In my Ottawa mailbox today: a crate of mangos (mostly spoiled) from Pakistan via Toronto and the new @janecasey.bsky.social book via @kennysbookshop.bsky.social and Galway. At least the book won’t go bad!!

@sarramanning.bsky.social I just finished The Man of Her Dreams. Really neat premise, I wasn’t sure how it was going to end. I quite enjoyed it.

@harvilla.bsky.social Until the White Stripes ep I’d forgotten how much I loved White Blood Cells. I used to blast Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground angstily while writing polo sci essays about Walmartification and Canadian foreign policy and stuff. It helped!

Attempting a short story. As usual I can do characters and setting but not plots. Unless I shamelessly steal. Does anyone want a story that is solely characters doing very little? Is that a genre?

#Ottawa weather update: Bitchin' cold. Although if you commuted and got stranded for 10-20mins by a train or bus, in an thoughtfully designed open air station or shelter, you would already know this.
Light snow to appear at 9pm going to early morning. Peaking at midnight. 4cm.

Have spent much of my holidays on a @janecasey.bsky.social binge and I’m obsessed and love Maeve so much. Can’t wait to start the latest and see where she and Derwent end up!

@harvilla.bsky.social well just learned that from you that Butlerian jihad is something from Dune and not related to Judith Butler, post-modern theorist. Thanks!

Late to the party, but #badsisters is phenomenal! The acting is top-notch and I feel bad for the actor playing JP because he’s so loathsome people will be scowling at him for years to come. #speirgorm

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country.
They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

Very worried for Canada right now, a country my family has lived in for 210 years. Will support whichever party has a real plan to diversify the economy, strengthen ties w/Europe and Asia and promote Cdn culture, history and heritage which is NOT THE SAME AS THE USA 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦#canpoli
