Special thanks to @sarahkrichel.bsky.social for introducing me, an elder millennial, to the world of cat soap operas for this essay on AI slop nostalgia and how the recent past feels quaint now 🥹 thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

can a psychiatrist tell me why 'meow meow meow _meeeow_' invokes unironic nostalgia in me for the days of innocent, time-passing tech use? gen AI used to be slop, now it's normalized at best and indiscernible at worst. I wrote about why that's terrifying for @thetyee.ca's Weekender edition 😿💻

am so overdue but never too late to catch up on the Review of Journalism 📰✨ the talented Jay Ashdown interviewed me about combatting online abuse with @thetyee.ca. as events in the U.S. threaten journalists here in Canada, Jay's report captures a key moment: reviewofjournalism.ca/dont-read-th...

I (with significant help from @sarahkrichel.bsky.social ) made a TikTok! Based on my recent-ish article about Sisters Sage soap company in Vancouver. www.tiktok.com/@the_tyee/vi...

“The day after I won the Canadian Screen Award, I called the PR reps: ‘What are we doing?’ And it was, ‘I’m sorry to say, nothing.’ No press. If you want to be an actor, the industry tells you, go be a lead. Win an award. Where are the growth opportunities?” www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/televis...

in a cross-over episode between @thetyee.ca's diversity and audience teams, I've been leading our much-needed reader survey! by this Friday, tell us what you want more (or less) of, and you might even win some Tyee goodies 🗞✨

Whether the Online News Act funding persists may depend on the outcome of Monday’s election vote, since the Conservatives circulated a petition slamming the law, blaming Meta’s counterpunch on Liberals who “created chaos and eliminated news from the social media feeds of Canadians.” #CdnElxn2025

“‘Novelette Is Trying’ is a meditation on those unsexy, in-between moments of life itself.”

"It’s starting to feel like even my fantasies can’t keep up the fantasies." What a neat piece by @sarahkrichel.bsky.social on escapism in an age of content saturation, and why reality TV has such a hold on Gen Z. thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

The @thetyee.ca's Weekender is now up! ☔️ On the cover: an excellent essay by @melwoods.me that helps us make sense of the social media shift taking place right now. Working on this piece sparked a weird side quest to Understand Mark Zuckerberg (I may never). 🧵 thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

I love this essay by @sarahkrichel.bsky.social so much. 🐾 A beautiful piece on digital ash, digital urns, and the increasingly blurry borders between our online archives and the stuff of real life, all of which can be heightened while navigating loss. thetyee.ca/Culture/2024...

for @thetyee.ca’s Weekender, I wrote about saying goodbye to my childhood dog, documentation culture, and how technology shapes our grief 📸🐾 thetyee.ca/Culture/2024...

“Some people will call me a TikToker or an influencer, and they mean it in a disparaging way. It just means that I understand the future of communication. Journalism is a craft, not so much a medium. If you’re adhering to journalistic principles, you can do it in any form.” ✨
