Showing sensitivities or vulnerabilities doesn't make you less of a man.

In my first piece for the @nytimes, I write about the stereotypical perception of 'manhood,' maintaining male relationships, and my own struggle with emotional intimacy.

When homelessness rose in the Tri-Cities, one resident, Macarthy Whyzel, hit the street with snack packs and water.

He didn't know the impact his work would have. Or, that it would inspire others to join his cause.

For years, the @Kwikwetlem First Nation have been working to restore salmon to the river, which previously sustained their people for thousands of years.

A little (local) news from me:

A dozen sockeye salmon — including eight in one day — have returned to the Coquitlam River this year, surpassing the previous high of 11 from 2006.

And leading to some hope on the river.

📕 I wrote a book! UNDER THE WHITE GAZE combines scholarship, today's headlines, and my gripes with the industry to unpack why people of colour are too often missing or misrepresented in Canadian journalism.

Out Sept. 16 with UBC Press's Purich. Preorder:

It is so freaking cool to see Hell of a Ride in WHITEHORSE. (Spotted at the wonderful @MacsFireweed. Thanks to @joshkozelj27 for the keen eye!)

Also, I don’t mind the company of Messi, Pamela, and Donovan Bailey… 😏

[Josh Kozelj @joshkozelj27]

You can buy it online or in many book stores! https://t.co/ytBIVxZs8q

"I did it because I was twenty-three and restless, and in need of a direction... Perhaps I wanted the change because I often felt I didn't belong."

Pick up a copy of @martin_bauman's Hell of a Ride! It's a great memoir and larger exploration in mental health, especially for men.

“I’ve done the math, right now, they’re operating at about 3.5 cents per mile.”

For @outsidemagazine, I examine the pros and cons of using Crocs (yes, Crocs) as a daily running shoe.

And why some runners are using them for marathons.

@joshkozelj27 and I recently published this piece almost a year after we started it in @jwsthomson's environment class. Lots of work, but super happy with the results especially because I illustrated the infographic. Also, thanks to @bearconflicts

@bychrischeung Aww thanks Chris!! It was so great catching up the other day :)

[Josh Kozelj @joshkozelj27]

@AthIllustrated @TheTyee Hahaha aww you are too kind!

[Josh Kozelj @joshkozelj27]

This fellowship is the best!!

The Hummingbird, truly, helped my career in many ways — in so many ways that I don't have enough characters on this site to describe!

The folks @TheTyee are incredible. If you're interested in writing, storytelling, journalism, apply!

[Christopher Cheung ✍️ (Find me on Bluesky!) @bychrischeung]

We were so pleased to host @joshkozelj27 at @thetyee last year as our first Hummingbird Fellow!

We're offering the opportunity again and it is paid, for six months, and for students and early journos. Come work with people like these two giggling fools:

One year after qualifying for Western States, Jenny Quilty is going back to a gnarly 100-miler in Thailand, with the hope of returning to the pinnace of 100 mile racing.

For @trailrunnermag, I wrote about Quilty's rise on the pro trail running circuit.

Jeffry Hernández supported his family in Guatemala by picking cucumbers in an Abbotsford greenhouse.

For three years, he says his employer financially, physically and verball abused him.

“There’s disappointment,” said Dr. Warren, who was then Quest’s vice-president, academic. “But I wouldn’t say it was a shock.”

After Quest University suspended operations in April, I wrote about how faculty and students are faring for @UA_magazine.
