DIED at twice. Raises cup of tea in solidarity. Why do we do this? 😹 Congrats though!

This is the framework I needed today, to love, to get out of bed, to fight, to be in this moment. Brilliant, necessary.

When you wake up to see your book held, and read, by one of your favorite writers working today, is there a bigger honor than that? (spoiler, there isn't).

!!!!!! I just arrived to see this. Grateful beyond words, thank you so much. What an honor to have my book read by you.

Everything Hanif Abdurraqib writes enlarges the world in a million ways.

I could never articulate what my problem was with this model, and why I was so cranky about it down to my bones. This is a brilliant read, and where it lands had me almost standing on my desk cheering.

Toronto and GTA friends, @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social is having a @stelliform.press party this coming Sunday, May 25th. Come for a beautiful, eerie afternoon. I'm reading with @rebeccacampbell.bsky.social and @mahaila.bsky.social.

I saw someone say AI is useful because it generates ideas. My dude, I'm full of ideas. I have docs and docs marked under 'ideas.' I have outlines and fragments of stuff I might work on. Trunked stories galore. Even if I continue to write a novel a year for the next 40 years I won't run out of ideas.

‘Protest shapes the world’: Rebecca Solnit on the fight back against Trump Demonstrations against the US president have been underplayed and dismissed, but a lifetime of activism has taught me how powerful collective action can be

"Mostly protests, campaigns, boycotts and movements ... influence public opinion, make exploitation and destruction and their perpetrators more visible, shift what’s considered acceptable and possible, set new norms or delegitimise old ones."
