Last week I had the absolute pleasure and honor to be able to document the Ottawa launch of the book 'The Letters: Postmarked Prejudice in Black and White'
Author Sheila White delivers a detailed presentation about struggles faced by her parents, a biracial couple from Nova Scotia during the 1940s
Her book is a captivating novel about their life and adventures as they moved throughout their life from the maritimes to Toronto. Her father William 'Billy' White, a talented musician and activist, eventually receiving the order of Canada in the 1970s.
A poignant discussion history of racism and prejudice in Canada.

Karim Walker, an organizer and outreach specialist for the Safety Net Project at the Urban Justice Center, speaks with @THECITY about the way unhoused people and others who are experiencing mental health challenges are perceived by others.

How do you find the bookreading community here? Is this a friendlier forum than Twitter? Lately I've been reading articles and book chapters of interest over complete books, which I supposed might seem unusual. (I get into group discussions, and look for sources and info related to the topics.)
my book interests are #sciencefiction #Judaica #Bible #philosophy #Heschel #vegetarian and #pescetarian #cookbooks, and #nonfiction books on modern society & #socialissues
I will here mainly shitpost in #norwegian, and retweet #UK politics, #brexit, #economics, #online culture, The Impending #Doom, my #gym and #lifting, #catsofmastodon, #nsfw jokes - and #food and #cooking .
…AAAND the occational rant about #socialissues, #poverty, #lgbt rights, #transrights, #refugees, and the interesting life starting a business.
He/Him, Webdev from Ōtautahi/Christchurch but don't post a lot of work related stuff.
Interested in #socialissues, #boardgaming and #tabletoproleplaying.
Hi #nztwits. I've had a Mastodon for some time, but only managed very intermittent crossposting. This isn't my birdsite handle but I only really lurk over there and most who know me are more likely to recognise this one :D
"Angel of Death" (April 2021) — inspired by two suicide bombings/attacks in the past three days in Indonesia.
