The long-anticipated anti-trans laws in Alberta are here and passed first reading in the legislature this afternoon ... and they're just as bad as expected! tiktok.com/@xtramagazine/…

"I’m painfully aware that every time I talk about our shortcomings when covering Palestine...I lose 'credibility.' I silently agreed not to talk about Palestine in exchange for a 'viable' career in journalism. No longer." My Toronto Star op-ed today: thestar.com/news/insight/t…

Among all the elections doomsdaying, it's a good time to read Kai Cheng, MSW, MSc, QMed, Extremist for Love on how we can survive when it feels like the entire world is crumbling. xtramagazine.com/health/survive…

Read Rebecca Solnit and absorb that hope is not a bird in the sky you hope lands near you, it’s an active orientation. You find it in the care for someone else or something else outside of yourself. It’s bigger than you. It’s an act of cultivation. Rub two sticks together.

Reminder that if you're going ... elsewhere, our award-winning LGBTQ2S+ journalism is over on the other place too 💙☁️

If you needed another reminder that Ziya Jones is one of the best reporters on trans issue in this country, here's their follow-up with one of the moms from our Chatelaine collab with Xtra on Alberta's newly introduced anti-trans laws: xtramagazine.com/health/trans-h…

As we talk about Alberta's new bills that target trans youth, I hope we keep in mind that they have real consequences for real families. I spoke with one mother about how her family has been doing since the legislation was introduced last week: xtramagazine.com/health/trans-h…

The most engagement I get on Twitter these days seems to be from people who want to say horrible stuff so…time to make an exit plan. Gonna try out using Bluesky more, so find me on there if you’re on it!

My latest investigation is out today in Ricochet Media and Pivot. Despite provincial and municipal short-term rental regulations, hundreds of apartments are available to rent in contravention of the law, seemingly unimpeded. ricochet.media/justice/housin…

Some good media news: Xtra is hiring! We're looking for an associate editor with a keen eye for LGBTQ2S+ culture stories (that span film, TV, music, the online world, etc). Must be Canadian and have knowledge of queer and trans issues. 💫 linkedin.com/jobs/view/4076…

Alright I ostensibly have the same reach on the other platform now, so find me there [email protected] . I’ll check back here every so often to make sure I’m not missing anything huge, but that’s prob otherwise it for me👋🏻

I'll be participating in this for Xtra with Ziya Jones. We'll be looking for pitches on politics, activism, culture and health.
