We're ok. This is just life. Gotta lock in and focus now because this hit at the worst possible moment (amidst processing the 2nd printing) and it may nuke our ability to keep self publishing physical books. Pausing physical orders until we are on firmer ground. All orders still happening!

Your dad sounds a lot like my uncle who’s only 10 years older than me 1972 and a total dad and was always like an older brother and played every cool video game with me and even let me win sometimes (rarely) and he’s a literal genius saving the world with his big smart brain. And I miss him dearly.

Your dad sounds awesome. Our dad’s are the same age. But I’m Elder Millennial 1982 😅 That Gen X/Boomer Cusp, at least my dad being a Cdn west to east coaster - are something else. Very kind hearted, a little cut to the chase no BS. But, will give clothes off his back if he knows something is wrong

Trying to decide on sky background colour. Leave white and colour in the burp green with a light green gouache wash? Maybe a light pink and red sailors warning morning?

One of the paintings that was stolen was this one, framed. It’s big - like 15x20”. I’ve been tasked with putting together an inventory, which is an awful thing to do. I’m grateful that I have five paintings in my apartment on my walls, but for some reason I stored this one.

If you *happen* to see this painting in a real shop or something, please let Julia know. It was stolen from her and it would be nice if it was found and returned. #art #artsky

If it’s anything like the cold that’s run through our house it could be anywhere from 2 days my daughter, 4 days Husband, 1.5 weeks son and I’m basically at walking pneumonia level but finally recovering at 3.5 weeks. Take ALL the rest and fluids that you need!! Be the sick baby you need to be.

If you have been here since the beginning, you might recognize this version of Bruce resketched in the same style w/ 2 more years of skills; as well, a lack of caring about perceived limitations, letting go of knowing that it’s not my best work & being ok that it’s not meant to be. -She told herself

An arachnophobic accepted the apologies of The Spiders for scaring her as a child. There has been several truce attempts over the years and terms of agreements to agree to avoid… But I am now on a multi season relationship with a wild jumping spider We are friends #LBC #alongcameaspider #spider

Oh... it's Banned Books Week again too. I feel like I should say something, but every year IDK what to say. I guess all I can say for sure is I have not gotten rich from the banned & challenged books, so if you think it's great being banned coz more people will buy your book... you're mistaken.

There is also a big difference between a 265k salary on their list and a ceo making 500k and up. Seems they missed a few brackets IMO

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
yes we will totally be fine. But it’s does make a difference for our family where one of us is on disability, we raise two neurodivergent kids one can’t get funding and we pay out of pocket for everything for all of our stuff. While I don’t disagree we will be fine I say go after .01%

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
And isn’t that just how it goes for disabled people. If you’re lucky enough to get accommodated, people are going to let you know about it and maybe even let you know how unfair it is and then they are going to make sure you know how grateful you should be #accomodation #emotionalabuse #disability

Sometimes I think about how much I gave before I burned out (sometimes) and I know I’ll never get it back and if I do, but I try not to stay in that place for long, I litterally can’t - I’m reminded of how much is being done to accommodate me. How much people are going out of their way to help me.
100
Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
I guess I keep coming back to accommodations. And why is it so hard to accommodate people. I think it’s really hard for some people because it’s tit for tat behaviour. What I give, I must get back. And it’s childish.

Even now, after everyone is beginning to get correct diagnosis’. The ableism continues. Just try harder. Just fit in. Or this person can do it why can’t they? The right questions seem to still be lacking? What does the person look like that’s struggling in the moment? Maybe it’s the nurse in me?

Living in families/friend circles with a large percentage of undiagnosed ADHD, Autism, PDA, undiagnosed Bipolar 1 & 2 in women & men, with chronic health conditions like EDS and hypermobility & other autoimmune conditions felt like a family gaslighting each others symptoms with internalized ableism

Emotional abuse is confusing to recover from. I think for the average person to recognize or maybe willing to point out is difficult for many of us who’ve experienced it throughout childhood, friendships, as well have participated/reacted in aspects of it too, not realizing what it actually was #LBC

Well it seems they are going after professionals. Do they know how much Engineers make? Doctors, top nurses. I’m not sure on the $265k tax bracket in this province with the cost of living. I think everyone should pay taxes & fair share but could we not go after the billionaires specifically tier

Does that mean we do nothing-No! We at the top of this privilege need to recognize what we have, help those with less, do what we can $ and help keep the institutions and supports in place for everyone so people in the .01% billionare class stop trying to buy everything up & drive up costs #LBC 🧼📦

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Like many others in Canada and in expensive Provinces we are one Layoff, one denial of disability of LTD away from losing that privilege and status. This is NOT the same as the worries of a .01 percent class. #LBConversations #onepercent

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Unfortunately for me, my career was altered by illness and we found like many others, Disability doesn’t care about demographics. I’m disabled, no longer can work as a nurse. I am so thankful for my partners “secure” engineering job. But we are not the same as as billionaire class. #LBConversations

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It took a long time for our family to get to a point to be considered in the top demographic of “working class” as an engineer and nurse. We are extremely privileged to have had the careers and opportunities we got. #LBConversations

I question if it’s a tactic from the actual rich people, the .01 percenters - billionaire class to keep working class people and those who can’t work Divided. #onepercent #epsteinclass #billionares #LBConversations #canadianstoriea

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
When people throw around the term 1 %’s, I always question if they actually check the ranges of incomes included for a population? How high is the cost of living? Does the highest income match and is in line with inflation? Just say Billionaires. .01% #LBConversations #canadianstories #onepercent

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It’s the billionaire class we need to be focusing on on. Not a combined family making 250-350k in this economy.

Nicole Anne. @nicolewalker.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
I think also for us to keep using the term 1%’ers is being used to keep us divided. That’s how big the divide is now. Those within the 1% being grouped in the billionaire class but could litterally be a two household income family of an engineer and nurse is definitely not the same thing. .01%ers
