I have some work in the online auction to support student and professional programming at the SFU School for the Contemporary Arts Audain Gallery. You can bid on it (and other things), or buy this elegant set of pinback buttons. www.sfu.ca/sca/events--...

A reminder that Transit Police called CBSA to detain Lucia Vega Jimenez for an unpaid transit fare.

Lucia killed herself rather than face the prospect of being sent back to Mexico where her violent partner would torture and murder her.

We are an artist-run micro-press that mainly does modest books by visual artists drawing on conceptual art, plus facsimiles and bootlegs of neglected or abandoned works. If you have something that fits with that sort of practice, let us know.

United States involvement in regime change - Wikipedia

To clarify: the U.S. has *never* really been a part of the democratic world. It has always sought to overthrow elected governments to create puppet states. (See: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...)

We ought to remember the present as a mask-off moment โ€” and plan for the future accordingly.
