TIRED because I read DUCKS by Kate Beaton (one of my two absolute idols, but I'm a sceptic on this concept) for the last few nights and had a hard time putting it away to go to sleep. This was an intense read and I related with so many things, having worked in a male dominated migrant industry myself in my young adult years.
#katebeaton weaves a subtle but forceful story between feminism, history, identity and grief.
Wish I could read it again for the first time but younger #comic #novel #ducks -
And one last plug. This is a link to my November 2022 conversation with the extraordinary comic artist and graphic novelist Kate Beaton, of Hark! A Vagrant fame, about her award-winning, genre-defying autobiography, Ducks, on her time working in the oil sands of northern Alberta. Two years later, this one still haunts me. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TmsHHwaApC05pfqYHI7aL?si=toLQn9QmRlqUnIc07QHEaA #KateBeaton #AlbertaUnbound #Ducks #oilsands #FortMcMurray

Given this interesting archeological news (i.e., legend of Amazon warriors might have been based in fact), how could I not post a relevant Hark! A Vagrant comic? How?

CW: Long thread/42
II. Ducks by #KateBeaton
In 2005, Beaton was a newly minted art-school grad facing a crushing load of student debt, a debt she would never be able to manage in the crumbling, post-boom economy of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Like so many Maritimers, she left the home that meant everything for her to travel to Alberta, where the tar sands oil boom promised unmatched riches for anyone willing to take them.

Apologies if I'm wrong but I think @vicgrinberg read and recommended this?? If not, it was someone I follow on here for sure!... Had it a while now and only just getting around to reading it! It's OK so far (only started this morning, pg73). What is everyone else reading?? Any good? #KateBeaton #books #readinglist

I am super late to the party, but #Ducks from #KateBeaton is a masterpiece. Soooo goood.

I am listening to the episode of the 60 Songs that Explain the 90's podcast about Janet Jackson's "Together Again." As part of his wannabe Lester Bangs discursion the host references this comic strip from #KateBeaton . This is a gloriously wacky bit of art.

The CBC's Canada Reads competition is in full swing. And so far, Kate Beaton's remarkable graphic memoir, Ducks, is still in the race. A good reason and moment to re-post my Alberta Unbound interview with her! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-episode-4-of-ducks-and-men/id1511810939?i=1000587140178 #AlbertaUnbound #FortMcMurray #Alberta #CapeBreton #CBC #CanadianBroadcastingCorporation #CanadaReads #CanadaReads2023 #MatteaRoach #KateBeaton #Ducks #OilSands #NovaScotia #SenateofCanada

Mis pensamientos sobre "Ducks", la novela gráfica más reciente de Kate Beaton.
Siendo súper breves: es muy buena. Muy importante. Muy dura.

Delighted to see #Ducks by author/artist #KateBeaton chosen as one of the #CBC #CanadaReads nominees for this year. Not only is Ducks a powerful book about the lives of the people who work in the #Alberta oil sands - but this nomination gives me a brilliant excuse to repost my #AlbertaUnbound interview with Kate. https://open.spotify.com/episode/2TmsHHwaApC05pfqYHI7aL?si=KyICe4ksSvWvFD5hvIZE7Q #Canada #oilsands #FortMcMurray #graphicnovels

I worked in isolated treeplanting work camps for nine summers, and coming back from months of living in clearcuts often came with some mild culture shock.
I worked for one month in the Fort Mac oilsands, living in a work camp. Coming home from that was crazy disorienting. Industrial man camps are just removed from the social and personal structures of normal human life. It's dehumanizing, or maybe rehumanizing in an ugly way.

Finished Ducks by Kate Beaton in one sitting today (couching really).
So many people in Canada have connections to the oil patch and work camps, but only some have lived there. Beaton's book is deliberately personal and specific, but I'm glad more people can now have an additional view into how excruciatingly not-good that way of life is for people (especially but not only women).
Also, it's funny!

Our most recent Alberta Unbound episode featured Kate Beaton, talking about her extraordinary book, #Ducks - a graphic memoir of her years working in the oil sands. This is the book everyone is talking about - it's extraordinary. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-episode-4-of-ducks-and-men/id1511810939?i=1000587140178 #FortMcMurray #oilsands #KateBeaton #Alberta #CapeBreton

Kate Beaton made her name with her witty web comic, Hark! A Vagrant. Her new book, #Ducks, is very different - a powerful #memoir of her years in the oil sands work camps north of Ft. McMurray. Proud to host her on the latest episode of Alberta Unbound. This is a dark, disturbing, and funny conversation. And if you want to understand #Alberta - or Cape Breton - it's a must listen. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-episode-4-of-ducks-and-men/id1511810939?i=1000587140178 #CapeBreton #KateBeaton #ymm #oilsands
