[The Globe and Mail @globeandmail]

Canadian writer Alice Munro, whose short stories have been beloved for the past six decades, has died at 92. '
Her earthy humour and ability to extend sympathy to every character made her a household name, and made her birthplace of Wingham, Ontario, a place of literary pilgrimage.
She won the Nobel Prize in 2013, the only Canadian to ever win for literature, and the Giller Prize twice, then disqualified herself from the running in 2009 to make way for younger writers.
Ms. Munro leaves her daughters Sheila, Jenny and Andrea.

Action Comics #1 (1938) introduces the world to the superhero, but also to a problematic trope of implicit sexual violence against women that would go on to become a common story element of the Golden Age superhero genre. #ComicsStudies. 1/10

@NotleyPlace @amylaurajones ignite is the name of the current WUSC (GAC) funded volunteer project that continues to 2027. #mindblown

@amylaurajones This is super interesting. I am writing a paper in my politics of feminism and gender in development course on buzzwords and co-opted lingo (it is more interesting and kick ass than it seems lol) This branding sounds more like the work of Global Affairs Canada.

🆘Thousands of people like Hiba have been forced to flee intensifying conflict in #Sudan.

Along the border inside #Chad, WFP has delivered food and nutrition assistance to over 150,000 people.

As violence continues, more support is needed.

@ThatEricAlper I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!
