URGENT CALL TO ACTION: please sign and share our petition, tell the Alberta Gov’t you don’t support book bans! Censorship escalates rapidly, put pressure on the gov’t now to ensure it doesn’t take hold in Canada.

I strongly support this organization and its efforts. I've seen what book bans do and who they target. Please see the official information below about the organization and how to get involved.
Public Service Announcement...It's that time again, so manage your communications, prepare even more diligently for travel, and don't buy any houses. But you can let go of what no longer serves you. Honour your commitments to self (and others). Happy Mercury Retrograde! :)
I’m picking up on where I left off in my Craft,Community, and Connection series by talking about how Caroline Fraser and Elizabeth Epperly recognized the importance of discussing how Laura Ingalls Wilder’s and L.M. Montgomery’s novels reach a diverse readership. open.substack.com/pub/melanief...
My latest Substack on why I choose to do smaller projects.

Today, my 14th #kidlit book goes out into the world. Asha And Baz Meet Gladys West is a chapter book series about #WomenInSTEM. Modern-day GPS is based on the mathematical work of Gladys West. Let's celebrate the number 14 with a cup of tea (or beverage of your choice). Cheers! ☕

My latest publication took me outside my comfort zone but working with Jessica made me feel like I could contribute my perspective. The work that everyone is doing in preserving & reclaiming lost aspects of Yiddish literature is commendable. I'm honoured to be part of it.
Three days left to submit! 🦚
calling all would-be Yiddish influencers…!
Happy 10th Anniversary @ingeveb.bsky.social. I was quite surprised when Jessica asked me to write a review as Yiddish Studies. I've also used the journal for my research. I was also paid for my writing, which is I know is part of their fundraising efforts: ingeveb.org/blog/in-geve.... Mazel Tov!
We have extended the deadline for submissions to our special issue on "Yiddish Science Fiction" to Monday, May 5th. We seek submissions for our blog, pedagogy, and translation sections, as well as a special section of minyaturn.

This week on Substack I continue to discuss some of the theoretical approaches to writing and how it can be applied to scholarly writing. open.substack.com/pub/melanief...
“We, a diverse coalition of Jews at Columbia and Barnard, wholeheartedly reject the invocation of Jewish safety as a pretense to persecute, detain, and deport fellow students and community members without due process of law.”

I loved this show.
Kate's great thread is in response to the (underdiscussed) phenomenon of voters who jumped from the NDP to the Conservatives this election.
Some voters are drawn to the party they see as most anti-establishment. Poilievre has successfully rebranded the freaking CONSERVATIVES as anti-establishment.
Office reorg part one: in which I find alll the pens!
In which I begin to talk about creating "Craft, Connection, and Community" through writing in the humanities. open.substack.com/pub/melanief...

“Oh, I don’t mean just the tree; of course it’s lovely...but I meant everything, the garden and the orchard and the brook and the woods, the whole big dear world.
Don’t you feel as if you just loved the world on a morning like this?

Thanks In geveb: A Journal of Yiddish Studies for inviting me write about this translation of Yiddish Canadian Jewish writer, Ida Maze. It was way outside my comfort zone but grateful to the editor for guiding me with the right questions: ingeveb.org/articles/din...
