In which I talk about the paperback edition of Ring Shout that came out last October, and answer some of those questions that often come my way: "Where did you come up with this idea? Will there be a sequel? Is there a movie happening? Have you seen Sinners?"
I had some time...

not to discourse or whatever, I just think people need to calm down a little and imagine a beautiful world of possibilities.
It's very disturbing that BC polls are swinging so heavily due in part to a moral panic about reconciliation

What are some of your favourite poetry collections? I’m looking for suggestions to read with my book club in April.
very funny that this woman is deluded in thinking she would be able to ask a tourist to America any question about that tourist's national politics.

a keeper holding this elderly, one-eyed, flightless bat aloft while he flaps his wings to enjoy the tour feels very akin to my boyfriend pretending he needs to go to the library to get me out on a mental health walk
there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for
a tumblr text post that says (crawls on all fours with blood drenched on me) I have to do arts and crafts
An elastic friendship bracelet of plastic pony beads and letter beads that say "it is what it is" is looped through the loops on a black Blundstone boot
Alternating read heart and blue beads dangle off the back of a black Blundstone boot. Incidental to the main point of the photo, the manicure on the hand holding the boot is a very cool motif of flames and chili peppers
Rainy interminable winter coping mechanisms for someone in desperate need of daily whimsy
My new Olurinatti Production is out now! youtu.be/2WEeSgfrZ8M?...
I will also say that it’s a bit wild to me that no press freedom organization or professional journalistic association has tried to contact me or even put out a statement here.
I mean Jesus Christ. A little solidarity from institutions would be nice here!
there's gotta be some sort of rule about open toed shoes near munitions...
Here’s my story on Vancouver staff recommending that the city stop considering Ken Sim’s bitcoin dreams
I’m told there’s very little chance the mayor ends up “dying on this hill” as he promised last year

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
On the phone with the pharmacy, playing a strong offence against the misogyny of the medical industry:
Can my husband pick that up?
My partner to whom I am very much not married, listening in the other room:
NEW ARTICLE: Comedian Maysoon Zayid had a deal with ABC to produce a TV sitcom inspired by her life, as a Muslim woman with cerebral palsy.
Why was that show never released? Maysoon gives me the inside story. (Hint: bigotry)

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.
May this set a precedent.
Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.
It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.
Logging, used car sales, scamming, Jehovah's Witness elder (?)
Unemployment and lawn cutting.
Yknow, the basis of a rugged campaign to win blue collar white votes.

Devastating to witness the basic level of impulse control she demonstrates while waiting for her rep to finish speaking so she can get her shot off. Shouldn't be remarkable, and yet...
What's it like to disbelieve you're the protagonist of your own life.
Have they considered this: our pets will no longer be angry with us over a dinner time we have changed seemingly arbitrarily 😌
Gentlemen, it’s Women’s History Month, so maybe take the initiative and explain what that is.
NEW FROM ME:
While US and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran this weekend, Global News' The West Block host Ben Mulroney reposted video of fighter jets that had been miscaptioned as American F-15s attacking Iran
I double-checked. Ben was actually sharing footage from a video game
Cops when faced with an encampment or protest site, a vigil or an art work, they attack it reflexively at the level of aesthetics first, they rip down ornament or posters or decor, beauty offends and terrifies them
No idea mate, just reporting what I've heard 😅 not an expert by any means (although to me "West Asia" is Europe lol)
