There is no serious justification for Alberta separation besides wanting to permanently entrench us as a silent field of oil and water for the US to suck dry.

Palaeoplatyceros hispanicus- a muntjac-like deer from the Middle Miocene of Spain. Numerous antlers found on Otero Hill in Palencia allow to trace the age-related dimorphism of these animals. The illustration shows an adult, possibly even old, animal and a younger deer in the background.

The murder of Renee Good by ICE is an atrocity that must face justice. Thankfully, accurate and clear video footage shows that this was a cold-blooded murder. This iteration of the print pays homage to that.

1st painting of the year! Was haunted by the image of two gentlemen stripping down to enter a magical little gingerbread bathhouse in the woods. It looks small from the outside, inside is a gigantic labyrinth equipped with hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, massage pods, & mazes corridors. 😈

Just a fun picture showing us what appears to be an entire medieval street going snowball crazy.
Men, women, kids, everyone joins in.
Even funnier detail is that the artist doesn't do smiles.

Should you refuse to show compassion because you believe it would make you appear weak, then you have misunderstood what strength is. It is honorable to have concern for others, to show empathy and to offer aid to someone in distress. To rebuke this is cowardice, not strength.

Bravo, Skate Canada. Honestly, boycotts from more sporting organizations over these trans discrimination laws would be a good idea to put pressure on our government.
