Halifax is rife with miniature art, or perhaps simply dioramas. Eye of the beholder and all that. Regardless, it’s fun.

This is the new issue of The Nashwaak Review, a literary journal of @stthomasu.bsky.social St. Thomas University. It contains poetry by George Elliott Clarke, a wonderful short story by Elaine McCluskey, and "Long Leash" by me, which is a story of infidelity, loyalty and sacrifice, as told by a dog.

In my role at @ecologyaction.bsky.social, I co-wrote a fun children's book about a plucky little BC electric school bus who travels the country, making friends along the way, to make a case for her kind in Nova Scotia. Come join us at the Halifax Central Library, May 23, 1-3, for the launch!

There's always plenty enough for the military. Artists, teachers, care-providers, environmental scientists, enjoy yer bake sales!

What if your school bus could change the world? The @ecologyaction.bsky.social Centre releases a brand-new children’s book that brings climate action to life through the story of one small but mighty electric school bus, hoping to change the future. ecologyaction.ca/our-work/ene...

Encounter was right after that. The book I’m reading is an advanced copy but will be out in a month. Jon Tattrie’s Redemption Songs is another interesting book about race relations in Nova Scotia at that time.

Think the strong mayor concept is bullshit? Write your MLA, Premier Houston and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing John Lohr, urging them to abandon "strong mayor" powers ecologyaction.ca/NoMoreBS-ns-... (I screenshotted the photo from the @halifaxexaminer.ca I hope that's okay.)
