Academics who write during term (i.e. while teaching): 1. How many classes do you teach per term? 2. How often do you write (e.g. once/wk, when you can, etc.)? 3. When do you write (e.g. weekend, morning, at night, etc.)? 4. What's the biggest barrier(s) to you writing? 5. Do you have any tips?

A scribe in a ruby tunic with a dark purple cloak over top is seated on a wooden chair, and focusing on the task of writing in a manuscript that is resting on a lectern. The scribe appears inside a large, illuminated letter E that is blue. Within the E the background is made up of small dark blue squares with a circle in each square, almost like the wall behind the clerk is a quilt. The background outside the letter E is similar to the background in the letter E, only it is made up of red squares instead of blue ones. Reference: Durham Cathedral Library MS A.II.3 f.279v

Also an important note for Canadian library goers: every winter the Canada Council for the Arts pays authors for having their books available in libraries through the Public Lending Right. For most CanLit folks these cheques are significantly more substantial than their annual royalties.

Not only do I second this, my favorite compliment is when readers tell me they checked the book out from the library only to turn around and buy it because they loved it so much. Read away, dear reader. That's why I wrote them.

My anger toward people who talk about "lockdowns" is definitely about the trauma of losing multiple members of my family and having too many loved ones suffering with Long COVID while people who lost no one and nothing of importance continue to bash the efforts that kept them safe.

It comes up in the most mundane conversations, but with profound implications. It touched (and continues to touch) every aspect of people’s lives. Work, education, family, friendships, the way they feel about their community, the way they feel about technology and social media.

"Trump has often complained that dealing with Canadians is unpleasant and nasty. He should expect us to get nastier still. Whether he knows it or not, he’s left us little choice." Hehehe...let's get nasty...🇨🇦

Trump has singled out us Canadians for special treatment in his tariff war – there is no choice but to get nasty | Matt Gurney

The White House fails to understand that Mark Carney and Canada’s regional leaders can’t cave in to the US president: it’s too toxic to voters, says Toronto-based journalist Matt Gurney

Great thread & responses here. I've read about the 1918 flu pandemic (and the overlapping tuberculosis epidemic) that played out during and after WWI, but had not read anything about that flu and the rise of fascism.

One of my Crank Theories of Everything, at least of Everything in the Recent Past, is that we are dealing (badly) with COVID trauma we’d mostly prefer to pretend never happened.

One of the best things you can do for an author is check their book out of the library. If your library doesn't have the title, requesting it is also great! Never apologize. The library bought the book! Sometimes more than one! Because of you!

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 2w ago

Never ever apologize for getting someone's book from the library. A lot of them were written by authors who themselves first read a lot of other books in a library

Though David Jón Fuller has been called a staple of Winnipeg’s theatre community, it is safe to say that he has spent most his spare time over the last decade writing.

Paris has been praised in recent years for their visionary, progressive city-building, but they don’t get nearly enough credit for just being really pragmatic! Everything they’ve been doing is common sense. They’re moving a lot more people with less space while cleaning the air & cooling the city.

Many Parisians on bikes in a protected bike-lane in central Paris (Rue de Rivoli)Many Paris streets are still chocked with cars, with traffic moving VERY slowly. If the people choosing bikes were all driving cars instead, the gridlock would be even worse — in fact, that’s how it was not many years ago.
