CBC Books: Nalo Hopkinson wins 2025 Sunburst Award #CanLit #SpecFic www.cbc.ca/books/nalo-h...

My husband sent me this link last night. I've said the same before. Yet I can't shake the deeply ingrained "rule" that creators, especially indie authors, must maintain a social media presence. Perhaps. But no more chasing algorithms for me. www.carolinecrampton.com/im-done-with...

The author of The Secret Garden didn’t think of herself as a children’s writer. What she did think about and the subjects of the other 50 books she wrote are surprising open.substack.com/pub/lilianna... #booksky #childrensclassics #womenwriters

Feels like the 🇺🇲 government is trying to erase us. So I just made a small donation to the Internet Archive, the world's largest digital library and home of the Wayback Machine. If you think you'd feel better if you did the same, join me.

You heard ‘em - time to use the Senate phone lines as therapy

I'm going to continue to share book and art news during these difficult times: firstly, because we still need stories and beauty to feed our souls and keep on going; secondly, because U.S. colleagues in the Arts still need to keep working even during a constitutional crisis. They need our support.

in light of all the #tariff hubbub, here's a list of amazing Canadian presses - all publishing fabulous poetry and prose by Canadian authors!: go.bsky.app/ToQvsHU

Le Guin was asked what gave her hope for the future. She answered, “The age, and the vastness, and the vast complexity of the earth and all its creatures. No matter how we try to cut it down to our size, we’ll fail; and in our failure lies our hope.” lithub.com/the-way-of-w...

Sneak peek from Issue 43 of Send My Love to Anyone--a poem from @dalockhart.bsky.social's new poetry collection Commonwealth (Kegedonce Press!) sendmylovetoanyone.substack.com/p/nations-an...

A thousand years before Virginia Woolf, Li Qingzhao(1084 – ca. 1155) already had her own 'room to write'. When most Song Dynasty women were confined to domestic life, she managed her own library of 4,000 books, wrote about war and politics. As the greatest female #poet in Chinese history, 1/2 #poem

Just a reminder that the crime fiction novels at reboundpress.com are not just written in Canada, but are also produced here. When you buy a book from reboundpress.com you're not just supporting the CDN authors but the Victoria typesetter, Edmonton graphic designer and Burlington printer.

While putting together this 1990s-style links page, I'm struck by how few activist orgs websites are built like blogs with constant updates about what's going on/calls to action. They've almost all ceded their news to their social media. Something that needs to change in 2025, imo. gregpak.link

I deleted Instagram. Can we post photos here?

Kindness is resistance. It does more than raging.
