Thinking again of how so many of the most interestingly engaging, nuanced, flawed, and lovable male characters in SFF are written by women. Especially thinking of men in this category defined by their relationships with masculinity and the patriarchies of their worlds.

Same as it ever was, but Canadians truly need to wake up to the violence this so-called country actively outfits and profits from (and always has).
From timber for slave ships to armoured vehicles for ICE, this country is built on and funded by genocide.

If you're outside Alberta, talking about this issue will help. This article explains what's happening and also gives further context with how the UCP also used the notwithstanding clause to legislate striking teachers back to work, taking rights away from them
