The voter's' packages for the Aurora Awards are now available. If you're a member of the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association, you can go download them. If you're not a member, it's only ten bucks to become one, and then you can read all sorts of terrific speculative fiction and poetry. My poem "Angakkuq" is one of the contenders, and I'd be honoured if you read it. Go read, and vote for your favourites! csffa.ca/ #SpeculativePoetry #SpeculativeFiction #AuroraAward #CanLit #IndigenousCreatives #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #IndigenousAuthors

The Halluci Nation - Burn Your Village To The Ground (Neon Nativez Remix)

"You have taken the land which is rightfully ours. Years from now my people will be forced to live in mobile homes on reservations. Your people will wear cardigans, and drink highballs. We will sell our bracelets by the road sides."

The Internet is today's road side. When you buy Native beadwork, you are helping people survive with dignity. Buy/order all you can like it's #MutualAid because it is. Mvto!

I'm used to reading aloud. I've done a LOT of readings, including hour-long readings without once ever stumbling over my lines. Last night, possibly because I'd had a headache and gut issues all day, I stumbled three times during my reading, improvising and remixing my sentences as I went so it didn't sound awkward. And what do you know, it worked. The audience was literally leaning into my words.

The other authors did fantastic jobs. I want to buy all their books.

Afterwards, I bought Cherie Dimaline's "Hunting By Stars," and she signed it for me.
