I'm a Friend of the Puss™ aka @littlepuss.net, and I finally started @quinnae.com's LOG OFF. Only halfway through the introduction & Katherine lays out the structural problems w/social media so clearly that I'm already setting intentions to be less at social media's algo'd beck and call.

Finally, a book about going to the bar that you can take TO the bar 🍺 That's right Sloane Murphy's upcoming debut SHUT UP, I LOVE YOU, I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW is just the thing to keep in your back pocket to impress all the girls at the function with your cutting-edge taste in trans literature 🔮

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

I heard "Winterbreak" for the first time last week

Anybody else regularly go to insert comments in Final Draft after going awhile without saving, and accumulate eight aneurysms when it locks up, only to always just tab out and back and it's fine. Anybody else please God

No one: I was just enjoying the quie– Me: *batters down barn wall with knackzoat in both hands* I AM A STEINBACH-ER LIKE JD VANCE IS AN APPALACHIAN No one: Oh goodness, no— Me: *spitting shells onto your forehead between swigs of Pepsi* MY RELATIONS RUN DEEP BUT TO CLAIM IT WOULD BE UNBECOMING

it remains insanely relaxing to refuse to have opinions. How long can I keep this up? I mean, it's true I'm bored and under stimulated, and Extremely Me Controversies keep scrolling by me, but also I grind my teeth less

Aw man. RIP.

RIP Kavinsky. The DRIVE (2011) title sequence (and prologue) is just one of the most magnetic and successful sequences in movie history and it's impossible to imagine any track other than "Nightcall" in it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc_z...

Imo not wanting to offend some particular set of online scolds in your writing is bad but we all do it a little, what makes people's fiction into trash is when you try to do it for every set of online scolds at once.

I have a lot going on and am feeling a lot of pressure, so I'm doing what any rational person would do: not focusing on any one thing, making no progress whatsoever on a single task, and not even effectively distracting myself with anything fun.

Regular life doesn’t care about your horseshit. So you might as well eat something.

I am so close to finishing this fucking novel

haha

write the book you want to read because you will have to read it over and over and over when revising

it probably works best as a Calvin bit but I believe I speak for many people when I say I would read the shit out of a fully committed Tracer Bullet story from Watterson no question he could pull it off

Tell me a literary magazine that you love and read proactively.

Plenty of dignity has been thrown aside in pursuit of righteousness.

A sense of dignity and a sense of righteousness have a lot in common but they're different things in the end.

I wrote about Windsor and the never-ending Gordie Howe business for the @thestar.com thanks for having me do this @debdundas.bsky.social

At the Gordie Howe bridge, silver-white cables glisten in the industrial sky. Beautiful as it is, the American saga is tarnishing its lustre

The saga over the opening of the massive project continues - I’ll believe it’s open when I pull up at the toll booth

Who will pay for the new U.S. bridge crossing?

If Canadian trade strategists think such concessions will soften up the U.S. when renegotiating CUSMA, they need to think again, David Olive writes.

Every piece on the tariffs in both Canada/US media mentions they apply to hockey sticks. I suppose I must admire the commitment to the bit.

Basically everyone acting like the present is the most unspeakable time in human history just makes me roll my eyes.

Pointless skeet: Is it just me or does Mark Carney's head stick out in front of his body? He looks like he's always mid-grooving or possibly also a bug

I don't remember who first told me about PERSONA (most likely candidate here is @scumbelievable.bsky.social, I think) but FUUUUUUUUUCK ME that is A Book. If you love literary horror and you're looking for something to keep you up nights, go get this thing.
