"[Drake] never met an uncomfortable silence he couldn’t smother, and across his three new studio albums, he girds his loins for the longest filibuster of his existence." – a poet at Pitchfork pitchfork.com/reviews/albu...

Big stick on Muna’s new album is the mother of all bangers good lord

Recording a reading of a poem for an anthology coming soon 👀 #poetry #poetrysky #booksky #writingcommunity

I am SAT

[at a coffee shop] Me: ooo I like this song S: I know it! It’s by the Weepies. It’s a Great Depression song. Me: it’s about the Great Depression? S: no. About being depressed

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

honestly at this point Mel Robbins and anybody else who's been a keynote speaker at a Bigtech conference deserves a side-eye

Someone asked me how long it took to write my new poetry collection and I said three or four years, thinking that wasn’t that long and the way she GAWKED at me!!! (She didn’t think it was short)

Look I hate cleaning and chores in general but this steam cleaner is changing my lifee

It’s my birthday and I am once again doing my matching campaign of $340! Somebody already matched $340 for Crips for eSims but you can still donate $3.4, $34, $340, or more! :) Email screenshots to cripsforesimsforgaza[at]gmail[dot]com. chuffed.org/project/crip...

Just discovered Robert MacFarlane and I know I’m late af to the party but wow I never thought I’d care about peregrines like this

Like clockwork when we eat dinner

don’t forget to leave out milk and cookies for Saint Jerome the patron saint of books on this Indie Bookstore Day Eve

Not me watching #ThePitt finale and my (midwife) partner suddenly shouting “You can’t get a fetal heart rate the monitor isn’t even on the right spot on her belly!!!” in my ear

a dream pub 💙

Happy #NationalPoetryMonth Day 15 from @isabellawangbc.bsky.social ‘s Pebble Swing

Ontario's drinking water is protected by little-known groups, closely tied to conservation authorities. As the Ford government consolidates the watershed agencies, a leaked document and 12 sources show their role is now unclear. thenarwhal.ca/ontario-sour...

Intergenerational trauma? Biting satirical wit that any true Vancouverite would appreciate? Sign me UP (From Jen Sookfong Lee’s The Hunger We Pass Down)

Dreaming of a day with less than four meetings and an appointment (I have one upcoming, but with a substantial meeting and two appointments on it...)

Two of my faves talking to each other. I still remember the day I read The Woo-Woo for the first time. I was a few chapters in and waving the book around at my partner yelling something like "omg omg omg"

The Ontario government wants to rewrite the law that compelled it to disclose documents revealing the Greenbelt land scandal, the Skills Development Fund controversy and others.

100% of the joy of watching The Traitors is in yelling at the dumb shit the Faithfuls say at the round table

JFC man. I guess trying to finger-wag Tr*mp to death didn't work out

Public Service Announcement: When the price of gasoline jumps this week, remember it was refined from oil (mostly Canadian) produced weeks ago, only 2% of which comes from the Middle East. It's a policy choice, not 'market forces', that explains why you'll pay more (and oil profits will soar). /2

Ontario ombudsman Paul Dube was in Neskantaga First Nation last summer, finding "unsafe and unacceptable" conditions, including a boil-water advisory that has stretched over 11,000 days, a condemned health centre, a cramped school, and a litany of systemic challenges. ricochet.media/indigenous/b...

just finished Gay Girl Prayers and if I ever had a kindred spirit book, that's probably it

Weird how all these places with oil keep getting invaded by the United States.

I love Amber Dawn's brain (and writing)!

Victoria Chang never misses. An entire collection that’s in conversation with Agnes Martin and her work. Just 🤯 #poetry @victoriachang.bsky.social

Really did not have Canada's global rebrand to "curling cheaters" on my 2026 bingo card

Thank you to everyone still borrowing my book five years later 🥹 Support your local public library!

Not me trying to get tickets to Metric for this summer and seeing Ticketmaster is scalping their own tix for 2x the price 🤡

I love a self portrait poem

Absolutely wild that... nothing has happened??? That clown show with Bondi was a travesty

A group studying the Ring of Fire, co-led by 15 First Nations along with a federal agency, is calling for immediate environmental monitoring ‘before any development occurs,’ along with health care funding for nearby communities. thenarwhal.ca/ring-of-fire...

Got a ride to the airport. The driver (in his 70s I think, from Northern Ireland) was so interesting. Asked lots of questions about Hong Kong, how HKers feel about China, etc. Then we got into Canada. He hates Trudeau (immigration) hates Ford (corrupt), but think PP is an honest man. I was like… 🤯

this might be a long shot... but do i know anyone based in Japan who has access to the National Diet Library in Japan and could help me access digital scans of a book with contents that are now in the public domain (early 1900s)? www.ndl.go.jp

Oh my god why did no one tell me 30 seconds in football takes 10 minutes to happen I just want to watch Bad Bunny

so happy for Joel Embiid, didn't think he'd ever play again 🥹

My favourite bookstore in Halifax!

Ontario received 14,233 comments on its plan to drop protections on a portion of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, transferring management to the municipality. The plan is moving ahead unchanged, despite 98 per cent of those comments being in opposition. thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

ChatGPT now citing Grok. What do all the AI companies like to say again... "Garbage in, garbage out?" www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Goddammit Minnesotans are making me believe in humans

My first time reading a story with Toisanese, my grandparents’ language. It’s forcing me to read much slower to sound out every word the way my grandma would’ve said it—super different from the Cantonese I’m used to. I kinda love it. #DenisonAvenue

Just found out Renee Good was a poet. May ICE agents get everything they deserve. The full poem: poets.org/2020-on-lear...

There must be a way to do fireworks without the sound right? Our dog is cowering under the bed 😭

I read 47 books this year! I have been wanting to read more widely across genres and I’m really happy I was (mostly) able to do that in 2025. Here are some of my favourites 🤓
