If you're unfamiliar with Anishinaabemowin and were wondering how to pronounce the words and phrases found in Moon of the Turning Leaves, I made a video with tips on how to read and sound out the language. Hope it helps! Aambe Nishnaabemdaa! youtu.be/PLfN5x7zzxw?si…

Person 1: “I loved that movie/book/show/song!” Person 2, who hated that movie/book/show/song: “Oh that’s cool.” That’s it. That’s all that needs to be said. No screeds or lectures tearing down Person 1’s joy.

Am working to ensure APPARITIONS doesn’t sink into the tar pit like Marion Crane’s car in PSYCHO. I worked too hard on this book to allow it to fade away. If any of y’all are interested in chatting about disability-centred horror, reach out. 🤟🏼👻💀

School boards acknowledge Oct as a time to recognize the contributions of Caribbean, Hispanic, Muslim and Korean communities in Ont. Our school parent bulletins have recognized these communities except one: #KoreanHeritageMonth. Is this happening board-wide at @YRDSB?
