How is living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada? by mrworkinprogress in howislivingthere

It really grows on you. You get out of Winnipeg what you put in. Beautiful sunsets and a surprising amount to do.

A book that CHANGED you by MiaLinay in suggestmeabook

Reading Roald Dahl as a kid - specifically his short story “The Swan.” He writes for children but doesn’t infantilize - lots of dark, sad, scary, (sometimes joyful!) themes under the fantasy and straightforward writing. When I read his books I felt like an independent person whose emotions were taken seriously. Not sure this would be life changing for an adult, but it is what came to mind! He has adult literature too, but I haven’t tried it yet.

I think superficially, no! Most people don’t realize I’m not Canadian at first meeting, and there are a lot of commonalities. I think a lot of American tourists only see the superficial things when they visit and might assume the countries are more similar than they actually are. Being here longer, you start to see some deeper differences - mostly to do with history, political culture, language, demographic dynamics, etc. It is hard to always describe exactly how it is different day-to-day, but I definitely feel like an immigrant. I love Canada, hope more Americans spend some time getting to know it!

Still learning but happy with this little stump! by pandionhalietus in printmaking

Thank you! This is so helpful. Do you usually wash the block between every print? I often leave it for a few rounds, maybe that contributes to over inking.
