Outside of Augur, Lois enjoys giving her dog furcuts, going on foodie adventures, and browsing antique shops! 🛍️

A dark purple background with a white square boarder enclosing a bio that reads: "Lois L.K. Chan is a writer that identifies as the space in between "Chinese Canadian". Her work has been published in Flash Fiction Magazine and Gingerbread House Literary Magazine, and typically explores themes of anti-colonialism, liminality, and family. She was born and raised in the traditional territories of the Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Anishnabeg, Seneca, Chippewa, and the Mississaugas of the Credit (Markham, Ontario), and is currently finishing her undergraduate degree in Creative Writing at the University of British Columbia, on Musqueam territory (Vancouver, British Columbia). When she's not writing, you can find her thinking about writing as she browses antique stores, makes endless cups of tea, and somehow, manages to get lost on the beach." in white text.

Our next free piece is ONE, TWO, WE, OUR, by @marisca.bsky.social. The coziest witchy cottage filled with the quiet noise of creatures and the life of the natural world. Take a deep breath, and relax into the beauty of it.

One, Two, We, Our by Marisca Pichette
You’ve always loved counting things. Not composing massive lists or numbering the listing piles of folded sheets on the ladder-back dining room chairs your grandfather left you.

Our first free piece is THE WINDKEEPER by @srinivassimo.bsky.social. Dusty plains, new connections, and a very good doggo. Featuring this GORGEOUS piece of art from Jacob Tonellato!

Check it out here: augursociety.org/the-windkeep...
In dusty reddish-gold tones, a vast sky over dusty plains. A field of wind turbines fills the space, with a small house (white walls hosting dangling paraphernalia, peaked red tin roof) at their base. A traveller in a windswept coat, backpack, and mask stands in the foreground, headed towards the house. In front of the house, two smaller figures: one a person with their hand raised in greeting; the other a very good dog waiting patiently.
