A fortune cookie paper says that now is a good time to finish up old tasks. I know, I know...

Et tu, fortune cookie

We had several years with no TV and a library a ten minute walk away with a cornucopia of entertainment. Libraries are the good place.

The voice. Which is really their perspective conveyed into prose.

A good main character lies at an odd angle against the plane of the world.

Ooo Columbo. Where are you catching it? That show was so fun.

4-panel comic. (1) [person in the sky unpacks skateboard from parachute bag] I guess this is on me. I should really keep my skateboarding gear and my parachutes in different-looking bags. (2) [person looking down at skateboard as they fall] (3) [person falling wile holding skateboard in one hand and phone making “beep beep” sound in the other] (4) (person still falling with skateboard, now talking on phone] Hello, Pro Skate Parks LLC? I’d like to place an extremely expedited order for a 600-foot halfpipe.

With our new issue, we are making the sad announcement that this will be the final year for On Spec. See www.onspec.ca for details.

Best #stetwalk ever. Walked over to the local salmon stream, and there they were! The salmon! Coming upstream!

Yay! That's fantastic!

A bunny catches a flight by holding both legs of a bat, who is flying across a starry night sky. Another bat follows closely behind them, and they are currently going over a small body of water.

I saw Sense and Sensibility too! Loved the staging, particularly the rolling chairs.

That cover is quite striking.

I didn't make it to that one! Just Winter's Tale.

Two women hold a sign that reads “Lowest Funded Public Schools: The Alberta (Dis)Advantage” in a crowd of people on the Alberta Legislature grounds.

Signs line a walkway at the Alberta Legislature grounds. One says “Chicka, Chicka, DOOM DOOM, Fund our classrooms!” and the other says “My Friend is SAD, My Friend is MAD!”

A large crowd gathers on the Alberta Legislature grounds. The Legislature building is prominently seen with golden leaves and a clear blue sky shown.

What a heartening sight at the Alberta Legislature grounds today. It was an honour to be there with my friend, @prairievixen.bsky.social, amongst a crowd of people who care deeply about public education. #AbLeg #AbEd #RedForEd #IStandWithTeachers

So glad you had that turnout!

I heard Eat It well before Beat It so as far as I'm concerned it's the original.

From top to bottom: Ornamental grass with seedheads, magenta flowers, and purplish-green foliage. The grass and flowers are bathed in late-afternoon sunlight.

Beautiful light, late this afternoon.

I need to get back to it myself. Was making great progress but you really need to keep immersed in it!

I say that as someone who loves to recall my own gaming stories. 😂

I just try to aim them at those who were actually there, in sympathy for glazed eyes.

Perfecto, mi amiga 👏

It's really not that much different from people saying "here let me show you all 1537 pictures I took on vacation and describe them in detail" including the names and histories of all the strangers they met along the way.

Friends! I'm dreadful at promotion, so I'm asking for your help over the next few weeks. Book sales don't benefit me personally, but I do want #AfterTheFeast to succeed as a fundraiser.

Today's ask: I'm not on Instagram. If you are & you like this book, would you post about it over there? 🙏

A land-locked seagull
Still hears echoes of ocean—
Feels pull of the waves

THIS IS TOMORROW AFTERNOON!

I'm yelling because I'm excited. I promise not to yell tomorrow. Though there may be dramatic poetry.

Can confirm! Glad you got back to it.

I never took mine down 😂

Look at it this way, you can do all the indoor work in the winter, you are being appropriately seasonal just as nature intended

That entire movie is quotable! I can't think of any other film with that heft.
