How did we end up with a culture of people bragging about being planet-boilingly bad at their jobs Like do people genuinely not feel shame any more BRING BACK SHAME

The TikTok girlies (gender neutral) are hatching a plan to all buy copies of communion by hooks on Vance's release date. I will be participating.

#SpoonieAuthChat Far back as I can remember, I knew I wanted to be a writer. I think I've been bragging about how good an author I was going to be since Kindergarten. Didn't think I'd publish my first novel at 19, though! (Kindergarten me was sure it would be earlier!!)

I read a lot of books. Sometimes I review books I liked a lot. These two were highlights of the first quarter of 2026. Very similar covers, but represent two parallel threads of feminism: the hard work of nurturing new systems & the fight to dismantle broken ones. medium.com/reviewsday-t...

I'M IN THIS EVERYBODY BUY IT My story is about a young guy in the prairies with a really useless superpower

Had a SUPER time celebrating with @harkback.bsky.social & @melaniemarttila.bsky.social at the Super Canucks book launch in Sudbury on Saturday! Thank you again to the heroic efforts of @sooguy68.bsky.social & Matthew Del Papa for putting together this anthology of small-town Canadian superheroes.

We launched “SuperCanucks: An Anthology of Canadian Small-Town Superheroes” this past weekend. I co-edited the anthology and also have a story in it along with 10 other fabulous authors including @premeemohamed.com, @pbarmby.bsky.social and @myexplodingpen.bsky.social

If weather permits, I shall be making a 5hr trek up to Sudbury this Saturday for the launch of SuperCanucks. Looking forward to meeting a few of my fellow contributors and, of course, readers! 🍁

In just under a month, on March 21st from 1 to 3 pm, SuperCanucks will be having its Sudbury Launch at the main branch of the Greater Sudbury Public Library. If you’re in the area, come on out and support us! melaniemarttila.substack.com/p/supercanuc...

"SuperCanucks is an anthology that paints in all the colours, showing us many ways to be a hero. This is a deeply Canadian group of stories by some of our best short fiction writers. I enjoyed it immensely." —Kate Heartfield, Aurora-award winning author of The Embroidered Book

I first learned about the 52 Book Club in the middle of 2025, so I was behind the curve when I started on June 1st. Luckily, some of the books I’d already read as part of my Goodreads Reading Challenge counted toward various categories, so I was at least on my way! ... medium.com/reviewsday-t...

Happy #FungiFriday! Is this Strobilurus tenacellus, AKA pinecone cap?

Come on, scammers. At least edit the ai summaries when you send your "I loved your book, please pay me to promote it to my book club" emails!

Marriage is a trap. You let a man show you one (1) Star War and the next thing you know, you’re gluing wires on a belt so you can dress up as gay robots for Halloween.

Happy Halloween & #FungiFriday! Here's a creepy mushroom I photographed the other day. I've named it "Cyclops skull." #spooky!

Husband: Time to leave for our immigration appointment. We have to get our photos taken for residence cards. Me: 'Kay one sec, just let me GIVE MYSELF BANGS WITH KITCHEN SCISSORS. I am an absolute nightmare. In my defense, I was having a bad hair day. Plus #AuDHD. But the impulse bangs look FINE.

Publishers should be invested in promoting the books they publish.

It’s still a few months away from release but I’m at @canconsffh.bsky.social in Ottawa promoting the anthology about small town Canadian superheroes called Super Canucks that Mat Del Papa and I edited together. Coming March 2026 from @latitude46pub.bsky.social I have postcards to share. #cancon2025

My husband has inadvertently trained the local birds that if they knock on the kitchen window, someone will come put seeds in the birdfeeder. I work from home, and half my job now is attending to needy tits. The woodpecker is pretty though.

Happy #FungiFriday! Is this pose more "Come at me, bro!" or "Heyy guurl"?

Here's a fly agaric toadstool with a wee friend on top (thanks for posing!) for #FungiFriday

Happy Book Birthday to Choices: an anthology of reproductive horror, edited by @diannalgunn.bsky.social. To sum up my 5-star review: riveting, horrifying, brutal--and very, very necessary. medium.com/reviewsday-t...

My new article in #mondoweiss situating #Mamdani in relation to anti-Zionism in the Arabic-speaking and Jewish communities of 1920s NYC. Although the journal labels it an opinion piece, it is almost entirely historical. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mondoweiss.net

Eeeeee! Such a delightfully weird month with not one - but two - stories being published. Can't wait to review this book! #booksky #authorsky

Having stories in 2 bisexual anthologies coming out on the same day (Sept 23rd, Celebrating Bi+ Visibility Day!) feels like a personal Barbenheimer. A Bi-benheimer, if you will. Links for both on my homepage: www.cozydubois.com/ 🌈💜 💙📚 🌈📚
