Since today is still the holiday, I thought I could sneak one more Dad brag in, under the wire. At my favorite bookstore, Upstart & Crow on Granville Island, my book is a best seller! 2023 ordained to be my year of imposter syndrome.

The Penrose triangle, or the Penrose tribar, is a triangular impossible object, an optical illusion consisting of an object which can be depicted in a perspective drawing, but cannot exist as a solid object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934.

Climate change killing off entire cultures- “This year, the loss (to extreme weather) set new records. Nearly 50% of the livestock belonging to nomads was killed” “I lost everything. I want to die here." #ClimateCrisis #Kashmir #VanGogh eco-business.com/news/floods…

Floods and early snow risk killing off Kashmir's nomadic culture

The journey to the pastures of the Kashmir hills gets more perilous every year, with sudden downpours and cold snaps causing Gujjar and Bakarwal herders to lose livestock and, sometimes, loved ones.
