The Bay Area Reporter front page, 13 August 1998. The headline ‘No obits’ is written in red above the lead story.

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline.
It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

‘Gaza is dying. And we die with it.’

Anas al-Sharif among five Al Jazeera journalists killed by Israel in Gaza Al Jazeera staff killed in targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists near al-Shifa Hospital, Gaza City.

When you want to conduct a genocide without people seeing what you're doing, you kill all the journalists. That's exactly what Israel is doing. They just murdered 5 Al-Jazeera journalists living in a tent next to al-Shifa hospital.

Doonesbury cartoon by Garry Trudeau for August 26, 1982

Israel has been falsely characterizing Palestinian civilians as “terrorists” to justify killing them for decades.

Two fires are considered out-of-control in New Brunswick.

One outside Miramichi is continuing to burn and did jump Highway 8 - some homes have been evacauted and others are on notice.

A significant fire has also ignited and is spreading quickly in Irishtown, near Moncton.

Apropos of nothing just remembering when the IDF shot at USAID humanitarian partners, stole the USAID-funded aid, and then threatened them with a tank and when we drafted a report on this we got in trouble.

November 2024. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris.

Media blackout on the eve of an invasion the whole world has condemned, by a state that’s been willing to do a genocide on livestream. What do you think comes next? Hearing reports of intensive bombardment. They’re leveling whatever is left.

Odai, was shot by a quadcopter, and since that day he has lived in endless pain and suffering. Every day, he looks at me with eyes filled with pain and tears and asks, "How long?" I have no painkillers or even enough food to provide him.
Please help Odai, even if just a little.

BREAKING: One of the most important and prominent reporters on the ground in Gaza has been Anas Al Sharif.

He - and several other Al Jazeera journalists - have just been assassinated by Israelis forces whilst in their press tent in central Gaza.

Speechless.

The beloved Anas Al-Sharif has been murdered by the brutal occupation. We are out of words. We are beyond heartbroken. The longer we fail to stop this, the more humans will be murdered.

Odai, an innocent child, was injured by a quadcopter. He lives his days and nights between the pain of his wound and the pangs of hunger. He cries incessantly, and I am helpless, unable to provide him with medicine or even food to satisfy his hunger. Every donation may help Odai.

Battlefords Area Pride joins call to cancel controversial concert in Saskatoon Calls to cancel a controversial concert in Saskatoon are growing, as Battlefords Area Pride recently announced...

Battlefords Area Pride says allowing Sean Feucht to use city-owned space for his event directly contradicts Saskatoon’s recent declaration as an 2SLGBTQIA+ safe city. “The message to a community that already feels under attack is that it empowers people who have those hateful attitudes.”

oh goddaaaaaaamn

Hey #Yeg, it's the 50th anniversary of Prisoners Justice Day on Aug 10. Some friends and I are hosting a day of remembrance with beadwork, books, & oodles of important info about PJD, Harm Reduction, & more. A side note: my first act of resistance was a march on PJD in 1984 to the Edmonton Max.
