For over 50 years, we’ve been part of Canadian freezers, family moments, and late-night cravings. 🍁

Chapman’s Markdale Creamery ice cream continues that tradition with 100% Canadian dairy and the thoughtfully crafted flavours you grew up with.

A tradition worth slicing into.

#BlueSkyVets When a figure as iconic as Rev. Jesse Jackson passes away, the loss reverberates through communities of color in a way that is both deeply personal and profoundly collective.

He will forever be remembered for his Keep Hope Alive speech!

Grief hit like gravity. Physics reminded me: energy doesn’t disappear — it transforms.

I used to say I lost her.
Now I say she changed states.

I wrote about it on Substack, if you want to read. #Pinks #Momsky

More than 10,000 works were stolen by russia from the Kherson Regional Art Museum during the occupation.

Last week, I visited an exhibition featuring art prints of some of the stolen pieces.
You’ve already seen a few of them in my letter.

Here’s a short video.

I'm gonna tell ya, when celebrities of the generation before you die in old age, it really nudges you toward deep reflection of your own mortality. And yet, getting to old age before dying is a miracle and privilege. Grateful for every day, the glorious ones and the messy ones.
RIP Tom Hagen.
