Pack Ice Season | The Walrus Once she’s close up, everything might change

Such a joy to be part of @writersatwp.bsky.social this summer! My heart is full.

Yesterday I read my story "Pack Ice Season" which was published by The Walrus back in January. Here is a link to it: Pack Ice Season | The Walrus thewalrus.ca/pack-ice-sea...

School's out and Cocaine Bear is on Netflix.

Spotted this creature at Long Pond yesterday and managed to get the Merlin app open just as it flew off. Quite the squawk.

Poetry Bootcamp: Building Rock Solid Poems (St. John's) - George Murray description

Excited for this workshop with @bookninja.bsky.social. I write fiction mostly, so I'm looking forward to exercising one of the many underused parts of my writer brain. www.google.com/url?q=https:...

Hopple A hopple a day keeps the scaries away.

I play this now and it's hard. But I managed to kill all the right little dots in only 2 tries.

Hopple A hopple a day keeps the scaries away.

I do the Hopple now. I think when I first played, I had to reset it 15 times, like when Buffy was cursed in the Magic Shop.

Snow day and wikitok exploration.

A February ocean.

From the pages of our January/February 2025 issue: The arrival of a peculiar iceberg thaws out a new kind of grief in a woman who lost her husband to the waters of the bay it towers over.

Read “Pack Ice Season,” a new short story from Bridget Canning: thewalrus.ca/pack-ice-season/

Yes, focusing on following news, writer stuff, and nice people. Hopefully won't leave pocket crumbs.

Ayyyyyyy!

Thanks for the shout out, @susieisnothere.bsky.social

Some random objects from the living room, posted just because I like a distraction from Sunday night thoughts. The Nosferatu candle was a gift to my husband from one of his friends. #stuff

No, but it was fun. Bingo and fondue night.

Saturday night when you want to go to bed at 9:30.

Thanks! Ah, what the forgotten gutters collect.

Oh, she was such an icon.

Me too. Loves the news.

Floating around here in Bluesky on this 300th day of January, wondering if it will/can be different. Cat pictures still have currency, right?
