Autrice de Valide, Vaillante, Vandales. Author of Valid. I write books about our collective futures.
Dans @lapresse.ca, Michel Jean parle de son amour pour la SF, un genre dont il est (re)tombé amoureux.
On en profite pour discuter du regain de popularité du genre en français !

Canadians! is anyone else reading Valide by Chris Bergeron? I'm tentatively encouraged by a trans book of warning being held in this moment. Toronto Public Library only has the audiobook in the original French so me, my disability, & my French immersion are all the way in

I love using libby, especially since I recently figured out I could get an Edmonton Public Library card as a U of Alberta student, it’s been a GAME CHANGER for reading on my kobo! I’m reading Blood Like Magic rn (LOVING it), and hoping to start Babel this weekend!

Do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let the pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,
you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

We will never out republican republicans.
Democrats should be the party that helps people- and starts with those struggling the most for the common good.
Anyone missing this point should be fired from “strategizing” for the party.
Totally Not-Fun Facts: 13 of the 14 books banned by Utah's new book-banning legislation are written by women, and none of the books are pornography, despite "they contain pornographic material" being the justification for banning them. #booksky #librarians #bookban #nobookban

went to the launch of Absolution tonight in Montreal and got to babble incoherently at @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social 🫣 such a fun, lively and interesting discussion between him and @chrisbergeron.bsky.social, whose novel Valid I can't wait to read!
