Listening to Commotion today about “the cost of being silent” and it’s quite a different tone than for example, the CBC’s own silence for the last three years… weird how that works once it’s relatively safer to speak up 🤷🏻♀️
NEW: Corb Lund has penned a letter to Premier Smith, calling for an immediate coal moratorium, claiming that former Elections Alberta staff have raised serious questions about the validation process of his petition.
Excited to join the #FEELedLab as a visiting researcher next week. I'll be running a climate, weather, and wellness community writing workshop as part of my #SSHRC postdoc at #UNBC, as well as engaging in research-creation immersed in the local ecosystem. 1/3 thefeeledlab.ca/2026/09/02/r...

Day 16 of the #SealeyChallenge in which I read @samanthajonespoet's ingenious collection Attic Rain. "The warp on this loom, / the rest of my life woven / around you." "Can I leave things like this? // without being cured?" #SealeyChallenge2026

Henning@geohenning.bsky.social · last mo.A new video emerged which seems to show a surface rupture in Yatsushiro, Japan following the M6.8 earthquake in July! Exact location of the video would be 32°30'04.0"N 130°38'29.9"E. Absolutely wild. Only the second ever video of a surface rupture forming after the 2025 Myanmar video! ⚒️🧪 #geology
The #SealeyChallenge is a great time to support poets published with small presses (like me!). If you can’t buy books, you can always borrow from your library. In Canada, authors get paid through a public lending rights program, so suggesting your library acquire a copy is also helpful! #Poetry ❤️📚
Samantha eff Jones@sjonespoet.bsky.social · 12mo agoSometimes dreams do come true. I’ve loved books and bookstores and libraries since I was a wee kiddo, and I dreamed that one day maybe I could make something that would be on the shelves. Grateful and proud to be an author and editor with two book babes 🤩📚

Heather Campbell@thatheatherc.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis oped by @stufts.bsky.social is good. Executives at WestJet will delay good faith negotiations knowing the federal government loathes labour disruption + will sacrifice workers fair wages, rights & gender-based wage gains for investment attractiveness. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...
Are you doing the #SealeyChallenge? Not sure if I’ll manage a book per day, but I’ll certainly engage with poetry each day. Started yesterday (Day 1) with Black Girl in the Ring by Delores V. Mullings, published by @breakwaterbooks.bsky.social. #CanLit #Poetry breakwaterbooks.com/products/bla...

My dog often looks like a tiny stick dog in photos if there isn’t something obvious for scale. Then folks are surprised when they meet him irl and realize he very big stick dog.
