Ice broke on the Yukon River at Dawson, YT at 1056am MDT Wednesday. This is the tenth earliest break-up in 130 years of observations. Four of the ten earliest break-ups have occurred in the past decade. #ytwx #ClimateChange @radtek58.bsky.social @jkanadisk.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social

I did not play The Last of Us video games and so I was not prepared for episode 2. I’m not sure I can go on! What the fuck!

Being an adult is just making a mess in the kitchen and then cleaning it up so you can make another mess in the kitchen and then cleaning that mess up and so on until you die

One of my kids can’t have dairy, so I’ve been wondering if the lack of fat in the non-dairy milk is making my puddings flatter! I like the texture too 😊

My Yorkshire puddings never do that!

Maybe it's a good time to share my feel-good doc about being gender-queer. Cuz, you know. We need to increase our gender joy. www.vimeo.com/michaelvsmit...

Some Notes on Judging Poetry – Rob Taylor by Rob Taylor In May 2024, I was invited to judge the Fred Cogswell award for the best Canadian poetry book of 2023. I said yes immediately, having long been a fan of the prize’s structure (and, of…

BC poet Rob Taylor wrote a generous, breathtaking, wise and honest, and, above all else, personal appraisal of poetry prize adjudication in Canada. This should be required reading for Canadian poets, and poetry prize committees. And congrats to the long-listed poets. the-wood-lot.ca/2025/01/19/s...
