Draft for new mural in Chemainus.

Well this didn't age well

@CalltoActivism If anything, this is the moment in history where we either throw out the justice system, or we get justice.

Fauci has already shown his true colors. Is there even appropriate justice for this man?

AI companies are reportedly shredding millions of books after using them to train AI models — tech giants outsource to middlemen to secretly buy up books for training material. https://t.co/o4vedf9R75

Vintage stereomatic 3D viewmaster experiment with guitar.

Needs silver sheet but still interesting.

@unisphere I had a bunch on display at a craft fair unpriced with other items and someone made an offer.

I sold this piece today for $250. Feels appropriate considering time and material costs. The best part was all the images were from discarded junk, waste magazines from the 1940s.

3 months after building the 2nd community garden in Chemainus, 20 new beds are full and the gardens are flourishing.

@MikeHudema The shore on Vancouver Island reeks of dead fish today. I suspect the sea life is being fried with the intense heat.

High degree of bioluminescence all month is unusual in my location this time of year, even farther north as well.

@Kannakamuisama @solmamakwa Do you have any awareness of how fast and unpredictable fire spreads?

Obviously not, instead you insult the legitimate question OP asks, and demonstrate your lack of mental capacity.

@canadianaco @CHEK_News Pull your head out of your ass and think about the repercussions to the environment before you grade my vocal intelligence.

@CHEK_News My seed library has handed out over 7000 seed packages in Chemainus since 2025, led to the development of 2 community gardens, and allowed children free access and space to garden at the library. That’s one library. Why would you ever put a barrier on food security? @gvpl

@paulsaladinomd This is only surface level hope.

Pesticides are absorbed into the fruit from root, leaf, and skin. The soil contains pesticides and the plant absorbs it through nutrients into its cells.

@Dave_Eby No one expected our politicians to be hijacked by corporate zealots who literally sold our country to foreign interests, or that a woke ass leader would destroy any hope of working class home ownership. Do I feel patriotic?

Last nights Aurora on Vancouver Island.

[BookishCat @Felislibrarious]

Seasonal joy.

[BookishCat @Felislibrarious]

@KhalidQadir @rparmar_BC Yes, they do.

[BookishCat @Felislibrarious]

@KhalidQadir @rparmar_BC That would have weight if the workers were local, and the product was profiting Canadians, and sustainable. This is not. We are allowing contractors (foreign and private) to sell at highest cost to outside buyer, or worse, back to us at much higher prices. This is the reality.

Marine expedition uncovers 31 new species in two weeks. https://t.co/pIR4InPLmo

@KhalidQadir @rparmar_BC A Twitter comment t cannot truly capture the mismanagement. We need wood resources yes, but rent will go up either way and the current practices will destroy the forest industry. Biodiversity loss also costs us all more down stream.
