Slow attempts at writing spec fic 🥀 in love with golden hour, em dashes and reverb.
Human rights and climate IRL.
In Canada, from elsewhere.

Thank you @undertow.bsky.social! I'm excited to burrow myself into these on the Canadian long weekend.

My weird fiction exposure so far has been Vandermeer, Mieville, and mostly older works and I'm trying to read more widely and discover new authors because: what a gorgeous genre.

Timeline cleanse

(It's for me just as much as for you)

Flagging fake news left and right on YouTube. At first it was funny and now I am tired. Any other Canadians see this influx of ads featuring either Mark Carney or Jagmeet Singh being "arrested"?

I used to romanticize discovery writing but I'd get so lost in the wild garden of what's possible. Now I realize there is both freedom in structure and within the right container. This episode of @storybeast.bsky.social with @alixeharrow.bsky.social is so good!

BREAKING:

The ultimate power known as the sun decided to shine prettily through a window on a snow-filled day in Toronto. "Nobody expected this," a bystander said. "It is winter. In Canada."

Library haul: all anthologies edited by @jonathanstrahan.bsky.social they had available. Already, I've 'discovered' a writer whose work leaves me breathless and hungry for more: Nina Allan, The Lichen, in Someone in Time. I am all flustered. I am so happy I have her whole oeuvre ahead of me.

Calling on Weird Toronto!
Anyone know what this is? Door appeared under the Gardner and QR code leads to a weird dream research organization projectkuri.org

Is it for real or maybe an ARG? Trying out the hashtag here #1TOEXIST

Just finished reading Lauren Groff's new novel and feel very moved and still inside.

Anyone want to exchange thoughts?
