I decided to go fancy so I am making Michael Romano's rhubarb chutney. Other ingredients include red wine, apricots, red onion and celery, with red wine vinegar, lime juice and cayenne pepper.

It's past my bedtime as I'm watching the Canadian Association of Journalist Awards. I just won silver in the Daily Excellence category. Thank you to the association, judges, all the nominees, and the Examiner team, especially @timbousquet.bsky.social for his continuing support and encouragement.

when your body goes haywire during menopause and literally no one knows wtf is going on because nobody about our health. Your hairline starts to migrate. Blinding headaches. You break out into hives weekly for no reason. (Go on hrt immediately if you can. Do not try to raw dog menopause.)

Congrats to Michael Crummey of St. John's, NL, on winning the €100K Dublin Literary Award for The Adversary. I love Crummey's work and can't wait to read this one. shorturl.at/D7jaW #canlit #BooksWorthReading #bookworm #Newfoundland

Quiet intelligence that’s always with me, my ass. I already have an intellect tyvm. Everything just ends up being more surveillance (ostensibly to sell us crap we don’t need).

This story is hard to read, but there’s so much love and redemption and caring and growth in it, it’s really worth it.
