“Kids, your government can never be trusted,” I told them yet again, “understand that now.”

Sober as a judge, observing the majesty of nature.

Can’t wait to explain to my children how weed used to be illegal and why.

Professional stage plot

Daughter so very annoyed with me for interrupting her reading as I try to get her ready for school. I feel your pain, baby gal.

Forgot about how hard Shooting Guns goes for a minute there. Best to never forget, you guys.

Hell yeah you should! And while you’re at it, pick up a copy of Where The Pavement Turns to Sand for good measure, bud 😎 eveninghousebooks.com/product/wher...

I have never once said “I hate having two coffee shops, a grocery store, a library,(soon to be) two taprooms, a bowling alley, a game shop, a used bookstore, and three music venues all in a 6 minute walk from my house.”

Time again to change the strings.

Getting into this one, dreams getting a little weird.

Watched over 50 numbers from 2 of Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Dance Spectrum shows yesterday, incl. baby gal’s intro musical theatre & ballet numbers. Kids all did great! Support the arts, you guys 🎭 🩰

Lone find at the RVCC garage sale this year. Big fan of the story The Loons from this linked collection.

Watching Argyle with the kids.

A pleasant new Vilagerrr day to any who might partake.

@malarkeybooks.bsky.social has started including a disclaimer in their books that the books are not permitted to be used to train AI and that they were not written with AI. More publishers should follow suit.

Great time at the reading last night, you guys. What a beauty evening here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Moby-Dick, or, The Whale by Herman Melville

Can tell it’s ball season by all the sunflower seed shells in the kids’ laundry.

Tonight! See you on the patio, pals

Just cut the damn crust off, my daughter mutters, as though I cannot hear her.

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

Nice day, Winnipeg

We're hiring a community journalist to help cover the stories from in and around Winnipeg for the weekly FP Community Review East & West editions. www.winnipegfreepress.com/job-opportun...

Watching Clifford with the family.

Today was my last day as a reporter for the Free Press Community Review after nearly 12 years (through a couple permutations of the paper/s). Monday I start as the managing editor. Community journalism, you guys!

Going to see the NOFX movie tonight.

Fancy some strange stories set in the wilds of western Canada? Look no further, bud malarkeybooks.com/store/pavement

Yeah I have a pension plan it’s called the sweet release of death

The internet is not as promised.

Gardening isn’t writing. But the two share a lot in common, as far as learning, repetition, perseverance, and the amount of work it takes to get anything worthwhile out of the practice goes. You gotta enjoy doing it for the sake of doing it, ya dig? Thrilled to get back in the garden this weekend.

🌼📕🐝🌿

Watching SNL season finale with the family.

May have donated 3 stacks of CDs to the community centre garage sale but still have a banker’s box I cannot part with. A real trip to go thru it all. Physical media, baby!

Rearranging some bookshelves and just wanted to let you know these are two wonderfully weird collections of short fiction @joeyrpoole.bsky.social @geoliminal.bsky.social @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Son bought himself @propagandhi.com At Peace CD today at @mcnallyrobinson.com Proud dad over here for sure bud

Cold and snowy on May long weekend? Unheard of!

Watching Clueless with the family.

The only song that can adequately explain the Carney government is, appropriately, Canadian. And turns 30 this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW5q...

A pleasant new Kevin Morby record day to all who might enjoy.

Dust bowl vibes at the ball game out in Oak Bluff last night were something, alright.
