Maybe unpopular take?: the em-dash is cool, but in most writing Iāve seen where itās used, a comma is often more appropriate.

Today is Canada's National Day of Action & Remembrance on Violence against Women. It marks the day in 1989 when 14 women at Polytechnique in Montreal were murdered by an "incel" (Proving that shit has a new name but is an old problem.) There are vigils across the country today. Please attend one.

The windchill here is -4 degrees and Iām waiting for the bus. As I blink through the ice shards blowing into my eyeballs at 30 mph, I think about how glad I am they took the bus shelter down. At least the unhoused will have cause to reflect on how little they contributed to the economy.

I donāt know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content theyāre presenting.

One of my earliest moments of radicalization was in 2005 when Larry Summers said that women biologically have less aptitude for science than men. Following that, scores of equally unimpressive people wrote pieces trying to explain or justify his remarks, when they should have called for his removal.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Partly because so many formerly leftwing parties have turned to the right, there's a lot of confusion about what right and left mean in politics. I hope this helps: The right defends economic power. The left resists economic power.

Most of the popular serial killers were white men who basically got to act out on their misogyny in the most morbid way possible And if the majority of serial killers were black men, killing white women, this country would not be ~IN LOVE~ with serial killers.

I generally think we should be much harder on ppl running for office who plead ignorance about their own dumb choices because we should not be giving incurious, uninformed, glib adult children power to govern. Some āyouthful folliesā are signposts for a personās lack of growth.

In Canada: 80% of educators have witnessed misogyny in classrooms, including disrespect toward women and unhealthy stereotypes. 67% have seen incel-influenced beliefs linked to real-world gender-based violence. Never mind 'Male Loneliness Epidemic'. THIS is what needs attention.

Why are people who look like me called "prisoners" when they get kidnapped, but the people who resemble Europeans are called "hostages" ... and then in the same breath, I'll get accused of being "woke" or "radical" or even "antisemitic" just for bringing this up because the answer is uncomfortable.

Itās wild how words change depending on whoās affected. When drugs hit Black communities, it was a ācrack epidemic.ā When drugs hit white communities, it became a āhealth crisis.ā Thatās what we call a dog whistle. The language changes when the skin color does.

Studies consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide.
