I'd say the FP is doing pretty well considering our arts & life team has approx seven writers, one of which is part-time (me). Really upsetting to read this when we bust our guts to find and write the stories we do. Merry Christmas.

I mean we have one of the few remaining books sections in the country, featuring local reviewers and books. I reported on local writing all year, both in my section and in arts and life, including a roundup on 10 notable local books from 2025 (which could have easily been 20) running Monday. 🤷

Just checked our back-end stats and we published more than 1,000 local arts stories this year. Our landing page is full of current local arts stories.
This is inaccurate and, frankly, hurtful.

This whole thread, but especially this:
Making art is not all joy and fungus reanimated bunnies! That’s okay. That’s normal. That’s part of why art is important and also why artists and writers need to be paid for their work. If you keep dragging yourself back even when it’s hard, you’re doing fine.

It's a great story, and this is a fantastic anthology!
This is a really important anthology, and also includes a story by @kellyrobson.com about abolition (and burlesque) which I consulted on!
In bookstores today! It's "We Will Rise Again," a book of hard-won hope in this dark season. I co-edited it with the wondrous @older.bsky.social and @drkarenlord.bsky.social -- it's an anthology of speculative stories and essays about protest and resistance! www.simonandschuster.com/books/We-Wil...

For this billionaire to sit in his crusty ass fit to say he doesn't need caregivers when a nanny is probably taking care of his kid is WILD TO THE NTH DEGREE.

I second this, and I would add: borrow them from the library! If the book is unavailable when someone else requests it, it signals to the library that maybe it needs more copies! There are also royalties to authors for public lending rights, and that's not nothin'.
Reviews and also tell someone in your life who isn’t in online spaces about our books. So many people who read are not online reading reviews. Spread the word anyway you can, for free.
"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—"
Reviews.
Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.)
Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

It is a very sad and small life where you can't conceive that other people are different to you. It is also extremely unfortunate that people like this hold so much power.

“Large projects will rightly grab headlines as cranes rise across our skyline, but we shouldn’t overlook the vital and complementary role of the small convenience stores experiencing their own development boom.”
My column today: Ten new convenience stores opened this year in downtown Winnipeg. These seeds of urban renewal will support the success of several major projects in development, by helping to create a fine-grain and walkable neighbourhood around them. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...
