I left before people got drunk and before I was overtired. The property had a couple of ponds and I walked (jogged?) a trail through the woods that felt like a wall of mosquitoes. There were several enormous willow trees.

I rode my bike a lot more in the last neighbourhood where I lived. <br/><br/>When I went to Conestoga college, I rode my bike rather than take the bus because it was a ~50 minute bike ride as opposed to a ~2 hour bus ride.

One common reason for this is that the text, though under 1000 words, isn&#39;t a flash narrative. This might mean your story would work better as a longer story, part of a longer story, or even poetry.&#34;<br/><br/>Another time, I received a form rejection that said my work might be offensive or poorly edited. <br/><br/>Lit mags, don&#39;t put stuff like this in your form rejections. If it&#39;s personalized and you want a writer to revise and resubmit, ok. But including this in all rejections comes across as condescending or alienating. <br/><br/>Sometimes the story is perfectly fine and just doesn&#39;t fit in your issue, and that&#39;s ok. I&#39;ve had stories rejected with these sorts of copy/paste commentary that went on to win contests. <br/><br/>Writers, don&#39;t take this stuff personally. Maybe your story does need a bit more revision. Or maybe the form rejection was written by a crankyass. #WritingCommunity #LitMags #publishing #RejectionLetters 2025-05-24T13:35:23Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs27dkxh6vjukreew9htavvq4rqdsspxsm4z87qkykwke0ljwfzt6szyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs70glru6 I guess this is the next step in web Enshittification.

Canada is built upon genocide. It profits on the effects of genocide, and racism is systemic in its power structure.

The Canadian flag is not the great balm for the soul so many settlers think it is. It is a symbol of colonial oppression for Indigenous folks. It wasn&#39;t so long ago that those hidden graves at residential schools were discovered. More continue to be found at the sites of former residential schools, and genocide deniers have been taking over the narrative. <br/><br/>Indigenous communities still remain without drinking water despite political promises even while Nestle plunders nearby water sources. <br/><br/>A large percentage of calls to action for Truth and Reconciliation remain unmet. <br/><br/>I see the jingoistic flag-waving disturbing and alienating. I&#39;ve already had people laughing at my alienation. <br/><br/>Do not alienate Indigenous people. As Jeff Doctor says over on BlueSky, &#34;Remember who taught you about maple trees, about the food from these lands, the ways to keep safe and warm. Some of your ancestors have already resisted Americans alongside ours, learn from the true histories, not the nationalist versions.&#34;<br/><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/jeff.doctor/post/3liaarncgwf2x">https://bsky.app/profile/jeff.doctor/post/3liaarncgwf2x</a><br/>#Canada #CanadianFlag #MapleLeafFlag #215Children #ResidentialSchool #Jingoism #TruthAndReconciliation #SystemicRacism #Genocide 2025-02-16T07:41:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswfsrvc9cs30ngpa76u5ak30rz93rw8qhhnrhr86zzuv6dflly9lgzyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs72y8mxm I miss you, Spud Bud. #chinchilla<br/> <img src="https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/113/985/397/461/060/546/original/10e8ea37d254ef68.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-02-11T13:06:11Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxhe0j0yee0mqg3z403zz6shpl3zkzgvgc8rf2sf50vr38xy0q25qzyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs7am3lcq Inuksuk I painted five years ago. #inuksuk #rocks #watercolor #watercolour #IndigeniusCreatives #ArtistsOnMastodon<br/> <img src="https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/113/982/665/545/513/870/original/bc7a44da221cc1d9.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-02-11T01:32:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs0vzrcjlht72q3qjj8vl29pl3xm0gf60y3j8rngswplxwrcdach3gzyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs7wvsdq8 Watercolour landscape I painted five years ago. #watercolor #watercolour #painting #landscape #ArtistsOnMastodon #IndigenousCreatives<br/> <img src="https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/113/940/027/276/114/377/original/434ae497e563913f.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-02-03T12:49:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsy9fxdzhly6dkzzk2t4h3jdtjfgfm26gz446h2ceya7e4pdqqttggzyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs7uhf2ym In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdgnkapdpx3qhe98wkrv6hqp09tyapjrnp09zankyh4rx2eayljys8zk9p0'>nevent1q…k9p0</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I have no idea.

I was a grocery store cashier, and everyone thought they’d be living off-grid come midnight. Panicking shoppers were buying all the canned goods, bottled water, and boxed foods and filling their carts. People were in a rage. The line of people waiting to get to the cash registers wrapped completely around the interior of the large store more than once. None of the cashiers were given any breaks. We were exhausted and shell shocked. <br/><br/>When my shift finally ended, I went and did my radio show: The Erotic Tablesaw. I had the 11-1 spot that night, and yes, I played 1999 by Prince as the countdown to midnight. <br/><br/>The world did not end.<br/><br/>Afterwards, I smoked cannabis for the first time. #Y2K #NYE1999 #NYE #memories #20thCentury<br/> <img src="https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/113/747/488/071/650/796/original/240a3f1bfb2c2884.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-31T12:45:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs99mw4l6tyyld502eflyafrrc2j8vcrlp7trggq6s8lzjcznsnwlqzyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs7qu5d8d When I was a little kid in the early to mid-70s, my favourite Sesame Street bit was a story about a little girl who had a kid goat named Thumper. She ran around calling the goat&#39;s name and they played together. I loved this because I was about the same age and also had a kid goat who went everywhere with me, although my goat was named Bimbo. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve never been able to find this Sesame Street clip anywhere. Does anyone else remember it? #SesameStreet #70s #goats 2024-12-22T17:31:21Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgrdkz7anvrurad9nkutn98krxv9fwqj280pl69cac24us9twvp8qzyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs7z7hvs2 I have a new blog post about my recent publications. <a href="https://shanmonster.dreamwidth.org/1024732.html">https://shanmonster.dreamwidth.org/1024732.html</a> #WritingCommunity #blog 2024-12-14T16:21:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszkjueavgann2rpt4hqt3w4n548gapcay6c2sanavtt0ehmsn4l8qzyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs7mkqf6q Remember Christopher Dorner? He went to war against the LAPD after getting fired for reporting excessive force. While hunting him down, LAPD opened fire on innocent civilians. <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt</a> #ChristopherDorner #vigilante #PoliceViolence 2024-12-13T17:29:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs87l0pnrawkv87pjhg34wmz8dlaqdgrc8ltc23e08lug88x3j5nqczyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs76xvkz9 Saw blade at a lumberyard. #photography #NaturalLight<br/> <img src="https://s3.c.im/media_attachments/files/113/612/048/852/102/245/original/f6baf13f97f7809f.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-12-07T14:40:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszaccqssjvthnvcmgawmmlv0uae660jwppxjt7afc0rgqv0n73srczyz4j0c86suszen3w8hayfzfjy2g0mmxw4z49try6u9krwjwqdvjs78e6y7r I dreamed I had a goldfish in a bowl far too small for it. The poor thing was bent because it couldn&#39;t straighten out. I picked it out of the bowl and put it in my mouth. I held it there until it stopped flopping around. I spit it back into the bowl. I&#39;d sucked out all of its colour. It was white and pallid. It was even bigger than before, and now there were also snails and a tiny octopus in the bowl. The fish gradually resuscitated, and then I woke up. #dream #DreamLog 2024-12-06T22:36:54Z
