Michelle Spencer @writingranchette.bsky.social · 13/12/2025Did you know that the only communist government in Canada’s history was elected in the Crowsnest Pass, Alberta? Me neither, and I live next door. This fiction from Carissa Halton is a page turner through a period of extremism. Would be an excellent gift for history buffs. @newestpress.bsky.social 000 0

Michelle Spencer @writingranchette.bsky.social · 17/07/2025How many small businesses in rural Canada can say they’ve been in continuous operation for 89 years? If you are near Pincher Creek this summer, come and check out Blackburn Jewellers. It’s amazing and the owner, Doris Blackburn, is a delight. #southernAlberta 010 0

So in the face of chaos, misinformation, hatred & ignorance, I'm going to make more art, experience more, share more, pay for more & publish more. I started this in darkness & it'll continue to be my light. 🖤🤍 883372381 0
