If Americans boycotting Tesla is domestic terrorism, I can't wait to see what we get labelled...

There's family bonding time in that nebula!

Oh! I had one just like that when I was a kid!

I see the same at NoFrills as well, but if you look at the actual produce stickers instead of the bin labels it will tell you the specific country.

Maybe stepping back slowly could help. Like if there are three AI tools that you usually rely on, this week only use two of them, then the next week only use one, etc.

I'm not sure about online sources, but this is a solid reference book: https://editors.ca/publications/editing-canadian-english/

Oh yes, I see now!

Moss stitch is a great one to learn if you ever want to do things like blankets or scarves. Visually it's about as dense as single crochet, but has a lot more drape. It's a favourite of mine! https://easycrochet.com/moss-stitch-crochet-tutorial/

I don't know why I love this one so much but I really do. It's got some liminal space vibes.

That's adorable! I have no patience at all for doing amigurumi so I always find things like this extra impressive :)

It looks like maybe a variant of moss stitch for the body/feathers? Hard to tell from the photo.

Intimacy coordinators aren't explaining how sex works to the actors, but helping to make sure that they're comfortable with each other & what they're being asked to do. They're analogous to stunt coordinators in that way.

Part of this is helping actors to work through or find accommodations when they could be running up against situations that could trigger old traumas. So if one party has a history of assault, for example, the intimacy coordinator will work with them and their scene partner to make sure that what they're acting out doesn't mimic/mirror their experience.

Does that make sense?

 

Every April, poets around the world set themselves a challenge: to write one poem a day for all thirty days of the month. I've participated three or four times now, and though I don't usually manage to do all thirty, I've found it a really fruitful practice & have published a number of pieces that started as NaPoWriMo drafts.

For anyone interested, here are some helpful resources:

I'd love to hear if anyone else has participated before -- and if you haven't, why not make this the year you give it a go?
