Pierre Poilievre saying all Carney has is slogans is so bizarre. Pierre’s whole brand is slogans. He might as well say Carney is just a Milhouse lookalike with a nasally voice and no security clearance.

I’ve been reading a lot of non fiction about how to respond to todays horrors and this book (mutual aid by dean spade) is a really accessible, quick and solid read about building solidarity during crisis

Every day I open my document to edit thinking this’ll just take a minute and when I look up it’s 735pm

Unfortunately, a couple is engaging in very gross, off-putting PDA on my train. But just when I began to accept life is an inescapable nightmare, I looked up and exchanged an expression so pained with a fellow passenger that I now feel hope. At least we’re in this nightmare together, guy on train

Writing on a train is always humbling because I’ll look away from my laptop to check my phone, get distracted, and lookup to see I’ve left my screen zoomed into words like lesbian and cuckhold

Im in Portland Maine now and chatted at the print bookstore last night. 💘💖💕💗

This was the last stop on my little US book tour. Thanks for tagging along with me. The last picture here is representative of my crushed heart after enduring people being too nice to me.
