A delight and honour to talk about What is Broken Binds Us with Victoria Poet Laureate Kyeren Regehr. And listen to Zoe, Tracy and Jeremy. So many talented creatives here in Victoria. @ucalgarypress.bsky.social

“Resilience and repair become necessities. So do shifts in mental and psychological constructs. The fix-it mentality has to give way” @lornedaniel.bsky.social’s backgrounder on his wonderful new collection.

As the darkest day approaches, I'm imagining spring, which will bring tulips and daffodils and also my new book! Visit my page at Thornapple Press for more information! thornapplepress.ca/books/the-ar...

Noise is a much-overlooked public health issue. Exposure to noise is also an equity issue: lower income and less advantaged people often have the greatest exposures. City of Victoria is updating their Noise bylaws... here's an opportunity to influence. #noise #urbanism cheknews.ca/sound-off-vi...

Thanks Sarah, this means a lot, coming from a writer I really respect.

Could they pair this announcement with one "strengthening access to voluntary care"? We have seen first hand how delays in access to care can prolong addictions issues for years that stretch into decades. Some involuntary care may be needed, but only as last resort. #bcpoli #addictionstreatment

So good. Pedestrians and cyclists might put themselves at risk, but drivers put others at risk. #streets #streetsafety #transportation www.timescolonist.com/opinion/comm...

Cool to see a video touting Victoria’s dedicated bike infrastructure that has really taken off in recent years, much to the ongoing chagrin of some suburban motorists who never tire of moaning and complaining about it in the pages of the local newspaper. 🙄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKMD...

📣 Oak Bay needs your pro-housing voice! The new OCP Bylaw 4942 could finally plan for 20 years of much-needed homes. 🗓 Dec 9, 6pm 📍 Monterey Rec Centre Or watch on Civic Web. Let’s speak up for more homes and a more welcoming Oak Bay. 🏡 oakbay.civicweb.net/Portal/Meeti...

I'm so fucking tired of so many people being killed in traffic crashes. I'm so fucking tired but I'm also so, so fucking angry. I use obscene language because what is obscene is over 40,000 people/year dying in preventable crashes in the US, 7,000 or so who are merely walking, and society just 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had a fun time carrying Patrick around in my cargo bike and giving him a little tour of my and Urban Thrive's first car free townhouse in #yyj. Quoting myself here: "I changed the way I build because the city changed the way it built" by investing in safe and convenient cycling infrastructure.

Met a lovely American woman and her dog Scout, hiking at Goldstream Falls today. She seemed very happy to be escaping the Thanksgiving ‘stuff’ south of the border. Salmon, bald eagles, cedars and water. Lots to give thanks for.

That said, please request books from your local library because Public Lending Rights cheques are amazing and hugely appreciated / impactful

A haunting, luminous poetry collection … part elegy, part reclamation, this is a profound meditation on how love, grief, and place shape a life.” Thank you to the Prairies Book Review for this generous review of “All of Us Hidden” @caitlinpress.bsky.social #poetry theprairiesbookreview.com?p=42588

Something very cool just happened to #Montreal. Last week I got to ride on the REM line, now fully open from Brossard to Deux-Montagnes. Automated. Electric. Frequent (2.5 minute headways). Fast (100 km/h plus). Cheap to build. (One tenth the price of other systems) And really fun to ride... 🧵

In this NBN episode, I chop it up with the excellent award-winning author Bruce Hunter about his CanLit masterpiece, In the Bear’s House (Frontenac House Press, 2025). Tune in: newbooksnetwork.com/in-the-bears... @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social #canlit

I’ve enjoyed Vancouver Island writer Jennifer Manuel’s fiction. Now she’s up for the CBC Poetry Prize. www.cbc.ca/books/litera...

Public Hearing coming up likely Dec. 1/2- would be great to hear voices that are concerned about the process followed here to speak up. Addressing the false dichotomy between what the mayor proposed and “massive densification” is important. This is not an either/or, and the process is at issue.

From Kurt Vonnegut's Paris Review interview, 1977 INTERVIEWER There were some bad reviews? VONNEGUT Only in The New York Times, Time, Newsweek, The New York Review of Books, The Village Voice & Rolling Stone. They loved me in Medicine Hat.

A nice Remembrance Day read from @maxfawcett.bsky.social

@mattdellvictoria.bsky.social Matt, is there an updated document noting the status of specific Victoria budget items (approved, deleted etc)?

What a blast we had Tuesday night at Common Loaf Bake Shop in Tofino, launching @joannastreetly.bsky.social ‘s new All of Us Hidden. 40+ warm, wonderful people plus poetry, food, music, conversation.

Reading tonight at Common Loaf in Tofino. Very cool venue. Thanks @joannastreetly.bsky.social for the dual book launch.

Three more sleeps! After a long hard year I can’t wait to put everything else aside and fully celebrate with @lornedaniel.bsky.social and this fab Tofino crowd.

“We are entangled and every knot and loop of shared failure seems to tighten until something falls away as we walk away each in our own confused direction.” #SundaySentence #TodaysPoem From the poem “Chasm and Divide” from @lornedaniel.bsky.social’s beautiful collection, What is Broken Binds Us.

Tofino! Join Lorne Daniel and Joanna Streetley to launch two fantastic new books this Tuesday, November 4! https://ow.ly/RoEO50Xky4A

What is Broken Binds Us by @lornedaniel.bsky.social is an Edmonton bestseller!

Nothing like sports ad breaks to remind you of all four Canadian companies
