International giveaway! A signed ARC of THE BONE SHARD EMPEROR (out Nov 9), a Mephi mug, and your choice of Mephi sticker. If you haven’t read the first book, I’ll send you the paperback of that too ☺️
RT and follow to enter! Ends 8am Friday PST, 9/24.
ALT THE BONE SHARD EMPEROR ARC stands upright. The cover is teal with two sea serpents twined around crossed swords. THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER paperback stands behind it. In front of it is a dark blue mug with a painting of Mephi standing on it, hugging a fish, and saying “I deserve this.” Next to the mug are four Mephi stickers.

Poets, especially Asian American female poets, don't dream about being on the Time 100 List. But it happened and I'm on the cover.
.@aliwong on @cathyparkhong: "I annotated the hell out of 'Minor Feelings'—it’s the kind of book you want to dog-ear and underline. Reading it was such a crazy feeling: I felt so seen that I couldn’t believe that this book existed" #TIME100 ti.me/2XktakE

There's been a lot said lately about our dear social media intern, Bruce. And now, Bruce would like to say a few words...
#SteadyAsSheGoes #BruceReynolds
A very important thread. Thank you for this, @lindabear78
As I'm about to #FinishtheRun for Ahmaud Arbery, I can't help but think about something that happened in our trail community several months ago.

We Are Trail also features thoughts and ideas by runners in the community on how to make trail running more accessible. Thanks again, @We_Are_Trail!
"...transportation is an important consideration for making trail running more accessible."
Part 3 of Mei's post is up!

One of the things that I love about @We_Are_Trail is that in addition to highlighting the good things about trail running (and there are so many!), they also highlight experiences and reflections on how to make trail running more inclusive.
"....to some people, the everyday experiences of BIPOC people with racism are “baggage,” as if we are free to leave behind our racial trauma whenever we want."

Thanks to @We_Are_Trail for the opportunity to be profiled. They're all about celebrating diversity and inclusion in trail running. Give them a follow!
"I really appreciate how trail runners look out for one another & help each other out. I love the words of encouragement they say when they pass each other at races or on the trails in general."

I recently got to talk about my favourite line in The Little Prince with the Once Upon a Line podcast. Check it out! Do you have a favourite line in a book? I’ve also enjoyed hearing people share theirs. buzzsprout.com/1361668/63345…
I’m so sad to see this. I had the pleasure of meeting @erinwallatwork once (through running of all things). Such a loss. I’ll be listening to her this evening. All my love to her family and friends. ❤️ cbc.ca/music/canadian-sopran…
I’m looking forward to going back to @Tribe_Fitness in person. In the meantime, they’ve been keeping me healthy, less stressed and feeling connected to my community online. Thanks to @TELUSBusiness for supporting #smallbiz! #StandWithOwners
We’re committing up to $500K to support Canadian #smallbiz & need your help. Tag an independent small business and @TELUSBusiness using the hashtag #StandWithOwners. We’ll purchase a $25 gift card for you to use. bit.ly/3bcBtQR
On March 7 I’m spinning for 3 hours (my most ever!) at the annual Bike for Kids spin-a-thon to raise money for SickKids. If you’re able to, please consider making a donation: fundraise.sickkidsfoundation…
My dad used to do this with computer books that he owned when I was a kid. He would just carry a few chapters around with him and read them while we were on the go. It drove my mom (who is a librarian) crazy.
.@alexchristofi shared this photo, saying that he cuts longer books in half in order to make them more portable. Have you ever heard of this - or better yet, have you done this? 🤔📗
Registration opens today! I've run all the @5peaksrun races in Ontario, and happy to tell you about my favourite part of each course if you have any questions! Register here: 5peaks.com/ontario #5peakstrailcrew #runwildwith5peaks

The menu looks delicious! We should go (maybe skip the running part like Kate suggested lol). @katerzphd @runningdesigner @PeterLeventis
