Every year during FTRW, I usually like to post one (potentially) offensive song (eg. a song with lots of swearing or controversial lyrics or whatever) because it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. đ Sometimes these songs use swearing to make a point about censorship, sometimes they use swearing for humourous effect and sometimes the […]
Given the hash tags I’m using for this post, I suspect there are going to be a couple different audiences for this post – those who are interested in content related to Freedom to Read Week and those who’ve seen the writing I’ve done as Social Media Director for one of the candidates in the […]
As I have on this blog every year since 2007, I’m planning a week-long series of posts relating to the unofficial Haunakah (er, or week-long holiday of your choice) for librarians everywhere – Freedom to Read Week! Tune in for the rest of the week for seven crazy nights of fun! To start it off, let’s […]
Freedom to Read Week starts next week but since a couple of my colleagues my colleagues were on CTV Morning Live today promoting RPL’s various offerings (including a great event you should take in tomorrow night if you’re anywhere near Regina), I thought I’d start things off a bit early too with a very relevant quote […]
Erin Weir’s campaign sent out an e-mail blast today entitled “Why We’re With Weir” which lists excerpts from various supporters and endorsers.

This was a day of political-campaign and Internet firsts, the sitting president subjecting himself to a free- for-all question-and-answer session with a hardcore community of pot-smoking freedom junkies who hated drones and loved porn and […]
I’m not sure whether to be proud or sad that I caught the vast majority of the references in this video… Â (If you prefer text links, this one has many of the same memes in the video. Â And here’s a summary of the year from a Canadian perspective.)
Got involved in a discussion today which led to this article about a repentant “Grammar Nazi” who realised that her judging of people who had bad spelling and grammar on the Internet was her reinforcing that she had all kinds of privileges that the people she was making fun of didn’t – education, income, security, […]
1. What did you do this year that youâd never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know!
