Quebec continues to be awesome

I hate it when I go out in public and the public is there.

The Laurentians are good for making you forget about other things

American Airlines gatekeeping, as per

Chat I really think we had some interesting stuff to say here. How to talk about a book that isn’t especially interested in making sense?

Excited to receive this—one of my most anticipated titles of 2025. Thanks @neglectedbooks.com !

One more for the evening crowd

Just another day or so until our latest episode drops... Hang in there! You got this!

A while back @mookse.bsky.social and @bibliopaul.bsky.social @johnwilliams.bsky.social discussed starter libraries—which inspired me to imagine my own eigermonchjungfrau.blog/2025/10/01/a...

Lucky to see this fabulous film on the big screen this afternoon

So much to chew on here!

The last sentence of this! Joy!

Guys this is so good
