    The Punishing Animal by B. Pladek is set in a Canadian wilderness park and refugee camp. The story is set in the near future following an American civil war. Just like in real-life, present day Canada, being sent to Regina is a sort of punishment. lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction #Ontario #regina #sciencefiction

  3. I forgot to mention: if you're in the #YQR / Regina area, tomorrow (Saturday 8 August 2026) is the #Regina Repair Cafe for this month. It's at the Victoria Square Mall, so lots of parking. It runs 10am - 4pm.

    If you have stuff that is not working or broken, there's a good chance one of us volunteers can fix it for you. And it's free! We help keep stuff from ending up in the landfill before its time, and save you the expense of having to replace it.

    And yes, we fix stuff you can't get fixed "professionally" because no one fixes small appliances and whatnot any more, because everyone says "Just buy a new one, it's cheaper". Not everyone can afford to "just" replace stuff, and there's the whole environment thing.

    I guess we're adding a fourth "R" to the circle of life: reduce, re-use, repair, recycle.

    I'm just a volunteer, not an organizer or official publicist or anything like that. But come down and say "Hi".

  7. Great. I just got a "high water use!" notification from my city utility. It seems to think I used roughly two thousand liters of water between 1am and 8am Saturday. Other than a couple of toilet flushes in the night, there shouldn't have been anything using water in that time. I don't believe the water softener did a recharge cycle in that time.

    The icons on the meter are also blinking back and forth between "leak" and "high forward flow" and "back flow" even though the usage number isn't moving at all.

    We had work done on water pipes in our neighbourhood in the last week, resulting in sediment and lots of air in the pipes. I guess I have to contact the city to figure out if that could be making the meter go screwy.

  9. The next #Regina Repair Cafe is tomorrow! Boy, time flies. It seems like just a month ago that we did the last one.

    This one is at the Victoria Square mall. It runs from 10am to 4pm as usual. Advance bookings of repair appointments have closed, but they do take walk-ins when time and volunteers are available - I've never seen a walk-in turned away. For some reason, lots of people book appointments and then don't show up, so there's a fair bit of time freed up from that.

    I'm just a volunteer, not an organizer. If you have electronics, small appliances, tools or "general repairs" that could use a (free!) look-at, diagnosis, and possible repair, come down and see me. That's my usual remit.

    Virtually anything else can also be looked at; there are many volunteers covering every possible category from bicycle fixes to repairing garments to tuning up guitars.

    Helping to keep stuff in the hands of people that use it, rather than it ending up in the landfill for want of a small repair, is rewarding for me.
