Love this. So much.

After 142 consecutive days of yoga, can confirm.

How much "loss" do fire departments report annually? Police? The armed forces? Roads? Schools? Solid waste collection? Wastewater treatment? Public health agencies?

YOUR FOES WOULD SEE YOU SLEEPLESS: RESIST AND REST.

Is that the admin building between Werkland and the Arts tower? It looks really good!

These Middle Eastern News Sites Are Actually U.S. Government Propaganda Operations Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News publish pro-U.S. coverage about the war on Iran and the Trump administration’s plan to redevelop Gaza.

NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command.

A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.”

Canada's Covid strategy has been to not talk about Covid and vaguely encourage people to suffer quietly.

CBC investigation finds grocers Loblaw, Sobeys overcharging for underweight meat — again | CBC News A CBC News secret shopping investigation has — once again — uncovered how several Loblaw-owned and Sobeys-affiliated stores are overcharging for underweight meat, despite claims last year that the gro...

Grocery giants just can’t help themselves.

Underweight meat. Overweight profits.

Canadians are sick and tired of being ripped off.

A public option for groceries is overdue.

The other thing is that in a gig economy there is no degree that promises a good career anymore, not because you should have studied computer science or social media management instead of history or Russian literature, but because there are no careers

anyone who says people opposing data centers are just nimbys need to stop echoing industry propaganda and see what it’s actually like to live near one

Giller Prize is no longer partnered w Indigo Books, Azrieli Foundation & Scotiabank

In 2023, comrades were arrested protesting the Giller. Then, thousands of writers & book workers refused participation.

Giller has now separated from all genocide-invested sponsors.

"Colonialism was never about civilization. It was never about progress. It was violence organized, justified, and repeated until it looked normal." Frantz Fanon #quote #quotes

I can't believe we have reached this point, but this bears crystal clear emphasis: Our global climate system ensures that even "limited" use of lower-yield "tactical" nuclear weapons against civilian or industrial targets would have major regional-to-global scale consequences.

Just a reminder that Criterion Channel currently hosts 23 films from Iran, including masterpieces from Jafar Panahi, Abbas Kiarostami, and Forugh Farrokhzad's incomparable The House is Black (1963), as well as others. Any of these will be time well spent.

to imagine back on that beautiful blue orb that makes all of this unique life possible we can’t stop bombing and killing one another, it’s terribly sad

A graphic that reads: Source request: What does it look like when we let trans people thrive? When public systems support trans people? When health care is free and accessible, and spaces are affirming? What are the solutions for making trans lives better? What could trans utopia look like? I am looking for specific stories of trans people from all walks of life across Canada who’ve been given space to not only survive, but thrive. People who are interested in speaking about how certain policies, systems, or resources have made their lives easier and better as trans people. Is this you or someone you know? Pop me an email at: mel.woods@xtramagazine.com

I'm working on a large print feature for later this year that asks a big question:

What does it look like when we let trans people thrive?

I'm looking to talk to a few everyday trans people from across Canada about what that idea means to them.

A friendly reminder that feeling unsafe doesn’t mean we’re in actual danger.

If the sight of poverty makes you uncomfortable, because suspicious, please call for a stronger social safety net, not for increased policing.
