Watching the last episode of Mo and it is so emotional: the trauma inflicted on Arabs and Palestinians in particular is unforgivable. It will never be remedied. Never.

The Canadian establishment that lost its mind over a protest passing by Mount Sinai hospital has been entirely quiet over a Canadian company selling Nazi T-Shirts for the English world's most famous, out Nazi. I wrote about this and asked the question: why? noraloreto.substack.com/p/instrument...

That’s not all: as @ayoub.bsky.social has been reporting, the West is enabling Israel’s bombardment of Lebanon and whatever the fuck else they’re doing in Syria that no one is talking about in the media. Arab lives don’t apparently matter, all the BS about international law and human rights a lie.

In many countries including Australia, NZ, the UK & Canada, authors also get paid regularly for library use of their books. It’s called the Public Lending Right scheme here, though it has several names globally. It doesn’t exist in the USA, so their authors do miss out on that compensation, alas.

Neil Finn is one of our greatest living songwriters, and you can fight me on that: "It's hard to let go Of all that we know As I walk away from you Hurled from my home Into the unknown As I walk away from you The sun always sets With no room for regrets As I walk away from you..."

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 yrs ago today. See his timeless wisdom on the true meaning of “progress.” “If you stick a knife 9 inches in & take it out 6—that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound. They wont even admit the knife is there.”

Friday 🇨🇦 music picks time! This week: a couple picks from my fellow NSCAD alumni, the boys who put Halifax, NS on the map, Sloan. One of the things that made NSCAD in the 90s an exciting place to study: the art college fostered most of the best bands of that scene. #FridayMusicPicks

I have said it all but it never feels enough so I fall silent I always think if I say more something will change but it never does so live with my silence if you never ask another thing of me that will be all you have left. #WordsUnsaid @brokenspinearts.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social
