Motherfucking wind farms…

Knew I was a real writer once I realized the American president's misuse of capital letters freaks me out as much as the rest of the crap he pulls. #WritingCommunity

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

Medically vulnerable hubby (routinely mocked for masking) had some legal biz today. Met by lawyer & her assistant, both wearing N95 masks, who'd set up a chair & table with a white tablecloth & a bottle of water OUTSIDE for him to safely sign his papers. Ladies, take a bow...#KindnessInAction

Writers, join me in the Shuswap, BC for our fall retreat. Take advantage of the early bird discount now!

Fellow Canadians, you all know you can vote by mail, right? #CDNpoli

Meanwhile in Canada the Conservatives make a bold campaign promise to brink back plastic straws. Because surely this is the top priority for Canadians right now. Please vote for grown-up people with grown-up ideas. #Cdnpoli

Just how Canadian are we? Televised Prime Minister candidates debate rescheduled to avoid competing with the hockey game. #TeamCanada #CanadaStrong

A vote is not a valentine. It’s a chess move.

These jokers are hell bent on breaking the world... www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/h...

Has anyone tried unplugging the US and plugging it back in

Folks looking for a lift? #TheResidence is a rollicking romp of an escape.

Please take a couple of minutes to read this piece. It's important. "We have ignored the perspectives, stories & voices of disabled people for so long that their actual needs, feelings and experiences are hardly acknowledged."

Strong sign game...

Sorry, not sorry...#TeamCanada

Finally watched Conclave. Jesus.

So...stormed off Threads & lost a lot of Canadian booky folks. Anybody out there wanting to help a #CanLit author build a lovely literary feed? #booksky #Writingcommunity #Booklovers #Books #Authors #Amwriting #Amreading

Yes!! May this gem be embraced by new generations & inspire filmy folks to aim higher... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/m...

Clinging to my science warriors like my life depends on it. Wait...right. #GoScience

Perplexed is one word for it. Despairing is another. As are stupefied, enraged, and ready. #TeamCanada

Excellent read... www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/m...

I'm betting if Alberta Premier Danielle Smith were diagnosed with a serious illness (which I hope is never the case) she'd not be too keen on having the "contrarian voices" & misinformed govt wonks decide on her treatment plan. #ScienceRules #CdnPoli #MedicineforDummies

Just scrolled through the news for roughly 5 minutes. Changing my prediction for 2025's word of the year from foment to entropy. #DarkDays

A bit of lovely news to balance the bleak. So grateful to all involved for making this happen for me again... #Books #CanLit #WritingCommunity #Booklovers #Reading #BookSky

Hey with all of this “buy Canadian” as a response to the tariffs, can we also remember to READ CANADIAN. Canadian publishers will struggle to distribute books to the US, and Canadian authors struggle to get published there. American authors have a much easier time to be published here. Soooo….

A Real Pain is achingly lovely. A balm for these times.

This very dark day just turned as dark as can be... #Warrior #Gratitude

Fellow Canadians, yes, housing is a hot mess but this is sheer madness. Please, make healthcare a priority next election. We deserve better service from our hard earned tax dollars. #CdnPoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Wash. Your. Hands.

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.

Nope. Never. Non. Jamais. #PettyTyrantsClub #CdnPoli

Makes me want to pack my bags and settle there just to watch this play out... #IcelandRules www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Whatever got VP Kamala Harris through Jimmy Carter's funeral needs to be mass produced & added to our drinking water. #WomanofSteel

Another important must-read from @nickkristof.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/01/11/o...

Prediction for 2025 Word of the Year: Foment: instigate or stir up (an undesirable or violent sentiment or course of action). "they accused him of fomenting political unrest"

Reporting for duty...

There needs to be a special Golden Globe award for Emma Stone's hair. #PixiePerfection

Some good news for a change... #sciencerules

Heads up my fellow Canadians...

Yes, may it please. Happy 2025 to all.

Beams of warm light in this cold, dark world...

Raw milk is one of those ideas that can really only take hold when people haven't seen a cow. if you see a cow from let's say ten feet or less you immediately understand the problem that pasteurization is solving

Absolute treasure of a book...
