Proud to see my story, "Ask and Ye Shall Receive," as a finalist for @albertamags Awards. The story, which originally appeared in @FreeFallMag, is a period piece about homeless youth on the streets of T.O. in the year 2000. albertamagazines.com/award/fiction/

Hey @Microsoft, why is there a profanity censor in the dictate function of Microsoft Word? Is it really anyone’s business what words we write in our own personal computers?

Do a Google Image search of “beauty.” Count how many photos of men come up.

Today a man called and asked me if he could clean my ducts. I asked him what his sun and rising were, then his blood type, mother’s maiden name, and social insurance number. He told me to fuck off and I counted that as a win.

When people claim that God is loving I wonder what Bible they’re reading, for I’ve read mine closely and have not found depictions of His love. Quite the opposite, in fact. A sensible reading of the Bible reveals that God is indeed the great villain of all its stories.

We give far too much attention to those whose fame has been manufactured solely for the goal of being seen, and not because they themselves have something unique and virtuous to offer the world. People’s fame ought to be a reflection of their talent and wisdom.

Fun fact: in Matthew 6:5, Jesus commands people not to pray on street corners, so... to the dude with the giant cross at Dundas and Spadina... can you, like... not? 🐠 ✌️

Hey @realDonaldTrump, I learned a new word today: #Prolepsis: the representation or assumption of a future act or development as if presently existing or accomplished. Thanks @MerriamWebster!

If a man is doing push-ups on the sidewalk, is it rude to critique his form? All the way down, amirite?

Where in Toronto can you find a cafe w/ a heated, semi-covered patio—with wifi and wall outlets—and where it’s cool to work for 6 hours, take up a whole table, and only buy one coffee?

If someone were able to create an info graphic detailing the fluctuations of Kramer’s political leanings throughout the span of @SeinfeldTV, I’d be grateful.

Dear @meinlpercussion, do you make a backpack style case large enough to fit your jumbo subwoofer cajon (SUBCAJ5WN)? And if not, can you please? 📦 🚲 🎶
