Yesterday, it was interesting to watch the tall garlic plants follow the sun across the yard until at last their lean looked as if their green arms were all reaching west.

150 years ago, on April 12, 1876, the #IndianAct was introduced in Canada. Not a happy Anniversary, but one that needs remembering as it is still as impactful now as then, only in different ways.

The new work of autofiction Growing My Way Home by award-winning Sḵwx̱wú7mesh author @raveonstudio.bsky.social is here! Growing My Way Home traces Ashton’s experiences as a thirteen-year-old drug dealer, a fifteen-year-old parent, and finally an author and artist. talonbooks.com/books/growin...

A spread of copies of Growing my Way Home by Jenn Ashton.

On the cover: the top third and bottom fifth are solid light tan panel. The top, in a serif font, bears the title "Growing" in Green and on the next line in burgundy "My Way Home". The subtitle is "Stories of "Resilience and Care"

Then middle is a lovely painting with collage-esque effects of a greenhouse, trees to the left, pinecone, legs, flowers, and a house.

The bottom reads "Jenn Ashton"

Pope Francis leaves behind a legacy of compassion, courage, and a continuing call to protect our common home and all who share it with us. In his 2023 exhortation, Laudato Deum, he spoke out strongly against those who reject what science tells us about climate and deny their own responsibility. 🧵

If you want to read a new book coming out but don't want to buy it, a great thing you can do is ask your local library to order it. The more requests they get, the more likely they are to acquire it and then lots of people will get to read it who othewise wouldn't.
