Submitted my piece for the @cv2magazine.bsky.social #2DayContest2026 !
Glad to have participated in the contest as part of my writing goals for the year. Felt good about my planning and approach to the weekend and have Monday off. May you never find yourself in a zugzwang position!
Refuse to believe that it is not palette cleanser.
Witnessing the mistreatment of the unhoused, people largely minding their own business, irritates me so much. Not a good use of public funds to promote safety or inclusion in our cities.
Thanks for the desk feature in the newsletter!
Whoa! Sounds hype. I've got my ticket for Friday!
On Monday’s OFF WORLD at 8-9pm MT...

We'll see how much wiggle room I have to express myself and get out of my solivilgant funk. Nonetheless, bbqing burgers outside for dinner. Happy Spring!

Also a good point about how much of our ecology we have given up to car infrastructure.
Thanks for sharing these perspectives! However, I still get upset when I see mature trees getting taken down needlessly on infill lots. Maybe there are structural reasons for taking down those trees at times, though.
I am participating in the 2-Day Poem Contest this weekend! I will do my best to represent the mountain time zone.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Yes, offering a light-hearted comment
Solid weather to start the playoffs.

Gladu does not seem like a good get.
Will the 2-day contest discord channel be live for this event?

Every day is Fossil Fuel Appreciation Day in Alberta, let's get real.
I'm thrilled to be facilitating this year's Poetry & Stillness showcase: Saturday April 11 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m at Unity of Edmonton.
For those who've never been, I've referred to this event as "poetry church". A space of attentive presence, communal listing, and poetry. It is lovely.
