a dawn walk

RE: @Aepasek@scholar.social

I have a chapter in this with the wonderful Yani Kong! (In this OPEN ACCESS and FREE BOOK) It's been a minute since the workshop that led to this book, and feeling distant from 2022 dawn. That said, I still dig our exploration of constraint through slow and decelerated media as we wrote together.

thanks @Aepasek@scholar.social for collecting and editing us.

Last year my goal was to read 100 books, I got very close (96 with a few unfinished I'm taking with me into 2026).

I'm happy that I managed to read consistently. Though wish I had a different mix: less genre fiction (esp. long series), less contemporary books with buzz (more than half were books released in the last 2 years (29 in 2025 + 32 in 2024).

Thought I'd post some standouts:

Wish I could be in Toronto for Civic Spark in a couple weeks. I've always loved the care the Civic Tech Toronto crew has brought to planning volunteer-run events

My favourite part of the garden so far this year are all the #mushrooms (though getting a complex about my wrists looking strange in photos)

Struggling with what even is posting anymore, but it's the season for garden pics #bloomscrolling

@loriemerson@post.lurk.org oh I’m sorry to hear! I was planning on pre-ordering thru my local bookstore, but if there is a better direct link I’ll watch for it!
