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.
Thanks @jduffinwolfe for writing such a wonderful story on a true Kingston icon #ygk.

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.
"Sometimes a book found at random is the perfect one.". Read @jduffinwolfe on Marius Kociejowski's "A Factorum in the Book Trade" (@biblioasis) and @jcsped and @JAWeingarten eds. "Unpacking the Personal Library" (@wlupress). From the October issue.

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.
"We're in this sinking ship together. Will we find a way to sail it, and if so, where?". @jduffinwolfe gazes into grey depths in an essay from the November issue.

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.
These devices risk a variety of breaches, from the nonconsensual gathering, release, or use of personal data to the easy discoverability of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth signals by other networked devices nearby. 3/6 #Hacking #CyberSecurity.
