Thank you to all the readers, authors and volunteers who made the first BC Author Book Fair a resounding success! We had over 500 attendees 😮 Hello from my booth, where I spent the day talking to lovely readers. Our mascot Creamsicle says hello and that she hopes some of you will become fans!

Another useful service falling prey to AI enshittification. This time it's Linktree. Thank you to those who posted helpful indie alternatives in the comments!

Saw the Backrooms movie yesterday (with a very vocal teen audience who were clearly familiar with its viral roots. It's okay -- they quieted down after the opening sequence). The movie did not disappoint: a delve into liminal horror that explores both the repulsion and attraction of its subject.

A fundamental issue with AI is that exists to generate unlimited amounts of media, but the value and meaning of media comes from how finite and limited it is, so its very existence makes anything like it worthless and meaningless. It is a technology that devalues itself and our culture.

I've often bounced off poetry and felt it wasn't for me. I write fiction - I prefer when what I'm reading or listening to has a clear message even if couched in metaphor. Poetry often feels too abstract to me.

I was looking through some old pictures I made for my newsletter when I came across a fun one I made of my writing desk, with helpful labels. Writers, what does your set up look like? I'd love to see the places where our community works! #WritingCommunity #writinglife
