People are sharing their favourite books of 2025. A bit late, I just finished this (I’m a slow reader). It’s an exquisite snapshot of the end of the Farming Golden Age with the kind of surprising and detailed character study that should be read by everyone who isn’t already reeling at the patriarchy

Ask your loved ones to provide you with an opportunity to slow down. I HIGHLY recommend it ❤️

Hamilton City Magazine calls Hum-Buzz “Well crafted and masterfully delivered … audacious and intense.” There’s only THREE performances left: don’t miss it at the Hamilton Fringe Festival this week! Thurs to Saturday. 324 James st N (through the alley). #theatre #fringe #review #performance #fly

In case I haven't mentioned it three times, I'm producing a festival. And it's soon. treadingtheatreproject.weebly.com

Since announcing the programming for the Treading Theatre Festival, we got estate permissions and were able to add ONE MORE PRODUCTION. Whaaat? I know, I know. You just can't wait! Local theatre legend, Gary Kirkham, is going to perform an intimate and haunting production of Krapp's Last Tape.

He could learn from Elizabeth May as well:

Just finished reading this gorgeous series by Jeanne DuPrau to my kiddo. The back cover says that it’s for ages 8-12 but I found it to be mature and thematically huge. City of Ember series. I strongly recommend it.
