I’ll be at the Ottawa Small Press Book Fair this Saturday with my Baseline Press chapbook & free Baseline bookmarks. If I get my act together, there will also be cookies. And you can preorder Baseline’s summer titles now. Saturday, June 21 Tom Brown Arena 141 Bayview Station Rd Noon-5:00 p.m.

Jotted down the idea, don't know if I will do anything with it.

happy Father's Day to all who celebrate

Deadline for July issue is June 15. Please read guidelines on the site and send unpublished poems by 11:59pm. bywords.ca

Yay new poem in Bywords! bywords.ca

This is one of the hardest things I've ever done: asking for help. After a financially devastating divorce, I am asking for help getting FFS, a gender-affirming surgery for which I am having to pay a vast majority out of pocket. Any bit helps. www.gofundme.com/f/help-blue-...

One of the kids working line at the restaurant told me "I like your sweater—it's giving thneed" and I don't know if I'll ever recover.

Everyone should note Unbound is now Boundless and you should never buy anything from them

All the Pride Lemons (I think??) that I drew a couple of years ago, because I realized I’d never posted them here. Happy Pride Month! 🔪

The agent who handcuffed a congressional aide is William Krejci of Keasbey, New Jersey, DHS Area Commander. His social media is locked down pretty tight but a Yelp account tied to the same email address he used for LinkedIn shows a face and forearm tattoo that matches the video.
