Alberta’s Bill 28 and its accompanying Library Act and Regulations changes mandate access restrictions affecting everyone; physically removing items from collections, requiring age checks, and granting provincial inspectors sweeping powers to police local library stacks. share.nwmd.social/s/qHl6AG7a

Well, the list of books being banned from EPSB is appalling. And it's very likely that an author on this list will get their other works pulled too, especially in the absence of teacher librarians. There are books on this list that changed my life. This is what the UCP is taking away from kids.

Happy rainy Caturday from Blizzard (the wizard)

Behind a green chair sits a grey and white cat, sitting on a ledge pulled out from an old desk so he enjoy the view from the window of a slowly greening spring. He is sitting on his haunches, looking at the camera with an expression of loving tolerance. Thanks for reading, I wish you a beautiful day filled with your favorite things.

Today, May 5, is Red Dress Day - the National Day of Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2Spirit People. A day of solemn remembrance and action to honor the missing and gone and to fight for justice and safety for our sisters and relatives. amnesty.ca/features/16-...

An illustration of an Indigenous woman holding a feather in front of a red handprint in a red and purple color scheme. By Tlingit artist Nick Alan Foote.

Screenshot of an article stating “Native women and girls are murdered at more than 10 times the national average. Among Native women victims of assault, an average of 63% describes the offender as non-Native. Among Native women victims of rape or sexual assault, an average of 67% describes the offender as non-Native. More than 4 in 5 (84.3%) of Indigenous women have experienced violence in their lifetime.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 940000: The senses are a way of connecting with your readership. Use them all. Don't forget scent, touch and taste as well as just sight and sound. Describing something ordinary via an unexpected sense can suddenly make it fresher and more interesting.
