So shocked and excited about this! I am endlessly grateful for the generosity and guidance of Lisa Moore while working on this thesis.

Hard to find the words to describe how good this show is but I tried and you can read them on the @riddlefence.bsky.social website! Go see Maiden Voyage (Rising Theatre) at the Majestic Theatre in St. John's right now right now right now!!!!!

but damn, that wood stove grilled cheese! 😍

While seeking care for pregnancy loss, author @fparker.bsky.social met a doctor who knew her in-laws, information that Parker first thought insignificant. She soon learned that personal connections would be her only way through New Brunswick’s health care system. thewalrus.ca/i-knew-my-pregna...

It’s #ReadInTheBathTubDay! We’ve got some great audiobooks to keep you company while you relax: Jack Tales of various lengths, spooky stories, and Kate Story’s URCHIN (which we recommend breaking up between several baths, but to each their own!)
