So excited to have my personal essay on my nenek’s black rice pudding — and grief and diaspora — in this issue of Maisonneuve (alongside amazing writers like @dorajprieto)! Many thanks to @madihaslam for working with me on such a personal piece 🥣
Our Fall 2022 Food Issue is online for subscribers! Writers learn their grandmothers' recipes and languages, wrestle with how we'll nourish ourselves as the climate changes, share family cooking practices, and recount their silliest food job memories <3 maisonneuve.org/issue/fall-2…

Had the most amazing time at Banff with this crew 💗
Farewell to the 2023 Literary Journalism crew at Banff. What a fantastic team of writers. Eight brilliant essays were crafted this month--and a few books took shape, too. 💜 @banffcentre @charlotte_gill @CarolShaben

Thinking about my nenek today — my mom and I spent hours making over 200 pineapple tarts, a Singaporean dessert she would always make for us. On this Mother’s Day, I wanted to re-share this recipe/personal essay/eulogy for my nenek from @maisonneuvemag: maisonneuve.org/article/2022…

Can video games enhance and enrich science education? Sofia and Olivia from @beyondblathers say "yes", and took the time to talk to the Root & STEM podcast about why. Check it out: ow.ly/ROEl50MrZXt #STEM #VideoGames #STEAM #podcast

My first ever short story is out now in @TheDodgeMag! Predictably, it's about whales 🐋
Replying to @TheDodgeMag
Everything inside her was pulled towards the air, craving the overwhelming smell of salt. The beach was calling to her, a siren’s song. —Sofia Osborne (@sofia_osborne), "The Glass Whale" thedodgemag.com/sofiaosborne…

I can't believe that @Liv_deBee and I have done 100 episodes of Beyond Blathers. We started the podcast in summer 2020, when playing Animal Crossing 24/7 was the only thing keeping us from complete pandemic despair, and seeing how much it has grown has been incredibly rewarding!
Our 100th episode is out now (!!!!) and we're talking about Blathers himself 😮 While no one seems to know exactly what kind of owl Blathers is, we decided to talk about the Eurasian Eagle Owl for this special episode! beyondblathers.buzzsprout.co… #ACNH #scicomm #ScienceTwitter

FROM THE GCL ARCHIVES: Canada’s first-ever experiment with a temporary whale sanctuary on the B.C. coast is an important tale of what it takes to — hopefully — bring a species back from the brink buff.ly/2NbJMoK (@thenarwhalca @sofia_osborne)
