It's an odd but lovely feeling to re-read a collaborative manuscript and need several passes to recall which pieces came from ones self

It was absolutely lovely to be a part of this event and I'm ecstatic to see these two poems out in the wild. Thank you so much @WordCityLit for getting them out there. wordcitylit.ca/2023/08/24/re… (Still cracks me up that there was a Batman and a Catwoman poem at the same event).

"They didn't ask for the role" but they sure do ask for all the money. Defund the police, along with these terrible takes.
When community services fail to sufficiently meet the needs of vulnerable persons, police are left holding the bag with little to no resources/training to respond appropriately. They face criticism for it; they didn’t ask for the role and would freely pass it on to the experts.

it's becoming increasingly clear that indie media will be all we have left, indie media that we build and maintain together. VC money won't save us, brands won't save us, wellness or better company culture or the right CEO won't save us. We need to just build this shit ourselves.

Oh for the sake of fuck The new COVID variant is really called the Eris variant? That just seems like a choice begging for dramatic irony to manifest.

Late-night thought brought to you by shitty sleep. Caesar was stabbed 23 times. They're typically 23 players on an NHL team roster. Some sort of dagger motif on the next @Senators jersey redesign?
