A big part of our fundraiser is helping bring Maki Yi, an extraordinary Korean Canadian artist, to TO to work with director Peter Hinton-Davis. Her insight and collaboration are vital to the play’s soul.

T-post in Sweden sent me one of their designer “readable t-shirts” for free. It’s literally a magazine-in-the-shape-of-a-shirt. Here’s me modelling it. Anything to promote literacy!

In this recent open statement about the killing of Palestinian journalists that I signed along with 243 other authors, my name is paired with Mohamed Abu Hasira, who was killed in Nov 2023 when Israeli forces targeted his home. Rest in power.

Thrilled to be on the unceded, ancestral, traditional territory of the Syilx people for the Ryga Arts Festival—I’ll keep you posted on what I’ve got going on this week. In the meantime, just enjoying this view, and the devastating beauty of my home province.

This seminal book arrived this week.
Ron Silliman’s THE ALPHABET—1000+ pages of Language poetry.
Pretty sure I’ll get through it faster than Joyce’s Ulysses, which took me 20+ years to finish (and was mostly a bore).

Good that this hateful and deeply troubled human has finally revealed her true political colours after years of presenting as a “progressive” and as a “socialist feminist.” You were never really part of the team, Meghan! True freedom means freedom for everyone.
