Sorrow will have its seasons and its reasons, but let us leave a window open for joy. Some days, simply carrying on asks more of us than anyone can see. Keep going gently. The effort matters because the life you are tending is your own.

I hate how the horrific crime in this article is softened by calling the accused "teen" throughout. In fact, this was a 17 YO boy viciously assaulting an 8 YO girl. A 17 YO is a man under the law and he's at least 18 now so call him a man or at least a boy FFS www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The devouring of Catapult Books is a disaster for their writers, especially those who have forthcoming books there, but you can still support them by preordering and requesting them at your local library books.catapult.co/category/car...

Book folks, Catapult press announced they're going under last night. However, it sounds like their current round of publishing—including my aunt's book—will still go through. Please consider preordering The River Drowns the Able Swimmer wherever you buy fine books today.

Countdown Day 18! Why space? We are spatial creatures; prisons are spatial phenomena. The way space is organized can make people separate or connect, can alienate us from ourselves and one another. And space is all over our theology too.

I have nothing but deep respect for this loving couple who are now cats in heaven. This is the afterlife liberals want.

The voting polls on Alberta’s referendum separation close later tonight but ahead of that we check back in with Charlotte Morritt-Jacobs on what Indigenous leaders and treaty rights experts are saying to Indigenous communities about the petition.

Strongly agree, and at the same time, Western Canada (not just Alberta!) has longstanding, very real complaints about the unfair balance of federal power and capital that have never been addressed. Fueling divisiveness has been a policy of both the Liberals & the Cons for decades.

The @morningtransport.bsky.social always delivers but this James Morrow story is brilliant and as playful and surprising as anything Morrow has done (and he's done plenty of playful, surprising, brilliant things): www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/john-and-t...

James Morrow shows us how it’s done @morningtransport.bsky.social this morning: JOHN AND THE COSMOS. I am making delighted noises @franwilde.bsky.social edits www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/john-and-t...

Very excited to have “The Three Paths You Take Upon the Death of Your Beloved Sister” out today at SMT!! 🖤🖤🖤

Anyone who sells you a tool that promises to outsource the work of your relationships, or the loving tasks of connecting to our friends and family, is someone who is trying to rob you of your own humanity. For god's sake. Say no to this. Say no to all of it.

Oh, is it International Lesbian day? Then read my lesbian stoner buddy comedy with fairies about Brexit. A book so queer it contains zero cis men, "she" is the only pronoun, and the trans men roll with it. Everybody lesbian now! www.amazon.com/dp/B09CNDSKZH/

The audiobook for A WALL IS ALSO A ROAD is low-key blowing up, and it's all because of the incredible narrator Jess Nahikian, who is delivering queer David Attenborough vibes. Here is a delicious sample for you to hear! Get the audiobook wherever they are sold, or check it out from your library!
