We talk about relationality and kinship as it they are universal goods, but we are all in relationship. That's a given. What kind of relatives are we trying to be? Interested in being. 'cause as Daniel says, it's easy to call somebody family and still screw 'em over open.spotify.com/episode/6BpZ...

“For me, it’s not just about a book — it’s an attempt to make our voice and our suffering heard. If we succeed in publishing the book, it might give me a chance to survive and leave Gaza. And if not, then at least, if they kill me, I will remain.” #BookSky 🧪 news.chanda.science/archive/gaza...

Jesus H. Christ, this is a lot of a lot of a lot of a lot.

"Since the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, doctors and medical students across Canada have been suspended, disciplined, doxxed and surveilled for signing petitions and posting pro-Palestine content on social media." Excellent work from @brishti.bsky.social as always.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

If you're in Niagara and you missed the book launch last week, I'll be at the Lincoln Public Library on September 29th from 6:30 - 7:30. Read a little, answer some questions, it will be fun! I love libraries and am always happy to show up at one. lppl.ca/event/author...

Bad Indians Book Club gets a nice mention as one of two books out last week (published on the 19th) that you should read! Heck yeah. Also that other book Fiend, by Alma Katsu looks excellent so imma get that bookriot.com/most-read-bo...

I need to get that t-shirt looooool Maybe some stickers too

I have been asked to share my theory about Jesus and "the Pharisees." I have a very specific one. I'm doing so. But it's gonna take three posts to do it properly, and will involve a lot of comparing Gospel passages to Rabbinic texts. Part One dropped today: www.lifeisasacredtext.com/pharisees/

Excerpt from Bad Indians Book Club published by Baptist News. Coincidentally the reading I gave at the Toronto book launch because it gets at who Bad Indians are and why the things we read, write, or think matter. baptistnews.com/article/bad-...

My friends. It's my birthday. Donating to Motaz would be great gift.

And we don't go on their podcasts either.

And not a single word about the rally taking place outside, which many delegates joined.

At another book talk this week (good week!) hosted by the wonderful @anotherstoryto.bsky.social with Patty Krawec @daanis.ca and panel (Seán Carson Kinsella and Joy Henderson).

🚨 Urgent Appeal 🚨 After two years of war and devastation, we are once again facing genocide, death, and hunger. 💔 My family is trapped in this nightmare… we have no one but you. Please don’t look away. 📢 Donate and share our story. gofund.me/d14cbe76

Can't believe there are still people on this app campaigning for these idiots

This is my new account after I lost the previous one ‼️ We’re living in very difficult conditions! Prices are still high, and we rely on your donations to survive. I can’t feed my daughter without your support 😭😭 This link is our only source of hope gofund.me/d07c622c ✅ @mommunism.bsky.social 🙏💔

Motaz is not just helping his own family but also parents and others

What are your best strategies when your executive function is below ground? I watched Kill Bill 1&2 yesterday, worked on a puzzle. All of that was awesome and helped with the anxiety, but I have things to do and the squirrels in my brain are not cooperative.

As ICE storms Chicagoland, Chicago’s organizers speak. Stacy Davis Gates, Benji Hart, Arti Walker-Peddakotla, Ric Wilson, and others discuss ongoing ICE raids, Trump’s threats to send in the National Guard, and the solidarity we need to survive these times. Audio + transcript:

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

When I read "plutonomy" I think about Pluto that had its status as a planet revoked and I think that capitalism in general, and the US in particular, should be revoked so this makes sense to me.

love Independent bookstores and appreciate having them at or co-sponsoring all three of my launches in St. Catharines (Someday Books), @anotherstoryto.bsky.social in Toronto (Sep 19) and @massybooks.bsky.social in Vancouver (Oct 2)

Krawec's Bad Indians Book Club reminds us that books aren’t neutral. Reading with intention becomes an act of resistance and one that asks us to pay attention to silences and center the voices pushed to the margins. redpopnews.com/the-power-of...

Bad Indians Book Club by Patty Krawec isn’t just a collection of book reviews, it’s a powerful weaving of story, memory, critique, and myth. Krawec shows how books are never neutral; they shape worlds, challenge silences, and invite us to read with intention. redpopnews.com/the-power-of...

@broadleafbooks.bsky.social brought this taking-back control of the narrative by Patty Krawec this week. It never went down easier. BAD INDIANS BOOK CLUB: Reading at the Edge of a Thousand Worlds #Booksky expendablemudge.blogspot.com/2025/09/bad-...

This book sounds amazing

"Krawec challenges us to read with intention, to notice the silences, and to bring the stories pushed to the margins back into the center. Her work reminds us that stories aren’t just inherited, they’re chosen, shaped, and lingered in until we’re ready to step forward."

I didn't know that Little Golden Books published horror for children but this one looks pretty good.

I love this about Coates. I often say that when people listen to Medicine for the Resistance or the Bad Indians Book Club podcasts they are hearing us learn and shift in real time. We should do that. Writers just have to do it in front of everyone and that's harder.

This is the way

I’m not letting go of the fact he fired the amazingly capable Pakistani woman for being a diversity hire only to become the scapegoat for the failed administration

This is a wonderful reflection, and not just because I'm biased myself but because she gets at things about Bad Indians Book Club that others are not. Perhaps because of her own bias, because it is about relationships as much as it is about books. redpopnews.com/the-power-of...

The best we can do is look honestly at the relationships that exist between us and what kind of action those relationships call us to.” From “Bad Indians Book Club” by @daanis.ca

ALWAYS READ @daanis.ca

I read Bad Indians Book Club (a few weeks ago, as my preorder came in early) and I highly recommend it!

Get this book! Get all the books! You won't regret it.

#TRUTH "All of our stories contain movement and the friction that comes with that... the stories changing as needed because the people are more important than clinging to terminal creeds born in another place." www.thousandworlds.ca/mashkiki-par... Follow @daanis.ca for more!

Happy book launch day, patty! I got mine, grab yours. Those independents have it! #yyc

Coates nails it with the Lost Cause analogy. "The rewriting and the ignoring were done not just by Confederates, but also by putative allies for whom the reduction of Black people to serfdom was the unfortunate price of white unity."

Well happy Book Launch Day to me! Check out this great rec from @bookriot.bsky.social Get you a copy of Bad Indians Book Club: Reading at the Edge of a Thousand Worlds and start your own reading group with the intention of reading radically The world needs changing bookriot.com/new-books-se...

We’re living through humanitarian catastrophe😭 My daughter went through very difficult condition yesterday and didn’t stop crying for a moment! She’s too young to endure this suffering fear, hunger, illness, and displacement😩 Save us from a slow death🙏 gofund.me/c7ac8bf45 @mommunism.bsky.social

omg, what's going on. is that a BOX OF BOOKS?!!!! Yes it is. Only two more sleeps until release day. #booksky #BadIndiansBookClub #Indigenous

The big reason I'm trying to hammer "civil conflict/political violence" here is because I've spent a substantial chunk of the last five years looking at mass graves. I want a society where people aren't plotting to kill their neighbors and throw them into one. That's where all this can lead.

I'm seeing some people post this and not realize this is PART of the radicalization. Building an audience from reasonable sounding videos and converting them into the pipeline. Weiss is doing this now as I get The Free Press ads about things like "low tech parenting" and workout fads.

This is a stepping stone to declaring people non-citizens for the purposes of … well history says putting them in camps and sometimes actively exterminating them
