I hate gay Halloween, what do you mean you’re going as Pepper’s rat tail in American Horror Story Asylum?

Sometimes it takes a bully to reign in a bully and Doug Ford is nothing if not a bully.

WestJet’s next upgrade will be:

“passenger in a box!”

Can you fit in a box like a cat?! You can save with our latest seating arrangement! We now offer travel boxes for your convenience. Once you enter the box, you’re comfortably stacked in the back of the plane.

Air holes are extra.

A trend I’ve noticed! Gay-baiting influencers on TikTok and instagram are suddenly affirming their heterosexuality. They post videos (scaled between funny and cringy) coming out as straight.

I guess now that the political climate is shifting, they will take the money and run back to safety.

It is so weird how obsessed Danielle Smith is with trans people. What’s going on, lady? What is haunting you?

So sad.

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational."

- Charlie Kirk, speaking in an Turning Point USA event on April 5, 2023.

I wonder how Charlie Kirk feels about gun control reforms in the US now.

I know no one cares because this is not some clever one liner or a comment on current affairs: but my agent read my latest manuscript and loved it. #books #author #writer

Hey #writers friends: do you engineer your #book titles according to marketability?

My next novel is The Saltwater Requiem [working title] and I love it. It also works with my previous titles.

But whenever I share it with others I get “huh?” As a response.

Hey so when you say GoodReads reviews are not for the authors, why do you directly talk to the authors in your reviews?

Glad you enjoyed it.

“Please keep your eyes on the road. A brown person ahead. Would you like to notify ICE?”

My mama didn’t raise a quitter. She raised an anxiety-ridden dysfunctional child with unreasonable expectations of himself but at least not a quitter.

I’m so glad this was one of the books I picked up at the recent @writersfest.bc.ca fundraiser book sale. Thank you @dannyramadan.com for trusting us with your extraordinary story: excellent writing and I really liked the structure too.

Capitalism is when you know in your heart that if we pay for oxygen, oil companies would rebuild the forests and create artificial woods in the middle of the ocean. As long as we pay extra for O2+ or whatever.

Great review and all but did it have to end with the mandatory YASSS QUEEN?

Alright. On today, Canada Day, I have received the honour of becoming a Canada Scholar for my literary work.

The award is presented by the Library and Archives Canada -a federal institution that offers the honour to five distinguished scholars annually.
