The timing hasn’t lined up for me to swim at Kits Pool in years & I’m annoyed! (I was hoping maybe it was open for the season. I am ready to swim outdoors. Ocean photo from last Wednesday for proof.)

This guy on Instagram took his shirt off & was like “this is what a body that works out 6x a week & gets 10k steps looks like.” (Visible abs.) That made me realize I also work out 6x a week & get 10k steps. But I sort of look like a seal grew limbs. I am sorely tempted to make a response video

Child came to the table in a mask and cape. I asked her if she was a superhero today. She responded that she was a superhero every day. Ate her eggs and toast and coffee milk in the mask & cape, reading a comic book

Today, making caramel, so I can make salted caramel ice cream that I churn in the last minute or two with some homemade brownie. It is good to have things to look forward to

It’s maybe a good thing I don’t go out reporting that often because I seem to always find some kind of an excuse to bring a bathing suit & go for a dip (one lives by ferry times)

One thing training pull-ups consistently (band-assisted, working towards unassisted) has underscored is that some days I am just… kinda weaker than other days, for no real good reason

Can't decide whether to take the self-deprecating approach ("excited to be the least famous writer appearing...") or the plain approach but Charlotte Gill & I will be reading, moderated by Megan Cole, at this year's Sunshine Coast Festival of the Written Arts. www.coastreporter.net/local-arts/s...

The child enjoys so, so, so many loud things & it is fortuitous for everyone that we somehow managed to move to a detached house when she was 13 months old

New from me! The provincial government believes Albertans on AISH are already receiving more than enough support. So rather than let the federal government lift some Albertans with disabilities out of poverty, the province has decided to claw back the Canada Disability Benefit.

there's an interesting tension between the call to be accountable to your community(ies) as a writer & the tsunami of wildly disrespectful treatment/deep undervaluing of your labour that seems to be a condition of the work

i know we all have different experiences but it does sometimes feel like we are living the same life. (In Like a Boy but Not a Boy, I spoke w some gender nonconforming women about their life experiences & how they felt about this social pressure. As an in-group convo it's v. interesting to me.)
