Gas is skyrocketing, fertilizer is strained, plastic is under threat. Turns out this was an oil-punk dystopia all along, just with lame Patagonia Gore-Tex jackets instead of cool aviator goggles and top hats.

Could the news stop breaking for an hour or two, please.

The 2026 NeverNude awareness campaign hits different.

In the US, they’ve scrapped the rule to consult the public before repealing regulations. Up here, our government is gearing up to fast-track big projects. Speed’s great, but skipping the people most affected? That comes with a cost. I put my two cents into the debate at @policyoptions.irpp.org.

Thrilled to share this new article I co-authored with Megan Linton! We explore the ways that Canadian disability housing policy is 'haunted' by systemic ableism. Read it to discover how Canada continues to exclude, eliminate and extract from people with disabilities through supported housing.
