that the winter is passing and there is more daylight every day to enjoy. We did not need headlamps for our 6:30 walk this morning. Last month, it was pitch dark.

If you see this, quote tweet with a bridge from your gallery. Ottawa has many beautiful bridges but it seems I take pics from them more than of them. This is the Adàwe Crossing Bridge over the Rideau River.

A large, metal reflection ball is attached to the side of the Adàwe Crossing Bridge shows me taking the picture. It was a sunny, fall day, and the Rideau River water is moving quickly

I used Gemini AI to calculate the number of heddles I needed for a point twill pattern. I'm pretty sure my grade 12 math class prepared me for this but Gen AI was there. #weaving #handcraft #usefultech
