Bandcamp Friday is back for 2025. On March 7, we’ll once again waive our revenue share, ensuring more money goes directly to artists. Last year, fans spent $3.1 million in a single day—the biggest since 2022. Let’s keep that momentum going. Mark your calendars and get your wishlist ready.

As I scramble to complete final (final?!) revisions to my debut novel, I've been reflecting on how weird it will feel when I part ways with this massive Word document. insert wistful montage of me staring into a glowing computer screen for years

Don't miss today's conversation with Omar El Akkad, about a book I'll surely be thinking alongside for a long time. A map, a guide, a thinking through & a breakup letter with the American dream. Audio📻🔥: tinhouse.com/podcast/omar... @aaknopf.bsky.social @canongate.co.uk @textpublishing.bsky.social

As a dad, I'm immensely proud of my children. But as a dad, I also feel compelled to talk to you at length about these snow tires ...

I was on @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social this morning to discuss Amazon's decision to close its Quebec operations instead of negotiate a union contract with its workers. The move shows how far the company will go to avoid unions. youtu.be/xTiY-zUIwrA?...

It’s a bummer they won’t be mooning Hollywood during an acceptance speech (per BIFAs). But there’s always the BAFTAs? 🌝 www.irishtimes.com/culture/film... @irishtimes.com

Interesting piece from @elizkolbert.bsky.social on what might motivate our moral judgements. Mentions how harm-based storytelling is (for better/worse) more effective than sharing facts these days. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... @newyorker.com

Great interview with @charlieangus104.bsky.social. Small quibble on the Q about Cdns voting 'against' the NDP: I don't think FPTP represents what people actually want. Without ranked ballots + pro rep, our election history is a record of flattened preferences. @fairvote.ca youtu.be/bXdIjbix_pk

Plenty of insight here, but the TL;DR is basically = anti-globalization protestors in the late ‘90s/early 2000s were pretty much spot on. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/04/u...

"In the 1980s, CEOs made about 50 times the average worker. In the '90s, it was 100 times. We're now, I think, pretty solidly over 200 times."

Climate conspiracies that used to be relegated to the fringes are now the talking points of elected Canadian leaders. How did we get here — and is there any way to change the conversation? from @michellecyca.com

This is becoming the mainstream, consensus position in the global humanitarian / human rights community. It should be recognised and treated as such. Not just in the general discourse, but by policymakers above all. They have a specific obligation to prevent genocide. Active facilitation is criminal

Plenty of intense reading experiences in the second half of the year. Feels appropriate for the times, tbh. Graveyard Clay is conceptually similar to one of my faves, Lincoln in the Bardo. But way snarkier. #Booksky 💙📚 #reading
