Author friends, I have to move away from Mailchimp because they are going to charge for email automation now and I don't have a big enough subscriber base/writer income to justify a paid plan. Top alternative contenders include MailerLite and Brevo.

Greetings new followers! I am a weird little guy who lives in the woods. If you came for my political posts, brace yourself for mostly jokes and love of media. My second book, WEARING THE LION, drops in June!
Wearing the Lion by John Wiswell: 9780756419547 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
"This novel effortlessly ascends to the heights of Mount Olympus. Tough and tender and bittersweet. Wearing the Lion establishes Wiswell firmly on the new fantasy landscape." —T. Kingfisher, Hugo...

As a bilingual person, my new favourite tech feature is dual language keyboards w/ autocorrect that can differentiate when I’m typing En/Fr, En/It, or En/Ko. (I’m only bilingual En/Fr, but my learning It/Ko clued me into the keyboard business)

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

OMFG that Ukraine Oval Office mess is the most disgusting thing I've seen in a long time. Vance can fuck right off about Ukraine not saying thank you. How asinine can you get?

NO @searchliaison.bsky.social, this is ABSOLUTELY NOT a *state* park.
We have provincial parks in Canada, and we are still a sovereign nation, despite certain musings.
