Soo...when I let my hair and bangs go wavy/curly, I look like Eddie Van Halen?!? If only I could channel the guitar skills.

I'm breaking up with all the badness in the world, so I got bangs.

I haven't put my costume back on yet, but I need to show you the spooky fun earrings I've been wearing all day!

Common mix-up in 🇨🇦

Or we're just informal with our horror icons, eh?

Saying a big #HappyHalloween because it's my favourite day and the bastards of the world don't get to take my joy!

Pic is from a poetry reading I did on the 29th, but I'll recreate it tonight for trick-o-treaters. 🎃

Shows me your costume, or pets in costume, to be spared my scarecrow wrath! 🧡💀🖤

Cate wanted to let you all know that my debut poetry book, Confirm Humanity, has arrived in the world today!

She only gave it 2 stars, but honestly, she can't read, so you might want to check it out for yourselves! 💜💀💜

My weird little #microfiction has a home on the side of a beer can! Cool stuff!

Thanks to Blindman Brewing and @bellyofawhale.bsky.social for curating another round of Session Stories ❤️

If you're in #AB, head to your local beer & wine store to check out the 20 other fantastic poems and stories!

Share someone who looks stylish wearing the colour brown.

Any excuse to post my girlfriend Cate. 🤎

I truly thought I was looking at felt pen tips for quite some time, and I'm taking that as a personality/brain win.

For #SmallPoemSunday I'll share this wee one of mine that received an Honourable Mention in the 2025 Ultrashort Poetry Competition through the Ontario Poetry Society

Too many tomatoes = so much bruschetta!

But no one is complaining.

Yes, the world is a trashfire, which is MORE reason for me to lean into the joy of #SpookyMonth, and post a festive #NewProfilePic from a bygone #Halloween.

Poetry pals in #YEG, I'll be the featured reader at The Nightingale series at the Kasbar on October 29, which also happens to be the pub day for my book! And yes, I WILL BE IN SPOOKY COSTUME 💀🖤🧡

I ❤️ ketchup chips. And you.

Maybe your #caturday needs a pretty little Cate face.

I had the pleasure of interviewing poet Natalie Lim about her debut poetry collection Elegy For Opportunity for the @oncreativewriting.bsky.social podcast! The book is stellar, and I think our conversation was pretty interesting too! :)

Since it's Monday in the hellscape, I think you all need the best thing I saw this weekend...and maybe ever: This dog on a motorcycle, being cool AF
