It's been over a dozen years but every now and then I think about how my 11th grade English teacher told me I couldn't submit my short story for an assignment cause the story took place over like 6 months. She said short stories can only take place in a short period of time, like a few hours.

Keep hoping I haven't got scammed by Premium Ejuice, but hope is fading away. Should have noticed: glitzy surface, huge number of my order, block on printing invoice. List on their site of every ejuice you've ever heard of. No delivery. DO NOT GET SCAMMED BY PREMIUM EJUICE.

The Toronto Star has a superb and complex article by Linda Svendsen reflecting on Alice Monro reacting to her fiction. It's fascinating reading but, alas, behind a pay wall. If you already subscribe to the Star, or don't mind subscribing, you might look it up.

There’s massive and increasing gender based violence against women. Preparing women, telling them the reality, and showing them statistics isn’t sexism. It’s fact that men are the main perpetrators of violence and not by a small percentage.

Agree. Pete doesn't hold a political office and has no official power. And yet people look up to him. Because people trust his character and moral compass.
