Thread: Recently, my husband and I interviewed financial planners. Y'all, this is one of those Major Life Decisions that you don't make without some real thought. So, we put that real thought into it. And then I sent a polite email telling the guy we didn't pick that we didn't pick him. Maybe...

Where does Canada actually stand on truth and reconciliation? Former special interlocutor Kimberly Murray speaks with Sean Carleton and Niigaan Sinclair about government funding shifts, systemic delays, and the rising tide of denialism: ow.ly/Pzby50ZSWJk

I won't say I haven't cut my work down to fit the categories, but cutting always make the story better, anyway.

Reminds me of the person who tried to convince me he was deeply marginalized as a Catholic, and another who wanted sympathy for his marginalization as a self-published writer.

Spent a happy half hour in a fab bookstore (A Different Drummer in Burlington.) Bought a book on Shakespeare, chatted with the owner about it. Did I mention I am a novelist whose recent book is Shakespearean? No I did not, because when my book is not already on the shelf I cannot. Do not be like me

“Time is a Liquid” is about the avalanche-like power of grief, and the unanalyzable, unquantifiable connection that remains when those we love have been claimed by death.

Behold this beauty! The Book of the Dead, edited by Jonathan Strahan and illustrated by Galen Dara, out October 6. Includes my story "Time is a Liquid." @jonathanstrahan.bsky.social @harpervoyagerus.bsky.social www.harpercollins.com/products/the...

Two copies of a hardcover book like on a teal and black cloth. The covers say THE BOOK OF THE DEAD edited by Jonathan Strahan and illustrated by Galen Dara. The cover has an image of a spooky ghost-like figure with trailing hair and smoke in front of a full moon. It has a skull face and roses in its hair. Perhaps it is a ghost bride. The silhouette of a headstone is in the background.

"This is the place Blackfoot and Cree women are lost, never found. Here, Harley Davidsons share billboards with pregnant silhouettes screaming: human from the start. Tinny and chaste, echoes of untilled fields, of horses, of homesteads from the seventies. Not far from the place they were taken." 🔥

My delightful Uncle Tom and Auntie Mary at the recent family wedding. Queer wedding, awesome elders! Love them so much.

In front of a friendly crowd sits a white-haired couple, both with big smiles. He is in a grey jacket and blue shirt, and has blankets covering his lap. She is in a blue dress and black leather jacket. They look very happy and friendly.
