Same day as Calgary Pride parade and festival. I’m guessing that the Alberta Government doesn’t need to worry about being double booked. 😂🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Latest paintings. I learned how to paint a robin from In Art Studio in Calgary. And then tried painting my friend Pippin, on my own. Not quite her but looks like a cat.

Another happy reader! Abby thoroughly enjoyed “Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism” by @brittlestar.com . She thinks I should have ordered on Amazon Prime Day and saved $1. I told her we don’t have an Amazon account and we get our books from local bookstore @shelflifebooks.bsky.social .

It been six months since we said goodbye to Maya. I finally finished my small, knitted tribute to her. 🐾🌈
The yarn is from Ancient Arts Fibre. Grey colour is even called Alaskan Malamute.
Pattern from Amanda Berry at Wool Box.

Here’s another “shout out” to a local Calgary store. If you want to try some of the cyanotype photography that I’ve been experimenting with @thecamerastoreinc.bsky.social has the chemicals that I use. The chemicals are locally sourced, as well, from Flic Film.

In Calgary, I order my books from @shelflifebooks.bsky.social .
I deleted my Amazon account in January. It’s great to seek out local stores for items. I have discovered a few gems. 🙂

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

I don’t live in Carlton but I am manifesting a Canada where everyone is respected and human rights are protected.
We can win this Carleton, but only if you stay in line and GO VOTE on Monday, no matter what. Let’s stop Pierre Poilievre.

Poilievre schedules rally in Carleton amid reports he could lose his seat - National | Globalnews.ca
The Conservative leader has represented the rural Ottawa riding since 2004, but faces a determined push by Liberals to unseat him amid slumping polls.

If PP becomes prime minister I won’t just be sad or a little disappointed. I will be terrified. Human rights will be taken away. He does not even hide his plans.
Singh asks if he can buy you a drink. Carney just buys you one. And you never leave your drink unattended around Poilievre.
