To escape real horrors, I read about why some of my favourite writers ever love horror fiction. So good!

Orange you glad you live in a country that has universal healthcare? One of the best #Canadian things. Sure would be lovely if my grifting, separatist premier appreciated that... #CanadaDay 🇨🇦 #AbLeg #FireTheUCP

My debut collection of poetry, Confirm Humanity. Published in October 2025 with Edmonton-based Wild Skies Press. A finalist for the National Indie Excellence Awards and currently shortlisted for a Whistler Independent Book Award. wildskiespress.com/our-books/#c...

A book cover featuring the title Confirm Humanity, poems. An illustrative image of flowers and greenery, some colored and some black and white, surrounding a laptop computer with a black and white skull sitting on it. The author's name, Kim Mannix, is below.

A description reads: In Confirm Humanity, Kim Mannix delivers a hauntingly honest collection of poems that explore the fragile balance between joy and sorrow, asking what it means to endure, observe, and feel deeply in a beautifully broken world.

The face you make when you decide to be 'tough' and go to the fire skills workshop you signed up for, even though it's pouring rain, 10 degrees and this thing is HOURS long. But it was actually pretty fun too.

#Caturday shenanigans with the boy in the box. And if you're an old Canadian, you now have Corey Hart's incomparable 1985 banger 'Boy In The Box' in your head. You're welcome. #CatsOfBluesky
