I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Alice Wong, a writer and activist who was born with muscular dystrophy and who fought relentlessly for equal rights and access for people with disabilities, died on Friday. She was 51. nyti.ms/4r9WqEr

No, I did it again! Went to bed at 6pm, woke up at 2am!

Someone give me a Frankenstein/Beauty and The Beast mashup/retelling right now!!

Just remembered that poetry used to be in the Olympics. We should bring that back

While watching Frankenstein, I found the instances of physical touch and affection so interesting. How vital it can be in affirming humanity and relationships.

Watching the new Frankenstein, having studied the history of medicine (within the broader history and philosophy of science), is so fascinating

Easily one of the best anthologies let alone speculative Fiction collections ive ever read

Have you wondered what that Black Canadian SpecFic looks like? Well, the good sis @teresempierre.bsky.social edited this jaun and I'm tryna get to know Black Folks of the Great White North and what makes them fiction! You should also check it out!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the launch of As The Earth Dreams. It was a beautiful night!! 💜🩵🖤

Happy #IReadCanadian Day!

For the last day of Black Speculative Fiction Month, I have a review of As the Earth Dreams: Black Canadian Speculative Stories edited by Terese Mason Pierre. Excellent anthology, must-read. Out now from Spiderline. bookjockeyalex.com/2025/10/31/r...

✨ AWARDS ELIGIBILITY POST TIME! ✨ I published ONE story in 2025: LAST TRAIN FROM DEADWALL is my Weird novelette about diesel-powered skeletons, dinosaur bone trains, warring gods, & capitalist horror. It's wacky fun! It's Locus recommended! I'd be honoured if you considered it in your nominations!

More SFF cons should have poet laureates

MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER DANCED BALLET, my debut full-length collection, comes out on March 17, 2026. You can pre-order it now, from all the usual places, or ideally from your favourite local indie! Thanks to Brick Books for bringing this into the world.

Got my hair braided by a French-speaking stylist at the salon. The only French I recognized was, "Je suis fatigué," which she said to a colleague after 7 hours of braiding. I tipped her well.

Is it performative or can you just observe someone doing it

I think about this line often, not only when it comes to not using AI in writing but also for writing broadly. Love IS for the ones who love the work.

I did the thing you're not supposed to do. I went to bed at 8pm and woke up at 3am, fully rested. Trying to get back to sleep now 🫠

Facebook is wild! I met this person on Bumble ONE time! We don't follow each other on anything! Why are they in my suggested friends?!

The artist website serves as a good archive. Every time I think I'm not doing enough or moving too slowly, I look to see what I have already done, how far I have come

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

I started hosting seasonal mixers this year. My goal is for two people to meet at my one of my mixers and fall in love and get married

"I hate taking photos of myself!" Could literally never be me. I barely remember what I did last weekend, I'll definitely forget what I did as a teenager, how I lived and learned at the precipice of adulthood, nearly every new stage of myself, all my old laughing faces.

Hold on, friends! It's going to get spooky! To celebrate 10k followers, I'm answering your questions about Palestinian folklore here in this mega thread.

I was just reminded of the time I did a reading at a writing conference and the person ahead of me ended their reading late, cutting into my time. A small stain on the experience.

In less than a week!!! 🩵💜🖤

I was impatient and started putting together IKEA furniture on my own and already I have run into problems

My main contract gig is being cut, and my family responsibilities are less demanding than a few years ago. So please get in touch if you know of writing/editing/research/workshop positions, any hours, ideally remote or Ottawa. Extra points for good causes. I know it's rough out there for everyone.

Attention everyone, I would like to use this opportunity to move in silence. Thank you.

It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

After being forced to use a wine bottle to roll out dough for cinnamon rolls and pie dough, I will finally, at last, purchase a rolling pin

An acquaintance: You're the busiest person in the world! Me: I'm not the busiest person in the world! Some people are presidents and prime ministers!

My good friend and I had a discussion about condos (she is looking). Now I am thinking about condos
