I am incredibly excited to announce my first short story publication, in long con magazine! "Psychopomp" is a story about sharing a bizarre experience with someone you know is about to leave your life for good. But it also has weird moths and a capybara-looking alien. longconmag.com/issue-2-2/je...

What do people without anxiety think about when they're getting a massage? Because I have a feeling they're not imagining what would happen if the fire alarm went off while they were lying there in their skivvies.

Is anyone else repeatedly getting ads on YouTube with A.I. generated images showing Mark Carney getting arrested? I have reported these things five times now. Today's included a CBC logo, so they're impersonating the news, and when I accidentally clicked on it, it took me to a blog about weddings.

It occurs to me that I should take songs with references to drowning off my swimming playlist. Though it would be truly on brand for me to actually drown with Raine Maida droning "I'LL BE WAVING MY HAND..." in my ears.

How does one prevent one's cat from doing very stupid things, such as attempting to climb into the hot oven?

At work I keep typing "nori" instead of "Noir." Sushi History Month would be an entirely different sort of event.

Adventures in sewing my own pants: yes I am unpicking the waistband for a SECOND time because even if it seemed the right fit when I pinned it, there is still so much ease that I can fit my whole arm in

I have now finally come into possession of the five logs of vegan cheese that I was promised out of the large box (valued at $400) that was delivered to my parents by mistake and which they were told to keep. It's the fake chèvre kind. What do I eat it with? Normally a real chèvre eater, personally.
