I feel like Smosh is missing an opportunity with their merch by not having a Reddit Stories tshirt that just says UPDATE

Love when a poem you think is perfect for a certain lit mag IS perfect for that lit mag because they picked it!

Reading a poetry book a day this week because I'm trying to make it to 150 books read by the end of the year!!!

Debating whether or not the transit budget can be decreased immediately after passing the police budget feels deranged. Police has a PLANE, and City Council is asking if buses can reduce routes, hours, or increase their rates??? #yqr

Donnelly: Most criminal activity starts w/ young people who have nothing to do, nowhere to go. We need to invest in organizations that help them find ways to express themselves, give them something to do. #yqrcc

Every Christmas, I like to watch and read a series that feels like a project: LOTR Extended Editions, Star Wars, Anne of Green Gables, The Magicians, Chronicles of Narnia, etc. Anyone else?

If I include stopping for food and gas, I went to 16 different places in 6.5 hours yesterday while Christmas shopping.

The RPL Film Theatre in Regina will be screening "The Librarians" this Friday, December 12 at 7pm. Admission is free and everyone is welcome! For more information: buff.ly/egCR8Wb Or visit the RPL Film Theatre for more exciting films during the month of December: buff.ly/8IiGDrm

I remember when it wasn't ok to use Wikipedia as a citation but sure, let's all turn to the poopy barfy slop machine for all of our information

Someone walked by me yesterday and was like, ohhh she is a fairy, and that is the reaction I aspire to inspire always.

Injured myself at the gym this week in a new and exciting way. It's been a while since I've had to deal with an injury like this and I feel like I've gotten worse at it.

My favourite Sephora liquid eyeliner has been changed from felt tip to brush tip and I HATE it. Taking recommendations for the best liquid liner that goes on smooth and doesn’t get grayish partway through application.

Taking psychic damage from the new season of Critical Role

Got completely wiped out by two fillings today. Had to get two rounds of freezing and I was really shaky and cold afterwards. Now I’m barely staying awake on the couch. My nervous system said absolutely not to that.

Trying to build new friendships as a neurodivergent adult who came out late and lost a bunch of friends and family is rough, but I think maybe I'm starting to do it? Maybe?

Another year of no poetry category in the Goodreads Choice Awards. It's a shame, because people still read poetry and it deserves recognition just like any other genre.

It blows my mind that Jacob Elordi could go from playing the most hateful, dead eyed man in Euphoria to the most precious baby angel Creature who I would die for in Frankenstein. Nominate that man for an Oscar, damn

Just watched the behind the scenes doc for Frankenstein and I just need Netflix to give all the money for whatever project he wants to do.

Canadians, who is doing interesting work/talks/books about misinformation?

I used to have nightmares about dinosaurs, zombies, nuclear bombs, tornados, and now I only have nightmares about fighting with my family because I came out as queer.

Experiencing the Frankenstein story very differently now as someone who came out as gay and was then rejected by half my family.

When Frankenstein’s creature said, “you may think me obscene, but to myself I simply am,” I felt that.

Can’t wait to go see GDT’s Frankenstein for the second time in theatres tonight!!!

Idk what it is but I’ve had Pap smears done by women twice, and they’ve been the worst experiences. Granted, my family doctor for years was the most gentle man on earth, so I’m like, is this just normal?? They’re just this horrible all the time???

Sometimes I look back on the time I spent in Australia on a student exchange program and think about how lucky I was to take classes in Australian Literature, Irish Lit (from an Irish prof who moved to Oz), Creative Writing (where I made my own anthology of Australian love poems), and Screenwriting.

Edmond babe, find yourself a nice autistic woman and you’ll be so happy. #loveisblind

GET HYPED! GDT's Frankenstein is in theatres in #yqr!

Way too many people are comfortable going dogs out in public.

The new Ashnikho album is a delight. The track list alone is just dopamine.

Regina theatres not playing Del Toro’s Frankenstein is a travesty #yqr

Had the opportunity to try honeycomb today and felt like a magical fairy in a forest dipping my hand into a hive and eating it fresh with fruit I foraged myself 🧚

One of the funniest things about figuring out I’m autistic has been reading all my favourite books again and realizing that all the authors are autistic.

"Come enjoy a free-with-donation screening of the 2014 cult horror hit THE BABADOOK at the Regina Public Library film theatre, and stay afterwards for a lively discussion on how horror movies help us explore our greatest fears!" #YQR

I’m going to lose my mind. Every time I go to watch something on Crave lately, it’s in fucking French. In this case, it even says it’s in English but it’s fucking NOT. What am I even paying for on this app?? To watch a commercial every time I pause or rewind jesus christ😡 🤬👿🔥

Me, waking up from another nightmare about fighting with my parents: goddamnit I’ve got ptsd again.

Me watching the DS9 episode where Jadzia and Lenara have a lesbian kiss: 👁️ 👄 👁️ Me watching the episode where Sisko almost dies after an attack: 🥱 📱

Nothing like getting yelled at by the King of Regina to wake you up at the end of the day

Curse you Cineplex and your real butter on the popcorn! Some of us are lactose intolerant!

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

PSA: If you're an author & you get a chatty email from a marketer, or book club that praises your book & bashes Amazon's algo before offering to 'help', usually with 500 to 10,000 reviewers, it's just a ChatGPT automated marketing scam. It's the new Nigerian prince email, brought to you by 'AI' 🙄.

It’s never not going to be funny to me that my queer awakening was Holtzmann from Ghostbusters, who is so autistic coded, and then I came out and got myself an autistic girlfriend.

Anne Lister recorded in code every single time she kissed or had sex with another woman for decades but sure, autism only existed after Tylenol was invented.

Emily Dickinson was a recluse who wrote almost 1800 poems but sure, autism only existed after Tylenol was invented.

I wake up and I’m angry

If I wear enough eyeliner, no one will know I cried until I couldn’t breathe last night.

Why is it that the only weeks I plan social things to do also happen to coincide with the weeks I am crashing out mental health wise.

A super fun thing is that my estranged brother will randomly remove himself from Facebook group chats from several years ago every three months and I get the notifications and then I get to relive the trauma of being abandoned by my family all over again.

It’s super cool when your own family traumatizes you and then you can never trust anyone again.
