Am looking forward to the Saskatchewan Festival of Words in July and seeing Jael Ealey Richardson, Waubgeshig Rice, David A. Robertson, and S. Bear Bergman!

Please boost & share. This is not ok

Probably the messiest but also funnest novel edits I’ve ever done.

We are literally giving up all of our civil liberties and descending into an authoritarian state in order to ensure that we keep supporting a foreign government's genocide. I must be losing my mind.

517 academics have signed this open letter. That is a sign of the level of disgust in my community over the actions of Ed McCauley and Bill Flanagan docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

THE BLACK DRUM is one of the bestselling musical scripts on Amazon! I’m not a bestseller very often, so I’m enjoying it while it lasts.😁

Canada does not accept the premise of the genocide case brought by South Africa because Canada’s model of colonial confinement of Indigenous peoples through reserve & pass system was adopted by apartheid SA and later imported by Israel.

Canada & Israel are partners in genocide.

AHHH SHE’S AN ANGEL

So much for U Calgary being a bastion of free speech. Despicable violence by the Calgary Police last night at the UofC solidarity encampment with Gaza.

All solidarity with UofC students and community members standing up for Palestine amidst brutal repression.

#FreePalestine

Israel has dropped almost 75,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 200 days, twenty times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war.

The world's 200 bloodiest days since the Rwandan genocide. It’s not war. It’s genocide.

Pup is relaxing after coming to school with me this morning.

Save this. Because a time will come. What will you do with your power? What have you done with your power?

She was escorted out of a writers event on POLITICAL WRITING for saying this. I love and respect this woman immensely. Her poise and her courage.

RAISE YOUR VOICE.

'What did you do with your power?' Thank you for using yours, Kasigo Lesego Molope. You spoke for many of us writers in this intervention last night. Respect!

Here is why I got thrown out of Politics and the Pen / La politique et l’écrit last night. All I can say is: when we enter spaces of great POWER, please let us raise our VOICES

Hello! My name is Adam Pottle. I’m the writer of BUTTERFLY ON THE WIND. If you’d like to learn ASL but don’t know where to start, you can find the ASL ABCs in the back pages of the book.

Happy reading! 🤟🏼🦋

This whole event is horrid. Molope bravely spoke up about the death toll in Gaza and was escorted out, while the hosts, one of whom was notorious homophobe Jason Kenney, made racist jokes. Molope has more courage and integrity than anyone in that room could ever hope to have.

I said people were dying. I said children were dying of malnutrition. I got thrown out.
Politics and the Pen / La politique et l’écrit was short this year.

Jason Kenney and Kathleen Wynne doing some anti-Chinese racism as hosts of the Politics and the Pen Politics and the Pen / La politique et l’écrit awards and the audience laughs it up.
