Who remembers pompom tennis socks? Teen me was so bad at tennis my instructors discouraged me from taking the end of summer test. I’m in awe of the young players on the tour these days. Please remind me to check in on them if I’m still around in 20 years

September. The pears are almost ripe and falling through leaves to the ground. Here’s a poem for the season from my long-ago first book, Swimming Among the Ruins

I started The Sense of an Ending one rainy morning a few years back and couldn’t put it down. Read it again from the beginning the instant I finished it. Maybe there? Flaubert’s Parrot is the big one, but I haven’t read it all the way through.

Julian Barnes, The Only Story. Love seeing so many lines of thought that show up later in Departures.

As the lights go out all over the world, be a shining beacon It is important everyone knows there is still good out there, and where to find them The darker it gets, the more you shine Do not lose your humanity

I can’t put this book down! Mina’s art — I can see and feel it like it’s right in front of me. Same with the characters - their world and concerns feel real and immediate. If I had a book club I’d want this on the list!

Friends in Kingston Ontario, could I call on you for a small favour? I lost a pair of glasses downtown near St George’s Cathedral, and might have a lead on where they are but I can’t get to Kingston for a few days. If you can swing by that area today, let me know and I’ll give you the details? 🤞🤞🤞

Yet you capitulate to the bullies, dropping your fact-checking spot with Rachel Gilmore. Shame

Thanks, Hakeem! [Letter calling for Hegseth's immediate firing.]

No transcription but it's Jeffries on fancy letterhead saying Hegseth should be fired.

Ouf, that's a bad line break. Especially when a significant part of your political identity is 'verb the noun.'

What is he hiding! What’s he hiding from! How is it even legal for him to be leader of the official opposition without security clearance!!

It’s way past time for PP to agree to security clearance. How is it even legal to lead the official opposition without being cleared for security? What’s he hiding? What are he and his people hiding and why?

They’re cutting me off? They’ve been doing these delaying “security checks” lately when I log in. It’s back to normal now but the surveillance is just so obvious and seems like efforts to silence

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

On the other hand, RB may be the kind of presence that slows talk of axing the CBC - as long as she isn’t the ONLY voice!

Keep it up, DC. Boycott the Kennedy Centre. Show producers, cancel your bookings and move your productions to another of the many incredible DC venues.
