Folks, I just broke down and bought this She-Ra/Swiftwind combo. I can't justify the purchase, but it'd be easier if I sold a few books today. So, if you've been on the fence about picking up The Maxus Cycle, today would be a fine day to give in!

Congrats to @matthewjohnauthor.bsky.social whose story “A Simple Errand” appears in Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume Three, released today. It’s an action packed sword-and-planet tale that reads like it was written in the golden age of pulp fiction and Weird Tales.

In American cities, jazz evolved a dozen different ways, but Saskatchewan audiences made it clear early on that they just wanted to dance. Listen to the playlist from our Winter 2025 feature article "Prairie Jazz." Link in the comments.

And the boys (who weren't born yet or were about *three*) who missed the *original* He-Man room, run by the fabulous Art Nadel, would have been HORRIFIED by how female-friendly/feminist the original writing team was. (I should know. My office was down the hall. I drew the first map of Eternia.) 😏
all the dudes bitching about "woke He-Man" should watch the woke He-Man we already got like three year ago, aka the animated Kevin Smith Netflix one about A) the crushing emotional toll that toxic masculinity takes on Adam and B) a squadron of absolutely jacked ladies dominating the whole plot

Canadian PM Carney: Canada and the United States have built a remarkable partnership in the economy, in security, and in rich cultural exchange. But Canada doesn’t live because of the United States. Canada thrives because we are Canadian.

Sometimes you get high and start waxing idiotic about how The Simpsons is about the journey from Judaism ("Abraham" Simpson) to Hellenism ("Homer" Simpson) and then finally to Christianity ("Bartholomew" Simpson) and then someone tells you to shut the fuck up, and they’re right to do so.
