Feeling the doom today, pals. Anyone wanna hit me with their pet's 'legal' name and all their adorable and nonsensical nicknames? (Not ones you use for passwords!!!) eg:) My Lazlo also goes by Laz, Lazzy, Blaze, Baby Guy, and recently Bunny (because his new food has made his fur SO soft!)

It's my 49th birthday today and my wish is the same as it was about 46 years ago in this photo...everyone should go be a little sassy, a little unruly, put on some fun clothes, don't comb your hair and have fun!

Thank you for writing this piece. My email complaint to Tim Hortons was met with this response, so it's absolutely awesome to know that collaborating with and financially supporting someone who actively seeks to harm trans people is really just sprinkling some 'magic'....😡

Thank you for reaching out to Tim Hortons Guest Care!

This collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products is a celebration of an iconic story, a way for Tims to sprinkle some magic into guests’ daily routines, and to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the first Harry Potter movie with fans.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Please know that your comments have been shared with the appropriate teams for their awareness

Kind regards,

My debut collection of poetry, Confirm Humanity. Published in October 2025 with Edmonton-based Wild Skies Press. A finalist for the National Indie Excellence Awards and currently shortlisted for a Whistler Independent Book Award. wildskiespress.com/our-books/#c...

A book cover featuring the title Confirm Humanity, poems. An illustrative image of flowers and greenery, some colored and some black and white, surrounding a laptop computer with a black and white skull sitting on it. The author's name, Kim Mannix, is below.

A description reads: In Confirm Humanity, Kim Mannix delivers a hauntingly honest collection of poems that explore the fragile balance between joy and sorrow, asking what it means to endure, observe, and feel deeply in a beautifully broken world.
