I wrote a very brief piece on Métis and RCMP Relations to help spoil the party of the colonial cops' 150th birthday, at the request of the National (anti)RCMP Research Council.

Just a reminder that I started a co-working/ body-double Discord for folks doing academic work while neurodiverse, or even folks working from home who benefit from seeing other people working. It's not super active but if anyone wants to be added lmk!

54 potential children's graves found on 2 Residential schools located on the Keeseekoose First Nation. This winter keeps getting darker and gloomier. I'm finding myself looking out my window, in silence.
I don't have any children but they're all our children.

The Farm Boy in downtown Ottawa decided to close its doors as the number of protestors grow. The man in the vest says they’re closing up because he has young workers inside who feel uneasy. Other businesses choosing to stay open are filling up with people wearing no masks.

I wrote about the trauma plot, who is allowed to be a victim in art and life, the neoliberal urge to focus on the individual instead of the community, and writers' responsibility to their audience for my column this month. Give it a read and a think.

In Alberta, a leader of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation says an ongoing blockade at the Alberta–U.S. border shows a double standard when it comes to Indigenous protests.
Chief Allan Adam believes the protestors would have been arrested if they were Indigenous.
