Nova Scotia is clearing American alcohol off their shelves by Feb 4. One of my friends said as a "drinking province", we'll hit 'em where it hurts. Nova Scotia has great local wines, spirits, and beer - so easy to support local in this area!

So Olands Breeery hosted Pollievre this weekend for a photo op? 🤮 (puts case of Olands back on the shelf and opts for Propeller Galaxy, instead)….

I don't know if anyone is still on tiktok, but watching Hillmantok University grow has been incredible. Thanks to the amazing Dr Barlowe who started a movement by accident. People are thriving to learn. As a white person it's an honour to shut up & listen to these amazing Black educators.

I used to work for a tech company where some of my coworkers supported me by also putting their pronouns in their Slack names. One of the CEOs said it was too busy & made everyone take them out. I will forever post my pronouns, even if you don't want to address me as such, because I know who I am.

Also my partner said the staff at Beauty Lab + Laser were sooooo nice!

A business card for Heather Gay the owner of Beauty Lab + Laser in SLC,Utah, in front of a black t-shirt that says Beauty Lab + Laser.

My partner travelled to Utah for work & I sent him on a side mission to Beauty Lab + Laser just to get a pic. Not only did they get a pic, they brought me back a t-shirt & Heather Gays business card! I'm gonna frame it. 😭 #bravo #rhoslc

tl;dr: I'm painting again, yay!
