Do you like books about liminal spaces, with lyrical prose? Books with heroines determined to rewrite their stories even if they have to throttle the narrative? How about sapphic books with lots of yearning, dark humor and lots of skeletons?

How about ALL the above in one book? 😈

This is also very very applicable to CanLit.
From Céline Dion to Drake, Canada has produced some music heavyweights. But between funding cuts, streaming loopholes, and pressure from the US, the future of Canadian music depends on how we show up now. Writer @touchofallright.bsky.social explores: thewalrus.ca/amid-buy-canadia...

LibroFM has a bunch of books discounted, BUT ALSO linking your account to an indie bookstore (either local or a long-distance relationshop) sends some of the sale their way instead of Bezzy Boy 🖤

also, ALL THE HEARTS YOU EAT is part of the sale. Ends Dec 2nd 🫀

oh hey, is your wallet open for Black Friday? While you're looking for deals, why don't you pay us FULL PRICE PLEASE 💸

Hey, if you're feeling thankful for all the bounty in your life right now, it's not a bad idea to toss some coin to trans people who are struggling. (I boosted two folks that I know personally just now, but there are so many, many others on here.)

Yeah I started writing at almost 50 and came out even older than that. Do the thing.
Fuck that noise, do it even if you're old. I learned tattooing at 43. I learned editing and publishing at 46.

There is always still time to do or learn new stuff.
I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

If anyone is looking to support a family run small business that makes art, calendars, and makes a lot of cool stuff, I highly recommend the Anderson Design group.
They have a 20% off sale running right now, and I LOVE their calendars. You can even build your own (and keep the art afterwards)

I spoke w/ Choctaw historian A.S. Dillingham about how the Thanksgiving myth helps the U.S. avoid reckoning w/ its own history.
“It’s not about rejecting gratitude — it’s about refusing to celebrate a falsehood.”

The Thanksgiving Myth Hides the US’s Inability to Reckon With Its Own History
“I’m not against giving thanks. I’m against celebrating a falsehood,” says Choctaw historian A. S. Dillingham.

Since there's nothing going on in Canada this weekend besides being inundated with Black Friday emails, I suggest you all pre-order my next book as a celebration of whatever you want, plus the fact that I didn't send you en email about it.

I keep thinking about all the talented, ethical journalists who have been out of work for ages and getting angry all over again
Because people are treating it like a juicy spectacle and not like a significant failure of journalism and a condemnation of the industry.
why is this in the NYT Cooking newsletter, of all places!!!!!

Charisma is a local trans artist, creator, bookseller and all around wonderful human. I've been so lucky to get to hang out with them, and I've gotten to admire their art and their incredible positivity.

They had to move a while back due to fuckery. Please give whatever you can!
Please share and donate if you can! Much much needed and appreciated ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I have started an urgent gfm for my partner and friend Charisma and Robin. Please consider supporting them as they face financial hardship and housing insecurity! gofund.me/21cc825a8
