Portage students protested unfair work permit denials. Then immigration enforcement came to their protest and issued 10 removal orders! Migrants have the right to protest without fear. I sent a letter demanding action. Send yours: migrantrights.ca/RightToProte... #DefendRightToProtest

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.

A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

There are a lot of other things that you can do to stop death camps from being constructed but this is a real-name account. I'm sure you can read accounts of WWII and dystopian fiction to find out what some of them are.

Book promo post. Background colours are alternating shades of orange and blue, with a distressed texture. Two books are featured: Invisible Line and Five Points on an Invisible Line, both written by Su J. Sokol. Invisible Line is split diagonally, with the opposite corners showing skyscapes of Montreal and the title at an angle between the two corners. Five points shows the same city views, but on the opposite corner than depicted on Invisible Line. A cyclist pedals through the centre of the book, through the title, which is again at a slant.
