I'm so sorry, Julianne Moore & LeUyen Pham 💔 Thank you for FRECKLEFACE STRAWBERRY. For writing, for illustrating a book for the kids with freckles, for the adults with freckles. A story insisting it's okay to be different. Your differences make you YOU 💛 pen.org/julianne-moo...

Oh my goodness, YES!

Pour yourself a coffee and spend time reading this expansive, cogent essay.

If your love language is books, as it is mine, this piece in The Guardian will make you grin in recognition. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...

From today's @policyoptions.irpp.org: "Roberts is a Canadian who saw Canada’s sovereignty crisis with the US coming [and] wrote a book about it. Canada won’t survive the turmoil in the US if the federal government can’t adapt to change, he warns." @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social is the proud publisher.

What to do with my $200 populist cash-back (out of the public purse) delivered by our premier? Give it to a hospital, the library, a foodbank, a shelter, any other place SUPPOSED to be supported by the province? Suggestions welcome!

Toronto, 9:14 PM. William Styron “Darkness Visible” vibes.

You actually have to get quite deep into this lengthier-than-normal piece to find what inspired it. I got agitated.

We will discuss, among other things, strategies of resistance under oppression and the politics of fascism ⤵️

Here’s what populist parties — from the extreme-right AfD in Germany to Trump’s Republicans to the Conservative Party of Canada — have in common: Their idea of democracy is fundamentally different from what most of us are used to. Jared Wesley explains.

No political system lasts forever—which makes adaptability key for survival. @alasdairroberts.bsky.social considers whether Canada is flexible enough to future-proof its approach to governance: thewalrus.ca/canada-has-spent...

Winnipeg come join me Friday night for this fantastic talk with @clarkkazak.bsky.social!

A course covering medical colonialism just launched at McGill University in Montreal. The course teaches students about systemic anti-Indigenous racism in Canada’s healthcare system.

💥Excited to share my new publication co-authored w/ Cameron Anderson (UWO) and Mike McGregor (TMU) on gender and emotional reactions to sexual misconduct allegations against municipal councillors. The first 50 downloads are available for free: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/VCUIM...

Didn’t think I wanted a new cat, and then.

Canadian smugness abt Trump needs to stop. There's growing momentum in support of (far) right politicians here. I am worried our so-called Liberal and progressive leaders believe that the solution is to court conservative votes using racist dog whistles. See Ruby Dhalla, candidate for LPC leader ⬇️

What he's announcing is a concentration camp. A deeply illegal, unconstitutional, anti-human rights atrocity. Anyone who supports this is complicit. Anyone in any federal service, military or otherwise, is morally obligated to refuse to carry out any orders related to this deeply criminal act.
