Reminder to Canadians 🇨🇦 to keep protesting Indigo Books CEO Heather Reisman's support of Israel's genocidal military.
If you love books like I do you're better off supporting a local bookstore than having your money be used to commit genocide!
Also, tell Canada Revenue to revoke Reisman's HESEG foundation's charitable tax status. Anyone proudly funding and supporting the IDF should get our contempt, not our tax dollars.

Write a letter to Canada Revenue Agency: No subsidies for war crime
Take a minute to support a formal complaint asking the Canada Revenue Agency to investigate whether the HESEG FOUNDATION and its main patron THE GERALD SCHWARTZ and HEATHER REISMAN FOUNDATION are violating rules for registered charities.actionnetwork.org

"If you wish to understand evil, you must understand the bark, the roots, the worms of the earth… Aphid eats leaf, ladybug eats aphid, soil absorbs dead ladybug, plant feeds upon soil. Is aphid evil? Is ladybug evil? Is soil evil? Where is evil in all the wood?"
(The Parliament of Trees speaking to the titular character in issue 47 of Alan Moore's run as writer of Swamp Thing)

The majority of staff at the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services was put on administrative leave in March, after an executive order signed by President Trump called for the elimination of the agency. Shortly after that, grants for public libraries were canceled or frozen. Now, rural libraries are facing bills they can't pay, for services like summer reading programs, interlibrary loan systems, and even day care and tele-health. Publishers Weekly talked to library staff from West Virginia, Iowa and Texas — conservative, Republican-voting agricultural towns, about the likely consequences. "People don’t understand what all of this means,” said Dianne Connery, development director of Pottsboro Library, Texas. “They think it’s going to affect somebody else, somewhere else. In the end, it is against their best interest, and I don’t think that is what they intended.”

A game of secrets and lies. ‘Bloody Orkney’ is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland, mainly in Orkney, during World War Two. It uses many real settings, transported eight decades back in time.

We will probably have to be prepared for accidents like this more often in the future, because it is almost impossible that they will learn something from the #failure and do better.
