My vacation mode is weirdly the opposite. *Wakes up at 2 am* Brain: You can do whatever I want right now and for the rest of the day! Sleep can wait – time for coffee! 🫠

I don't know where I found this image but I saved it to my phone furever ago. And I'm glad I did. Whoever the artist is, I love your work! 🐶

Closeup of a dog's salt and pepper muzzle – mouth slightly agape, sheen on the bottom black lip, and even two small saliva bubbles. Very cute.

Depending on the age of the house, I wonder if it was once a coal room. Coal routinely shoveled in through the window, stored in the room, but then sealed off when the house was modernized. Just an idea but creepy lil wondow nonetheless!

Over the past ten days, I transitioned my mother to the hospital to wait for a long-term care bed. It was a lot of work and I'm entirely spent on every level, but I have ZERO idea about anything happening on the political front! ✌️😆 #blessed

Ours did not have any peek out points in the hat, but rather a ladder that went nowhere, and I used it as a way to escape the calamity of other children. 😆

I had a similar experience at the library in the fall. Likely not to the same degree, but it caused me to wonder where we are headed when the library is no longer a quiet refuge. Same for coffee shops.

I find this isn't on people's radar? I am fortunate to have a clinic; I called a month ago to inquire. Had my shot the following Monday. It's likely I never had a booster since my first. Vaccinations being made available to people on a large scale is a big deal. 😳

I've been saying this since he started flip flopping in early February and it has only gotten more laughable since. The guy and his minions are playing an obvious game. What's worse is that everyone keeps saying he's so stupid. In many ways, yes, but he absolutely knows what he's doing here.

I have nothing to back this up (because yeah, the Internet is not providing much) but it was few. One is too many, but I recall 2 or 3 at the time of completion—which I thought to be a low number for such a monumental construction.

This isn't surprising. Husband and I joked months ago that armed guards was the next step to protect their bottom line. We rarely shop there anymore because of how surveilled and oppressive it feels. Shopping has been made to feel like a criminal activity. 🚨

The hardest part of the process was getting through the X security to download our content and deactivate. In the end it was VERY satisfying. Five stars. Highly recommend.

I started to look into getting our business off X in the summer. I contacted a colleague who heads the parent social for the org. Their opinion was understanding and said it would be fine to do so. When I broached it with my boss, she was like, "Yep! That's ok with me." ✅

Please everyone—realize you’d need to be superhuman to withstand this onslaught intact. Be kind to yourself and others and know that the very fact we are registering this all is a sign of life and decency. And we can and will tap into that common source of energy.

I did a bunch of cartoons lampooning president dipshit back during the first term of pre-dystopia. I won't be drawing any new, but I might as well repost these.

A cartoon of a slimey green alient with three eyes, four mouths, and six tenticals holding a mega phone and pulling off a trump mask, yelling with all of it's mouths: WHO'S YOUR DADDY!

This is unfortunate. I am guilty of not masking when I should be (to protect myself) but I still appreciate the maskers. Questioning it today validates the silly argument that they didn't protect us at all when they were most needed.

Visiting my mom this weekend and staying in a hotel. Lovely spot—my favourite, in fact. Sitting, having my coffee, and doing a bit of work when I hear housekeeping staff knocking on doors down the hall. What do I do? I immediately tidy the room like the guilt-riddled, middle-aged woman I am. 😂🏆

View from my seat on the little sofa in the hotel suite. Overlooks the park Square just outside.

I'd like to point out that your old status will not be determined by physiological factors before language. Your usage of "damp cold" and "acting up something fierce," has put you in another category. Congratulations! 😂 #initiationcomplete

Today's Cross Country Check Up on CBC Radio is, unfortunately, a very clear example of how completely clueless and unprepared almost all Canadian and American journalists and journalism institutions are to deal with the new Trump presidency.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.
