Shenanigans 🇨🇦

My gender identity matches my biology, but god damn, every time I look at men being shit on the Internet it confirms that I don't fit the "man" shaped hole in the cultural cutlery drawer.

Today’s doodling in soapstone turned into a flower pendant

Putting aside the Christmas bochet mead to age now. In 6 months it’ll be sweet and warm and delicious.

If you have to explain your joke to a judge, it was never a joke.

Today’s weird craft. Heart shaped soapstone whiskey stones.

If Dark humour is healthy, this will heal your soul.

As a science fiction writer I really fucking resent tech bros for ruining the phrase "artificial intelligence." 80 years of it being all about cool androids and interesting computers destroyed by five years of "Spicy autocorrect making everything shittier for money." NEVER FORGIVE.

Capitalism really doesn't like my extended debt free status. They keep sending me offers of credit, and they get bigger every time. MF'er, you taught me not to want things in the 90's. It's way too late now.

Feels like the right time to bring back this gem.

Today’s weird craft is making fire-starter logs from used coffee grounds and scrap wax #camping #goblincrafts

Back in 2013, CJ Cherryh got in touch to compliment this strip of mine. I need to print and frame that email... www.dorktower.com/2013/05/14/p...

I took a 4 day weekend to celebrate my birthday, now I gotta drag my ass back into the office. I begin to see the appeal of running away and becoming a bog-witch.

Not all of Canada is a winter wonderland.

Deep in the forest, a forgotten temple ruin overgrown by moss is the final resting place of an old god. A stone is heaved aside, sunlight warms ancient flagstones. An offering is placed on the altar - salt, bread, oil. A prayer is said: "If you can help, do so. If not, persist." It is answered.

I got “Galvanic” That type of year already.

Let's be very clear. White supremacists and neo-nazis should never feel safe anywhere. And Canada should absolutely be planning a few things to add to the checklist.

When they ask me what radicalized me

Happy Tibbs Eve!

How often do you check the news to see if he's dead?

The single best piece of art ever. Made by @muskratjohn.bsky.social

I felt like doodling in wool this weekend. (Sorry for the pun) Anyways, here's some mushrooms.

Thanks for your service to the community❤️🏳️‍🌈🥰

Does anyone *Not* have The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald stuck in their head right now?

One of the befits of working for the public service is the annual flu shot. Microdose a virus to get the day going and back to the desk with a fresh cup of tea. #PunkAsFuck

Frodo wakes. ‘Where am I?’ ‘In the House of Elrond. It is ten o’clock in the morning. The morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’ ‘Gandalf!’ ‘Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’

You will have to pull the Oxford comma from my cold, dead, hands.

Back to the picket line again tomorrow. We've moved to mediation, so maybe this will get done by Halloween? #BCGEU

I mean, if you let me go about my morning routine, I'm highly likely to make you a coffee and possibly breakfast, but you gotta let me enjoy my morning rituals without too many outside demands.

1/5 Elon Musk and David Sacks are attacking Wikipedia again. They say they will replace it with “Grokipedia.” Why? Because quick, free, independent fact-checking is their enemy. They cannot control it. And that terrifies them

#BCGEU the disrespect from the employer is unbelievable

Only 90 days till Xmas. You're welcome.

22912 steps today. I should picket in the spring for that summer bod. #BCGEU

First day on the picket line #BCGEU it was mostly amusing chaos, though we did accidentally shut down the central branch library. With hundreds of picketers milling about in circles a couple meters from the Library staff entrance, it was bound to happen. They were cool and joined us in solidarity.

Today I grabbed a bit of scrap marble, did an easy pattern on it with wax, dunked it in a solution of acid, and started figuring out how to etch stone. It worked surprisingly well. Now to do some proper sculpting.

Time to recharge the megaphone and bake some cookies. Just got notice that my office is out on strike as of Tuesday. #BCGEU

The "theory" is overwhelmingly supported by the evidence, which continues to be updated and refined by ongoing discovery and analysis.

Just finished "record of a spaceborn few" by becky chambers. I think this is the 5th book of hers I've read this year, and "the galaxy, and the ground within", is lined up to read next. This hopepunk stuff is just what my ongoing existential crisis needed. @beckychb013.bsky.social

Is that an ART??! 🥨🥨🥨

here's a nice mushroom

The problem with a soapstone doodle is it never stops being a WIP. I’ll be working on something else and along the way this little guy suddenly gets hooves and fuzzy legs

I've been thinking about how to de-emphasize the American perspective in my news and social media. It's more about adding accounts that are focused on other things, and It's a big world with a lot of good in it.
