Caledon friends: important decisions are being made at the town that are skipping the democratic process thanks to Doug Ford’s strong mayor powers. As a result, fans of the #Caledon library system need to be squeaky wheels. Today, if at all possible.

Exciting news today! I can finally share that I wrote a chapter for a wonderful book titled “Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech.” It will be published on March 26, 2026, and is already available for pre-order.
Book cover with the title and subtitle in blue letters at the top reading Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech. Below the title, taking up about 2/3 of the cover is a painting. The painting features arcs of yellow, orange, blue, turquoise, pink, and purple. The lower half of these swaths of bright colors are populated by abstract figures, circles, and building-like shapes. According to the artist, the work uses sheet music as a foundation, creating an abstract typographical interpretation of musical notation through bold design and color. Resting on the top left corner of the images are the words Edited by Lainey Feingold, Reginé Gilbert, Chancey Fleet. On the bottom right corner are the words CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group.

Went to Villa Diodati to see the house where Mary Shelley dreamt up Frankenstein only to see a statue of … Lord Byron! WT actual F?

Current status: crepes!
Crepes with ham cheese and an egg topped with salad. Crepes Bretonnes: apples and salted butter. It was even better than it looks!

The golden ratio in Blue Jays land.

My dog has a message.

The grounds crew pit a little circle behind first base. A little Vladdy highlight, if you will.

There are some grid lines laid out in the outfield which I am intrigued by. And drones flying around.

Yellow, green, red.
Three trees at the end of a walking path. The leaves on one have turned bright yellow, the middle tree is still green, and the third is bright red.

What a night! Kansas City is fun, y’all.
A red and white baseball jersey with “Monarchs” in red lettering across the front with an oversized black book laid on top. It has an old baseball on the front and is called 72 Stories. Three people — a young man, a middle-aged woman, and a man in the middle with his arms around them.
