Grateful to have had the chance to tell Pat's story and for all the responses it's generated–many far flung folks are chatting about their love of Kingston’s Cambodian food now… so nice to see.

Loved writing this piece—my first for the @globeandmail. Such a thrill to report on “what the hearthside season’s haunts are trying to tell us” for Canada’s paper of record. Thanks to Seth @biblioasis @aruna_dutt @rashamourtada and @BrownoftheGlobe for making it happen.

I wrote about collections for @reviewcanada and about how sometimes books sneak out of the stacks--and then back in. Also, time, chance encounters, and bookstores, especially my favourite--Berry & Peterson in Kingston, ON.

What happens if the line shifts from “lost at sea” to “a sea, lost”? I wrote this essay about oceans, books, and doom to explore how, wherever we’re headed with climate change, we’re taking the ocean to get there.

Why the metaverse shows Silicon Valley “is in desperate want of a big new idea.” I’m baffled to think they’re betting this much on everyone suddenly really enjoying VR—but “the dustbin of technology past is littered with failed VR headsets.” Best piece I’ve read on this.

Wrote about what's *really* driving the Facebook Meta/verse facelift—a cocktail of desperate PR, founder ego, and a dawning, Silicon Valley-wide imperative to find the next big framework for investors to move capital into, for @TheAtlantic:.

My big takeaway from writing this piece for @thewalrus — LGBTQ2+ battles for the right to safe sex outside paved the way for digital privacy protections today.

WJT Mitchell on working with students: yes classes should be demanding, but “The big thing is when they feel like theyʼve got to produce something out of it, what sorts of possibilities do you open for them so they donʼt feel totally blocked, intimidated?”.
