ICYMI, my sister's SFF adaptation of P&P will be published by Inanna in Sept'26. Living on a generation ship with clockwork machines & greenhouse agriculture alters Regency society and the trajectories of much-beloved characters! No spoilers but a much-beloathed character dies!

don’t doomscroll. read a chapter instead.

Moose House! This is a frigging travesty, these cuts are so dumb. Books by Nova Scotians about Nova Scotia are going to be much harder to get published if this budget goes through.

This issue has such a lovely review of Every Galaxy a Circle 🥺 and a kind review of my story from Weird Horror Issue 12.🥺

They think that adding honeybees to our city is helping to solve the problem! Shit! Now we have the very delicate task of not discouraging them from engaging while gently correcting the misconception. This is hard! It feels like disarming an explosive.

Me plotting my next novel right now. #AmWriting #BookSky

It's crazy that I at least have one book floating around. Now if only I could get this other collection published finally, my two novels completed and sent out, and my third poetry collection composed, I'd feel really accomplished. Back to writing purgatory to toil away.

If there's one rally that I go to it's going to be this one and I hope to see you all there. #BikeHFX

Oh byes I am pissed. Here's what I wrote to my MLA, the blameless Claudia Chender, and here's where I will be next Tuesday and Wednesday instead of working on my next novel. Rally images stolen from @ecologyaction.bsky.social and Page 1 Theatre on IG. @timhouston.bsky.social #NSpoli #JesusMurphy

NS is tabling a budget today, and the government is signalling cuts to the civil service and public programs to address a large deficit. The NS Alternative Budget shows the choices they could have made to meet the needs of Nova Scotians: www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc... #nspoli

NS conservative Premier Houston’s austerity budget is cutting the heart out of the province, because of the massive deficit his govt incurred. NS needs revenue, but the govt continues to give away many millions of pristine water for … $729. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/environment/...

Epic icicle conglomerate at Glitter Bean Cafe, and a fun poster inside. #Halifax

The mayor, who is trying to cut HalifACT funding, is worried that the chair's comments may make people believe he's a climate denier. Yeah, no, we think that because you do things like tell councillor Austin that climate change isn't as important as the political gain(?) of low taxes this year

one thing to consider is that in the era of american decline, american dreams will become smaller, meaner, and more meager while still being portrayed as bountiful. exhortations like this serve as a kind of propaganda to remind citizenry to want less rehabilitating hoover is a step
