As a writer, I love how Tamsyn Muir’s Harrow the Ninth (Locked Tomb Trilogy #2) is a genius masterclass in writing stories with heavy elements of grief. (There were a lot of other things I love about that book/series, of course, but that’s not what I’m rambling about today.) (no…
Fellow Canadian? Here’s another collection of links for places to support Black Lives Matter in and outside Canada, and great resources for finding Black-owned businesses in Toronto. I’ve committed to be more mindful about where I spend my money–it’s difficult, especially during a pandemic, but I’m getting there! Apart from…
I was dubious about the new seasons of The X Files at the start. I still am dubious now that I’m watching them. But I’m glad they’re airing, because they’ve helped me put my finger on something that was nagging at my brain during my rewatch. Something I couldn’t quite…
Hey there, 16-year-old self! Hey, 31-year-old self! You probably didn’t expect this back in 2001, but The X Files is back! With a six-episode miniseries. No way! Do Mulder and Scully finally make out? Just kidding, I’m way too embarrassed to admit that’s one of the main reasons I love…
So I was gearing up to write about The X Files revival (short version: I think it’s a lot of fun, minus the -isms and -phobias that shamefully pop up on– and offscreen), and then the second episode made me realize that’s not what stuck with me at all. Without spoiling XF…

So there I was, happily returning home from two weeks off-the-network at the cottage, when my boyfriend dropped a break-up bombshell. Uh, not our break-up. We’re still together. No, it’s worse than that. Mulder and Scully are no longer a couple.
When I was thirteen, there was a group of people on the Internet who were completely, objectively incorrect.
Happy Pesach! Did you hear? The X Files, everyone’s favourite ’90s paranormal procedural, is hauling back David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Mulder and Scully for a six-episode miniseries. The show’s creator, Chris Carter, is on board! He’s had thirteen years to think about it! Whee! (Best finding-the-afikoman-prize ever!) There…
I finally finished re-watching The X Files season 1-7 on DVD, and I am gonna go out on a limb and say: this blog entry recommended mainly for people who also actually watched The X Files. No overall writing ideas to take home here, I’m afraid — just goofy nostalgic…
