I am hemorrhaging money running Stanchion right now. If anyone would like a phenomenal book or magazine issue (or a handful of them) please consider buying something. I've seriously published some remarkable work.

Somewhere a therapist is trying to get people to "live in the moment" while this girl is already three levels deep into a made up game that only exists in her head and involves real trains. The world needs more pointless whimsy.

Just out here not charging fees, paying people, making beautiful magazines and books, pricing them fairly, and when people order, shipping them quickly (same or next day). You know, like it should be.

Writers should be paid to write, not pay to be read.

In Ojibwe our word for loon is maang (mong). There is a lake near Peterborough, ON called Chemong Lake or big loon lake.

I'd love to be able to caption these as "A Foggy Afternoon In London, Ontario" but, sadly, no, this is smoke from hundreds of kilometers away, from massive and devastating forest fires in Northern Ontario.

Being outside (not recommended) right now is very similar to sitting beside a campfire, having a breeze blow smoke in your face, switching seats to avoid the smoke, and then having the breeze change direction so that you still get the smoke in your face.

I'm a cat person but I love this. And especially that it's dog-eared...

Replying to @wolfblitzer @fordnation
As someone who grew up in Ontario, I can assure you, Mr. Blitzer, that most of us despise that absolute piece of garbage whose hand you’re shaking.

Yes, the world will rejoice when he dies but, dammit, he needs to be in jail when that happens, otherwise there's no evidence that the American system really works.

Reading the early news and you think that the world couldn't possibly get any shittier or more depraved and then you hear that Catherine O'Hara has passed away💔 She's been utterly brilliant for decades and will be so missed.😢
