#Reading today: THINGS BECOME OTHER THINGS by @craigmod.com. As the subtitle indicates, this text is a #walking #memoir, and so much more. Travel writing, personal essay, and cross-cultural storytelling. Stunningly beautiful—sip, don't gulp this one.

#Reading today: 50 Things Kate Bush Taught Me About the Multiverse by Karyna McGlynn. The title drew me in, but the poetry kept me reading. Wow! Smart and powerful—this is exactly the book I hoped it would be.

#Copyright must be an #election issue in 2025. @accesscopyright.bsky.social observes, "Canada's creative sector does not have the legislative & regulatory tools to meet current challenges and seize emerging opportunities."

Ask parties what they will do about Canada's badly broken Copyright Act.
Black text on a blue background reads, "Repairing Canada's Copyright Act by clarifying existing fair dealing exceptions, including for education, will ensure that Canadian creators and publishers are fairly compensated for the use of their published works."
