“It’s wild that in an era where Canadians have never been more diverse, our cultural production has been crushed…replaced with nothing in an era where we’ve never had more talent and more stories that need to be told.”

Finally reading “We Will Not Cancel Us” by

Kingston city council just approved a bylaw to keep tenants’ units under 26C but here’s the catch—they have to *have A/C* and there’s no requirement to provide it. Those without are still going to roast. A toothless idea that does not protect our most vulnerable from increasingly hot summers.

NEW VIDEO: Can you imagine libraries of tools, clothing and even housing? The library economy can be the bridge to an entirely new world of human flourishing. Let's explore what the library economy is, what may and may not be included, and what it might take to bring it to life.

Gently: the Canadian flag continues to be a symbol of colonization. I wish Canada had stood against US Imperialism when it comes to the genocide in Gaza rather than being wholeheartedly complicit. As

Time for Gen X who grew up in 1980s blue collar income families to step up & give lessons. 1) No, you don't need strawberries in January. 2) buy the rice, potatoes, carrots & onions in the 10 kg sacks. 3) A lot of protein in beans. You don't need steak, dammit! Chicken leg quarters are a treat.

We must give people dreams instead of just resistance. Resistance is a survival state. Dreams are aspirational and that motivation drives revolution; they are the fuel for the amazing potential we all have to build a world that doesn't require you to survive, but rather to thrive!

Well, the United States has chosen fascism and Canada has two options: to also choose fascism or to choose anti-fascism. Antifascism is our only hope. So ask yourself: where are all the mainstream antifascists?

if those most affected by a crisis are celebrating some victory, join their joy, or witness it. a journey is made of steps, a change is made by moments, a worldview transformation must feel compelling, feel possible. a breath for joy, a second to touch the grief, don’t take it - join, or witness.
