Why doesn't Ryan Coogler do a screen adaptation of Butler's Parable of the Sower?? Perfect fit.

The human impacts on whales are all too real & the list is long. That's why we believe the extreme focus in WA & BC on the detrimental impact of the whale watching industry can sometimes overshadow more pressing issues, ultimately doing a disservice to the whales.

Here's a little visit with my painting "Rouge River Skate" with commentary on the little vignettes that drew me to paint this scene. This painting is part of my exhibition at Leslie Grove Gallery in Toronto until Sunday, July 19. Drop by to see it and the rest of the show if you're in the area.

What I'm saying here is, if Anthropic pirated your work, and you haven't made your claim yet, go do that TODAY. It's a lot of money! Even if you have to split it with your publisher, it's over $1000 per book. Don't leave it on the table!

#poetry Song For My City (2) If you're boiling with rage and see only blood, but don't have the strength to pull out of the mud, embrace those that do. If you can't stand up against the boot and the club, in the struggle for justice and the struggle for love, ...embrace those that do!

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.
