Happy New Year 2026 - as 2025 comes to an end, let's look to this tiny tree for a lesson in persistence. The large stump washed ashore. Weathered by the years, sitting at the high tide line, someone decided to set fire to it. And yet - here is a tiny sapling that has taken root and flourished.

While we never wish for destruction in our lives, new life can take root in the ashes. May your 2026 be filled with many chances to flourish, even when it may seem impossible. #HNY #HappyNewYear #CampbellRiver #VancouverIsland

I remember when it came out and the reels of film came to my tiny town to be screened at our Rec Hall in Ucluelet.

I am rarely here Johannah - congratulations on this milestone, and progress to your goals. Happiest of New Years to you!

boring colours and boring structure too

hello Bulb Culture! Happy festive season to you. I am rarely here, and thankful to see a submission window.

thanks for commenting Donovan - I'm not here on Bsky much even though I've had an account for two years. Still mourn Twitter. Most people don't repost/share or comment. At least in my experience. Happy writing. Many defunct magazines this year.

and it's everywhere - not just in Vancouver and Victoria. Same here in Campbell River. The new "Re-Imagine the Row" will see rental above commercial in a block that was demolished. Who will be able to afford the new commercial rents?

on the news, from Duotrope, that one of my favourite little #litmags is defunct - I'd like to send a shout-out to editors and readers who work hard to bring our words to the world. Your efforts do not go unnoticed. Thank you! #WritingCommunity #PoetryCommunity #litmags

I remember that - thanks for clarifying Robert, I was just about to ask. So, installed in 1981 - only the second roof replacement in 40+ years.

I am feeling this right now - months of rejections have piled up. It's definitely feeling like a slog. But, we persist.

hope the heat dome subsides soon for you Mark - this is our reality often in the summer on the east coast of Vancouver Island.

thanks Robin - I haven't been here much. I did find it. I appreciate all your efforts.
July 1, 2025 at 7:46 PM
thank you Robin - and, I wonder - did I miss a June update?
