I feel like they created the voicemail and took everyone out of town simply because it slowed the pace and fed the narrative. The length of time they've kept their space doesn't actually in line with their desire to make her happy.
Still hooked though, especially now Paraguay is coming to town.

Michelle Good: Thomas King now faces a firestorm over his claims to Indigeneity. Here’s all he needed to say He owes an apology to every person who took in and relied on information who believed in and relied on his stories

Indeed. Cree author and lawyer Michelle Good has also written a good piece - β€œthe man is notorious for simply refusing to respond when queries and concerns about his ancestry were raised with him.”

FYI Gwen Benaway is not indigenous I notice you keep putting them on your lists.

Yes. As Michelle says the fact that he didn’t go looking speaks volumes.

I wrote a book about curling that is out this fall. I’m very proud of it and it’s designed to be enjoyed by anyone from the most staunch curling hater to the person who just goes to the curling club on a Friday night to β€œhang out”. You may pre-order it now and I’d be thrilled if you did

There are so many artists who are dead to me that when some people post shit about their "art" my instinct is literally to make those people also, "dead to me".
