So besides the event at the Merril Collection for the awesome Bakka-Phoenix bookstore, I actually came up here to visit the set of the Murderbot TV show and watch some filming. And it was a fabulous and inspiring experience!

A huge thank you to @marthawells.bsky.social, the lovely folks at the Merril Collection, and everyone who came out to our event with Martha Wells last night! Such a great evening.

Welcome, #TCAF folks! Come to Harbord St! You'll find books on psychology (our store!), SFF (our neighbours at @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social), fresh-baked snacks (Harbord Bakery & Almond Butterfly), top-notch coffee (Pedaal), cider flights (Her Father's Cider), crystals (The Rock Store), &c!

Gonna try to make a thread of places cartoonists coming to Toronto for #TCAF might be into. First off, of course are the connected Beguiling and Little Island comic shops. TCAF spawned from them. Go discover something new and unusual from their racks.
