To celebrate Jewish book month, and its incredible 100th anniversary, I’m sharing a small fraction of my Jewish book collection 🩷🩷📚 There are so many incredible Jewish writers whose work has inspired me so much.

It was so nice to start a launch with my editor walking in right beforehand and saying "You got a starred review!"

Reviews aren't for writers yadayadayada but it's always so bizarre and humbling when someone really understands what you were trying to do:

I genuinely love when you’re in a liminal space, like an airport, and then you have to pass through a liminal space in the liminal space, like a weird hallway under construction - that’s the feeling I’m always looking for in my writing

On the one hand I'm stranded at the airport for several hours.

Tomorrow is the two year anniversary of Skin Thief: Stories! I'm very proud of this book. I put it together during the darkest period of my adult life. I felt very alone and friendless when I sent it out into the world and it brought me so much love in return. Thank you to everyone who's read it. 🖤

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

will never understand how Canadians became known for saying “eh” when we should be known for our ability to make the phase “okay buddy” mean everything from “of course I will give my life for yours” to “I am the drunkest man alive and I am going to fight you in this parking lot”
