A definite sign of ageing is that you cannot impress me with "over 20 years" anymore. Am I expected to think this sauce is ancient, because it's as old as Nelly Furtado's Maneater?

Here's some cover art I designed for @puzzlesnacks.bsky.social upcoming set of Patchwork puzzles in support of immigrant rights, Patchwork Country. Excited to solve this set soon!

Busy day yesterday but we opened the new exhibit, At the Knees of our Ancestors, the story of Black Canadians and the slave trade in Canada. It was a busy few months and an even busier lasy two weeks and after celebrating with the team, it’s recovery time! More on the exhibit soon.

Couldn’t decide on whether to write: “new drag name just dropped” or “how to describe my relationship if I get with a Dutchman” so I’m just going to do both.

There's this user on the Winnipeg subreddit who recognizes notable Winnipeggers on Fridays, and god I wish they could feature more people of colour. There was like, maybe, one? Maybe two? Out of 50+?

I haven't heard about one of the guys who runs Basecamp being terrible in a hot minute but it looks like his "haha we made a racist list as a joke its not that srs" is even more terrible and we should have seen that coming
