Thank you to everyone who came out for Saturday's launch of Year's Best Canadian F&SF Vol 3 at @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social. It was standing room only and featured readings from 13 of our wonderful authors and poets. If you're looking for a copy of the anthology, Bakka has a bunch!

Great event tonight at Drawn & Quarterly in Montreal -- Cory Doctorow was amazing, inspiring. Realized the last time I saw him read / speak was most likely 2003 (TorCon).

At Drawn and Quarterly to see Cory Doctorow's tour for Enshitification (the book).
Was going to bring my copy of Down & Out but saw I got him to sign it at a con, many, many years ago (WorldCon Toronto 2003, maybe?)
