I do so love a good book haul. 💚📚 Thanks for running a great launch @anotherstoryto.bsky.social, @syrusmarcusware.bsky.social for being a brilliant interlocutor and @slamble1.bsky.social for the juicy book talk on such a timely topic (Unsafe: The Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash).

Annie Dillard has left us. I'm so sad to learn of her passing. I've only read one of her books but I adored it - her small 1989 gem, The Writing Life. In honour of her life and her genius, I'm going to post my favourite excerpts. 🧵

This is such a cool project! I'd never heard of it, including the markers in my very own city. #canada #booklover #reading
I had no idea about this!
There should be government grants for this.

Current bouquet. Feels like the perfect late summer vibe! I love that the farmers' market has a flower-seller who offers locally grown bouquets that incorporate both cultivated flowers and wildflowers, and they're super affordable.

I think 20-year-old me would be aghast at what 48-year-old me had gone through and would be disappointed, but not *by* me exactly, more that I got derailed so hard from big life goals by rare, severe, hard-to-diagnose health problems. But also proud that I survived and did some worthwhile things.
Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?

He really just wants to bully everyone he possibly can, doesn't he? Meanwhile we're all just rooting for some stray blood clot to hit its mark.
Trump is threatening to cut off all trade to the European Union if Canada becomes an associate member, and I give it a few months before the only people the White House will be trading with is Don Jr.'s cocaine dealers

Another magnetic this week because my nails are still short! 404 Soul Not Found by Mooncat. I also tried a new tool, the Bliss Kiss Nano-file, which smooths off and seals the peeling parts of a nail. I've never seen an effect quite like it. Maybe this will stop the peeling for good. Time will tell!

Thanks, scammers, but although I'm flattered you think my 2024 book Post-Nonmonogamy and Beyond could be longlisted for the 2027 Booker Prize, I am humble enough to think you're utterly full of shit generally, and also you also don't know how the Booker Prize works specifically. 😂

Good. It's amazing that these artists are taking a stand. Ed sounds like a nice guy who was trying to play it safe and is now losing out big time. Neutrality isn't a possibility here.
Ed Sheeran’s tour of North and South America was plunged into chaos Tuesday when four of his supporting acts — including his touring band — abruptly quit in solidarity with the rapper Macklemore, who was dropped for making pro-Palestinian comments onstage.

Let's give them a warm welcome, Canada! And by warm I mean, like, pissing in their food, building a nice bonfire for those sweatshirts, maybe a little pepper spray, kinda thing.
These jerks , on their way to visit Halifax and insult their Canadian hosts aren't helping either.

I saw a post earlier saying I need to integrate AI into my workflow as an artist or I'll be left behind. Sure I've seen dozens of posts like this before, but I'm really seriously thinking about it now and I am at a total loss as to what it would possibly do to improve my work.
