Absolutely stoked to be among the 2026 winners of the BC-Yukon Book Prize. “This Book Is A Knife,” my second non-fiction work, took home the Jim Deva Award for Writing That Provokes. It focuses on a single thesis—that capitalism is the root of climate crisis. Read more 👇

Driving myself to the airport this morning to catch a flight to the Vancouver Writers Festival to talk about This Book Is A Knife, my queer, working class, anti-capitalist climate crisis book, and listening to Danielle Smith talk about how kids “are being transgendered behind their parents backs.”

As a writer, I make a point of asking the hard, important, big questions. It’s just that lately, with everything that’s going on, that question has become “bitch, are you fucking high?”

Queer books. When I was coming out in the aughts, you would go to a queer bookstore and it would be, by and large, just… bad. Bad writing, bad print quality, bad covers. Now, queer books—and queer characters—just… happen? I can read an amazing novel, and we’re just part of the novel, not a prop.

I think it's odd to live in a time where we're just past the peak of everything. In less then two decades, billionaires have stripped all progress, turned to warmongering, and ensured we will all suffer for their pissing contest. That said, luggage wheels are great.

I am watching House for the first time and … surely to the gods someone has written a full PhD dissertation on how House and Wilson are in love, right? …RIGHT?

THANK YOU, yes THIS

Costco often changes the floor plan to keep the animals engaged as they search for their next free food samples.

I had top surgery the spring of 2023. I went on T the spring of 2024. These decisions were some of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. If you want to transition, and you can transition, you should probably transition. Just a message for anyone who needs to hear that.

My favorite thing about administering midterms is meeting all the new students.

The Guardian's homepage right now... 1. "UK approves Jackdaw gasfield in North Sea" 2. World must cut emissions by 18% in four years ‘to find our way back’, UN says

So it snowed during a rainbow today. I officially don’t know what’s happening anymore

Totally normal guy fs

Cutting off both my parents & never, ever speaking to them again is, absolutely, w/o the shadow of a doubt, one of the best choices I ever made for myself. The covenant btw parents & children is two ways: unlimited love, care, & protection. If they didn’t pay their end, you don’t owe them yours.

Join me online for three sessions starting Thursday Nov. 26th - Dec 10th 7-9 pm CDT for Drawing Polar Bears. I'll be fresh off of guiding 4 polar bear trips in Churchill, Manitoba and we'll use my photographs as references. #SciArt cc @gnsiart.bsky.social www.mcnallyrobinson.com/classes

Supersized heat waves used to be rare. No longer. A Reuters data-driven examination of global temperatures reveals the emergence of what we call heat storms. They now swarm the planet, upending life around the world. reut.rs/4zBUXtM

I literally just unfollowed Chowhound for this exact reason + AI Slop

Being 40 is so weird. In some ways I’m in the best shape of my life—run 8K up a steep mountain pass? No prob. Hike 23 K round trip? Cool. Lift a bunch of heavy shit into a truck? No biggie. But two weeks ago I sneezed wrong and pulled a muscle and I’m someone still paying for it? WTF man?

I watched Florida taken apart by corrupt rightwing governors who destroyed so much. Oregon might not be perfect, but it has a functional government that has preserved many human rights other states have lost. Please don't take that for granted-- reelect Kotek as governor. Hold fast.

Thinking I might go write me some ghazals.

Whoever thought this was going to discourage people from seeing this movie has clearly never been on the internet. Like, possibly ever.

“Man, I could use a nap,” I say, at 10 PM on a Tuesday.

Edmonton people, if you need another reason to come to my book launch on Oct. 13, where I will be joined on stage by the incomparable @daniparadis.bsky.social, we have procured a life-sized cardboard cutout of the premier. Tickets: the-aviary.net/events/jerem...

never the wrong time for this classic

Just heard a song by Wolf Mother in a bar and looked up at the sound station to see it was playing “Oldies,” pray for my queer tranny ass.

Okay for fucking real did Annie Jacobsen write this? Are we being punked?

I think they meant “SS for work.” Helluva typo honestly.

So anyway, everything is bullshit, here’s a fall walk for you to consider—

In practice, AI literacy doesn’t start with building the tool for your personal use. It starts with understanding yourself as a collection of tasks who should subcontract those out to a machine. Almost no regular person’s life currently exists as such.

I’m so annoyed to admit I’m prolly a bush dog
