Sometimes dreams do come true. I’ve loved books and bookstores and libraries since I was a wee kiddo, and I dreamed that one day maybe I could make something that would be on the shelves. Grateful and proud to be an author and editor with two book babes 🤩📚
Premier Danielle Smith hates children, hates women, and hates families. She hates a lot of other people too, but all of this talk about protecting kids and helping families is utter bullshit. EVERYTHING she does makes it harder to be a child and harder to be a mother. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

Good morning.
If you live in Alberta, you should know that today your government will invoke the notwithstanding clause to wage war against transgender Albertans.
Not because transgender persons are harmful, but because the UCP is distracting you from their mountain of failures.

A gorgeous articulation. 💔❤️
Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

“To be totally blunt, this ‘emergency’ notice of motion to end the raising of foreign flags at Calgary’s city hall is peak white supremacy.” #yyccc #yyc
Did I raise the specter of white supremacy in writing this? Sure did! Dozens of flag-raisings happen annually and nobody bats an eye. But when the Palestinian community finally gets its turn, everybody loses their minds. #yyc

Closing the loop on a donations promise. I committed to donate $2 per book sold, when I sell author copies of my poetry book, Attic Rain, at events. Poetry isn't a giant money-maker, but I'm glad to share some of the proceeds with others.
