The McMichael Canadian Art gallery in Kleinburg has a gorgeous Indigenous art exhibit on right now until March 2026. A few pieces by Monkman, more than a few by Morrisseau, and many, many others including Inuit & Haida artists too. Plus, a beautiful short hike around the grounds await after the art.

This is really well done. slate.com/business/202...

Also one of my favourites this year. Highly recommended. Read now.

@drjengunter.bsky.social wrote about getting it a couple of years ago at 52. vajenda.substack.com/p/why-i-got-... so it is available. And my gynecologist here in Canada is willing to write me a prescription for it and I'm also over 45.

RIP Jane Goodall. I was fortunate to have heard her speak on two occasions. She was an inspiring force for optimism.

Tonight is missing focaccia content.

In honor of @scalzi.com's visit to our warehouse today, our fabulous production editor did a little photo shoot with two of her pet mice, Ivy and Nettle. We feel it's only right to give away a signed copy of WHEN THE MOON HITS YOUR EYE. Follow and reshares to enter! Int'l, ends 9-14 at noon ET!

After a tough competition flipping the vote back and forth all day, it’s a #PEROVSKITE WIN over #Calcite by just 203 votes. Amazing hustle everyone!

This is a really disingenuous take from Smith. I’ve read both the order and the list. Every book I’ve read in the list - about a third - falls afoul of the order. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... It’s a ridiculous order and I’m glad that’s being highlighted.

I really liked this a lot! It Was Her House First is a fabulous ghost story. Highly recommended!

COVER REVEAL! The cover for Silver & Blood is here, and it’s stunning!! 😍 Art by the incredible @luisapreissler.bsky.social! A desperate mage finds her fate intertwined with the handsome, mysterious man who saves her from a deadly beast. Preorder links: www.jessiemihalik.com/book/silver-...

Finally watched the last two episodes of Murderbot. So very good. For anyone who has not read the books - the title is not an obvious descriptor of the show!

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

I didn't know that forest fire smoke could block out the sun. These are pics from yesterday from the train, between Le Pas and Thompson, Manitoba. 1st pic is from 5:30 pm, 2nd pic is 6 pm. For perspective, sundown here is 11 pm. The lights on the 2nd photo are from the train's headlights.

This is a great article. Tech billionaires loving the Culture shows such a shallow reading and complete ignorance or disregard of the actual themes. It’s bizarre.

Thanks to @subpress.bsky.social for letting me know of The Adventures of Mary Darling! Which led me to this post making me move it to the top of my tbr.

If you’ve never seen it, Know I’m Here can be played at this link: vimeo.com/268498404 It’s a documentary of the mural festival in Churchill in 2017 and covers when the rail line went down.

I’m at the Liberal party party in my riding. Peopled out so sitting at a table in the corner. Though I am wearing my version of red pants of righteous rage. Food is very good!

Best wishes and many thanks to all of the political candidates, politicos, poll workers, journalists and pollsters who help make our democracy work. #elxn45 #cdnpoli

I really enjoyed this interview with Carney: youtu.be/V11qNDDElZw?...

A film that takes place where you’re from.

In addition to listening to this, it is well worth reading On Tyranny. It’s a short book that expands on the summaries with examples. The Winnipeg Public Library even has a graphic version!

And lo, the trailer did drop: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2... #murderbot

She’s a great voice for women.

Great article looking at Canada’s role in foreign aid. I haven’t been paying much attention to it lately - I need to change that.

What does it mean for a book to be fully Canadian-made? LPG publishers are committed to keeping Canadian stories, talent, and production close to home, checking all the boxes.

Very nice profile on Anne Mulaire! Highly recommended for anyone looking for made in Canada women’s clothing. I think I bought my first pieces 18 years ago. I remember open houses in her parents’ basement! Local, sustainable, ‘unique and strong’ www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/202...

This is brilliant. A declassified World War II guide for citizen saboteurs on how to fight fascism is going viral www.404media.co/declassified...

Heat from the radiator and the sun! #caturday

I think it is less “taunted” and more “threatened” by the 51st state rhetoric.

Warbler season is coming! 2020 was a weird year for lots of reasons, but that year my yard(!) was brimming with these colorful migrants. Hasn't been the same since then, but it made for a nice treat that year. #WarblerWednesday Canada, Black-throated Blue, Black and White, and Yellow Warblers

"We will defend our country and we will defend it together." -PM Mark Carney Canada will continue to treat the US aggression as US aggression against our nation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zjxe...

If the US does ever invade and I have to form a resistance cell, our password will be "Oh, I wish I were--" because all the Canadians will instinctively reply "IN SHERBROOKE NOW!" while the Americans will all reply "an Oscar Mayer wiener" and we'll know who the spies are

I miss the subtlety of comic-book villains

I love this.

Did the word get overused or has there just been a lot of fascism going on

The more things change…

This is the best articulation of the anger Canadians have right now that I’ve seen.

These are good and important questions. We must not leave values of inclusion and reconciliation behind, but continue to build.

Happy #Caturday! Profile of the next generation - I'm so happy with how this portrait of the lynx kitten turned out. I managed to catch a couple of photos of him as he walked by the back of the car the other evening following, Mom. 🦊🌿

I just found a bumblebee curled up asleep in one of the crocus blooms in our garden! 😍🥹🥰 I’ve found many sleeping bees over the years, but never one quite so snug. This is why I grow flowers. Not only are they beautiful, they are sustenance and shelter for our wild neighbors.

Life lessons - there is always new trash.
