Whenever I'm down, I think of the time I was watching a Harry Potter movie & my dad saw Voldemort & said "So that's the bad guy, Baltimore?"

In Kevin Sylvester's Apartment 713, the apartment building at the centre of the book "operates as a kind of gigantic puzzle box or escape room packed with delightful secrets," reviewer Grace O'Connell (@yesgrace) writes. stjo.es/3y0QXWg

My very smart friend Robert McGill is launching a dark, smart, dystopian novel where people can flat-pack themselves like IKEA furniture to escape a deadly virus, tomorrow with @coachhousebooks. I'll be discussing it with him on Zoom: eventbrite.ca/e/book-launch-…

Jean’s book took me right back to that magic feeling of a childhood daydream. I love how it celebrates the joy of imagination ✨ I’m excited this piece is up - big thanks to @JeanPendziwol & the good folks at @quillandquire

In 1995, Dudley George was killed by a police sniper after three days of occupying land near his traditional territory that had been taken by the federal government. I have been thinking about him a lot these days—especially when I see photos of protesters in hot tubs.
