Meanwhile in Canada: Forget crop circles, we have the mystery of a teddy bear belly button. cbc.ca/news/canada/mo…
Related: Sometimes journalism is a strange gig.

@katemckenna8’s TL for a sample of influx of reader theories, a making-of pic that does not include the belly button, & this snowy version of beating the pavement for sources.
I know you’ve been waiting for an update.

Spoiler: No answer yet, but we can eliminate some possibilities.
I can’t believe I missed the update!

Resolution to your snow-bear belly button theories:

Nothing gives me quite as severe East Coast/West Coast culture shock as how vigilantly I need to turn down plastic bags.

Not even the snow or ‘chew the air’ humidity or brick buildings.
“Ah, I see you’re purchasing a single apple, have verbally requested no bags, & are holding an empty reusable bag. Clearly, I shall double-bag that fucker while you pay! You dare remove apple & Fitch bags?! RAAAAGE & pushy insistence that plastic bags are essential accessories.”
Actual verbatim conversation:
“No bags, please.”
“Are you sure? I’ll just bag it, it’s no problem.”
“No thank you, I don’t want a bag.”
“Nah, I’ll bag it just in case.”
“No, please.”
“Here you go! You’ll want the bag.”
*screams internally while unpacking bag*
“Just take the bag!”

Meanwhile in BC:
February means #OpusDailyPractice, our local fine art supply store organizing prompts & meetup (opusartsupplies.com/odp)

I’m far from home, but I have a sketchpad & pens and I’m still trying to be less shy about my art, so let’s do this. 💚 Border & Riley #234 pad, Pigma micron pens in a variety of sizes, and a collection of grey, blue, purple, & red Copic markers
1. Kathmandu, Nepal.
I’m working with pen-only (#inktober redux?) & not fussing over scale as all my #geology #sciart has absurd vertical exaggeration.

...but I couldn’t accept the combo of a very small valley & the metamorphic pattern feeling more “Christmas” than “rock.” Partially-patterned ink drawingFully-patterned ink drawingIncomplete first draft, complete second draft of a detailed geologic cross section of Kathmandu valley in Nepal
2. Tehran, Iran
This feels like approximately a zillion variations of sedimentary textures (alluvial beds).

I had fun playing with miniscule variations in pen widths (💚 those microns!) for today’s #OpusDailyPractice #geology #sciart Ink drawing of a geologic cross section

You are one brave little dragon for venturing out with me today, Puff. Plush dragon looking out a train window at a snowy forest, one paw raised the the glass
Puff is bewitched by the lovely sunset skies. Plush dragon gazing up at golden clouds on pale blue sky between skyscrapersPlush dragon backlit by puffy pink clouds on pale blue sky, bare tree branches and skyscraper tips in background
Whatcha searching for in the library, Puff? Plush dragon scrambling on books of catalogues of publications by national geologic surveys

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.

1/ Thread. Digging into the dispute between #SaudiArabia and #Canada

theguardian.com/world/2018/mar…
2/ The #Illuminati controlled mass media would have you believe this "all started with one tweet".

The narrative they are pushing: Canada is standing firm in its principles of gender equality and is sticking up to the big bad Saudi Arabia.
3/ Trudeau's foreign policy expert defenitely knows a thing or two about #SaudiArabia
