@laurajpottinger @Thatsbobbins It's a fabric book

[Lois Klassen @loiszing]

I was about to ask for the sound tract and then #fakesongs ... Brilliant!

@ClarkKazak Working with @franfergra on a Chapter about ethical considerations in forced migration research and art was such a pleasure! I can't wait to work my way through the rest of the book. The span of topics is impressive.

It is time for my third InspireHealth Rain Walk. This year on March 9 at 9:30am. I am so thrilled to be able to bike to the event site and stroll around the sea wall with friends. Can you join me at the event or make a donation?

Interesting experience to put these thoughts into a news format, thanks to the excellent editing at The Conversation Canada.

An inaugural creative methods conference #ICRMC initiated and beautifully (generously!) produced by @DrHelenKara was inspiring. It also yielded colourful and thought provoking ephemera to mull over the morning after. I'm grateful to Helen, all the presenters, and new colleagues!

Thank you to artist and designer on this project @deanneachong for pointing out the poignancy of finishing this project on #LabourDay2023 . We remember children trafficked as labourers and colonists.

[Lois Klassen @loiszing]

On Labour Day, Canada's complicity with child immigrant labour is the theme at #ReadingtheMigrationLibrary headquarters. We are busy assembling the latest community publication, "Henry Frederick Terry (1907-1980) ~ I Remember" by Ginger Mason (Victoria).

Still haunted by this week's political panel on CBCs Early Edition @CBCStephenQuinn Is CBC complicit in enabling political influence in fossil fuel industries with this "journalistic" feature where critique is personalized & bullied? I find it frightening. https://t.co/LF5dFFDdu9
