All Canadians need to read the new US National Security Strategy. U.S and Canadian media aren't doing a good job on reporting on it. And, we certainly can't count on the American people reading it. (Sorry, but true)

An incredible opportunity to learn from the best.

So I'm now on a temporary layoff as VIVOS fundraises just to survive. Carney promised support of the arts and we'll see soon if that promise is kept, but if you care about media archives, consider donating this 52yr Canadian artist-run-centre and its archive! www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/136539

Politicians didn't take American liquor off the shelves - citizens demanded it. Canadians aren't just boycotting the US because of your unreasonable tariffs they are boycotting because you are being run by an unstable authoritarian.

Cycle tracking next, I presume. What a bunch of scared little White boys.

The Vancouver Queer Film Festival #VQFF is coming up this month with in-person and online programming. There are also events, talks, and parties with special guests including Vico Ortiz from #OFMD, Lea Delaria (Orange is the New Black) and many more.

For Vancouver peeps: Saturday at VIVO: formscape.art

That was not a woman’s body; it was a prepubescent girl’s body.

Such a great initiative! Workers in all industries (and government workers especially) should be doing the same.

America? Hello? Are any of you out there? You're pretty damn quiet!

Need advice from all my archivist friends: Compliment? Or warning?

Congratulations to our 2025 ACA Awards winners! Pictured here at our ceremony held at #ACA2025 are: Patti Bannister, Elder Albert McLeod, Loryl MacDonald, Gordon Burr, and Lara Wilson. Congratulations to all!

“I will be conducting my ethnic cleansing operation in the decadent cities that are the stronghold of the disloyal cosmopolitans.”

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

People need belongings to survive: shelter, medical goods, clothing, food. We’re suing the City of Vancouver because their cruel bylaws violate the right to life, liberty, and personal security. These new restrictions are dehumanizing and discriminatory. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/05/16/v...

Letter from the Association of Canadian Archivists to the Hudson's Bay Company CEO concerning auction of culturally and historically important artifacts: #archives #library 📚 archivists.ca/Latest-News-...

True. Thanks for shouting out, Ben!

Today we're auctioning off unsold barrel jeans, air fryers, and the 1670 Hudson's Bay Company charter to the highest bidder.

CBC reports on the growing number of US conferences opting for hybrid events or relocating to Canada in the wake of CDN's determination to boycott travel south and the risk of crossing the border for some CDN participants. TY for being responsive to CDN concerns! www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

So hopeful for this project conceived by Maya Chacaby.Anishinaabe, Beaver Clan from Kaministiquia (Thunder Bay). A cultural learning game that fuses "virtual metaverse technologies and traditional Anishinaabe storytelling practices" towards more meaningful reconciliation. www.biskaabiiyaang.com

Great program! It's important to recognize, too, the work of community/arts archives over the last decade+, facilitating artists' creative remediation of archival materials, but definitely none with the budget or scope of records of LAC.

Koyo Kouoh, one of the global art world’s most prominent figures, who had been slated to become the first African woman to curate the Venice Biennale, died on Saturday. She was 57.

" we've lost the time to walk you through this." What ICE is doing isn't particularly new, they've just expanded the circle and their numbers.

Thank you @ptfry.bsky.social for continuing to ask questions about this program and its funding. All police programs in the DTES need complete transparency.

Another very important preservation group loses funding. Video people need to stick together (like our tapes do!) in helping each other however we can.

Elect this woman.

Posting to spread this info to US artists, and to inform Canadian artists about what's happening in that f'd up country!

Thank you ACA! So grateful Canadian archivists are united on what's happening south of us.

What to say about spectatorship when watching itself is the crime?

Wow, good on Disney for doing what seems like a proper ROCKY HORROR restoration for its 50th anniversary… variety.com/2025/film/ne...

How many times is this being repeated and where? Has someone started a database?

One of the braver things a politician has said in the midst of a campaign. Carney understands how big the cultural economy is, even if the general public doesn't. Now promise funding agencies won't be pressured to fund rah-rah Canada projects only.

‘A death blow’: Filmmakers, archivists reel as DOGE suddenly cuts their funding

Snicker...and...WHAT THE????

Made me laugh...

The US government holds a tremendous amount of data about US citizens. Now, The Trump administration is trying to access that data and link it together. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

So right.

A new exhibition of François Pain’s avant-garde videos offers a window into one radical approach to mental healthcare — and the ways it can shape an art practice.

Thank you Japanese American National Museum for doing the right thing, the only thing, memory institutions should be doing.

Yup, that's the energy!

Congratulations Sean Orr and Lucy Maloney for their decisive wins yesterday. COV says this was a 40% increase in voter turnout! Excellent job Vancouver.

Almost tempted to make another attempt at teaching myself to knit. 📜
