Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.

Sure hope the institutions posting lots of “never again” today think about what that actually means. And maybe re-examine their actions regarding very current and present wars and genocides.

Nothing like writing a Bad Dad story to make you feel totally fine and normal about things.

"Temu Camille Paglia" may be the greatest insult in the English language.

Nice to see @onspecmag.bsky.social acknowledged by the CBC: www.cbc.ca/arts/on-spec...

1/ NEW: We identified 20 people who attended a white nationalist conference and, despite their efforts to keep it secret, caught another 30 people on film to identify in the future. Several MMA/combat sports instructors were discovered and their gyms have cut ties. 🧵👇

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Watched Bram Stoker's Dracula for the first time last night. I think it may be both the horniest and the most 90s film I have ever seen.

Forgot it was Hal-Con weekend until a wizard sat in front of me on the bus.

HALIFAX! In just over two hours I will be at Cafe Lara reading and discussing post-traumatic narratives. It is free to attend! I'm looking forward to seeing you! afterwordsliteraryfestival.com/product/refr...

underrated worst guy: guy who comes to poetry reading and goes HMMMMMM very loudly after each line

Post you from a different era.

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

One of the most beautiful things about the Irish is their respect for the arts. You find live music at most bars, I went to a literary pub crawl & saw monuments & museums dedicated to writers, poets, musicians, etc. They understand the value of supporting artists & I wish Canada did, too.

Transgressive queer horror fiction? Oh yes, I’m a fan—as long as it’s not problematic of course

it is very telling, to me, that this place has a “Rude” label built-in when one of the things the right wing has weaponized so much online is “polite” bigotry and hate So when a member of a marginalized group pushes back strongly against that “polite” hate, they get labeled “rude” or banned.

Quick reminder if you’re in Halifax we’re a university city with a most excellent selection of independent shops. Le French Fix, Glitterbean, @tridenthalifax.bsky.social , Uncommon Ground, the Daily Grind. At that’s in the downtown alone. Dilly Day & West End off Quinpool…

NONPLUSSED DOES NOT MEAN THAT STOP IT

Cover reveal for Carnalis, my lesbian cannibal novella, which is out in MARCH from @nictitatingbooks.bsky.social!!

Always fun to catch a glimpse of Grey Dog in the circ room!

When other gays call me "gay married" for fun: hehehe yes this is a fun joke we share as homos and homo-adjacents When straight people try to get in on the joke: Ummmmmm wow you can just say married?????? :////

The stories in RUBBLE CHILDREN by Aaron Kreuter explore contemporary Jewish Canadian identity. Now available in audio as well as print and e-editions! https://bit.ly/4bXHSzF @aaronkreuter.bsky.social #MiddleEast #Fiction #CanLit #JewishIdentity #Toronto

Important update a week and a half into marriage: the Missus and I are still grabbing each other and shouting YOU'RE MY WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No word when, if ever, this phase will end.

Reminder this beauty is out in the world. undertowpublications.com/shop/best-we...

There is not much to recommend about the experience of getting an MRI, but it IS nice to have a half hour in which checking social media is literally impossible.

Hey everyone! In addition to the previously announced nonfiction workshop and Matthew J. Trafford interview, I will be hosting a lecture at the AfterWords Festival in Halifax on post-traumatic narratives. Hope to see you there! afterwordsliteraryfestival.com/product/refr...

#Halisky, there is a neat event coming up for people who are unhoused, at risk, or otherwise under-served. Service Canada's Day of Caring, in Sackville! Plz share if you know someone who'd benefit.

Good advice, if a bit unfair to street bologna.

Horror adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" when.

Remember that this production saw: The star fired for objecting to genocide. The second star quitting in protest over the firing of the first. The studio lying and saying the second star quit for scheduling conflicts.

Plato figuring out how soulmates work:

Dressed up for Mother's birthday.

I deleted my account, recreated my account, deleted, remade, got banned by BlueSky, got unbanned… You’re probably not following this account. I’m a bit wishy-washy when it comes to social media. I believe I’m back for good. I have a lot to share soon. Please repost to help folks find me again. 🖤

I did not realize when I changed my name to Elliott that this climactic scene happens on MY LITERAL BIRTHDAY. (It's my birthday today, by the way!)

And the winner is Bury Your Gays by Sofia Ajram

Jaws is way more homoerotic than I remembered.

Two Biblioasis authors are finalists for the Quebec Writers' Federation Literary Awards! Lazer Lederhendler for his translation of Christophe Bernard's THE HOLLOW BEAST, and stephanie roberts for her collection UNMET. Cheers to both, and fingers crossed for the winners announcement Nov 10 🎉

Happy November 1st! Welcome to second October. Things are dying. Night comes sooner, hungrier than in the summer. The cold is here. Things haunt the woods. Snow can trap you, Donner Party your plans. Colds and flus awake, go hunting. Yeah, it’s still spooky season. It’s always spooky season.

There’s ALSO still time to read the creepy, strange, and complex Misplaced by @brittnibrinn.bsky.social for your Halloween or 2025 reads 🖤🖤

I put these on him once a year and he hates every goddamn minute of it.

I didn't kill anybody! And I didn't burn down the mill, either! My sister did! But now she's been eaten by wolves!

shout out to the 1% of Canadians who rock with vampires but if someone mentions zombies they’re like "source??"

A feature every social media should have is a button where you can pin the panel of Ray Gets Sort of Stoned that best describes how high you are so everyone knows What Your Deal Is right now

This is a freaking amazing book. You should buy yourself a little Halloween treat.

You must eat the technicolor eraserhead baby every 3 miles

Watching the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror for some reason. Unable to suspend my disbelief re: the casting of Ryan Reynolds as a kind-hearted family man. That dude has the angriest eyes I have ever seen.

In the last season of The Righteous Gemstones a character refers to putting on a costume as "playing dress-em-ups" and it has entirely broken the way me and the Missus speak. Telling a joke is now doing joke-em-ups. Having dinner is eat-em-ups. Getting married is wife-em-ups.
