I am so sad and angry about the results of the BC election. This election should never have been called. So once again the hubris of a very privileged, white man will cause suffering to the most vulnerable in our province. I'm tired of this ride. It's bullshit. #bcpoli

There are passageways where we cannot help but brush against phantoms. Places that narrow our movements till a spirit scraping is inevitable. Neither dead nor living will yield right of way. This may come from an unknowing of the other's presence or a terrible lack of manners. – #CJosiffe #Ghosts

Today 10/24/26 is a Pythagorean Triple. 10 squared+24 squared=262 squared. 100+576=676. It’s the final Pythagorean Theorem Day of most of our lives, the next one is March 4, 2105. Not sure why it’s making me sad. Maybe bc it’s something most of us will have for the last time. So enjoy the day.

Finished The City We Became, N.K. Jemisin. Completely different from her Broken Earth Trilogy which blew me away it was so good, but the same storytelling mad skills. Added her to my short list of authors to read every scrap they’ve written, they’re so good. #BookSky

[making up ghost story as I go along] but this was no ordinary Honda Accord

1. It's distressing how little Doerkson has engaged with the media. 2. It's unfortunate that the media has not called him to account as much as ducking the press deserves. 3. #2 is heavily influenced by the NDP triggering an election while municipal elections were underway.

Found at Caffe Beano today! Copies are all over Calgary in the free racks. (My art on the cover)

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

I've made cabbage rolls all my life, but I've never made one of these. It's like, final boss cabbage roll....

Who remembers??

An object lesson, from Terry Pratchett. ✨

The waye to figure out yf you are talkinge wyth a cat on the ynternet ys to aske the person you are talkinge to "have you been fedde" and yf thei saye "no my bowle ys alwayes emptye" BINGO you are talkinge wyth a catte on the internet. The Purring Test.

I keep a stuffed eel on my desk as a reminder that our time on this planet is finite. A sort of memento moray.

Also true if you’re in Alberta.

Tell me, #knitsky, who would you knit this for?  My new sweater started as a knit for my son Lucas... but then I decided I needed one too. 😂 So I made one for myself. Now we’re twinning!  Find the pattern: https://stolenstitches.com/products/lucas-sweater-pattern

Isabella Weber is THE economist to be listening to right now “Fascism is rising from frustration, born out of a crisis of livelihoods,” says Weber. “So, we need to reclaim these essentials now.” www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Whatever else, Vancouver now looks forward to ongoing Simlessness.

Whoohoo!

BC politics, y'all. It is strong stuff. www.nsnews.com/local-news/c...

Cropped & boxy sweaters are all the rage, but I don't love how they look on me. Here's my fashion rebellion: a sweater that fits. It has bust shaping, waist shaping, and hip shaping. It doesn't have universal appeal, but I love it, and I know I'll wear it until it wears out. #knitsky #knitting #yarn

A standalone building where all my fibre arts, crafting, and sewing supplies will be on the top floor with delicious skylights and huge windows and all my books will be on the first floor. Imma have a rolling ladder, a fireplace, comfy chairs & a sofa, and a huge desk with a comfy chair. 🥰🥰🥰 🧶

In the northern B.C. town of Valemount, the only person running for mayor has been charged with sexual assault. Which means, per provincial law, he will immediately be placed on leave and replaced with a different member of council as acting mayor until the case is resolved.

Left coast of Canada folks, this is your call to get outside and soak up all the autumn you can. The rains will be here soon enough.

Dear BC, Remember, ABC - Anything But Conservative. Avoid the racism, the grifting, all of it with ABC. 👍💪 Sincerely, me

Sit-com writers always get desperate around season 10.

Really happy I was able to do this Confused Voters Guide for @thetyee.ca ahead of BC’s municipal elections. When is the elxn? Do I have to register? Do I have to vote for every open position? What if I only have one hour to decide who I want to vote for? Find the answers to all these and more!

I'm just so angry all the time about this constant grinding down from these obscenely rich people. Ever seen The Dark Crystal? We are Gelflings and they are Skeksis, and they are draining us, consuming every bit of goodness in the world. 😡😡

The British Fantasy Society does not allow the use of generative AI in any of its spaces. For more on this, read the interview with outgoing chair Shona Kinsella from earlier this year. This position has not changed since last week's AGM. ⬇️ britishfantasysociety.org/its-a-cheat-...

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

There’s a lot going on in the world right now, but also? Kaleidotrope reopens to submissions in four days.

if you don’t have time to watch the full Ossoff/Collins debate, you can simply pull up that clip from Jurassic Park where a Tyrannosaurus Rex eats a crying man on the toilet and you’ll basically get the idea

I finished a thing! It's so soft! Kokon Bleu merino/linen fingering weight single and the Alchemist Tee with long sleeves from Wool & Pine. Really nice to knit design. 👍👍🧶

There are so many good ideas in this thread!

Toronto bike lane removal. When your infrastructure project has huge police protection and the contractors hide the logos on their trucks and gear, you are in the wrong.
