Congratulations!

Best editor one day I’m sure!

One hour to go to Oiler playoff hockey!!!!!

Hail the Apocalypse by avatar. Lots by them actually.

Smelters! Is there a better band for catchy as hell punk songs? Took my kids too since it was all ages show. Such a good time!

Thanks! Over the years there have been ups and downs and that’s ok.

For this year I’ve just been trying to get three workouts in a week. Once the spring arrives for really real I will add in some running. Anyways today was shoulders. Not too bad for a more chill regime. And I’m 51 so. Anything is better than nothing!

Omg thank you I had no idea

This song. Sometimes gotta skip it because it’s not always a good time to have a little cry.

Leaving aside the jokes that are just right there for the taking, I’ve always found it odd that art was always so consistent with itself, historically. Like wouldn’t there be iconoclasts? Kids? Just artists who weren’t good at it? Those things don’t get preserved I suppose.

Tampa bay vs Montreal in the first round? That’s too bad it worked out that way. Winner of that series is going to the final. Where they will lose to the oilers.
(I have to say that of course but I imagine most hockey fans would say the Avs are hoisting the cup this year)

Breaking news! @scifinow.bsky.social reveals the cover to "The Quantum Dawn," the 4th (of 5) novel in my Quantum Evolution series from @solarisbooks.bsky.social and @recordedbooks.bsky.social!

Quantum Dawn will appear in ebook, paper, and audio in October 2026. Pre-order: geni.us/quantdawn

Things we find ourselves saying in this messed up world:
I’m on the pope’s side goddammit

"Carve the runes
Then be content with silence."

This is so wild to me. Utah has clinched a playoff spot- currently occupying the first wild card slot while the top three in Pacific Division haven’t clinched yet! Oilers currently 1st but a lot can happen in a week

So cool!

Anyways who need advice from me. I’m just some asshole. New Archspire album out today!

But also sometimes I was just an asshole and I don’t mind being told so! Apologies are actually something I’m pretty good at (lots of practice).
Here is a good template that I use, modified for the situation:
I am sorry that my action caused you harm and I would like to repair it if I can.

She likes to reframe these sorts of things in a different way to flip things around and then it’s like “see you weren’t being an asshole at all you were …”
And often that’s a great way when you’re carrying guilt or shame that is burdensome and preventing you from moving forward. Which is good!

I really like my therapist but if I were to offer one note to her (and actually I think I have said this!) it’s that she is too affirming. I love being told I’m awesome but I also bare my soul and reveal that I’m an asshole sometimes and I actually need her to say “ugh yea that was assholish “

Ask your therapist how they are using AI as well. I think they will tell you even before you ask if they use it, for example, for taking notes. And they will let you opt out of that. I know this from a very small sample size though. And things might be different here in Canada.

And you should ask your therapist that question too! Mine is lovely and takes handwritten notes but some use ai to take notes and stuff. I’m sure there’s no chance of a data breach though !

That is a pretty cool Zamboni I’ll give you that

Bouch having an off night for sure. I made a ferruchemist joke about him at the beginning of the season but now I wonder if he is more like Taravangian. Sadly I have no friends with this exact Venn diagram of interests ;)

Typical oilers game 1-1 with no shots on net yet! (It’s actually 1-1 in shots too it just takes a while for the shot clock to catch up.)

I love this book! What an unusual cover though.

April will break your … well you know the rest.

Start slow. Run for one minute then walk for one minute. If you are able, do this five times. But even that may be a bit much to start. On the second day do it twice. Work your way up. Next week run for two minutes walk for one X times. Eventually run ten minutes walk one. And so forth.

I know the tweet is Al generated when they use " ," before and.
