Finally it's 34 minutes before bedtime, I can start drawing now

Ken Sim ran on a competent and compassionate approach to government. But with this leaked plan, we see his true colours: don't house and help people - ban the housing they need, get them out of the city, and single out Indigenous people. He's only "sorry" he was caught. (1/2)

Ken Sim says he's "sorry" for his leaked plan to displace Indigenous people from the DTES. But he's not backing down from his plans to ban new supportive housing, or to ram through rezonings to benefit specific landowners. He's only sorry he was caught. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/03/13/v...

it feels like most of my time is spent debating whether or not I want bangs again

I had to socialize today. 🤢

Savoring a maple candy, playing co-op enshrouded with my bestie, watching Canadian & American hockey teams pummel each other. I never watch hockey, what's happened to me?

What happened to common decency? What happened to caring for one another? What happened to wanting to make a better world for everyone in it? Compassion is strength. Love means more than hate. I will chant this till my dying day.

i like being an artist because i have a lot of stupid ideas. then i can turn them into reality and inflict them on everyone else

Never again.

Imagine it's 2007, you tell your past self that the "you're fired" guy from trash tv is becoming the president of the US for a second time, and everyone is up in arms because he's probably gonna start a trade war with Canada. I wouldn't believe me. I wouldn't want to. But come Monday? Here we go.

The trouble with having dyslexia & learning from reading books is that I will inevitably have really strange pronunciations to words. For the longest time I thought labyrinth was pronounced la-brinth & no one knew what I was talking about when I mentioned the masterpiece by Jim Henson.

Today I vended at a Métis Winter Solstice market/event. I got to spend the shortest day of the year surrounded by my culture, and the people that I love. Even if life is hard sometimes, I am blessed to be a member of my community. I am thankful I am Métis.

Today, Dec. 21st, from noon until four, Phae (@phaezahara.com) and Steph will have a table at the Winter Solstice Indigenous Market at Mamawapowin. There will be the market, Christmas crafts, bison stew and bannock, storytelling, and more! More info in the link below: mcsbc.org/event/winter...

#valentino culturally appropriating Métis/Dene beadwork may seem like a small thing in light of the state of the world, but I assure you, to very real current Métis/Dene artists it's huge & another unnecessary devastation & cruelty to us. If you want Indigenous beadwork, get an Indigenous artist.

Yesterday we went on a Christmas train and rode the trestles, and I had the time of my life. Thank you #spiritofsummerland That 3716 steam locomotive has my heart. 🚂🎄❤️

Currently trying to paint a sash and it ain't going well. Might scream and run into the woods idk.

It's just not Christmas till lgr & the Christmas clone does a festive video. Man lost most his house and he still gives us joy this year! 🎄🥰

We filmed this on a windy, late-late summer afternoon at the Osoyoos Desert Centre (desert.org). Dad wrote the lyrics to this song with Dale Ziech performing it.

This video was created by my son Chad Zahara. It is a cinematic ballad which follows a cowboy's journey as he faces the end of his trail, and who is yearning to reclaim a piece of the life he once knew. youtu.be/OPtI5ugmJC8?...

Watching Danny Gonzalez with my bestie while he monshes pickle chips & I inhale shrimp chips. Life is good.

I had such a fun time doing my first indoor market. I got to talk to some very nice ladies who recognized my sash right away, and one of them even called it a Michif sash. 🥹 I also got to scare a child by taking my elf ear off before realizing they were too little to understand it wasn't real. 😅

Looking for some great holiday gifts? Come visit us at the Westbank Lions Community Centre where Phae (@phaezahara.com) and Steph are exhibiting their beautiful work. Phae has her handmade Michif beadwork and Steph has her rad beeswax candles. We're here until 7:30pm tonight!

As a gamer I have the ability to dual wield paintbrushes.

Tw: On the off chance any other Métis might be bothered by this; in the movie "The dead don't hurt" a man is shown hanged by his sash. The sash is in the L’Assomption fingerwoven style.

I love charlotte cut seed beads. I do not love the price of charlotte cut seed beads.

Something about making beadwork specifically for my culture just hits differently. These kinds of pieces are just connected to the deepest part of my heart. Beading is medicine.
