Now more than ever Art should be political. Let’s make BlueSky a place where radical art, music, poetry flourishes, circulates, and is shared.

Ryan DOES pay too much, because of unfair legal rules allowing MB landlords to permanently jack up rents and their profits by claiming to pass on temporary repair costs to renters. Minister Sandhu and the NDP govt needs to fulfill their promise to end outrageous rent hikes & protect tenants.

Thanks to @bpincott.bsky.social for outlining these thoughts on yesterday's hearing. I'll be thinking about the experience for a while. The three words that keep circling in my head: process as violence. A slow and violent death where we choose parking over people, for eternity.

Alternate team-workshoped titles: Granite board misses the mark; spare us the controversy, housing rocks; hurry hard for affordable housing. You get the idea.

Do you curl at the Granite Curling Club, or know someone who does?

Contact me if you'd like to sign the Granite members' letter IN SUPPORT of the proposed affordable housing development on the west side. People Over Parking!

Giller Foundation, lead sponsor Scotiabank end partnership The foundation that administers the Giller Prize didn’t say why the partnership ended, but the sponsorship has recently come under fire over a Scotiabank subsidiary’s investment in an Israeli arms com...

Huge news! πŸŽ‰

Giller Prize, one of Canada's largest literary prizes, has cut ties with lead sponsor Scotiabank after one year of literary community protesting the bank’s ties to Elbit, Israeli arms manufacturer.

BDS works! We have power wherever we are.

and, as always, some of the most targeted during resurgences of economic nationalism and economic protectionism are migrants (esp migrant workers and refugees). this is *exactly* what the stabilization of capitalism requires. because insourcing & outsourcing are flipsides of the same capitalist coin

Really concerned that the primary Canadian reaction to tariffs seems to be doubling down on nationalism and capitalism. Other worlds are possible ‡️

There have to be other ways to talk about political community inside nation-states without invoking nationalism. How about collective responsibility to those whom we share nothing in common with beyond the sanctity of life and geography? Let’s take the opportunity to invent new social relations.
