Excited for the next phase of my postdoc. If you're interested in contributing as a research participant in a climate, weather, and wellness poetry workshop, check out the details below. The first community writing workshop is planned for Calgary, with more to come in Alberta and British Columbia.

RIP Marjane Satrapi (1969-2026)

Thank you @albertaviews.bsky.social for noting "I'll Get Right On It" in the June issue! It means a lot to keep this important conversation about workers and climate at the forefront. #ReadAlberta #CanLit #Poetry #ClimateChange #Workers @fernpub.bsky.social Link: albertaviews.ca/ill-get-righ...

Of course hot girls read and write about risk assessment, decision making, and uncertainty on Sat night.

There is a massive protest planned today at Riley Park in Calgary to fight back against the UCP's damaging & dangerous policies in Alberta. Our #Alberta NDP team & I will be there. We hope you can make it! Please spread the word! See you there! #abpoli #ableg #Calgary #yyc

This is what they call “fine art.” See y’all at Riley Park ✊🏽✊🏼 #ableg #abpoli

gonna be crazy when we’re all in prison for little posts we made on the internet in like three years

Danielle Smith out there embarrassing Alberta again and again... #ableg #abpoli

There aren't many columnists in this country better than @sproudfoot.bsky.social, and she was especially good in this piece. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/opi...

It’s giving…

Got ethics approval for my postdoc to move to the next phase, so I took myself out for ice cream 🍦🍦

I’m an abolitionist, but like probably not for David.

The group has a legal fund and is asking for support to hold CPS, the City and UofC accountable for brutalizing protesters and denying them Charter rights. chuffed.org/project/1808...

Omg just finished the long form census and it was like now tell me who’s your housekeeper, and what you keep in your house? What in the world is in that room, what you got in that room?

ANNOUNCEMENT After two years of accountability failures, nine of us are suing the Calgary Police, City of Calgary & University of Calgary for brutality & Charter violations suffered May 9, 2024. We will provide a public statement at UofC TFLD Quad, 12:30pm today. drugdatadecoded.ca/for-immediat...

I break down the saga of separatists, voter list abuse and an ever-spiralling mess that's emerged on today's Front Burner pod. The FB team NAILED the episode's title. www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-p...

You get a voters list and you get a voters list and you get a voters list!

wtf

“Entitlement — the belief that a single party has a natural right to rule — has been omnipresent among Alberta conservatives for decades.” #ableg #abpoli

Massive List of Electors data breach was inevitable – the UCP’s law-bending style of politics made it so. albertapolitics.ca/2026/05/mass...

Getting my Saturday morning brain scramble in. IYKYK 🇫🇮

Happy May Day! Do you love books AND workers?? Might I suggest "I'll Get Right On It: Poems on Working Life in the Climate Crisis." I'm a proud co-editor of this unique collection published by @fernpub.bsky.social in 2025. #CanLit #Poetry #ClimateChange #Workers fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/ill-get...

Omg there are some absolutely epic crash outs happening on the other place. Worth a little look and a chuckle if you still have your account. #ableg #abpoli

RCMP just confirmed it is investigating.

Alberta is a clown show. No, that’s mean to clowns.

“Mr. Davies told The Globe his organization had provided the list of electors to a number of vendors, to use for authorized purposes.” Excuse me? They gave it to a number of vendors?? Jail. Enough of this bullshit. #ableg #abpoli Gift link: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/9b9ee91...

it’s the last day of national poetry month have you told a poet theyre your favorite moth yet

This is wild. And so so bad. @kathleenganley.bsky.social what can be done about this? What will it take for people to be held criminally responsible?! #ableg #abpoli overcast.fm/+AAtafmZ3M8s

It keeps getting worse...

that feeling when you get your mri results and start hoping you can get sorted before the UCP voucher you into a Sam Mraiche special instead of a real procedure. sigh

Thank you for this beautiful close read of Attic Rain. Check out Alicia Beggs-Holder’s generous review in the Miramichi Reader. 🏠🌧️ #poetry #CanLit #ReadAlberta @newestpress.bsky.social miramichireader.ca/2026/04/atti...

You know an apple a day keeps the doctor away. But have you heard about a book that is bi to make your education minister cry?! Read the goods 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 and tell the Alberta government to keep their bigoted hands off books and libraries. #freedomtoread #freedomtowrite #nobookbans #abpoli #ableg

So someone made this. And in a time when no one seems to be fighting back against these awful, racist, useless referendum(b) questions, this gave me a glimmer of hope. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #referendumb #Alberta

Listening to Nicolaides get ROASTED on Alberta at Noon healed a small part of my crusty soul. #ableg #abpoli overcast.fm/+AAAo3pTEbBY

It was truly a pleasure to be a juror for the 2026 City of Regina Writing Award! Big thanks to the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild and to fellow juror @utilityofboredom.bsky.social. And of course huge congrats to the winner and runners up and thank you to everyone who submitted their work. ❤️📚 #CanLit

My god, West of Centre on #CBC today was infuriating. Erika Barootes needs to be fact checked wayyy more. As one example, her anecdote of woke math questions was actually embarrassing. I have an elementary-aged kid in public school who brings home math work all the time and I’ve never seen that. 1/2

The Alberta government is now considering some level of book restrictions in public libraries, not just schools. And once again they are taking aim at LGBTQ2S+ books. Don't forget where this focus came from. It was never actually about "concerned parents." xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

This is bullshit. Freedom people once again telling you what to do. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition.

Omg this @pwhlgoldeneyes.bsky.social gameeeee!!!

Omg today is going to be a day of insufferable Alberta Liberals.
