July 2025 edition of Supernatural Feat! Discussed: dates (like calendar dates), hawks, consciousness (sharing thereof), breath, "what else" Links to good, real good, writing, but not all the real good writing, I could never do that. buttondown.com/supernatural...
Supernatural Feat - July 2025
It's July 20. Doing the July newsletter on July 20. The other two, the first two, I think were the 6th and the 6th of May and June? I'm not going to look. I don't care enough. This is a dumb conversation. Glad you're here!

People are always asking me when I’m going to write a novel. I have, I just haven’t done anything with it. Huge thanks to Burial Magazine for being kind enough to publish a short excerpt!

New story up at Hobart inspired in part by the recent passing of Val Kilmer. It’s about my teenage obsession with The Doors and conjuring Jim Morrison on the Ouija. www.hobartpulp.com/web_features...

Who’s up for a body-horror love story? If you act fast, you can read it before my husband does. Many thanks to @aaronburch.bsky.social & @havehashad.com for giving this cringey cnf a good home.

Alberta actually has some really cool landscapes! The Badlands and the Rockies (Banff, Lake Louise) are each just a 1.5 hour drive from Calgary. We also have Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, and Waterton Lakes national park 2 hours south. Dakota Badlands are on my bucket list!

Was inspired by an interaction I had in a bathroom lineup on my birthday that I thought would make for a funny story (but of course the rest is made up, lol).

I have a funny little flash out today about being middle-aged and doing stupid shit to prove to yourself you’re not as uncool as you feel. Thanks so much to @havehashad.com for taking this one!

Yes! I hate salons and can’t justify the cost, I cut my own hair all the time. Lots of great video tutorials for all kinds of bangs. Just err on the side of long and you’ll be fine:)

That’s a terrible thought. In Canada we have vast stretches of area with zero post secondary schools. Doing away with distance ed would cause exodus of rural youth to the urban centres and dramatically limit opportunities for kids in isolated communities.

I’d kill for a slice of beach, but 3+ hours is quite a trek to the city! Hopefully there’s at least a few friendly locals?

Me too, I honestly can’t say which I enjoy more. I ended up stuck in between in the suburbs tho so I have to drive if I want to go anywhere cool now. 😔
