Just found that the Ottawa International Writers' Festival is on the fediverse but not active. Been trying to get them to cross post here for a bit. Maybe if I remind them that someone there joined, they'll make the time.

Can't hardly wait for the #RobertMacFarlane event on May 30 at the #OttawaInternationalWritersFestival.

Was happy to find this interview in #theguardian.

Otoniya J. Okot Bitek and Iryn Tushabe in conversation about their first novels - We: the Kindling and Everything Is Fine. Novels by Canadian women set in Uganda. Novels I now must read even though I already have too many books on my To Read list. Damn you Ottawa International Writer's Festival.

Every year the Ottawa International Writer's Festival brings a fascinating group of scientists and science writers to entertain and enlighten. Dr Jagadish Shukla is one such scientist. This afternoon, with genuine humility, he brought life to his research and his recent autobiography, A Billion Butterflies: A Life in Climate and Chaos Theory.

Just heard Timothy Caulfield talk about issues relating to his book "The Certainty Illusion, what you don't know and why it matters" at the Ottawa International Writer's Festival. Hella importante to everyone on every side of every debate.
