Trying it over here on a platform not run by a shady mega-dude. I write for @theglobeandmail.com & wrote a book about the Holocaust and intergenerational trauma called Kiss the Red Stairs: The Holocaust, Once Removed. Looking forward to civil interactions.

In today's @theglobeandmail.com I wrote about publishing a book about the Israel-Gaza war as it still rages - killing thousands of Palestinians, hostages still in captivity, Gaza in pieces, and Israelis marching in the street calling for an end to it.

What a joy to contribute to this @theglobeandmail.com 101 Canadian albums feature, even if I am slightly gutted that some of my picks didn't make it (eg. Tom Cochrane's Mad Mad World). Have a listen to some great Canadian music. We could all use it these days.

It is killing me that in this economy, I have to pay the @cityofvancouver.bsky.social $250 for forgetting to tell them on time (I was a few days late) that I live in my (tiny, heavily mortgaged) home and that it is not indeed empty. My bad, but come on!
