Ty for the goldfish post! I'm sick of people saying 'they're only fish'. Fish suffer too!

You’re welcome! I’m so glad you care too. The more people that care and share about fish truths, the likelier it is for society overall to change its preconceptions!

Goldfish myths are embedded in our culture. Here’s a closer look at many misconceptions people have about them. As a goldfish owner/lover myself, I think it’s important when anyone new to the hobby learns why these myths hurt goldfish as a pet, and how to properly care for them so they can reach a nice ripe age of 10-20.

Some more people to keep in mind, yet still only a small percentage of the unarmed Americans of color killed over the past two years by people sworn to protect them. No justice. No peace. No racist police.

This year, both Mariko and I were nominated for Governor General’s Awards for This One Summer. The GGs are a Canadian literary prize with a lot of pomp and, it must be said, a very hefty cheque attached. Mariko had been nominated in 2008, for Skim, in the category of children’s...

First graphic novel to receive a GG award, and so worth it! What a beautiful book, rich with sociological and psychological aspects of growing up.
