The amount of times I've refrained from responding "fuck you" to peoples' posts in the last few years is in the literal millions. I'd say "you know who you are," but you clearly fucking don't.

I'm at The Aviary, to see a band that won't be on for another hour. With my kids. I feel old. But still cool.

This last year has taught me that I need very little, and that I need some things very badly.

I think I might only be on social media still because I don't want to miss the moment it finally happens.

I've been waiting 35 minutes for a bus that runs on 15 minute frequency. 🙃

after months of this some days I, too, just screen gaze it's hard to resist #haiku #haikuonthebus #senryu

This morning as I boarded the bus and walked to the back, 3 of the 4 passengers already on board looked me in the eye and said "good morning." Please like and subscribe for more pleasant observations.

This is only the 5th September of my life where there has been no 'back-to-school' energy at home or work (with 11 years of both.)

Went treasure hunting to 3 thrift shops today and came up *almost* empty handed, with the exception of this mid-century modern (?) enameled copper dish/tray. Something about the design and feel of it in my hand kept me coming back.

Macauley Culkin turned 46 this week. He's now the same age Trump was when they were both in Home Alone 2.

I tried to catch the rider who left their banana peel on the back seat of the bus, but they gave me the slip.

I told the driver on the morning route. I won't be saying anything to this guy taking me home.

It's the last day of this rotation on ETS. If you had a good driver these last 3 months, tell them. #publictransit

There are people who say good morning to me on the bus, who I have never seen outside of commuting to work. This is because I am a fucking joy to be around.

Sometimes I see little number patterns that make me anxious. Sometimes they get my hopes up. Just little patterns, probably mean nothing.

This is the first in a series on the Memorial Organ in Convocation Hall. It looks at the U of A's involvement in the first two world wars, and the creation of the memorial. #UAlberta #yegheritage I'd appreciate your help in spreading the word. Please repost and share the article widely.

Share someone who looks stylish wearing PLAID.

We are dealing with the dumbest, meanest, craziest weirdos in the world, and the only thing they understand is domination. Any Canadian who doesn’t blame the Trump administration for all of this is firmly in quisling territory

One cool thing about GenX is being born with the chance to remember seeing Halley's Comet twice. 🤞

I'm close to having sets of haikus selected for issues 2 and 3 of the 'haiku on the bus' zine. But I haven't been in a haiku state of mind on the bus lately. I need to focus.

We're less than 35 years from the next visit from Halley's Comet. We should really start tidying up around here.

When I started whatever this project was, there were places I could go to drop off medium format film where they would develop it on site. I finished exposing the roll on Sunday after 15 years in the camera.

A white Holga120 medium format plastic camera sits lens-down on a table top, the open back facing upwards. There is a piece of transparency film taped into the camera with white electrical tape, and the transparency film has a vintage bingo card photocopied into it.
The camera back sits on the table surface in the foreground. Taped to the camera back on the left side of the film counter window is a taped piece of paper with a sketch of the bingo card design, and to the right is a taped piece of paper with barely legible notes about the image potentially captured in each of the 12 frames.

An exposed roll of Medium format Kodak film is held by the thumb and forefinger of an unseen hand. The roll is tightly wound. The backing paper betrays it's age in vintage yellow with two red stripes.
In the background is the open mouth of a small green canvas bag, full of dark mystery.
