Protesters gathered in front of the Royal Bank of Canada's (RBC) downtown Montreal office on Saturday to demand that the bank stop investing in fossil fuels.

It was one of dozens of protests held across Canada as part of a multi-day campaign to put pressure on the financial institution ahead of its annual general meeting next week.

Rajendra Kapila Basdeo, co-ordinator of the Kahnistensera (Mohawk Mothers) solidarity collective, was one of the people who showed up.

"The bank should be a good example for people to put their money in, and they should divest from fossil fuels," he said. "It's the only proper way to protect our environment."

Last year, a Banking on Climate Chaos report found that RBC was the world's foremost funder of fossil fuels in 2022. Between 2016 and 2021, the bank ranked fifth in financing fossil fuels, according to the report. [...]

Notes from the poster @el-shab-hussein: Unfriendly reminder that RBC has over 2 million shares worth more than 76 million CAD in a zionist military tech company that uses AI to murder and spy on Palestinians. RBC also invests in zionist settlements in the West Bank, something that is by every standard of international law completely and totally illegal.

6 Steps to Help You Read Like a Writer

What have you learned about writing from the novels and stories that you read? Whether you love them or hate them, there’s a lot you can learn just from reading books! Today, the folks at Reese’s Book Club have shared some tips to help you read like a writer:

While there are a hundred different books offering specific writing advice from writers, critics, and educators, there is one universal truth accepted by all: to become a great writer, you have to be a great reader. This doesn’t mean reading acclaimed literature or finishing the Man Booker List each year. Instead, it means reading with a critical eye and learning from every book you pick up.

Every book has something to teach you, whether you liked it or not. Below are six areas where we teach you how to read your TBR like a writer.

1. Study the POV

Point of View, or POV, is a crucial part of every story, changing the way the reader connects with the story. First POV tends to bring the reader in by sitting them in the heads of the main characters while third POV offers a more holistic scope of the story.

Questions to Ask: How do different POVs build tension and drive drama? Which characters and I’m sympathizing with most and why? How does the story use POV to tell us more about the world of the novel?

Required Reading: The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

2. Pacing/Structure

Chances are you’ve stumbled across a book that’s struggled to hold your attention. Examining these moments and what’s going on can help you solve for it in your own work.

Questions to Ask: When are you growing tired of the story? Is it a page count issue? A scene length issue? On a scene level, what is missing that could add drama or push the story forward? On a story level, is the plot too straightforward? How might deeper character work or plot twists create a more engaging story?

Required Reading: The Secrets We Kept by Lara Prescott

3. Stakes

Stakes are the reason we care about a story, why we’re affected so much when one character doesn’t get the love interest or when another character dies a tragic death. Notice which characters you become most invested in and why.

Questions to Ask: How do the world stakes and personal stakes interact? Are they in conflict with one another? Are they aligned? Which of these two options creates more engagement for you as a reader?

Required Reading: The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave

4. Character Arcs

As readers, we want to see characters develop and grow. Studying how this is done in a novel can help you structure character development in your own work.

Questions to Ask: How do the obstacles the characters’ face force them to pivot? What about the plot forces them to reassess their beliefs? How do other characters impact the protagonists’ behavior? How do the protagonists’ mistakes, assumptions, and ideals create new problems in the text?

Required Reading: The Alice Network by Kate Quinn

5. Secondary Characters

Don’t neglect your side characters. Think about what types of characters can bring conflict, tension, comfort, and hope to your character’s world.

Questions to ask: Who is challenging the main character’s beliefs in this world? Who is the antagonist? What does their dialogue cadence look like? How do their personalities bounce off of each other? What is their life outside of the protagonist’s story?

Required Reading: Firekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley

6. Main Character Development

We all love a morally gray character, but they are usually constructed in such a way that we as readers still fall in love with them. Character development is how you get your reader on the side of your character.

Questions to Ask: What makes you care about the characters? Especially the ones you’re not supposed to like? How does their backstory play into the situation? Does that make them more sympathetic? Less?

Required Reading: Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid

Each month, Reese Witherspoon, the founder of Reese’s Book Club, chooses a book with a woman at the center of the story. There's no formula to the books chosen to be in the spotlight, and RBC likes it that way. They make their choices thoughtfully and look for ways to deepen readers’ connection to books, authors and ourselves. LitUp by Reese’s Book Club is an underrepresented, un-agented women’s writer fellowship helping to diversify our bookshelves. To keep up with all news from Reese’s Book Club, sign up for their newsletter.

Let it be known I haven't cried this hard for a character death in so long and I bawled my eyes out for Red Blood Cell F.

Listen I knew, he would be going, they visited the kidney like 3 times! And the scene from the OG Cells at Work was already a teary moment. But not this time.

Full. Waterworks.

Also I find the line of him coming back one day both cruel but interesting.

The og series was good at telling us the lifespan of rbc. But Pigtails made it to 3 years. Aha. Which makes me think...this universe of prolonged survival...an iteration of F could possibly come back. Pregnancy can raise levels above 1%.

Demonstrators gathered in 40 locations across Canada on Saturday to voice their opposition to the Royal Bank of Canada's funding of fossil fuel projects. The protests, part of a nation-wide effort dubbed Fossil Fools Day, unfolded in cities including Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Halifax and Vancouver. One protestor said the demonstrations were intended to raise awareness of the bank's looming Annual General Meeting, scheduled to take place in Saskatoon on April 5.

What does mean by moderate microcytic hypochromic anemia with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia?

Moderate microcytic hypochromic anemia with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia is a medical condition in which a person has low levels of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in their blood.

Microcytic anemia refers to a type of anemia where the red blood cells are smaller than expected. Hypochromic anemia refers to a type of anemia where the red blood cells have less hemoglobin (the protein that carries oxygen in the blood) than normal.

Leukopenia refers to a condition in which the number of white blood cells in the blood is lower than normal. Thrombocytopenia refers to a condition in which the number of platelets in the blood is lower than normal.

Together, these conditions can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, increased susceptibility to infections, easy bruising or bleeding, and more. The underlying cause of moderate microcytic hypochromic anemia with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia can vary and may require further investigation and treatment by a healthcare professional.

Moderate microcytic hypochromic anemia with leukopenia and thrombocytopenia can have several causes, including:

Iron deficiency anemia: This is the most common cause of microcytic hypochromic anemia, and it occurs when the body does not have enough iron to make hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood. Iron deficiency anemia can also cause leukopenia and thrombocytopenia.

Chronic infections: Certain chronic infections, such as tuberculosis or HIV, can cause anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.

Bone marrow disorders: Disorders affecting the bone marrow, such as leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome, can cause a decrease in all blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Autoimmune disorders: Autoimmune disorders, such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, can cause anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia.

Medications: Some medications, such as chemotherapy or certain antibiotics, can cause a decrease in blood cells.
