I am the owner of an independent bookstore in Paris, Ontario (opening soon!). It has been an absolute disaster getting through construction and getting open. Would not recommend. Hoping it works out, though.

Lover of cats and reading. 🇨🇦

Right now, we are faced with the easiest part of standing up to a major threat to journalism and democracy: all we have to do is *not* login to an app we all grew up without.

You can take a stand and deliver a massive blow to the extreme right by simply refraining from doing something. It’s the easiest protest you’ll ever make.

Don’t wait until standing up to those forces requires a lot more from you. *Especially* if you are a journalist. Don’t wait until the situation becomes dire.

If I just had a baby and was sitting in a donkey stable in the middle of winter and a little boy started drumming right in my sleeping infant's face, I would have totally lost my shit.

Wow. So only the super rich can afford to buy the winning lottery ticket now.

I now own 3 records, so it's probably time I thought about getting a record player. What features do I want in a record player? I don't have an amp at the moment either.

Give a man a fish. Sure, why not? Go around giving strangers weird fish gifts. Who cares
This is a battle for the future of civilization. If motion smoothing continues to be activated by default on new televisions, tyranny is all that lies ahead.

for the #7books to know you by meme.... look, earlier this year I commissioned an Etsy artist to draw a pile of books for me, so this may be cheating (more than 7 books!) but here you go. A snapshot of me in books!

highly recommend the artist btw; if you want book art check out their shop! https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/shelfworndrawn

Boss made a dollar
Grandad made a dime
But that was a poem
From a simpler time

Boss made a thousand
Gave my pa a cent
But that penny bought a mortgage
Or at least it paid the rent

Now boss makes a million
And gives us jack
Smugly blames his workers
For the labor that he lacks
