A CanCon thread of books I've read!

1. Part Time Girl by @adriaan.braevitae.com. I was gripped throughout this YA story. A super-relatable teen MC trying to do the right thing while dealing with identity challenges and mysterious magical threats. Loved the ending. 💖 braevitae.com/w/parttimegirl

I laughed all the way through the end credits. (Keep an eye out for a certain "Emma"—neither Kantor nor Woodhouse.)

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:

If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.
The organizer, introducing the bear on stage A tardy speaker, trying to fend off the bear as he/she leans forward patiently.

It's National Kindness Week in Canada.

Right now I can't think of anything more fitting than doing random acts of kindness to support the world I want to live in.

Someone was bringing up Canadian TV shows from childhood, and as soon as this one came up I immediately heard the theme song

Yes! Endlessly curious. Endlessly, let me try that and see what I think and how I feel. Endlessly, let's learn about that person or idea or that music or word or food. Endlessly, let me ask them what they think and feel.

One of my fave quotes is "I haven't even met all the people I'll love yet."

They are places I haven't been, languages I don't speak, foods I haven't tried, books I haven't read, and people I haven't met. I wake up every day excited to learn about the world and the things in it. What separates me (and us!) from the gutter racists is that we see existence as joyful.

My first attempt at astrophotography - woohoo! ✨️
(Kidding. It's actually a close-up of a glittery blue poinsettia plant. 😆)
A million little sparkles that kinda look like stars and galaxies but are actually glitter, separated by lines that are the veins of a poinsettia leaf.

Daily bunny no.3226 is timing his jump
A bunny is stranded on a small ice flow, but is near another bunny on land. A penguin swims in between them nonchalantly, and the bunny contemplates jumping on the penguin as a platform.

It is always hungry
this ghost that lives
inside my machine
skittering down neural pathways
plucking at blood vessels
and ransacking my endocrine system
looking for something
that will ease the desperate ache
that binds us
and confines us
to this purgatory

Snow baby greets the sunrise.
Snow creature stands in morning sunlight with its shadow stretching behind it. It has twigs for arms, tufts of pine needles for antennae (or maybe ears), and facial features consisting of twigs of various sizes. It appears to be smiling serenely with eyes closed.

The rumours are TRUE!

There is a Romance x Horror bookstore PopUp in Union station running from now until May 31st. This great little space, shared between us and Hopeless Romantic Books, is the pink/black bookstore of your dreams.

Come by say hi on your next commute!

🖤📚👻💕
A sign says “bookstore” above a window, inside the right shelving is all black and the left is all pink. One side of the window says Hopeless Romantic Bookstore, the other sports the Little Ghosts ghost logo on top of a stack of books.

This is the Rosette Nebula. It's about seven hours of combined exposure time. I'm very happy with it :) #astrophotography
It's a round, dark pink nebula with a thinner spot in the middle, vaguely resembling a flower, hence the name "Rosette"

Gonna log off this app for the rest of the weekend but I wanted to boost this.

If you are interested in participating in the nomination process for the Ignyte awards we have an application.

Our awards are very dear to me. I thought the dire urgency of them would fade. I was wrong. We keep going 🖤
