🔴 In two years of war, over 223 Palestinian journalists have been killed in #Gaza in the deadliest period in the history of journalism. As journalists, unionists and, ultimately, humans, we cannot accept that reporters are killed amid indifference, be that in Gaza or elsewhere.

Rae Spoon @raespoon.bsky.social tells @tombeedham.bsky.social about why they’re returning to their country roots, the genre’s fraught relationship to marginalized communities, and their queered cover of the class (im)mobility anthem “Friends In Low Places” : newfeeling.ca/2025/08/08/r...

"The burden of making live music safer under #COVID falls overwhelmingly on the shoulders of the disabled & immunocompromised, who are actively building community & resisting their abandonment by public & industry policy that wants to plow ahead without them": newfeeling.ca/2025/08/08/c...

"The burden of making live music safer under COVID falls overwhelmingly on the shoulders of the disabled and immunocompromised, who are actively building community and resisting their abandonment by public and industry policy that wants to plow ahead without them." PHENOMENAL article.

I did my best to push back on my book being "trans memoir" as it's about many things, but most of all how my life was formed by labour. I got my first job @ 13. I was a journeyman Glazier @ 21. I wasn't a writer (or a trans) until my 30s. Celebrate Labour Day by reading about labour 🔗: is.gd/E42lih

Happy Labour Day! In our latest issue, @therewasnosound.bsky.social wrote about how the ongoing pandemic continues to profoundly impact working-class musicians and arts workers despite its erasure from the public consciousness. newfeeling.ca/2025/08/08/c...

supporting independent lefty media and leftist journalists is the only way we counteract the flood of garbage spewing from the right, center, and pseudo-left. it sucks we don’t have access to those unlimited money fountains, but we still gotta keep going

STORY CALL - please share I’m working on a story for @thegrindto.bsky.social and looking to explore how Ontario music venue owners and concert organizers are adapting to Bill 10, which holds landlords and staff criminally liable for drug activity on their properties. DM or @ me here to connect

The article I was born to write. the time I did a deep dive into the history of Black rock music in Ontario, Canada for @newfeelingcoop.bsky.social . I only wish i had written it earlier while Eric Mercury was alive newfeeling.ca/2023/08/31/d...

In our latest issue, Alexia Bréard Anderson talks with artist and curator Shaunt Raffi about his Kensington Market venue Tapestry, his roots in politics, and the difference between art and entertainment: newfeeling.ca/2025/08/08/i...

long before Bugland, we handed @nojoy.bsky.social 's Jasamine White-Gluz a disposable camera and she gave us a window into her lockdown life (ft. cats, nature, Montreal construction cones) newfeeling.ca/2020/12/27/n...

It pairs well with @therewasnosound.bsky.social’s article regarding the class disparity in the music industry where “many A-list artists & their teams still quietly take extensive precautions” & avoiding mentioning COVID since it’s being written out of touring insurance policies.

A groundbreaking new report has just revealed a pipeline of hundreds of ongoing arms shipments from Canada to Israel and the government's web of lies over the last 21 months. Read it and act now - we can’t let a single MP off the hook. #ArmsEmbargoNow armsembargonow.ca/report

Wrote about @vishkhanna.bsky.social's KREATIVE KONTROL reaching 1000 episodes, & how he's built+sustained a podcast that treats both guests and listeners with care With insights from @katebeaton.bsky.social, @youvechanged.bsky.social & Fugazi's Brendan Canty www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/article...

Happy 1000th episode to @vishkhanna.bsky.social's Kreative Kontrol, which has filled the alt-weekly void by creating a space where rising artists are put on the same pedestal as your indie-rock heroes. Here's a great retrospective by @chrisdeville.bsky.social: www.stereogum.com/2316920/vish...

"It is through tight-knit support networks of passionate artists and fans that [extreme metal] has been able to survive, evolve, and thrive despite the indifference it faces from the wider music industry" - @danielgwilson.bsky.social newfeeling.ca/2022/10/03/m...
