@penpencilbrush Long live public libraries!!
Mine has access to sound/video recording studios, all sorts of creative softwares, Linda (online courses), Mango language learning, Kanopy, and a gazillions of events, talks, workshops, concerts, film screenings. And all this for free of course. They even got rid of late fees a few years ago. A real community hub serving the people.
If you don't already, use your public library! They're awesome and they need to be used to stay relevant.

I support this and 100% agree with it!

新年快乐！马年大吉！马上开心！
Happy Year of the Fire Horse!
For the occasion, I made a little "study" on the character 馬, which means horse.
Read here https://art.echoingfrog.ca/year-of-the-fire-horse-triptych for a meaning of the piece.

New poem, inspired by the clear cutting in Stanley Park, Vancouver, and more generally all the destruction happening in the world right now. My way of grieving I guess.

And if you want to see what's happening in the park, I posted a video (it's on Instagram though) : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUxDw9IDk58/

The Grieving Forest

Inspired by Nature series #4 I can hear you cry Underneath your bark My heart ripped out As they pull your roots In...

@juliancday fair enough. It's indeed crazy expensive here, and I'm so grateful to have been renting an apartment for 13 years and having a rent that is now considered "cheap" compared to current prices. For sure if I had to move out, I'd probably have to move out of Vancouver entirely :(

@mdiplo Cet article "Faire le vide" est absolument excellent ! Et essentiel. Merci, comme toujours, pour votre travail journalistique d'une qualité irréprochable.

@CStamp Le Monde Diplomatique @mdiplo has partner editions in 27 languages. A gem for international news and geopolitical analysis. It's a monthly newspaper, so it takes the time to go deep and analyse the context. It's an independent paper (they rely almost entirely on their subscriptions and sales and it's partly owned by its readers). They made a piece in the January issue (out about a week ago) entitled "M. Trump, pirate des Caraïbes" (Mr Trump, pirate of the Caribbean).
