Writers, if doing shit like this isn't what really gets you going & gets you geeked, you're not in it because you like writing. We love the minutia, the nitpicking, knitting our brows over the trifles. That's us. Real writers. Not folks who plug things into ChatGPT.

Just met @faitherinhicks.bsky.social and @ryannorth.ca at Vancouver FanExpo and it turns out that even at my big age I can still embarrass myself meeting artists I like

It does really hit you that American artists of color continue to make these aesthetically incredible, thematically rich works of art and the white supremacists that rule this country are just complete dullards

source: "um... well, what kind of lawyer are we talking about"
me: *writing down enthusiastically* there are types of lawyers

Don’t point it out or they’ll take it away out of misplaced white guilt and then we will have zero months

Oh my GOD you're right. Paddington actually is the quintessential adoptee character. He is the anti-Stuart Little.

I've got friends and family still dealing with trauma from their experiences with involuntary care growing up. Often young people turn to substance use in an attempt to cope or escape from high-control households. "Strengthening access to involuntary care" means empowering their abusers.

The open secret that Thomas King is not Indigenous at all is finally verified, and honestly it's a relief. Having him just confess this instead of going out kicking and screaming like so many before him causes a LOT less harm to Indigenous communities.

It still sucks though.
