I asked this before over at The Old Place and the answers delighted me. So again:
Who is an artist you admire who you suspect would not like you if they met you personally?
I think Peter Dinklage is fantastic. I would absolutely get on his last nerve. He'd be looking for the door while we spoke.

I went into town to swim and write today, but now my arms hurt so bad I can't keep them up at the height of the library tables 😭

if you're in Alberta and you want your flu and covid shot in 2026 - yes you read that correctly - you have to preorder them right now. So here's the link. go do that. Just in case none of those people get removed from power by then.
please repost this, as the province seems bent on killing us.

I enjoyed that tribal council more than I have 99% of New Era tribals. No forced metaphors relating to someone's occupation! No "what would be YOUR story if this is the end?" Nate and Savannah called out the actual dynamics and put people's feet to the fire. It was messy and wonderful. #survivor49

In the clothing industry, the term CMT stands for "cut, make, trim." It means you are paying someone to cut, make, and trim the garment. Essentially, it's your manufacturing labor cost without taking into account the cost of material.
The CMT price for making a shirt in the US is about $35.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.
I'm talking about something very different.
Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.
Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.
But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿♂️
