@merriam-webster.com just released the first new print edition of its Collegiate Dictionary in 22 years — and it weighs five pounds! So of course, I had questions. :)
In today's podcast, I talk with @petersokolowski.bsky.social about why print still matters.

The Undesirables: A History of Rockhead Prison is the revealing story of Rockhead, an imposing structure that was located on Gottingen (now Novalea) and Leeds Streets in Halifax. Nestled in with the industrial, working-class North End, for many residents, their backyards were adjacent to the prison.

Woody The Talking Tree has awakened from his slumber to usher in another Christmas season.
While he may seem slightly unsettling, all Woody asks for is Cinnabon sacrifices.
But where did he come from?

Please stop marketing anything Wuthering Heights related as a great love story.

Today is National Indigenous Veterans Day.
This day honours the contributions of the First Nations, Inuit and Metis who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.
They fought for Canada despite being denied rights by the country.
This is the story of some of those veterans.

On this day in 1946, Viola Desmond's car broke down in New Glasgow, NS. She went to a movie and sat in a Whites-Only area. Her refusal to move helped spark the modern Canadian civil rights movement.

In many places, these covenants banning multi-unit housing served to perpetuate exclusion and class segregation after racially discriminatory clauses became unenforcable. They continue to keep apartment dwellers out of some of Halifax's most walkable, centrally located neighbourhoods.
As Halifax deals with a housing crisis, some of the wealthiest Haligonians have a different concern. Residents of some south-end peninsula neighbourhoods are concerned about “losing single-family density”
(Aside: I would definitely not call these the “final” hurdles to development)
