I know everyone is excited about Murderbot but I just have to throw a shout-out to the Books of Raksura by @marthawells.com
Just finished book 1 and it was really great. Like keeping me from sleeping great.

This whole thread….
Right now, for a lot of Canadians the temptation is to ignore Indigenous people because the threats from the US seem way more important. This turn to fervent and ignorant nationalism is a mistake. Don't alienate the people who know more about your "country" than you do. Find common cause instead.

The hush of winter lingers but
Candle flames flicker like the first whispers of spring, banishing winter’s hush.
Milk, white, rich, and sacred, flows in tribute to life stirring beneath the frost.

I had to go back and doublecheck I hadn’t already shared the article, before resharing this with daanis’ thoughts included….
Kelly is always interesting, her analysis worth considering, this piece is no exception. Mangione as a floating signifier, somebody whose action isn't necessarily something we would condone but something that has various meanings depending on who you are.

When I joined bluesky, one of the first accounts I went looking for, hoping to find their presence here, was this one.
Their writing and thinking always pushes me out of my comfort zone in the best possible way.

In the stories of Nanabush, he has three brothers. One becomes a friend, the other two are killed by his own hand. What do these stories teach us about how to respond to an unjust world without losing our hearts in the process?

Beautiful list of local independent bookstores (and maps!)….
Remember that even if they don’t have the book you want on the shelf, they can order it in for you.

I live in Ottawa. I buy all my books from the handful of independent bookstores still found in our neighbourhoods across the city.
La librairie du soleil.
Perfect Books.
Books on Beechwood.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.
They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.
Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .
Thank you.
