My partner passed by the house mid-morning with twenty some odd sixth graders loudly in tow and I heard him holler out: "That's where I live! That's MY house! Hi Faith!"
Had to jump up from lying down with a library book to wave at a gaggle of elementary school kids like I was the Queen. 🥰👑👸
It's okay to post if no one *likes* it, but it's comforting to know at least someone *reads* it. I guess Bluesky is really more for political animals. Finding my nerdy tribes quicker on Substack and TikTok. Maybe look for me there, if you're interested. It's getting a bit demoralizing here.
New article. Only a 5 minute read! Link in bio.
Monday Motivation post: Crack a velvet whip today. Here's mine. Homemade latte, open document. Almost at the homestretch. 80,000 words in and the dragon is on its way real soon! #cosyfantasywriter #mondaymotivation #latte
So happy I rediscovered the public library this year! Which one should I read next? #thornhedge #TKingfisher #defensivebaking #unnaturalmagic #cmwaggoner
Mention mushrooms or dogs and…
The link's in the bio actually.
I'm sure it's going to be amazing! Have a great time, break a leg and all that good stuff!
I changed my phone wallpaper!
A better thumbnail! The link is still in the bio. ❤️
"A ratling named Thimble who's a genuis with cardamom?? Yes, please! Tell me more!!!" The search for comps has cross-pollinated my pleasure reading life. I am so enjoying Legends and Lattes! Also, is this a great bio or what? Maybe it's just me, as I, as well, live with a small and nervous dog. 🐶❤️
You should be hearing the Star Wars theme in your head (yes, it's that epic!). Link in bio.
Thanks to Owen Cutts on IG for today’s earworm ❤️

Caught you in concert last October in Ottawa. Still mad at my boyfriend for not letting me buy that record, grrr! I will fix it. Got a birthday coming up. Listening to you feels like opening the door and realizing I'm finally home after a long absence. Take enough time off, pls, we need u ages yet.
Read in one sitting last night and deeply enjoyed. On a related note, I finally implemented my New Year's resolution of getting back into the public library.
Anyone else read this terrific little book? Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher.

His face, man. How many people at home were wanting to sock him in the jaw? "Let's not get our knickers in a twist, ho ho ho." 🙄🙄🙄
Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

What is truth in poetry? A great analogy.
Graphic with a dark teal background. At the top, white text reads “BC all party Electoral Reform Committee.” Below it, a yellow box with black text says “recommends a.” Under that, two large yellow rectangles with bold black text read “BC Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform!” Along the bottom of the graphic is an illustrated row of raised hands of various skin tones and clothing colors.
Big news in British Columbia! The all party Democratic and Electoral Reform Committee has recommended a Citizens’ Assembly on Electoral Reform after months of hearings. 1/10

The case for proportional representation is undeniable.
CTV reports on how our democracy distorting voting system fuels regional divisions, and how proportional representation can fix it.
@mark-carney.bsky.social, will you champion a system where every vote truly counts?

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year.
2022: $0
2021: $0
2020: $0
2019: $0
2018: $0
Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.
I believe!
