I remember talking to kids about The Hunger Games back when I was teaching, and (spoiler alert) the complete collapse of the Capital at the end of the series was the people turning on the leaders after a double tap attack…

Even teen dystopia fiction is more optimistic than this reality

I’m feeling real what’s to become of me now? I just can’t go back to the normie world and pretend to fit there.

my book came out in paperback yesterday, and to celebrate, I fell off my motorcycle at a very low speed and skinned a finger. In bookstores wherever quality books are sold. Stag Dance, also, is the title. I'm fine.

Hard to not go fucking insane in a world where they behave like fiction can hurt you while literally bombing schools. Hope all of these fascist fucks take a very long walk off of a very short pier.

We laughed at all those wildly improbable nineties political thrillers about a deadly mole in the white house, and now the deputy chief of staff and sec of defense are literal serial killers

Doug Ford doesn’t give a shit about the kids and teenagers in Peel even though their lives matter and they have futures. It’s REALLY hard to witness this unfold. I feel SO bad for young people here. #onpoli

SAD is so trippy because you really feel like you’re awakening as a new person when the weather gets slightly warmer.

This is honestly one reason I’ve started being loud about all my female fandom topics on here. Swifties have a nice little corner of Bluesky for this but there really isn’t anything else like it for all the rest.

If you build it maybe one day someone else will notice and come on over too.

fellas can also substitute working out for:

-- wearing clothes that fit properly
-- reading more than two non-fiction books per year
-- sincerely asking questions and listening to the answers

(though it is recommended to add, rather than substitute)

went to my childhood home recently and had a chance to sit down and really talk openly with the bogeyman in the basement. pretty decent guy actually and very sensitive. all those times he chased me up the stairs he just wanted connection. we did a pretend chase for old times sake

disability benefits are extremely difficult to get and are barely enough for people to survive. no one is pretending to be disabled, especially for money

In terms of CanLit I’m also really looking forward to Marcus Kliewer’s The Caretaker and Tiffany Morris’s Carnalis, both coming out later this month.
