There are genuinely wonderful things happening in the world right now. Like this. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
Cheap supplies of HIV-prevention jab for poorer countries hailed as ‘genuine chance to end’ global epidemic

Not everything is terrible. We are rewilding the Earth. Our generation may leave more natural land than we inherited.

The rewilding milestone Earth has already passed
The world's use of farmland has peaked, bringing the chance to turn over more space to nature. How far could the trend go?

I popped down there. Was told it was engine failure & they couldn’t make it back to the island airport, but pilot could see the floodlit pitch below.
Soccer & frisbee continue, and will not be stopped by something as trivial as a plane crash behind them.
Brightly lit green pitch with frisbee throwers in foreground, small crashed plane in background.

All 3 passengers walked away. Super impressive that the pilot found somewhere safe to bring it down over the city.

Everyone is fine!

Really clinging to this right now. It’s been a dark week, but this city is full of wonderful, kind, open-hearted people.

Huge love to all those out in Christie Pits today to massively ratio the hate protestors there. You are amazing.

I adore multicultural Toronto so much. I honestly can’t imagine why anyone would want it any other way.

I managed to get a real Labubu in the last drop for my daughter.

This weird elf-monster toy is probably my greatest parental win this year.
Weird furry elf monster that is laughing in a way that is actually kind of adorable when you get used to it.

Heads up, looks like my contemporary gothic novella SWEETSIDE MOTEL will be out from @interstellarflight.bsky.social next March. Don't forget to lock your door.
A graphic with a quote from SWEETSIDE MOTEL over top a photo of a gloomy neon motel sign at night: "I'd lock your door," he says quietly, and then he's gone.

Stargazing, kayaking, fishing, reading, writing and roasting marshmallows. This is the way to end the summer hols.
Silhouettes of children swimming in a lake as the sun slides toward the horizon. A view of an island on a lake, through tall pines. Sunset over a lake, with an island in the distance.
