Plotting the book, Pantsing the Launch
So I'm a plotter, as a writer. Which means for my upcoming novel, "Under The Full And Crescent Moon", I had a very clear outline of what I wanted the story to be.

Sign a Petition. Direct support of Palestinians
So there's a Canadian petition collecting signatures called e-6662 and it's the first link on my bio. It calls for the Canadian government to cut ties with Israel in concrete ways. The fact this is sponsored by a Liberal Member of Parliament is a big deal and I'll get into why.1
A quick note on Kirk and the only way back to a sane normal
Charlie Kirk was an unarmed non-combatant and he was lethally targeted on the 10th of September 2025 on a university campus in Utah. His life ending with a long distance bullet to the neck in the USA.1
I am going to be completely morally consistent here.
The final boss of Zionist rhetoric
So one thing we need to talk about is Zohran Mamdani recently saying he will now discourage the use of the phrase "Globalize the Intifada." on the 8th of September on MSNBC.1

I consider myself to be a Progressive Muslim and that has gotten easier to explain over the years as I can just point to one of the many examples of Muslim identifying politicians in the West that are more than happy to march and mug for the cameras in Pride Parades.
Dark Money and Para Social News Sources
So there was an article from Wired by journalist Taylor Lorenz about Democratic Influencers being funded by dark money on the 27th of August 20251 that has caused a mess online that doesn't seem to be going away. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then please skip this, you do not need to know, trust me.
Review of KPop Demon Hunters
Kpop Demon Hunters is a fluffy fun superhero story on Netflix. It's got beautiful colourful visuals, snappy writing, catchy songs and great action scenes telling the story of a three person Korean girl group Huntr/x defeating a horde of demons led by an evil Korean boy band The Saja Boys.
And if that's all it was I wouldn't be talking about it.
Less Than One Month
As seems to be tradition, I am writing this a day late. In less than a month my book comes out. I wish I could focus on just that amidst the devastation of the world.
But I kind of did yesterday!
The Justice Free narrative of Mark Carney
I have always loved stories, and believe deeply in the power of narratives.
Which is why one of the most disheartening and repulsive things to me is the attempt to establish a dishonest and unjust narrative.
Video Review of Oxford Soju Club
If you're looking for a story that engages both the mind and the heart in equal measure than I highly recommend Oxford Soju Club by Jinwoo Park.
Let's get the disclaimers out of the way
