Reskeet with a time you looked cool
Against a painterly red-orange background, a middle-aged white woman looks imperiously down at the camera. We only see her from the shoulders up, and she seems to be naked. She is wearing a black plastic bag on her head. We see a glimpse of an octopus tattoo on her left shoulder.

Now the weather has turned cold, I get this
A redheaded white woman in glasses is peering over the head of a brown tabby cat who is snuggled on her chest. The only reason this is happening is the cat wants her body heat. She is just a space heater to him. A space heater who must not type.

The era has not changed. I'm still exactly this human though perhaps am reading slightly more sophisticated books at the moment

Greetings from nature
Kelly is a white woman with long red hair and red cat eyeglasses. She is standing in a park with dirt paths criss crossing behind her and trees in fall

Greetings from my very favourite post-apocalyptic subway station, which has been in renovation since at least 2014

How the heck did I get this in my list of emojis

A screenshot of an emoji picklist, with a red arrow pointing at a black shoebill-like bird image, serious and maybe menacing. The arrow says WTF.

I haven’t been posting much from Banff, because it’s been so intense and wonderful here. Our group of Science Fiction writers are absolutely amazing and I love every single one of them. Here is a mountain.
Under a dark blue sky, a mountain in the distance rises to the right. A range of mountains receipt into the horizon on the left. In the mid ground is a lit up street with a few glowing buildings along it, and in the foreground are the upper parts of conifer trees framing the view.

Ridiculously early to be up but here we are at the Banff Centre
In Moonlight, a house with lit up windows behind a screen of conifer trees. A staircase leads down towards the door. In the dark, a sweep of driveway curves toward a lit up building with many square feet of glowing glass. Conifer branches hang over the foreground.

I’m sorry but this is a just a wood chipper. Calling it a Bandit Intimidator just shows how toxic your masculinity is.

In the crappy town where I’m a hero. Calstock, Cornwall.

(Not a crappy place; quite the opposite. Do you get the reference?)

Monumental Thomas Price sculpture going up at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
On a sidewalk, a red forklift holds a huge sculpture of a young black woman over the sidewalk. There is a step ladder on the right, houses in the background, and many people gathered around, watching the statue being moved.
