In many countries including Australia, NZ, the UK & Canada, authors also get paid regularly for library use of their books. It’s called the Public Lending Right scheme here, though it has several names globally. It doesn’t exist in the USA, so their authors do miss out on that compensation, alas.

We won. 🇨🇦 And no we don’t want America as an eleventh province or another territory. #CanadaStrong

Vance calls Zelenskyy "disgraceful" for pushing back on Trump's claim that Ukraine started the war. If Trump tells you that night is day, you'd better echo him or you will pay. America is now a predator nation. thenationalpulse.com/2025/02/19/e...

An important point to keep in mind.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

I recall my parents making sure I wore little Canadian flag pins when I traveled overseas, so I was not mistaken for an American citizen. Whoever makes those will be doing a roaring trade now. #Canada

If the international community doesn’t band together now to stand up to Elonald’s USA we all know what happens next.

“Governor Trudeau” Like the lawless authoritarianism, baseline norms of international affairs being broken on a daily basis now. Shameful.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

CANADA MP CHARLIE ANGUS, on US/Canada trade: “I think what’s really fascinating is: *nobody* in Canada is surprised. I mean, did anyone believe this guy, his word, could be trusted? He’s a criminal. He’s a convicted predator.” @acyn.bsky.social

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I hate to break to Trump but Two-Spirit (trans) people have existed here in North America for thousands of years. They predate the arrival of white people and their “Christianity.” Trans people will be here long after Trump is dead and gone.

Excited to be a researcher on this passion project as a late diagnosed neurodivergent woman with ADHD. It's been a privilege to interview women who shared their experiences and work with a team of neurodivergent researchers. This is a glimpse of our findings so far. news.csu.edu.au/latest-news/...
