Sending so much love and strength to all who are gathering to march and dance and sing and protest in peace. I’m in Nova Scotia, standing with you in solidarity, and making art inspired by resistance, hope and joy.

Very sad to see what’s happening at Indiana. The school has decided it wanted to muzzle its student newspaper to only print fluffy campus life stories in special sections. When they pushed back, the school cut all print funding and fired their staff director

My splendid translator in France, Mikael Cabon, asked me to support an urgent campaign, launching today, opposing AI being used instead of people. I do so willingly, and feel same on behalf of audiobook readers and bookworld artists. I hope readers worldwide will show their agreement.

Make plans to visit Pjila'si, now on view at the Museum of Natural History. More than just a gallery, it's an interactive space that celebrates Mi'kmaw culture. Come to engage, learn, and reflect on the knowledge, skills, and adaptability of the Mi'kmaw people throughout history and to this day.

For I am a salt hag. The tide turns my blood, calls me down difficult paths. Each descent to the omen shore a chance to fill my garnering bag. Each descent, a rising excitement at wave magics, a beach to be combed for fresh flotsam auguries. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky
