Apparently, our interstellar traveller has split into 3 pieces while hiding from our easy view behind our sun. This isn't what comets normally do, in fact very little of what 3iAtlas has done has been normal. The continuing narrative is that it's just a weird comet...

It’s another Saturday at the library!

Just trying to convince everyone and anyone to swing by and grab a book…maybe get a little reading done…maybe stare out one of our massive windows and ponder the meaning of life…the possibilities at the library are endless!

November and December typically account for 20%+ of an indie bookshop’s annual sales.

Our support is needed to help them keep the lights on in the new year. Shop small this holiday season & beyond, so your indie can support your community in 2026 & beyond.

I fear that I will die without accomplishing anything.

What I need to remember is I don't have to, say, publish a book to accomplish something. I accomplish a little something every time I make you think or even laugh.

Those that lament Chicago’s low ranking in the annual list of bike-friendly cities should pipe down. A city that doesn’t give equal priority to clearing bike and car lanes can’t claim to be a bike-friendly city. This is Clybourn Avenue, which holds a protected bike lane corridor to Downtown.

The objective of your short fiction writing is to expand your visibility in the publishing world. Your writing is excellent for finding actual readers of your genre. Readers are your buyers of novels. Today you overcome your procrastination and write something short.

Between 1927 and 1931 Faber produced The Ariel Poems – a series of seasonal, illustrated poetry pamphlets – sent to authors, friends and acquaintances in place of a Christmas card. There were 38 pamphlets made in the first series, with a further 8 printed when they were briefly brought back in 1954.

Got some words down, didn’t count them, filling spaces in a story that is beginning to feel solid and real.

Community resilience in communities through crisis is a thing that research has explored. But what does it look like on the ground?

Lumines Arise and Sektori are keeping me going right now. If you're a creative person wondering why you keep on keeping on even though the world is a shitshow?

Thank you. We need art right now. Please make games and movies and shows and paintings and poems and minis. It's powerful. We need it.

Salute to Toronto for this pivot:

Ontario premier Doug Ford banned Toronto from building new bike infrastructure that replaces car lanes.

Toronto's response: Narrow but retain existing car lanes, freeing enough space to keep installing bike lanes. (Better yet, narrower traffic lanes are safer.)
'It's a win-win': How Toronto is planning 20km of new bike lanes without defying Ford
The City of Toronto is also planning $30-million worth of infrastructure upgrades, including bike lanes, cycle tracks, and trails.
