Destany Pete researched an Indigenous chokecherry recipe and achieved promising “in vitro” results on cancer cells. Her science project gained international recognition for combining traditional knowledge with modern laboratory experimentation.

Today's #StetWalk was climbing at the gym. Since that isn't very photogenic, here are some pics from Monday's stet walk.

AS : Le principal impact des lois laïques de la #CAQ est de créer des situations de misogynie discriminatoires institutionnalisées par l’état. Un retour en arrière honteux. Et à la #CAQ, ont ouvre toutes les communications par « Fier de … » Loin d’être fier, j’ai honte, tellement honte .

Rima does a great job showing how utterly ridiculous Bill 94 is. « Dans quelle situation absurde sera plongée une bénévole qui est aussi enseignante à l’école de son enfant bénéficiant d’une clause de droits acquis comme employée, mais pas comme bénévole ? » www.lapresse.ca/actualites/c...

If you’re...wondering why everything feels harder than it used to…it’s not in your head. The industry has genuinely shifted, and the advice still circulating online hasn’t caught up to what’s actually happening. Some insights #Writers on #Submission: vickyweberbooks.substack.com/p/what-nobod...

Today's #StetWalk ☀️

A whooping cough outbreak in an elementary school down the road. Meanwhile I finally got around to reading Candle In the Dark and only a few pages in, you get to its eerily prescient passage. Sigh.

Montreal artist Laurence Petit, aka La fée des trottoirs just visited Saint-Henri and left a tiny work of sidewalk art behind. ❤️

Parallelism: Editors obsess over it, writers seem to barely notice it. But when it's off, readers feel it. This post covers when to use it—and when breaking the pattern makes your writing stronger. zurl.co/3kg84 #WritingTips #GrammarTips #AmEditing

Well, I'm missing the sunny spring weather we've had the last while. But an overcast day with a strong cup of tea can be perfect for some deep focus, so I'm making the best of it. #AmEditing #LunchTime

How are activists creatively engaging with data in challenging authoritarianism? Our book launch webinar, happening tomorrow, 1:30pm (EDT), will feature activists doing some great work on this. Check it out!

Finished reading And Then She Fell by Alicia Elliot on the weekend, and it was so good, so unsettling, and so moving! Highly recommended! 💙📚🖋️📚🩸 app.thestorygraph.com/books/80d321...

“The therapeutic use of books, known as bibliotherapy, is supported by clinical guidelines. The Canadian Network for Mood and Anxiety Treatments recommends books as a supportive, second-line treatment for certain mild to moderate emotional difficulties.” 💙📚💬 theconversation.com/is-reading-y...

The toads are singing in my parents’ pond, and the tadpoles will be hatching in about 3 weeks. Spring has arrived! 🙌 #SignsOfSpring

So Kindle is removing tech support from its device, pretty much requiring people to buy new ones, and introducing ads. This is why we sell our ReBound press books on Kobo. Also for ideological reasons: Amazon has been terribly destructive too booksellers and publishers, and I refuse to support it.

So far I’m really enjoying Black Butterflies by Priscilla Morris. Still deciding how I feel about stories being classified as historical fiction when they’re set during my lifetime. I guess I’m historical now? 😅 ⏳📚💙📚🖋️

'Do the names we give to our feelings make certain feelings possible?' A beautiful article 🧡 #writers #amwriting #writingcommunity lithub.com/lisa-lee-on-...

The answer, it will not surprise you, is mostly "have a wife and servants"

White Cat, Black Dog by Kelly Link was fantastic, and it made me want to read The Doll’s Alphabet by Camilla Grudova again. Both are fabulously surreal. What delightfully bizarre short story collection would you recommend for me next? 🖋️📚💙📚🪐📚💬 app.thestorygraph.com/books/484b62...

Sometimes I buy a book even though I won't have time to read it because I want to make a tiny vote for, "Yes. I want this. I'll pay money for this. Please put more of this in the world." #books #reading #booksky

"The easiest reading is damned hard writing." (Thomas Hood) When I read a book that feels effortless to read, I think of the labour that made it feel that way. It may have taken hundreds of hours to write, and as many to edit. Both are invisible crafts. #nonfiction #writing #writerslife #Booksky

There are some days the grief, loss, unrequited love of Edgar Allan Poe's speak to me. Then there are other days where his overwhelming desire to bury enemies in the cellar while being terrified of a random bird speak louder.

Je viens de lire Tiohtià:ke par Michel Jean. Je veux, un jour, écrire plus de mes pensées sur ce roman, mais pour le moment je vais juste le recommander. 💙📚🖋️ app.thestorygraph.com/books/1a377d...

I saw my husband at his desk with his head in his hands & I thought something was really wrong. I went over to ask him if he was OK & he said, “I’m fine. there’s just not enough time to read all the books I want to read.”

Congratulations on this glowing review, Chris! 🙌 "This book is itself a tool, exemplifying movement-relevant theory by providing usable examples of different struggles. Any activist will be better off having this in their tool belt." More will follow soon, I'm sure! btlbooks.com/book/mobiliz...

I'm reading 2 library books to a deadline, switching between the ebook & the audiobook, depending on whether my hands are busy or not. Curiously, certain landscapes and devices appear in both works, so that the stories are starting to feel as if they inhabit a shared world. Enjoying both so far!🪐📚💙

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language? Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries. So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together. zenodot.app

My current read. THE BOOK TOUR by my friend EMILY OHANJANIANS. It's her debut! #romance #Canadian #diverse

Are you looking for a freelance romance editor? I have more than 15 years of in-house experience (at Carina Press/Carina Adores/Harlequin) and I’d love to work with you! Now booking devs and assessments for March/early April—after that, the next available spot is July. DM with questions!

All hands on deck, folks. This will effectively eliminate all books by queer authors and about queer lives, even books with secondary characters, books where the author or a character uses they/them pronouns. This bill will erase identities and harm kids. And it won't stop at public schools.

I’ve been saving @dominiquefilsaime.bsky.social’s latest album until I had an hour I could dedicate to a proper listen. And I can now confirm that it, like everything else she’s recorded, is just phenomenal! #amListening #music 🎧🎶🙌

I just love visiting the botanical gardens in winter. The smell of soil and the tropical air in my lungs are so restorative! #WinterHacks #Botany #Plants

This is delightful. Also, for readers of An Apprentice to Elves and related books by @pennyvixen.bsky.social and me, there's an Aelfgifu in the third act. :D (I start having to look up vocabulary in the 1200s but apparently the Anglo-Saxon course I took 35 years ago has stuck, a little.)

What timing! I just finished my reread of Frankenstein, and my hold of @alixeharrow.bsky.social's The Everlasting has come in at the library. I've heard good things about this one! #amReading 💙📚💬

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
