  • Today some of these women can breathe again. Today some of these women feel heard. Today some of these women received some modicum of justice. Today some of these women saw that they were heard and more importantly, believed. Today some of these women as weeping with relief. Today their tormenter was sentenced to 23…

  • Happy International Women’s Day! If the last few years of chaos on this planet has brought anything of value to the world it is the new wave of feminism that is rolling through. We are organizing and activating and empowering and advocating and marching and suing and standing up and shouting and writing and photographing…

  • It has snowed, rained, and been sunny today. I legitimately did nothing but read, listen to power ballads and play Candy Crush today (I won 3 hours worth of lives. How could I waste that???

  • It’s Pink Shirt Day! We had the privilege of meeting Travis Price last week, during his 2020 tour, where he signed the T-shirt my girl is wearing today. “David Shepherd, Travis Price and their teenage friends organized a high-school protest to wear pink in sympathy with a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied [for…

  • I am sure this will get disagreements but seeing all the comments on the posts about the blockades is making me sad. People suggesting that protesters should be beaten, chased by dogs, sprayed with fire hoses, arrested, clubbed… I understand if you disagree with the blockades. I respect your frustration at being displaced and having…
