I love my library.
Dear @ptbolibrary, we regret to inform you of the demise of one of your paperbacks, which we found early this morning, its pages strewn across a windswept sidewalk (along George Street). RIP Camus.
Adjourned now, at 7:18 p.m. Goodnight and thank you for following along!

But if you're an editor you don't want to become a verb: "He Billed my story." "My story got Bobbed." Probably means you're rewriting, not editing.

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are nouns when you stress the first syllable but verbs when you stress the second. "Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.”
@richardwarnica Oh man. At least I am cropped out of this one
Not sure I’m on board with the coverage priorities behind this story. Making housing a human right won’t solve the problem any faster. Even so: the ghosting treatment reporters get from official sources is execrable. It’s almost refreshing to find out where you stand with them.
I asked the provinces if they think housing is a human right, and plan to make rules protecting that right. Quebec sent this: "Do I ghost her again? Otherwise, a general response that doesn't answer, to say housing is a priority for our government?" thestar.com/news/canada/ca…
