All I want to do is #knit, #travel and #read. Decolonizing and queering my bookshelves. I have #cats and #MS (those aren't related. Probably) she/they

Popping online b/c PLR notice arrived. The Public Lending Right Program sends yearly payments to creators whose works are in Canada’s public libraries. I've personally seen more PLR than royalties on some titles. (Another reason Canuck authors might consider skipping KU or Audible-exclusive.)

Buy nothing day, so I picked up a top gifted on my Buy Nothing group Also going to post a few things later

I wanna invite people over for drinks, and it's just my ~fancy~ teas and we sit in my library in companionable silence

🎉X5 Super excited to see this funded!

Voted! Went at lunch and there was no line up, although there were other people there voting. Super quick and easy

Tesla sales are crashing so fast in Europe You’d think the sales where being done on autopilot.

Did I buy yarn samplers from a new-to-me wool company in Quebec? Yes

3 vintage suitcase stacked upon each other would make an awesome coffee table right?!? (Brought to you by my local buy nothing group)

I've tried like 7 different blood pressure meds and nothing has dropped my BP New doc decided to combine 2 and wooooow it's low + headaches and non-MS-tired Rather have high BP honestly

I would very much like authors to include a pronunciation guide I read a lot of fantasy books and I don't always have the language or cultural background to know if that is an 's' sound or 'k' And with fantasy it's not always a word that currently exists in that language

So the cloth moths got at one of my handknit sweaters 😭x3 I guess good news, it was already on the repair block after I ripped it so....I don't need to repair it And also good? news, I can re-buy that yarn despite this being a stash bust year

Only $1,870 to go now! 🚀

silver lining of our deteriorating relationship with the US is it's the perfect opportunity for Canadian provinces to finally break from Daylight Saving Time — no need for BC to wait for Washington, Oregon and California to get on board

Looking forward to presenting my talk, “Bondage Transplanted: Chattel Slavery in Upper Canada and Loyalist Migration.” Join us in person or virtually!

Once again I would like to request people doing give-aways be explicit about location (Americans I'm looking at you)

Got a bit more oomph on the house-improvement front and got the first coat done on the bannister I tried stripping off the old colour but yikes on bikes - there was like 4 different kinds of wood and a lot of pint layers so....paint for now, save up for replacement

Last big weekend push, let's make Black History! Prosper with Dragons is more than a thrilling card game. We're making space for Black kids to see themselves flying on dragons and for others to see them thriving! Please share widely and loudly, let's hit $10k! www.kickstarter.com/projects/115...

A little PWHL game action today. Huge crowd, despite the gridlock that is the Glebe

Ok so moving the wheel to a new location has renewed the cat's interest in it So I think we'll do that periodically - she's an extremely energetic kitty and we need to tire her out more

Just one week left to support @prosperwithdragons.bsky.social 's Kickstarter! I was lucky enough to be one of the illustrators for this awesome afrofuturistic card game project you should definitely look into 💛💖 www.kickstarter.com/projects/115...

Immediate add to cart!

Octo-sweater by me, tentacle earrings by @loxy.bsky.social - hard to photograph but it all matches!

How many phone numbers does Doug Ford need? Spam spam spam spam (Also don't vote for Doug Ford)

Ok the awkward work meetings got extra awkward after the condescending-antagonistic-unhelpful lead had a meltdown. Which led to me saying "that was really aggressive and I don't feel safe bringing things up if that's the reaction I'm going to get"

Me to the lab tech: I checked in online but then I got stuck behind a million snowbanks

I cannot tell y'all how much I enjoyed these books. Also 5th anniversary?!? I mean ok, I remember being out on my balcony during the pandemic reading the first book but also.....5th anniversary?!?

Really missing being cytotoxic right now So many bug bites, so itchy

When you witness a rocket launch from a passing plane

When I get home I'm refreshing all my hand-knits in the snow. Neighbours are....not going to bat an eye because they all know I knit

Ugh there's a book that was just released that looks interesting, but the author made a bsky post mocking a new tech that helps disabled and elderly people bath and now I just associate them with being awful

I don't yell about my books enough and I probably should. Do you like fungi? queer rebels? ancient gods? patchwork cities with all sorts of seediness between the seams? You'd like my stuff. www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Da... www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Su...

A great way to stick it to the current administration this President’s Day is to support Inidgenous folkx. Please sign up for my Bindery newsletter (free, only requires an email address). We are an Indigenous woman led publishing imprint, publishing Indigenous books boozhoo.binderybooks.com

Just say no to riding on inflatable water platforms being towed by a small zodiac being piloted by two 12-year-olds

Here's the link to the advisory, for those looking for it: naacp.org/campaigns/bl...

Just backed this cause it sounds fun and also I need an excuse to invite @nathanburgoine.bsky.social for boardgames and tea

A really common abuser tactic is to push and harass a person over and over again until they lash out in response, and then be like, "Oh my God that was so awful of you! I can't believe you did that!" And I wish more people would realize that.

I saw a hearse being chased by the police yesterday Ok *maybe* it was an escort but they were really flying and the motorcycle cop was falling behind

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

No idea what egg prices are in Canada because I don't eat eggs

Nothing gives me the icks more than someone else's hair touching me 🤢

All my energy right now is going into "do not become hangry....do not become hangry....do not become hangry" that I cannot do anything else

Once more, for the cheap seats. "Cis" and "cisgender" are not slurs. The lie that they are has been propagated and weaponized by the people trying to oppress the truly marginalized. Parroting their talking points isn't a good look, and sure as hell doesn't earn one the benefit of the doubt.

I need 3 sets loxythemaker.com

Hey, need some queer magic? Right now—and until the end of April—you can nab my collection of queerly-retold holiday tales (including the newest Village holiday romance, "Folly") on audio for *half off*! Also? @gianster98.bsky.social and @hschooner.bsky.social are legit magic. 💙📚🏳️‍🌈

We know UBI works. We know it is actually cost effective. We don't need more trials and experiments, we need implementation.

Cannot tell if cold flash or MS pins and needles
