Seeing the shocked look on her and her grandmother's faces, I reassured them that she was in good hands with this one. As they left my eyes wandered toward the Ws. Maybe I could survive one?

Working my day job at the library yesterday and a very enthusiastic 10 year old brought up 4 novels to check out. Dust and Grim by @chuckwendig.bsky.social was one. I grinned and said he love following him on social media but his adult books are too scary for me.

I just read a Maya Angelou quote someone posted that said "Every storm runs out of rain."

Parents, with spring break road trips on the horizon here is an awesome audiobook that's fun for kids and won't want to make parents gouge their ears out (metaphorically speaking, of course). Plus there are 2 other books in the series! Available here and the usual audio retailers. payhip.com/b/WdTsL

A walk in the sunshine is a nice break from thoughts about the madness.

I directed a music video in ASL and it's made me actively search for more projects where I can integrate it into my work. The idea that language is part of the body expands us all. We need more not less.

Are their regulations the same as ours? There is no excuse for this.

In my book world, it's #ChristmasSpyder season! Here is the audio trailer recorded by Michael Gallagher. I love of all three of the Spyders chapterbooks, but the Christmas Spyder is my favourite. Print or audio are available through me or regular retailers. Here's a sample - youtu.be/H3tll3kebro?...

Another cooll thing in my film world is all the new people discovering #TheDirtChixMakingTime - a doc I did about The Dirt Chix mountain biking group. After Telus took a bunch of videos down I uploaded it to my own site and it's gaining a whole new audience. Here's the trailer. youtu.be/BCS2IcvsUpY

I love that I'm getting requests from communities to show #thetest - a documentary I completed about #LoganLake, the #tremontcreekwildfire and the #firesmart program in BC. Logan Lake spent 18 years preparing for a wildfire the hoped would never come, and then it did. youtu.be/Q2fHmSHLBwI

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

It could be that the original is more powerful because it radically changed so many futures. The new one is just an upgrade.

Vesta Giles @vg1111.bsky.social · Nov 16

If you're in Kamloops on November 24th come see me and the Spyders (3 adventurous spyders who get into a lot of trouble, and find a way out again) at the SPCA Craft Fair at TRU. It's the only big sale I do and I love sharing these chapter books with everyone. And the Christmas Spyder is so much fun!
