🐺 New! The ferocious & vulnerable poems of #abodymoretolerable, the latest collection by @jayesimpson.bsky.social, are about redefining acts of creation, destruction, deconstruction & recreation, from a singular Indigiqueer POV. 👉 Out now in Canada (USA April 15, 2025): tinyurl.com/abodymoretol...

The cover of the book "a body more tolerable" by jaye simpson, with stacked text above reading, "Happy book birthday!", along with the book title and author's name. Below, footer text lists the publisher, Arsenal Pulp Press, and their website, arsenal pulp dot com.

On the book cover, two wolves are locked in an aggressive embrace, each one biting down on the other’s shoulder. Above them is the book title, “a body more tolerable,” in a cursive font. In the bottom right corner is the word “poems” and the author’s name, “jaye simpson.” The cover is illustrated in a dynamic style with an overall colour cast of purple, orange, and burgundy.

I have a hard time supporting the Vancouver Public Library as an institution and their leadership. I do on the other hand support many of their staff who hate the fascist regime that’s been changing policy in the last ten years there.

it’s okay to crash out sometimes my friends. just remember: say it = forget it, write it = regret it.
