#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Endangered species in Ontario are under threat in the form of Bill 5. If passed, it would scrap the ESA & create “special economic zones” where developers are exempt from provincial regulations. It also could trample Indigenous rights. ontarionature.org/bill-5-a-mom...

Yay, crime writers raising money for trans rights. Win--win! kingsriverlife.com/03/25/crime-...

Ramadan Mubarek. I was in Cairo in 2019 during Ramadan. After sunset, the lights came on, and a man passed out juice boxes at the intersection. I took one and thanked him sincerely. This was even more precious in a place where you’re not supposed to drink the water.

Spook Street by Mick Herron: strong work, as always, even though I'm not fascinated by memory. melissayuaninnes.com/book-review-... Side note: that's right, you'll never find me obsessing over historicals. I love education, equality, and access to quality health care.

Review and giveaway of "Sugar and Vice" by Melissa Yi www.krlnews.com/2025/02/suga... @melissayi.bsky.social #mystery #book 💙📚

Did anyone here fall in love in Orleans, preferably Queenswood Heights (east of Ottawa), in 1980 and/or have any crime stories from that year? I know this is oddly specific, but I got a writing assignment. Thanks!

A #Mexican ##Cinderella, a #Canadian #Prince Charming: both are injured, #consent is key before they hold hands, and the ball has the best playlist, starting with Spirit of the West's "Home for a Rest." #romance #hockey #smalltown #fakedating #wholesome #canada #book #novella amzn.to/3ElWeh7

And so I’m glad I went. I’m glad I shouted in the rain until I was hoarse. I just want to encourage other people, if you think there’s no point, you’re mistaken. Just by showing up, you’re telling the bullies you aren’t afraid, and you’re telling their potential victims they aren’t alone.

What's your favourite part of the Cinderella story? My friend A says the fact that the Prince was so determined to find her. She also enjoyed the glow up.

Hey. Stop apologizing for promoting your book. You see all these “writing is resistance! write, make art!” posts that have been going viral like every day around here? Promoting the book you wrote so people know it exists is supposed to be the end result of that. You’re fine. Just promote your book.

No US travel for me for 4+ years. I want to see Punchdrunk's new play in NYC, but will not. No writing conference in Vegas. No Malice Domestic. I consider Hawai'i a spiritual place and would have liked my children to see it. Oh well. I also need to figure out how to close my X account.

True Detective 4 is magnificent. I love strong women and compassionate men, while acknowledging the harsh side of us all. But the ending? Whyyyyyyyyy. Definite mixed feelings.

From @melissayi.bsky.social | A friendly reminder to stop killing people Sometimes as a physician, you're the patient. But what can you do if things are going horribly wrong with your care and no one is listening to you?
