Enjoying the art of #DenisonAvenue in the park. Every bit of this book reminds me of my grandmother. Both had a very similar unspoken sadness behind their quiet pride, & both had a hell of a lot of resilience. I didn't ugly cry, but I was touch & go a few times. #immigrantstories #fiction #booksky

I'm 30 pages in and I'm feeling emotional already 🥹 Did not expect to be hit in the feels so hard this morning, just wanted a little calm before the work madness began. Goal: make it through the book without weeping 🤣 #DenisonAvenue #booksky #booksandbrews #booksandcoffee #immigrantstories

Happening tonight, 7-9pm EST (online)!

News you can use. From Scientific American mag, of all things!

OPINION: Ontario's Bill 5 has cast Indigenous consultation as a barrier to development in the Ring of Fire, but the Crown’s reluctance to consult agreeably and a history of broken promises is what’s really keeping shovels out of the ground. thenarwhal.ca/opinion-bill...

First Nations promise "a long and very unnecessary fight" over Ontario government's attempt to accelerate Ring of Fire development and limit endangered species protections under Bill 5. VIA @fatimabsyed.bsky.social: thenarwhal.ca/ontario-bill...

There are days when the grief has lightened, but then there are days when it comes like an unexpected, heavy storm. Like today. But all you can do, really, is to just take it day by day.

“Facing pressure to scrub its website of diversity and inclusion references, a Japanese American National Museum leader says the museum will ‘scrub nothing.’” 🔥

Helping a sick family member over months or years can be an enormous strain. It can also disrupt your identity. Psychologists say embracing this change can open up new ways for caregivers to cope.

Thank you CBC Books for including DENISON AVENUE @ecwpress.bsky.social on this list! @danielinnes.bsky.social and I are in such good company!☺️ www.cbc.ca/books/canada...

Congrats Claire!❤️ Looking forward to reading it!

In case you haven't yet watched it, 'Your Tomorrow' is now streaming online via TVO! Very proud of my partner who co-wrote the soundtrack with Joseph Shabason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGP4...

All of these phrases dilute and misrepresent the mass incarceration of Japanese Americans. There was no “evacuation” — they were arrested without cause and their businesses, homes, and land was seized. It’s not “people of Japanese descent” — 2/3 of them were American citizens. Please be specific!

If you’re a journalist writing about Japanese American concentration camps — or just a person discussing their connection to the present day — I implore you to not use “internment,” “relocation,” “assembly centers” etc. Denshō has a useful guide on specific phrases. densho.org/terminology/

I usually push my latest, Stroll, but Frontier City is a book about Canadian politics. Why the Ford’s found purchase in Toronto. Book was largely ignored cuz it’s Toronto but it’s a Cdn populism story (Ford’s don’t stop). Grateful if you considered it. 2.5yrs work. spacingstore.ca/products/fro...

Thank you to all the readers for borrowing DENISON AVENUE!🥰 @danielinnes.bsky.social

Thank you! ❤️ It was such an honour for me to narrate DENISON AVENUE. And an even more incredible honour for @danielinnes.bsky.social and I to be given the opportunity from @ecwpress.bsky.social and CNIB to create an accessible audiobook. You can read more about that here: apln.ca/how-ecw-pres...

I’m only a few chapters into the audiobook of @itscmwong.bsky.social’s “Denison Avenue” and it’s already the most beautifully performed book I’ve ever listened to. It’s on sale on @libro.fm and probably through your library on @libbyapp.bsky.social Listen to it! I’m a librarian!!

@shawnmicallef.bsky.social I think you might like this book!😊

Thank you so much Su Chang for including DENISON AVENUE (@ecwpress.bsky.social) on this list! An absolute honour for @danielinnes.bsky.social and I to be amongst these writers.

I did that too and I loved it! Listening added so much but so did seeing the words on the page. A book that’s best experienced both ways.

Thank you! ❤️ FYI @danielinnes.bsky.social! 🥰

Oh, Ontario. 😩
