The status quo is so ingrained in the social consciousness that it can be hard to imagine anything else. It takes mental work to get yourself out of that swamp. I think if more people read novels, no matter what type, it would help their brains be open to imagining things differently.

My 2025 in Books So, it hasn’t been 2025 for a while, but releasing my debut novella, Caldera’s Edge, really felt like the capper-offer of 2025 rather than the jumper-offer of 2026. The whole year felt like the build-...

Now that it's been 2026 for a while, why not live in the past and go through the books I read in 2025? New blog post!

To be fair, this kind of thing did happen in both nazi Germany and Soviet Russia (at times). I do agree though, they consider nazis much more palatable than communists, although they equate them as being the same when it suits them. Almost as if their arguments don't make sense at all.

I've held off taking the DCC plunge, but I know it's coming for me. This might just be my trigger to jump in.

The term "free will" reminds me of the equally vague "common sense" that conservatives love to throw around. It can mean whatever they want it to.

Hey again, Mike. Iwas just trying to send a DM but it wasn't letting me. I think you should be able to message me though.

I'll send you a DM in a little bit. Thank you!

Ill see if I can message you in a little bit. Ill get your email and send them to you that way.

I'd love to send over either a PDF or EPUB file of both novellas. Im also happy to beta read any of your work in return.

I'd love to send the novellas over to you in PDF or EPUB. I'm happy to reciprocate and beta read your work in return.

I'll be releasing the first novella in my scifi trilogy very soon. I'm looking for beta readers for book 2. I'd prefer if someone could read books 1 and 2 so they have the context, but I'm only looking for notes on 2. About a 50,000 word reading commitment, total.

I've been to protests and written letters about it. I have taken a stand. I also know that nothing will get better for anyone if we have another election.

Cool that you're making assumptions. I dont support the majority of what Carney does, but you're delusional if you think PP would be in any way better.

17.11.2025 19:32 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

So you'd rather give PP another chance at becoming PM?

17.11.2025 19:27 πŸ‘ 0 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Fuuuuck no. Like I said, I don't love Carney, but PP as PM would be the worst possible outcome.

17.11.2025 17:33 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

If we have another election, I hope the frustration and blame lands squarely on the conservatives. I don't love Carney, but does anyone actually want another election?

A female socialist mayor too! Love to see it!

I'm actually shocked at how this winter wave has gone. I'm in Norfolk County, which is about as far south as you can get in Ontario. Friends up further north have said that they didn't get anything. Definitely enjoying the beauty. Im sure you'll get yours soon!

Canadian mornings are a great time for some hot coffee and sci-fi writing!

Do you think there's anyone in Canada that has the potential to be a Canadian ZM?
