I am diving deep into auto-fiction over on Substack. Give me a subscribe open.substack.com/pub/elisefer...

You are Canadian, you are a writer, and you might be a winner. The CBC short story contest closes on November 1, so you still have time! www.cbc.ca/books/litera...

I say this with love: I hope Cardi B never stops having beefs, because her rage has creatively blessed us more than anything in the pop culture realm has for years.

If I could be the writer who invents the next Frankenstein that would be really great ok thanks bye

It's time we romanticized being generic. Adhering to genre is to follow in the hallowed footsteps of our venerable foreparents, leaving our scrawl on the palimpsest of humanity. Let yourself run joyfully through the meadows of tropes and archetypes, taking what it is you need.

I'm back and spookier than ever. Life certainly has seasons; let me tell you about the one I'm stepping into these days.

Sometimes I think I'm doing ok mentally and then I imagine Noah Kahan putting out a new song, and play it, and it's so good, and tears are streaming down my face listening to this song for the first time

Things you didn't realize meant you were poor growing up: Still considering paper towel a luxury

I am begging someone to crate train me

They can always tell when you are listening to Noah Kahan on your little mental health walk

Crazy I thought oreos were for rich kids growing up

No one is writing lyrics like breastfeeding myself anymore and that's a crying shame

What a relief to be back in a country with mean baristas

Canada your city streets are too nice that's your problem

Need more dopamine to get through this move

Prefigurative is when your bestie gets your dog through Customs by saying you are a household and then the next day someone gives you a car to share and you get on a waitlist for a puppy so now we really are a household

Sorry I can't talk about AI, my dog isn't here

Remind me to never be apart from my dog ever again

I cannot function without a minimum of one (1) small, semi feral, non-human animal living in my home with me.

In the summer of 2020 I was chronically on Twitter and a local librarian posted looking for reqs for a visit to my hometown. That connection eventually became a very close friendship-They are a brother to me. This week, he paid his own way to Mexico to help me get my beloved dog home to Canada.

My bestie is on a plane right now coming to help me with my second international move in less than a year, and I just did some annoying life admin I am very proud of but I can't text him to tell him about it so I am overcome with inner turmoil about it instead of relief.

For fathers' day I am listening to a podcast episode on the fall of Rome

I'm on the side of the hotties in masks standing on the burned out cars just for the record

Found myself referring to my darling husband of 16 years as my bestie's metamour today and that's what I consider winning at life

The smile AI puts on human faces is actually a corgi smile

Dogs have shorter life spans so I have no choice but to kiss mine 7x more than any human

If you've ever amicably shared a cucumber or carrot with a dog you were not the same after

Hey ra ra Liberals folks... you seeing Bill C-2?

You ever see a dog just grinning away in their cone and think wow she doesn't even know that this is temporary she's just accepted her fate and found other things to be happy about wtf idk if I'm inspired or disgusted

There's nothing I hate more than a happy politician

Misgendering sucks. My long haired eleven year old just got a shorter cut coz he was so tired of it. Even worse for us trans and gender bendies but still sucked for him.

We really need some hetero romance about average sized men or even short kings.

At the stage of friendship where I gave the air a fist bump when I learned my bestie's dog peed and pooed after a surgery

It's so wonderful you are so bonded to you dog...oh yeah? You mean like when she gets spayed and all I can do is lay on the floor moaning beside her? You mean bonded like that?

My kids when I refer to our female dog as a b1tc6

I need to get rich because my corgi needs me to get another corgi

If someone is going through a hard time you can always just bring them food you don't even have to wait to be asked

People are like oh you live in different countries, you must miss your bestie. Meanwhile my bestie once navigated me through LAX over the phone when I was about to miss my connecting flight.

My significant other? Sorry, I actually have a signifier and a signified.

Wait until the poly people discover being best friends with someone

If you use the word voila please cease and desist

Romantic, platonic friendship is the best thing in my life

Canadians have a deep dark secret and it's that we know we aren't as cool as Australians

Big frayed t-shirts and designer perfume is absolutely gold and if you haven't stumbled across it yourself, I suggest you try

It seems cool to raise native bilinguals until they end up with an accent in both languages

If you are asking, I've never watched that movie. I have, however, watched the trailer and read the Wikipedia.

Oh no a whole aesthetic change is coming on

A smutty bookstore called Happy Endings.

Don't stop believing by Journey and Fast car by Tracy Chapman have the same energy and I will not explain
