Recognition of a Palestinian state without meaningful action to stop the genocide taking place right now promises to be performative, at bestโ€”much like Canada's commitment to 'reconciliation' while it actively ignores and undermines its commitments to complete the TRC's 94 Calls to Action.

Through my work at the NWT Art Centre Initiative, we hosted two public gatherings in June focussed on the history and legacy of Akaitcho Hall, a residential school in Yellowknife.

Check out the amazing graphic recording of the events by Cody Fennel on our site: www.nwtartcentre.ca/akaitchohall...

From Lisa Fontaineโ€™s Winyan (Dakota word for โ€œwomanโ€) at The Winnipeg Art Gallery until June 8. โ€˜Fontaineโ€™s work centers and celebrates the beauty of Indigenous femininities as a resistance to heteropatriarchal and colonial practices.โ€™ Stunning works.

It's May in the subarctic and we just had a winter storm. When warm weather comes, it'll be a fast transition to summer. โ˜€๏ธ

Liberation Psychology: A Dialogue in the Current Moment โ€” Climate Psychology Alliance North America What is liberation psychology, and what insights does it hold for navigating the climate crisis?

As a therapist I worry about the way that current conceptualizations of mental health uphold the status quo by pathologizing individuals instead of viewing suffering as an inevitable consequence of our systems. Liberation psychology gestures towards the paradigm shift we need.

I just heard Jared Monkman on CBC North say it's going to be +5 in Fort Good Hope today. That's wild, it should be like -40 this time of year

I went to a very fun painting class last night at Saxifrage Studio. I love this corner with a little fried egg and a string of Les Thompson red devil lures, maybe?
