Throughout Canada and in some US cities, February 14 is a day of action and remembrance for Missing & Murdered Women, Girls, 2-Spirit+. #MMIWG2S+
Vancouver's march in 1992 was the first.

In the US, many Native people observe May 5, the National Day of Awareness for #MMIWR.

Did you know that not only did Jacob Tierney create โ€œHeated Rivalry,โ€ he also directed and wrote the dark comedy/psychological thriller โ€œGood Neighbours,โ€ starring Emily Hampshire, Jay Baruchel and Scott Speedman?! I wrote about it for Ghouls Magazine. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ’œ

A Small Needful Fact
Ross Gay

Is that Eric Garner worked
for some time for the Parks and Rec.
Horticultural Department, which means, perhaps, that with his very large hands, perhaps, in all likelihood, he put gently into the earth some plants which, most likely, some of them, in all likelihood, continue to grow, continue
to do what such plants do, like house and feed small and necessary creatures, like being pleasant to touch and smell, like converting sunlight into food, like making it easier for us to breathe.

DHS and MAGA are spreading propaganda claiming the Minneapolis driver tried to run over ICE. That claim is completely false. Multiple videos from different angles (recorded by people on the scene) clearly show that this did not happen. ICE killed a US citizen. Justice is required for this killing.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes 2 years ago. It's completely changed the way I travel, but I haven't let it stop me. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Though it comes with challenges, I won't let it stop me from doing what I love, including travel.

My first-ever personal essay, about rebuilding my life after being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 39. It feels deeply vulnerable to put this out in the world, but it also means a lot to have the chance to tell this story. Hereโ€™s to many years of hiking to come. #t1d

A Magnificence in You

Whatโ€™s better than Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn? I ask anyone who makes the mistake of indulging me -- and after I talk about the leopard, the romance, the jailhouse shenanigans of Bringing Up Baby, I tell them about The Philadelphia Story, its added bonus of Jimmy Stewart. I donโ€™t mention the sexism, the slut-shaming, the lecherous men, and instead I imagine Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn hanging out on the set, and I tell anyone who has made the second mistake of believing me that they were both queer, they were bisexual, didnโ€™t you know? I donโ€™t know myself, but it seems a reasonable conclusion, so I steer people that way, and maybe Iโ€™ll dream about the movie tonight, but it wonโ€™t have an abusive father or an abusive husband, but instead Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart will fall in love in black and white, and Katharine Hepburn will generously donate an egg in the sequel, when theyโ€™re ready for children. The time to make up your mind about people is never.
