The snow today is beautiful. Yes, it's April but the snow will melt and the crocus, daffodils and tulips will welcome the moisture.

Oh wow, a shell stitch granny square. This is the first time I'm seeing one of these. If you're curious about how to make one (like I am!) there's a YouTube tutorial here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI4U...

I feel uncomfortable when I don't have a craft project with me. It's like a fidget toy or maybe a favourite (but generic) stuffed animal. Today's project is a Canadian flag that I'm hooking on burlap.

My friend Henry (who was also my student) & I decided to create some joy in –20°C weather in the Yukon and share it with you all. He is in grade 5 now. We are sending joy, hope, and positivity.

As a blind dude, your images mean nothing to me without an alt-text description. I know it’s a pain & I have zero expectations of you using this #Accessibility tool so thoughtfully provided by #BlueSky but I appreciate every effort. It doesn’t have to be The Great Gatsby but please include me 😎

I'm pretty good with music from the last 10 years because I ride in the car with my kid. Those one word bands from the 90s, I don't know their music and don't understand how they could write whole songs but only come up with one word names #kidding
Intern was teasing me about being Gen X and said, “You probably never even heard of Dua Lipa!”
Oh please. Everyone knows about that language app with the stupid owl.

Good tips - and evidence that DEI helps everyone
We are problem solvers, contingency planners, and experts at adapting to a world that wasn’t made for us. This is why #disabled voices belong at the heart of every movement: because we already know how to navigate a world that tells us we don’t belong.
Survival makes us problem solvers...

Disabled people are built for resistance. Our health challenges may make it difficult to withstand stress & upheaval, but we’re skilled at problem solving, contingency planning & adapting to a world that isn’t build for us. We are adept at survival

For my northern latitudes friends: a reminder that the winter is passing and there is more daylight every day to enjoy. We did not need headlamps for our 6:30 walk this morning. Last month, it was pitch dark.
