@CharlotteAshley God damn, but I hope you feel better soon. I got lucky (I think) with my Covid run-in in January, ut sciatica was the worst pain I've ever felt. Here's to your supporters.

@nonbinarynic We do?!?

[The BumblePuppy Press @BumblePuppyPres]

This seems almost redundant, but paying the advance feels different from signing the contract. @zillanovikov's fantastic toxic-romance cum tale of transdimensional intrigue, #Reprise, is now officially forthcoming from #bppress! #sciencefiction #romance #darkacademia #specfic

There is still time to support our #Kickstarter campaign!

Our #cascade campaign keeps on keeping on. #RachelARosen's debut novel is now a #Kickstarter #ProjectWeLove!

There are still hard and softcover autographed copies available and we'll be launching our first stretch-goal soon.

[Edifice Rex @ed_rex]

In my other life, I am also a publisher, and I wouldn't have bought this if I didn't believe #Cascade is a fantastic novel. The #Kickstarter is funded, but you can still buy the book and score some great extras at the same time.

[The BumblePuppy Press @BumblePuppyPres]

Wow! Amazing support for the #cascadenovel #kickstarter! Fully funded after only 1 day! Stretch-goals soon, but still time to pre-order this brilliant debut!

In one of my other lives I am a publisher - and a really excited publisher at that! #coverreveal #rachelarosen #cascade #cascadenovel

[The BumblePuppy Press @BumblePuppyPres]

It's that time at last! After a long gestation, #RacheARosen's first novel is nearly out. May I present the cover of #Cascade!

@theJagmeetSingh Jack Layton did it with affordable housing?!? I sure hope your dental and pharmacare plans have a little more staying power.

The Economist has finally found a war it doesn't like.

[Edifice Rex @ed_rex]

@mijopo As far as I know the city can/could have requested OPP assistance, and possibly RCMP, on its own.

And there is also this ...

[Edifice Rex @ed_rex]

@mijopo For the record, I live about three blocks away from the perimeter of the occupation and want them gone, and I am quite a bit to the left of the NDP, but I still oppose the imposition of the Act.

[Edifice Rex @ed_rex]

@mijopo I think use of the Act does 2 things:

1) It allows for outside forces to deal with a situation the #OttawaPolice either can't or won't act; and

2) it may help normalize use of Act in future - especially against unions, indigenous, environmentalist activists.

For all those removing mask mandates, I repeat a graphic I've been using since March 2020. We keep doing this over and over and over.

I, like all other right-thinking, red-blooded, westerners, am terrified of Russian aggression! Look how close it is to our (strictly defensive) military bases!

[Edifice Rex @ed_rex]

@Hurka It's pretty disturbing to realize that so many ostensible allies don't seem to know what principles are, let alone have any.
