There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.

The Supreme Court has stated that Canadians have a Charter right to strike, and the Premier of Alberta just nullified that in order to end a teacher's strike that is entirely her fault.
She's such a coward that she walked out of #ableg as soon as she tabled the bill. #abpoli #cdnpoli

It is weird to live in a time when the people I know who tend to speak the loudest and most often about how companies always seem to be ripping them off or do a bad job will turn around and say sincerely that governments should be run more like companies.

Oh, hell no! Rich people can do what they want with their own money, but that entitlement ends when it's public money. Canada has a federally funded literary prize already--any money the Giller organization is asking for can go DIRECTLY to the Governor General's Literary Awards, thank you very much.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Very much enjoyed this graphic novel memoir, All Our Ordinary Stories: A Multigenerational Family Odyssey, by @teresawong.bsky.social
The brushstroke ink painting moments were really moving
We read the Joy Luck Club for our book club because of this book
So well done, worth checking out

I've been thinking a lot about comics lately and the craft and calling of making them. So I wrote myself a comics manifesto. Please comment, share, steal, or disregard.
