A slightly enchanted thing just happened-had the door open bc have been gardening and a WREN hopped in to the house, had a quick look around, spotted a deceased spider in the doorframe, had it as a snack and then…left. What the heck 🪶

Payton Tolle is an absolute gem 😭

This is what my nightmares are like after I take too much cough syrup

Tactical Urbanism: White Duct Tape creates a “protected” bike lane at the intersection where Louisa was killed.

Tried to figure out which LeGuin work this quote was from and had to scroll past an annoying AI hallucination. (It's actually from LeGuin's The Lathe of Heaven)

He liked the way she began her fierce, scornful sentences so often with a weak, conciliatory 'well.' She cut the ground out from under them before they ever got going, let them hang unsupported in the void. She had courage, great courage.

The transformation of Paris keeps me hopeful.

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

It makes me so genuinely happy when I stumble across an artist or writer on bluesky I used to follow on twitter, especially when I haven't seen their artwork now for years.

HAMILTON FRIENDS: We represent a 17 year-old cyclist who suffered a spinal fracture after being hit by a motorist on Aug 25, 6 p.m, Mohawk Rd & East 37th. Driver did not call police to the scene (our client was in shock) so we don't have contact information for witnesses who stepped in to assist.

Forest fire - 'You'll choke too'

My first ever embroidered forest fire. This is a response to widespread climate apathy and selfishness I've been feeling around me.

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

and its damn hard work #birds #nature #comics #art

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I love biking through the worst, most aggressive five lane stroads and waiting an extra hour for a delayed train after a relaxing day of jury duty.

googling an actor who’s played queer characters a lot and seeing they keep their personal life totally private

It’s completely legal to sing “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” to the tune of “WKRP in Cincinnatiiiiii.” No one can stop you.

He he! Ha ha! Can it be? A visitor in my workshop? How can I help you, sweet Guartist? I have candy treats to spare, if you come in search of happiness!

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a 10/10 must-see movie. Gillian Anderson how are you eternally so sexy?? 😭

A phrase that I repeat to myself when I am disappointed by the casual cruelty of the world is "well, what do you expect out of people?" And honestly, it's done wonders for my mental health.

Television used to MEAN something in this country. 🧐

I'm funnier when my mental health is fucked so if you've been enjoying my recent posts you should be ashamed of yourself

My most cringe trait is I like this and think it's good. "Do You Want to Date My Avatar?" would activate me like a sleeper agent.

This is huge, & it’s proof of Day’s continued savvy & devoted core audience. Day is undersung in a lot of the history of things she championed (like Actual Play) I do want to note some interesting caveats in the history of crowdfunding (small thread)

I think it's obvious why Baba is a nickname for Rorschach

Genuinely confused why Karen Bass and her team wouldn’t wait 24 more hours and post a video of the pothole filled??? Hey Simone, we couldn’t do anything. Maybe something will happen tomorrow, who knows!
