🍁 Toronto Public Library (TPL) does not ban books, but instead defends intellectual freedom by declaring all of its 100 branches & online spaces as official Book Sanctuaries. We really take the TPL for granted. tpl.ca/about-the-li... #librarysky #TorontoPublicLibrary #Publiclibrary #BannedBookWeek

I was introduced to Maus and Persepolis in college, I'm glad they weren't banned in college. I loved reading comic books like Transmetropolian!

Oct 4th-10th #BannedBookWeek. Not officially banned but, I remember throughout school in the 80-90s #comicbooks weren't considered proper reading #books. #Dragonball #comics were banned from my classroom in the #90s. Demon King #Piccolo bothered a lot of parents XD #Canada #kidlit #anime #90s

Movie of the night is Felidae. (1994) Adult 90s cell animation from Germany. I haven't seen this in decades. This is NOT a children's animation. #movienight #Felidae #Germancinema #psychologicalthriller #catsky #90sretro #animation #adultanimation

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

US alcohol is gross. I live in Ontario and I wish we had inter provincial trade. I'd love to be able to chose wines from Quebec, Nova Scotia, Yukon and so on, on a whim.

I stopped working with a business coach today. Anyone who says 'You're probably not going to be successful with your 1st book, is an instant red flag.'Maybe I won't be. But this sort of discouragement while I'm working on a 1st draft is not welcome. #redflag #writerslife #writer #writersky #1stdraft

I used AI for fun when it 1st came out. Learnt about Prompting etc etc. So I tried it again, to see if it could help me figure out a long time issue I was having. Wrote an elaborate prompt. And, it hallucinated an answer. It slowed me down. #AI #writerslife #hallucinated #FuckAI
