A society loses its vitality whenever people become incapable of caring about problems that don’t personally affect them.

If I sing 'Everyone loves...' how do you complete the lyric? (I have a real tune in my head)

Autocorrect tried to change that to 'coffers' and don't we all need more of those...

September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. Today is a time to raise awareness of the ongoing impacts of residential schools and remember the children who never came home. How are you honouring the day?

Make no mistake, trampling treaty rights at the federal & provincial level, normalizing & platforming residential schools denialism (alongside genocide denial) & sanitizing Canada's history (& present) is exactly why the Second Sons felt comfortable setting foot in Tk'emlúps te Secwepemc.

If you ever doubt the power of community, think of my three naughty cats working together in the dark of night to break into the compost bin so they could feast on chicken bones. True teamwork.

The natural world that so astonished Annie Dillard & Wendell Berry is right outside your front door, right now, hungry to be encountered. Encounter it. Be an instrument of awe.

Some days you just have to cope with the fact that you can't get Nelly's 'Ride Wit Me' out of your head and hope tomorrow will be better.

Just had training to work as a ballot counter for the #AB referendum and my pleas to all of you are this: 1) Please vote. Make my job difficult because there are so many ballots to count! 2) Please mark your ballot clearly so that every vote is counted.

An appreciation post for three of the world's greatest Cs...coffee, cats and cookies. (Made a batch of the third one with a fourth great C, chocolate, yesterday)

May artists that speak truth to power inspire us all to be a little louder. ✌️

Frost warning last night so I harvested the green guys from tomatozilla. More than 50 tomatoes on one plant!

Many of the library memes annoy me but I’m totally here for this one.

I just chose the less convenient fork that was NOT at the top of the cutlery pile because I know the top one is my husband's favourite fork and this post is just to prove that even though we're old and boring AF and have been married for 25 years, we still like each other.

I've said this for many years, long before this craze: ideas are near worthless. The value is in implementation. The work it takes to realize those ideas into something of value. Two people can have the same idea for a story, yet write two entirely different stories. One worthwhile, the other dreck
