For 42 years, Comrags has been a mainstay of Canadian fashion. In August 2025, they announced they would be winding down operations, and in a beautiful gesture, Joyce and Judy chose to donate their overstock of textiles to support the Textile Museum.

A poster for the Textile Museum of Canada's fabric sale, with roughly quilted pieces scattered about. The sale is March 27-28th 2026 from noon to 5pm, and tickets are pay-what-you-wish. The Textile Museum's address is 55 Centre Avenue, Toronto ON M5G 2H5. Comrags gave us bolts & bolts of fabric to sell when they closed, and we've cut some of it into 2-3 metre lengths for grab & go and also have some still on the bolt that can be cut to order.

Pencil drawing of a rather elegant fox/raven hybrid creature.
And good afternoon.
Over the top for the next Lord Dunsany art.
Another exceedingly detailed and epic illustration for a two page story. His work deserves everything I can throw at it plus probably rather a lot.
Can't show you though, so here is a stunt Kaw.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain thatβs designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are βjust circling backβ to see if we can βmove the needleβ on βkey initiativesβ? NONE of those things are berries.

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

Pencil drawing of a rabbit with under a fill moon in front of some hops. Moon charms on hat.
Well then. You all were very keen on the mouse witch so perhaps you will also enjoy a rabbit witch.
Yes, those are hops.
No, I'm not sorry.

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage.
A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.
Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.
Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.
In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.
Iftar, Day 19
