Never been interested in a Marvel film, let alone Fantastic Four, but for some reason I feel an urge to see this one. A desire, a need. Weird. Can’t figure out why

I just submitted 100K words of #MonoGame awesomeness to my publisher. It'll be a while yet, but things are officially in motion.
I'll share more when I've recovered from the marathon writing/editing sessions of the past few weeks, but here are some screenshots for now.

My partner is writing and my kid is out for a few hours, so the only logical thing to do is to watch Twilight, drink wine, and eat dark chocolate. On occasion, being a cliche feels pretty fine.

I’m not great at self-promotion…BUT for my last few books, I get my nails done to match the book cover. In my mind, that’s as much promo as anyone needs!? 😂💅🏽💋

Over the last 52 weeks, there have been 62 women and children killed in Ontario.
They were loved. They were members of our communities.
They should still be here.
Please bear witness. Know their names. Then fight like hell to ensure it never happens again.

This week I taught a class to business students on gender and social inequality.
After, a student thanked me for my teaching and asked for more resources on gender, etc. He said he wants to be “more gentle” & “help create a better environment for those around him”.
A prof can’t ask for more. 🤍

So grateful when someone lets me know that they’ve read Gendered Bodies and that they couldn’t put it down.
That’s a big deal for an academic-ish book! ☺️🤍

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.
