a winnipeg transit bus facing a cop car as if they are two people in a hallway who shifting the same direction so neither can pass. it’s awkward. the bus banner reads “SORRY”

I have never met anyone who is more adept at tracking every last cent they have than people who live or have lived in poverty

it is a skill developed out of necessity and it never leaves you

Still worth doing, obvs

Just now realizing how long it's going to take me to tell everyone #onhere how much I appreciate them

@akohan.bsky.social BTW thanks Andrew for all your live-posting/commentary on public infrastructure meetings in Winnipeg, especially bike lanes. It makes it easier to follow (and also look up later, if I have time, on the city videos). It's a lot of work -- thanks for doing it!

Thanks Chadwick!

Thanks Paul! I was actually inspired by @hillarymonahan.bsky.social to start doing this more often -- just letting folks know I appreciate them. I often think it or say it, but don't often post it.

Thanks Liz!

Really great thread by @maxgladstone.bsky.social on aspects of storytelling, acting and filmmaking in the Star Wars prequels.

Thanks Beverly!

I think you will very much appreciate it — I had similar constraints in being able to watch it (who gets TV time and when) and even taking it in piecemeal I kept thinking about it in the long gaps between viewing.

OH! I also have two acceptances so far this year, neither of which I can say more about, but that's also great news.

I'm here for the usage of a literal "shooketh"

I hope to keep up this level of submissions for the rest of the year. We'll see how it goes.

Also I have (somehow) managed to pick away at a couple of totally new stories, as well as fix up two old ones that had been semi-trunked -- those latter two I have added to the submissions churn.

Last year I sent a total of 44 submissions. I wanted to exceed that in 2026. On March 1 this year I reached that number! It's all gravy now, man

OK, I know everything is terrible so I just wanted to share a bit of good news. My writing goals this year have been to write more new short stories, revamp older ones and submit them to more places, and to submit everything I can more often.

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?

Post links if you can.

Buy stuff if you can.

They hate when people stand up.

@tuphlos.bsky.social Robin, in case I haven't said recently: I always appreciate your humour, and book discussions, and thoughts on life that you share here.

This looks amazing. Also, does it come with miniature Gopher and Isaac figures?

I used to sing this as a tween, thinking I was a brilliant satirist

THIS, so much this. I dislike how anxiety can be a thing on its own and seize on a possibility and then magnify the negative aspects of it. AND FOR WHAT? Metacognition for the win! Or at least, for a rope to start climbing away from it.

As a prairie boy I was unprepared to be woken up by an earthquake when I lived in Iceland. I was annoyed — I thought it was because the party in the dorm was STILL GOING at some ungodly hour.

@princejvstin.com Paul -- just wanted to say I appreciate all the work you do sharing book news, your thoughts, and brilliant photography (both your work and those of others you post on here).

I always appreciate you, Hillary! I hope you don't have to have too many more 18-hour days.

I will never let Canadians act superior to me when they elected Doug and Rob Ford

Is this a "not ALL Canadians" trap? If so, well-played

If not, I apologize for all the incoming Canadians who will explain federalism and/or parliamentary democracy in your mentions
