We take a camping road trip every summer for a few weeks, moving from place to place every 2-3 days. With a set up like this it’s so quick and easy! We love the wanderer’s life! It’ll be 7 years this year ✨ Good practice that hopefully leads up to our retirement plan 💛 #camping #roadtrip #trees

Did you know that Central Park was built on the site of a thriving community called Seneca Village whose residents, most of whom were Black, were forced out to clear the way for the park? I'm so looking forward to this MG mystery, coming from @dancingofpens.bsky.social in April!

Yes, I will be participating in the economic boycott on Friday February 28th. If you can, please consider participating, too. Spread the word. Please make sure your friends who aren’t on social know about it. Please encourage those who ordinarily sit out such protests to participate in this one.

Guess who’s going back to school? I’ve enrolled in the UofT’s Creative Writing Certificate Program! My main stream will be writing for children, but I’m also looking forward to exploring courses in poetry and screenwriting, too. This calls for a trip to Staples for school supplies! ✏️✨ #kidlit

Noticing more accts posting photos & art created by others, without credit. PLEASE incl proper credit (not just in alt-text). Only share if you know creator is ok with it. Check if creator is on Bluesky, tag if they are. Human creators have enough of a challenge these days. #PicturesMeanBusiness

You might know that I started and finished writing a new book from August — December last year. It was a trip I’ll never forget! To commemorate the magic of that experience, I decided to get a tattoo of my main character’s name: Clover ☘️ Long live the tattoo, one of my favourite things ✨ #kidlit

Sometimes resistance is simply continuing to do the work that you were already doing which aligns with your values.

Magpies symbolize duality, light & shadow; familiarity & mystery; body & soul. Grief holds these same kinds of dualities: the light of warm memories & the shadow of loss; familiarity with life-cycle & the mystery of what lies beyond; present with the body & the absence of the soul #birds #magpie
