Talk to people about your passion projects - listen to them talk about yours. Capitalism and scarcity mindsets constantly limit the boundaries of what we believe is possible, and it's so important reject boundary-making. You are world-making.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Y’all remember all the COVID funding that was funneled into police budgets? I do.

The nice thing about short stories is you don't have to commit - you can just read one of them at a time :D

Temporarily turning my office space into a chill out station for my kid's sleepover b-day party finally gave me the push I needed to FINISH cleaning this space up. It feels so much better now, and I knew it would, but getting the motivation was HARD.

I wrote it when my now 10-year old was a newborn hahahaha, now THAT is something I can't believe.

I'm so pumped to finally get it updated and expanded - I just had to quit my job to find time to do it lol.

Hahaha, thanks :)

Thank you!

Honestly these book lists are so dangerous - I've literally run out of bookshelf space. Okay so that was true years ago yet I keep going. And with stuff like this where it's not hugely mass-market, I sort of have this belief that I need to own it in person, new, to support the authors.

Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction Thyme Travellers brings together fourteen of the Palestinian diaspora’s best voices in speculative fiction, the first collection of its kind in Canada.

Wow this is also one I absolutely want to read: Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction, edited by Sonia Sulaiman.

The Best Books You've Never Heard Of (Summer 2025) Books don't always get the marketing budget they deserve. Here are nine of the best books you've (probably) never heard of.

Hahahaha, Buffalo is the New Buffalo made Book Riot's "The Best Books You've Never Heard Of" list:

Honestly, I'm flattered - this was such a weird project I sort of figured no one would ever read it beyond my thesis advisors.

I have very much retreated from the world over the past few weeks to work - and now that I'm self-employed I do find myself working harder than ever, but accomplishing so much more. It's been weird and exhausting but what I'm producing is blowing my mind.

lmao. What a collossal waste of money.

Rounds and rounds of editing - never knowing if this time will be the last.

BUT the new edition of Indigenous Writes is just about ready for its 10-year anniversary! Exciting stuff :)

All this work is actually paying off omg. The Cree course is coming together in a really amazing way. I was aiming for 12 modules and I'm definitely not going to get there by the end of this month - but I think it's going to be enough to hopefully get more funding to keep going.

The quickest of google searches would tell you that Indigenous sovereignty is the inherent right of Indigenous Peoples to self-govern.

Facing a housing crunch, National Defence plans to build on bases across Canada. But, @leahbortskuperman.bsky.social reports, every one is contaminated with chemicals linked to cancer, heart issues and more. Can they be cleaned up enough to keep military families safe?

I feel like we don't get enough films that give us the ending we want. This did that perfectly :D

Seeds with Kaniehtiio Horn TIFF is a charitable cultural organization with a mission to transform the way people see the world, through film.

Graham Greene playing himself was a stroke of genius. I absolutely loved Exhibit A too, omg what a series :D

I just watched the movie Seeds, written, directed, and starred in by Kaniehtiio Horn and it's like...the perfect rez neechie revenge fantasy. Plus there were so many little things that were familiar and hilarious and probably only legible to neechies which I love.

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

just burned the ever-loving crap out of my mouth by not letting my tea cool down I am ridiculous

Even if Albertans does manage to vote in the NDP and reverse course, we won't get anything from the Pharmacare program.

Cool. Cool.

A promo image, it's a picture of my old house after my dad drove a bulldozer through it this summer. You can see the wreckage of the side of the house, and through it the grimy tiny little kitchen with its skylight - the subject of this story. The picture is labeled "The Roof" and then has my name and the link to my patreon, which is patreon.com/apihtawikosisan.
