- Spent the day exploring Robert Burnaby Park, where Vancouver artist Nickie Lewis spent most of 2020 quietly installing natural sculptures in the woods. We found eight. This is Emerald the Dragon.
- A group of Black hockey players just flexed their collective power and forced the NHL to do something real, and fuck, that's actually amazing, I never thought I'd see that
- The ferry to Galiano just announced that they forgot the foot passengers. Never seen a ferry do U-turn before
- Downside to the snow: the roads are terrible. Upside: the Vancouver Aquarium's sea otters got to have a rare "snow ball enrichment session" today. LOOK
00:00 - People talk about homelessness in Vancouver like the folks experiencing it aren’t the victims
- Imagine if instead of sending VPD to clear encampments, we sent their budget
- Replying to @HarrisonMooneyThis is the artist, Nickie Lewis. She was very kind. We ran into her while looking for the last sculpture on our list and she was helpful enough to lead us right to it.
- Replying to @HarrisonMooneyThis is the gentle giant, Mr. Troll. He’s massive and just off the main path. I can’t believe we missed him the first time. But these sculptures really do blend in with the forest — probably because that’s what they’re made of. Anyway. Now you know. /thread
- If you think the Canucks’ treatment of Bruce Boudreau is bad, wait until you find out how the owners treat temporary foreign workers
- Replying to @HarrisonMooneyThese are the Ewoks. We found them after getting lost. Lewis has a web site, the Wizards Makery, with a map to help you find everything. But the Ewoks aren’t listed; they move about the forest. So we’re lucky we got turned around.
- Replying to @HarrisonMooneyThe sculptures are all made of twig and twine. They're mostly tucked away off the main paths, hidden along smaller trails, so if you don't know they're there, you might walk right past them. This is Lilith, the Sleeping Fairy.
- Just a reminder that Kamala isn’t half-Black and half-Indian. She’s Black and Indian. The rhetoric of halfness is designed to disenfranchise. You are all of everyone who made you
- Often we talk about the erasure of Black women like it's some abstract thing. It's not. It's a literal, intentional act. Removing Meghan Markle's name from her own son's birth certificate is a jaw-dropping bit of malice, but honestly, it's so typical.
