Elon Musk is Not a Troll (Night Girl promotion begins)

I hope you like the comic above promoting my upcoming re-release of my urban fantasy novel, The Night Girl. I would like to thank cartoonist Lar deSouza for taking on my idea for a two-panel comic and giving it life....

Neat! Just found out that K/W has multiple runs to Listowel (via Elmira) and Stratford/St Mary’s courtesy of perthcounty.ca/pcconnect. Stops in town are at the Central Station, the VIA/GO station and Conestoga Mall.

Good to have the counties and the regions step up for rural and intercity transit in southwestern Ontario. We could use more of this, and more coordination, I think.

Confront your internalized ableism, I said. Don’t don’t soldier on and make yourself sick; ask for a wheelchair at the airport, I said. You are not a burden or a lesser person, I said.

Reader — by which I specifically mean @AirCanada — it did not go well.

So, we have a diner in Kitchener-Waterloo called Mel’s that leans into classic 50s chic, with posters of classic movies like Attack Of the 50ft Woman adorning the walls. Photos of classic movie scenes and actors like Cary Grant adorn the sneeze shields between the booths.

Which brings me to this photo between my booths and why I’m tagging @wilw on this toot. Recently Mel’s has been updating themselves. Not the look — everything is reassuringly familiar and the food is good — just the movies they’ve chosen. Like this scene, from the film Stand by Me, starring Wil Wheaton.

I can only imagine how it might feel to find your face suddenly on the walls of a themed diner that recalls a classic era.

Then again, he’s just a few weeks younger than I am.
