Montreal’s interactive realtime snow removal map is pretty cool. Would be nice if ppl would look at it before reflexively whining that “nothing” is being done, or that it’s being done chaotically. It’s just a lot of snow.

If a man calls a woman “crazy” please know that it’s actually code for “she is reasonably upset by the compounded experiences of injustice that her mere existence has subjected her to and I don’t want to acknowledge it or I fear I will realize I’ve benefited from the culture of it.” Hope that helps!

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I’m doing a literary event in Montreal on Tuesday with @neuvel.net and I asked Gordon Hashimito to come and bring a guitar so we can sing a couple of Nerdy Girl songs. So be there!

I had, as it turns out, a voluminous quantity of words to say about the National Endowment for the Arts demanding fealty to Trump in their new grant guidelines (with side tangents into Robert Mapplethorpe, the Eight of Swords in tarot, compliance and resistance, and why budgets are moral documents)

So let me get this straight. If I don’t turn on the AI / connected experience I can’t save a word doc to pdf? Insert one million curses here.

This snow. This wind. It’s a real first winter back in Montreal trial.

Speaking of comics: Whether this new administration “observes” it or not, it’s still Black History Month. Here’s a list of great comics by Black creators, and/or centering Black characters & stories 🕊️ 📚 bookshop.org/lists/graphi...

I keep thinking it’s Monday.

Then you perceive the body of our kingdom How foul it is, what rank diseases grow, And with what danger, near the heart of it.
