All I want is for the tattoo artist to tell me I sat well

that feeling when you're 3/4 done the first draft of a story and want to hurl it into the sun

For those who may have missed my recent “fuck the law, be gay do crime” lecture at UBC, you can now watch it online at the link below!

So thrilled to have raised $125 in one day on campus for my fundraiser. These pins are individually hand drawn and designed by me. All proceeds from them will be donated to support for #transgender folks in the #USA. If you are interested in a pin, feel free to DM me or message me below.

This could be Canada next. Disaster.

Hi! For CBC News, I'm looking to speak with trans Americans on their feelings about life under Trump — particularly given yesterday's executive orders. Scared? Defiant? Angry? Resigned? I want to hear from you. My DMs are open. Some of my prev work ↓

Final grades submitted! Time to celebrate and unwind with this...

a horror movie but it’s someone chasing you through the woods saying your short story should be a novel

I’m so exhausted by decision-makers in education refusing to invest in long-term solutions. If you don’t have the resources to do it right, you don’t have the resources to do it at all.

This whole thread is both funny and terrifying

As public funding has declined, post-secondaries have increasingly relied on tuition, especially from international students. Following the international student cap, schools—like Langara—are facing stark choices. @kehyslop.bsky.social for @thetyee.ca: thetyee.ca/News/2024/12...

1000% this. (PS. hit me up if you've got some weird queer art that needs amplifying!)

If you're going to spend money today, spend it on queer books! A recent favorite I reviewed for Plenitude Magazine: Jade Wallace's brilliant ANOMIA plenitudemagazine.ca/connection-c...

We can stop doing experiments on this now! We know the outcome! It's always the same outcome! Just give people money!

Been freelancing so long I forgot "weed and this one weird Borges story" isn't an appropriate "self care tool" to share with colleagues at the department meeting

I cannot overstate enough how people minimizing the recent rise in antisemitism are helping the far right do their work for them. You may think you're helping progressives. You aren't. You are helping anyone who is invested in minimizing or justifying bigotry against Jews.

I recapped some of my favorite shorts from this year's Vancouver Horror Show film fest. Check it out! wyliewrites.com/vhs-23-shorts/

Can you hear the increasing desperation of Jews to get this point across? A synagogue has already been firebombed in Berlin. A Jewish woman on the NYC subway was punched in the face. This is just the beginning. Please help educate your friends and family about the difference between Jews and Israel.

TERFs aren't punk and I'm telling everyone

Nothing quite like finding a barely-worn Ted Baker suit at the thrift store that fits perfectly

Rumour has it I did an interview with NFB director Weiye Su for the Sept/Oct issue of THIS Magazine - Grab a copy and check it out!
