It’s February, it’s cold 🥶 and we could use a lot of help right now! 🙏 We’ve reduced adoption fees to make space in our shelters and we also need more foster homes. 🏡That could be you! 🫵

Best reality show ever. “It’s a well-made and entertaining thirst trap that’s held a spot among Netflix’s most-watched shows in the US since its release in late January.”

This is an interesting question. I wouldn’t give up submitting to any Canadian literary magazine. I do make sure I already read the magazine, that it’s a fit for my writing and pays its writers. Taste is subjective. Mags get new readers all the time. Etc. Don’t give up!

How many rejections does it take for you to give up trying to submit to a lit mag?

Dogs are like donations - AARCS loves them all, big or small. 🙏 If you’d like to make a substantial contribution why not try a one-year kennel sponsorship to help with care, upkeep and supplies. 🦴🐕. Check out https://t.co/G3fTweDYyH. #aarcs #yyc #yeg

I want a Hallmark movie about a woman who dumps her bigoted small-town boyfriend, moves to a big city, lands a dream job and discovers the magic of Christmas by living in community with people of different creeds and cultures.
