Between the nuclear waste burial proposals and the constant pressure on mining the Ring of Fire, everyone should have their eyes on Northern Ontario.

If you only want people to heal on YOUR terms (looking at you, harm reduction opposers) you don't actually give a shit about their healing-- you give a shit about power over others.

I’ve agreed to do a zoom presentation on CANDRIP (Bill C-15) Draft Action-Plan, to a group in Thunder Bay on April 27th!

“Academia and activism should co-exist,” says Dr. Blackstock, a professor in McGill University’s school of social work. “Academic freedom provides us with a space to stand in the wings of discrimination in a way that’s not available to other people.”

So excited about my new job as research assistant at ONWA. I spent the last few years juggling service jobs, school, and community work. I'm not looking to slow down, but it's a breath of fresh air to plant my feet in such a great organization.

Internal communications show Thunder Bay Police leaders telling officers not to watch our upcoming Crave series "Thunder Bay."
It's disingenuous for acting chief Dan Taddeo to suggest we're being "unfair."
Leadership has refused every interview request we've presented since 2020

Made my first wiigwas mukuk today with Gail Bannon of Fort William First Nation. Enjoying this time I’m taking to learn new things and create intentionally ✨

How I'll miss you, @tripgore.

Beautifully stubborn ’til the very end, Jeff Barnaby was bold in his life and his work. He bore a sensitivity, poignancy and depth within him, that translated through his films and resonated with audiences Indigenous and non-Native alike.

[John Christou @johnchristou]

I'm heartbroken over the loss of my dear friend Jeff. He was surrounded by love in his last days. Please send all your love to his wife Sarah and his son Miles.

The “I need a DSLR to learn and practice photography” mindset needs to be unlearned.

For those now designing syllabi, a plug for my @PlutoPress book Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire. It's
1. Short (100p)
2. Accessibly written
3. About something students encounter everyday
4. A path to talk about empire, capitalism, race, and globalization.

As our daughter grapples with the experience in her mind, we continue to make time to move through it with her. To play. To talk. To cry. To feel.

My partner is incredible and I’m so grateful he is still here.

[sam @sarmcpherson]

our grief, our pain; it has never been enough. i hope that bride + those cops are seeing it today. i hope, but i am not naïve enough to believe it will make a difference. this is another in a ever-growing list of lives snuffed out by systemic hatred.

i am so tired today.

Sachigo Lake First Nation speaks out regarding member Eva Whiskeyjack, who died by suicide in Thunder Bay on July 8.
The community calls for Thunder Bay to “follow your children’s lead” in honouring those who have ended their lives in despair and to hold police accountable.
