A magical and introspective read for autumn days 🐝 Latest for @theseaboardreview.ca: #CanLit #Poetry #Writing

My latest for @theseaboardreview.ca. In Goose, “…the reader is invited to open their minds to a poetic deconstruction and rebuilding of Fort McMurray history - a history that is an oil sands history, but before and throughout that, a Métis history.” #Poetry #CanLit

The covers of the books reviewed in the October 8th issue of The Seaboard Review of Books. www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/the-Seaboa... #canlit

New lifer! #Birds #Birding #Autumn #Fall #Sandpiper Alt: A juvenile solitary sandpiper stands in shallow water on an early fall evening; the water is blurry fall colours of yellow-greens and oranges.

This is a big moment for me because I have a distaste for butterflies, to put it mildly. (Their erratic fluttering and potential to land on me.) #NatureSky #Butterfly #MonarchButterfly #Nature #Photography

This little fellow got close! #Birds #Birding #NatureSky

“…Is there any value to resuming the trajectory of “before times”? Can we (or should we) ever truly “let go” of the past?” Today in @theseaboardreview.ca - my review of @premeemohamed.com’s latest post-apocalyptic novella, coming later this month. #CanLit #Books

Our first Call for Papers is live! If you are interested in writing the history of New Brunswick, engaging with popular audiences, and supporting small museums, then we would love to hear from you! Proposals for submissions are due 30 September 2025. See below for details:

Today around the Campfire: The courage and community of temporary #Art.

“We focus on doing photo-perfect performances for social media...And yet it's the ongoing, often messy, private practice of any of the arts that connects us to ourselves, to each other, that calms us and potentially helps us transcend troubles.” On #art in times of authoritarianism by Sue Clancy.

“Regardless of the relationship between sender and recipient, the written letter stands out amongst the “immedia-sea” of artificial art and content creation as a profoundly romantic act of rebellion.” #Writing #Letters

East Coast Bistro is easily the best restaurant in Saint John send skeet. Clockwise from bottom right: Smoked salmon/goat cheese/dill quiche; pain au chocolat; double chocolate puff pastry pop tart; vanilla crueller; ham/pesto/cheese croissant. #NewBrunswick

Last week on my 3rd trip to the mighty Miramichi I landed my first salmon! A nice little grilse on a royal undertaker. Definitely a great experience!

Timeline Cleanse, if you need it. #Birds #SciArt #Ducks

Who can work in science, EVERYONE #pride

“…knowledge is advanced by many…working on chipping away at boundaries of knowledge little bit at a time. Sometimes doing so leads to world-changing discovery. Other times it just tells us 1 more thing that doesn’t work, a vital step toward eventually learning what does work.“ Great read for all.

For Lorneville, Saint John is bound by tradition to shatter underprivileged communities. medium.com/@ravenblue/s...

Wow, France is offering more services (safety checks, etc). to make up for fewer letters. "La Poste delivers home meals to isolated or vulnerable people priced between €22 and €100 per month. 15,000 of t150,000 daily meal deliveries are made by La Poste— they're largest operator in this sector."

More timeline cleanse. How about some Talking Heads. music.youtube.com/watch?v=_3eC...

August 2000: Sitting at a bus stop in Old Quebec at midnight, and a limo pulls up to the red light. Sun roof opens, two members of Iron Maiden pop out, drunkenly scream “Iron Maiden!”, flash devil horns, and speed away into the night.

And in Saint John, 12K customers out for…reasons.

If you need a new lunch box, the Grand Bay-Westfield Town Yard Sale has you covered.

“Somewhere along the line the concept of getting something quickly, and especially quickly without having to leave your home, has implanted itself deeply into the consumerist psyche…” Untangling yourself from the web of fast goods disconnects us. #SupportLocal

Some of y’all can’t handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.

make art make art and share it make art and keep it hidden make art and show it only to your friends make art and stop worrying about "good" or "bad" just do it. it doesn't matter whats holding you back, just do it anyway.

Again, I implore you to use humans not #AI in making your #SciArt. This gives me… *consults wheel* Sadsad.

One of the highlights among many last August in #Scotland. A beach made of fossilized algae, with coordinating #wheatear. #Birds #Birding #Photography #SciArt

It’s done - #100DaysOfDinos! #100DayProject #Dinosaur #Art #Upcycled

Happy to find Ella on here after following her on IG. Her #art is astounding (and looks delicious). #TimelineCleanse #Baking

🚨 Cool new project alert 🚨 WE- you, me, everyone- need to work together to get important science messages out to people. 4 artists & 3 scientists collab'd on these posters. We hope YOU will put them out in your community. Each poster comes w/info about each topic. Get 'em Squidfacts.bigcartel.com

Always a genuine LOL when the flight crew says to “check the board for your connection status” on arrival at YSJ. Ma’am, I don’t think Vet’s Taxi has a codeshare with Air Canada.

“…[the anthology] reminds the reader: that, buried under the weight of the grey, is hunger and light in each of us…you will find a satisfying and eye-opening foray into others’ truths that will nurture your humanity.” My latest @theseaboardreview.ca #MentalHealth @bellpressbooks.bsky.social

Special #victoriaday edition of The Seaboard Review of Books is out! www.theseaboardreview.ca/p/victoria-d...

Please enjoy this photo: first, to celebrate the hard work of these students. And second, some of my best artistic work ever (Lappy, a Dell laptop circa 1991).

“ #Science is ill equipped to deal with these fascist ways, because science assumes everyone involved wants the truth, is being honest, and is invested in the process not the outcome... the repetition is easily mistaken for accuracy…” - @drjengunter.bsky.social

Using genAI to make art is like entering the Boston Marathon but you want to use a car because all that training & effort & sweat is too much for you.
