Just heard pp is going to be in town tonight in #yxe and wondering about setting up a lawn chair parade welcome for him. I’d happily line the road from the airport with folks giving him the finger. Yup I’m at that point in 2025. Whose in?

Hey 🇪🇸 #Spain 👋🏼 Thanks for the beautiful yummy oranges! These taste so much better than anything from USA or isreal which were my other two options at my local 🇨🇦 store.

Tasted like a lovely mix of orange and grapefruit and had this beautiful bits of red in it. 😋

Website updated with some new decal works for you to check out! These have been so fun to play around with as I learn to use decals. Working with these upcycled pieces means that I can also keep costs down. Art needs to be accessible to everyone.

Thank you! I totally get the anti ai. I struggle back and forth about ai all the time. I hope you find a way to have it positively impact your work.

Thanks. And that’s the thing we Canadians know that most Americans would never think this way! I adore my American friends. They are family.
