Nova Scotia. I think I see some familiar faces here...still preoccupied with Springsteen, life, the universe and everything. Feminism. Health both public and reproductive. Covid ain't over.
I totally agree, it is a good book to read. And a good book to give.
How To Restore a Timeline is a holiday story about violence and memory. It takes place on a special variant of December 27, 2006—one that never ends, overlapping and consuming all time that dares come after.
And I hear it makes a great gift, available everywhere you buy books.

@arcadia215.bsky.social you hafta read this essay.
Last week, we saw Clash by Night (1952) at the @brattletheatre.bsky.social as part of their Noirvember series, so this week I reviewed it, analyzing the opposing portrayals of masculinity in the film by way of ethnic stereotypes it embraces.
And I concluded that Jerry is the realest one. 10/10 guy

I was going through assorted streaming offerings to build our December watch list, and good grief there is a lot dreck available if i only use "Christmas" as a search word, (Trancers doesn't even show up) This book would explain why.

This, pocket friends, is how to do a promotion... get a phrase from a BlueJays broadcaster, make tshirts with proceeds to the local oncology dept, and when you ship out of province, include a brochure, sticker and pin. Well done City of Timmins. #HitItAllTheWayToTimmins

A few months ago @thelocal.to got a promising pitch from a writer with bylines in whole bunch of reputable publications—The Cut, The Guardian, Dwell, Architectural Digest, etc. Then I started investigating. Here's a story about fabulists in journalism's AI slop era. thelocal.to/investigatin...

A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.

The PWHL was very clear that they would not play in a smaller arena. Some of us tried to get council to take them seriously when we voted on Lansdowne 2.0. If this bad deal costs us our women’s hockey team, it will be unforgivable.

This was the 1970 Grey Cup? I had seen the picture before but had forgotten what year it was from @michellemccann.bsky.social
