Recently I had to accept the news that I am in fact not the center of the universe, nor am I a youth. People my parents’ age like to tell me I’m still young, but the undergrads I teach assure me that I am not their peer. The time has come, the walrus said, to

There is something absolutely magical about gardens. They come in various shapes and sizes, but are similar in the restfulness and proximity to nature they inspire in us.

The history of Indian Residential Schools is foundational to understanding Canada as it is today. In British Columbia, learning about residential schools is part of the curriculum from elementary school onwards, but that is not the same across Canada or the U.S., who have their own history of American Indian Boarding Schools — or even

I’ve been book blogging for more than a decade, and in that time, I’ve seen attitudes shift. In the early days of book blogging and BookTube, there was definitely some elitism in the reading community — which makes sense, because before the bookish internet, book media was mostly made up of critical reviews.

I’ve been working in books and publishing since 2004, I’ve been a sci-fi/fantasy fan since my mom read us The Hobbit, complete with voices and songs, and I still manage to mix up my Hugos with my Nebulas, fail to remember which formerly-known-as award is now called what, and lose track of newly-created awards.
