I’m not an unboxing-video kind of guy, but I’ll go as far as a few unboxing stills. Holding your own book in your hands for the first time never gets old. Stan On Guard—the sequel to Call Me Stan you didn’t know you were waiting for—will be released by @guernicaeditions.bsky.social March 1, 2026.

A cardboard carton with the letters UTP (for University of Toronto Press, the printer of the book in the other two pictures). That same carton, but opened to reveal packing material. Same carton again, but with the packing material removed to reveal copies of the novel Stan On Guard, the cover featuring the silhouette of a man walking away into a swirl of historical images.

Danielle Smith tried to sell her federal-Alberta energy deal to the UCP convention crowd: tepid applause.
She told them that this proved Canada can work well for Alberta’s interests: loud boos.

This ain’t a base that wants Smith to work with a Liberal PM on a better industrial carbon tax.

Did you know that not all scientific evidence has the same weight?

The more the study relies on an expert's opinion, rather than many data points and peer-review, the higher the risk of bias.

I'm going to do a little thread on how the money from books works for traditionally published authors because people have questions, and this is always useful info to share IMO. First, a big disclaimer that every contract is different, and there are a million factors that can change things. 1/

In addition a lot more authors need to talk about how small their sales are. Many independent press authors in Canada sell fewer than 500 copies of their books.

Manosphere antivaxxers: Olympic level mental gymnastics!

Vaccines (among the most studied & regulated interventions) are evil, but...

- Overuse of testosterone therapy? Cool
- Unproven supplements? Cool.
- Unproven peptide therapy? Cool.
- Steroids? Cool.
- HGH? Cool.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
