Also…. parents aren’t homeschooling their kids during the strike (even though that would be a LaGrange utopia). We are still WORKING lol

I feel like the UCP could use a lesson plan on fiction and nonfiction.

This morning I stopped at a
neighbour's gorgeous rose garden to seek some beauty and peace, and it felt fitting that the late-season rose that grabbed my attention and called me over to take its photo is called "never alone." Trying my best to be a hardy bitch. 2/2

A sign plate that says β€œnever alone” as the rose variety, and indicates that it is hardy and was planted in spring 2022.

Feeling quite angry this morning. Sometimes being empathetic amidst western capitalism feels crazy-making. I am furious at our cowardly and selfish leaders and at the overabundance of apathy. But people give me hope. Workers give me hope. Children give me hope. 1/2

Two books standing up on a brown wooden patio in front of a potted pink begonia plant. The books are Attic Rain by Samantha Jones, which has a blue cover with yellow sort of smiley faces, and the book I'll Get Right On It! edited by the Land and Labour Poetry Collective, which has a red and black cover with white text.

Sometimes dreams do come true. I’ve loved books and bookstores and libraries since I was a wee kiddo, and I dreamed that one day maybe I could make something that would be on the shelves. Grateful and proud to be an author and editor with two book babes πŸ€©πŸ“š
