I’ve been reading a lot of Robert J. Sawyer lately, because as pointed out by Adam Shaftoe and Matt Moore in the fall 2011 On Spec, he’s a Canadian Sci-Fi author who is surprisingly opt…

Here is a list (updated Oct 2025) of libraries who offer cards to non-residents.
I checked my library (non-resident cards available) and 2 of Krista's books are available as an ebook.
And if the library doesn't have the book you want, you can request they acquire it!

Oh hell, Jimmy Cliff has passed. I can’t overstate how important this man was to much of the music I love, both with his own work and with his influence. Without him, the soundtrack of my life would be much less joyous. Rest in power.

two other quick points:
1) if people are setting plastic change tables on fire, perhaps replace them with metal ones.
2) $28,000 per year in repairs is around 0.05% of the $50 million annual budget increase requested by the VPD, and more cops will not address the root causes of vandalism

Indian, when used by a non-Native to describe us, is derogatory. Many of consider it to be a contextual slur.
WE will it: Indian Country, Indian hospital, when referring to ourselves and others Natives. But no one else should be using it to describe us!

Eldest daughter’s master’s thesis was published yesterday. She dedicated it to Auntie Mai, who did the legwork of reconnecting us to the Red River Métis community. Unfortunately, she passed suddenly last year.
