Today's Ojibwe story is a love story. It's a love story like Twilight is a love story and by that I mean filled with power imbalance, deceit, and generally creepy behaviour.

The pain and suffering are alleviated by a simple request and a sad dream:to provide a $200 tent to protect us from freezing to death. I suffer from a heart valve prolapse, which is dangerous in the cold, and I have five kids😭

Minneapolis is headed towards something resembling a general strike, if you were wondering how the campaign to cow working people into quiescence is going
Last night, The Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59 signed on to the call for a Jan 23 shutdown. That brings total labor support to: the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28, and the MFE 59
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

absolutely bonkers the different ways that Canadian news media describes what is going on in Iran with what is happening in Minnesota. Every time I think "brave of them to be accurate like this" only to realize they're talking about Iran.

Reading multiple books at the same time creates all sorts of wonderful connections between them that you might otherwise not have caught. Another thing I do is read fiction written from the same community as the political theory I'm reading, particularly if I am unfamiliar with that community
In @strangehorizons.bsky.social 's Year in Review, Part 2, I tell you about what I thought was fun in 2025.
![Jacqueline Nyathi
Esperance cover223 books in 2025 (the year isn’t over), but I wasn’t on top of things, and blame the person who persuaded me it was ok to read more than one book at a time. I think, though, this in Bad Indians Book Club by Patty Krawec (still unfinished) vindicates me: “[L]ayering fiction with non-fiction, or setting conversational books alongside more academic material … [p]uts the books into conversation with each other, which leads to new ideas or ways of understanding the topics, other ways of reading and understanding familiar texts.”
I always gravitate toward hard SF but I enjoyed SFF in general (excellent collections from Thomas Ha, Vanessa Fogg, Carla E. Dash, Gareth Powell, two Blaft anthologies, the Nebula Awards Showcase 60, the Year’s Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction, Volume 2, and novels from JP Nebra and Jane Mondrup). In translated fiction, I recommend All That Dies in April by Mariana Travacio (tr. Samantha Schnee and Will Morningstar) and Río Muerto by Ricardo Silva Romero (tr. Victor Meadowcraft). I found non-fiction essay collections compelling (Jamaica Kincaid, Lavinia Greenlaw’s The Vast Extent, Trace Press’s River in an Ocean). Other favourite non-fiction: How to Kill a Witch by Zoe Venditozzi and Claire Mitchell (read it!), Decolonizing Language and Other Revolutionary Ideas by Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, The Two Princes of Mpfumo by Lindsay O’Neill, Moshtari Hilal’s Ugliness, Kate Loveman’s The Strange History of Samuel Pepys’s Diary, and Howard W. French’s The Second Emancipation. In African lit I loved Oyinkan Braithwaite’s Cursed Daughters, Adam Oyebanji’s Esperance, Will This Be A Problem? Issue V, Chido Muchemwa’s Who Will Bury You? And Other Stories, and enjoyed the ZamaShort series. And the book that made me cackle is Richard Martin’s I Inherited a Mixed Animal from Uncle Living in Woods.

Ok, seeing my book with Richard Wagamese-ba's work on either side of it is pretty amazing. And she does look like she wants to burn it all down to embers doesn't she.
Went to an actual, physical book store today!
And yes, I bought 2 (more) copies of Embers by Richard Wagamese… 1 for me, 1 to gift.
For the record, I’ve bought about 7 copies of this book now because I keep giving them away! ❤️

One reason I favor impeaching Noem is because it's a political process for a political problem. No, this will not stop ICE enforcement action but YES it would be an opportunity to educate the public about DHS & perhaps begin to lay a foundation for dismantling it.

My simple dream is a $200 tent to shelter my kids, Elif, Joan, Jude, Ahmed, and Jamil, and my wife who suffers from a heart valve condition. The rain and wind swept away our tent & flooded it. We urgently appeal to you before it's too late
