It’s so weird to come to social media to be like “how bout those Jays!” but simultaneously wade through the ongoing documentation of fascism in the country next door 🙃

It was very special to work with six brilliant, thoughtful Indigenous writers — Michelle Good, Julian Brave NoiseCat, Eva Jewell, Janelle Lapointe, Anna McKenzie and Riley Yesno — on this series about truth and reconciliation, in print & online for @thewalrus.ca. thewalrus.ca/truth-and-re...

The Truth of Reconciliation | The Walrus

The TRC report, released in 2015, laid out ninety-four clear Calls to Action. Ten years later, Indigenous writers reflect on what has and hasn’t been achieved

This weekend I went to a vinyl market in my local community full of record nerds of awesome and had an indie local roasted coffee after and folks — THAT is heaven on earth — even though no one had the Xanadu soundtrack.

For the evening crowd, my weekend Loonie Politics column on why most of the conversation around Canada Post's future is coming from an urban perspective, and why that can't work for a country like ours #cdnpoli

Canada Post exposes the country’s rural-urban divide - Loonie Politics

The bottom line is that Canada Post is borderline insolvent, and they have a mandate to turn a profit.

Teen Vogue is always a good read these days.

Dan Gillmor @dangillmor.bsky.social · 20d

From Teen Vogue, which is doing some of the best journalism about the extremist cult now in charge of the U.S. government:

We need to assume that every masked person kidnapping people off the street is a criminal, whether employed by the Trump regime or not.

How ICE Raids Are Making It Easier for Civilian Men to Assault Immigrant Women

"This phenomenon is only possible because of the outsized power that state agents have always had to abuse and control women and victims' bodies," argues Kylie Cheung.

If the budget does not pass this fall, it could set us up for the shortest interval between federal elections — ever. I ran the numbers, plus a lot more this week! www.thewrit.ca/p/weekly-wri...

Screen free Sunday! Mental health Monday! Next week I begin Simple Saturday where I do errands at farmers markets/actual stores and take the dog for a hike. I won't do this online check-in like I am now -- one day a week at least!

Night of the Living Ted Raymond @tedraymond.bsky.social · Sep 11

I think the internet should be turned off for everyone for one full day per week to force people to do something other than boil in their toxic stew of choice. Heck, make it two days per week. A whole weekend offline every week would do wonders for a lot of people’s mental health.
