This futurist talk reminds me of the basic library principle that differentiates data > information > knowledge > wisdom. Wisdom is where our humanity resides and can’t be AI generated. #cican2023

The lovely folks at @MassyBooks have made you a curated list of Vancouver titles, if you want to buy any of these Great Novels (and short stories, poetry collections, memoirs, and nonfiction books) locally: storestock.massybooks.com/bo…
listened to @Canadaland this morning & @jessebrown claimed that "no one has ever been inspired by Vancouver to write a great novel" so now I feel obligated to do a thread about great Vancouver novels:
A stellar festival. Thank you and congratulations to @LeslieHurtig @omarelakkad for a stunning program, and to the staff, volunteers, and of course the authors who are still writing the words we need. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That’s a wrap on @VanWritersFest Festival 2022.
Thank you to all the authors for sharing their words and feeding our minds. And, thank you to the audiences for filling these seats and buying books.
Feeling grateful (and exhausted 😜)

What a joy watching @EleanorWachtel interview @pierre_jarawan at @VanWritersFest tonight. Both were masterful, thoughtful, authentic & kind. Listen when the episode is broadcast. And buy his novel.
Record longest week. Heading to @VanWritersFest for a 🍺 and more 📚 events to restore the humanity reserves.
Power of stories, listening from the heart. A beautiful @VanWritersFest event by @RogersShelaghwith with @marshalederman, Brian Thomas Isaac, @DaveAlexRoberts and the voice & wisdom of Harold R. Johnson.
Fourth time vaccinated. 💉Refreshed my masks for the fall. 😷 Voting in early municipal polls tomorrow. 🗳 I am so grateful, lucky, and privileged.
Got my dates wrong. Advanced polls for #VanElxn2022 is on Oct 8, 11, and 13! vancouver.ca/news-calendar/a…
Finally got tix to @VanWritersFest. More than I can mentally handle, tbh, but the program is *that* good. So many congrats on a stunning lineup @LeslieHurtig!! 👏🏽📚❤️
Am sooo late to the party, but all the WOOTS and TOOTS 🥳 🎉👏🏽 to @edrabinski for being our new elected American Library Association President!!
After 2+ year Covid distraction, tentatively returning to Twitter. I’ve lost my tweeting muscles but the brain & heart activity is expanding again. Feels ok. 👋🏽😬
Thankful for African Canadian Association of Ottawa who have organized a coalition to support vulnerable Black people in Ukraine. Donate here: gofund.me/a3a6ba5f
I 💯x💯x💯 support @edrabinski to be ALA’s next President. She thinks, acts, and leads from a place that cares about people’s lives. Radical, I know. Sign up by Jan 31st to add your vote! ala.org/membership/joinala
Nooooo, we’re not ready for this ride to end @caroloffcbc. You’ve touched my life everyday, for the better. Thank you 🙏🏽❤️
