Here’s hoping that the glacial pace of Spanish lawmaking keeps the policy as-is, so that the policy doesn’t change in the next three and a half years!

I’ve decided to move my retirement date up by two years (100 weeks, exactly), so that I can retire at 62. I’ve never loved the idea of getting older, but man, now I can’t wait to hit 60!

I know I diss AI a lot, but I had an interesting turn with Copilot on Friday, where it pointed out some things I hadn’t noticed in Spain’s immigration law about getting my residence permit back. After checking with a native Spanish speaker and wearing my 1983 calculator out…

My brother texted me asking if I could make one for his father-in-law, a diehard Leafs fan. I said that if someone could come up half a metre of the “JUST ONCE BEFORE I DIE” Leafs fabric, I’d be happy to.

Dawn Sev @dawnsev.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I didn’t align the pattern all that well, and I tried doing some topstitching with an old gold thread that belonged to my mother, but not bad for a first attempt. Especially since that Ottawa Senators fabric was supposed to be made into COVID masks back in the fall of 2020z

There’s something about making physical objects that’s just so much more satisfying than working with ideas.

I wanted to post something profound, but all I’ve got is that I have a new pair of glasses/prescription after [x] years, and it’s weird that they actually fit and aren’t always sliding off my face.

This 👇👇👇 🎨

💚 Your artist and designer friends probably aren't as full of themselves as you think.

Please remember: they share their work and accomplishments all the time as a matter of survival. No one else will be their hype man.

That grant? It's the only thing keeping them going during these slow months.

This flashy opportunity? They have been trying to make it happen for a year with only hope to keep them going and it's finally happening!

That exhibit? It's the only one they got into out of the 15 they submitted for.

That new painting they posted? They kinda need it to sell so they can pay the rent next month.

So be kind in your thoughts. Imagine if your job required social media presence on four platforms to make sure ends meet.

And if you see your friends or acquaintances post art that you like, please share it! It can make all the difference sometimes.

💚

“Canadians are probably scratching their head over Trump’s willingness to hurt his own people and especially his own party.” Hard disagree. We’ve had a low-key distrust of the downstairs neighbours for some time now, and this horseshit just shows we weren’t wrong to feel that way.

I would absolutely love it if Townsend won. Designs her own outfits because the major companies won’t sponsor her, doesn’t back down from a challenge, tells it like it is. (I mean, beads on an outfit on the court? More of that, please.)

It is *extremely* funny to me that Apple literally LITERALLY built its brand as an imagined hero against Orwellian manipulation of information and is, in 2026, re-writing maps because Donald Trump says so. Not ha-ha funny, exactly, but you get it.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.
