I write fiction about violence, evil, love, and grace. Disabled. Autistic. Comically awkward history nerd and mother hen. #PWHL fan -- allez, Victoire! She/her. Canadian. Let's be excellent to one another.
Happy Canada Day!

Every time I vote, I wear my "Votes for Women" sash, a nod to the suffragists who endured hellacious nonsense and abuse.
So, to all who ever said, or still say, "Hell, no!" to votes for women, I present this gift: a puff of medicinal cannabis smoke in your face.

Fellow cyclists with chronic pain issues and a generous posterior: favourite bike saddles? My current saddle is a little wider, with the oval cut-out. (That cut-out is a game-changer.)
Is anyone using a wide nose-less saddle? The cut-out is great, but I also wonder about those nose-less options.

Umanageable hair, a lifetime problem, somewhat eased by an undercut.
I like to think it's a sign of an unmanageable mind.

Hey, it's Christopher Marlowe's birthday!
The text is from Hero and Leander: "Honour is purchas'd by the deeds we do." It's an idea that subverts itself, inviting the question of why honour need be transactional, a subtlety a good Canterbury boy and divinity student would revel in.

I wanted to be a goalie so much. Girls playing hockey at all, never mind actual girls' teams, was a non-concept here in NL in the 70s and 80s. Also: figure skates. Try a breakaway with toe-picks.
Still wonder why I love the PWHL?

Artemisia Gentileschi, Judith Slaying Holofernes.
Caravaggio came close. Gentileschi does it better.
