A lot of new followers, so I will present myself again to those who don't know me.
Hi! Hello! I'm Yara, a writer based in Montréal, Canada. I'm a columnist/culture journalist on a little break for a project coming out real soon—not a baby. I'm funny and petty, and I interact with everyone.

I'm about to rescind my subscription to the NYTimes because they've been calling Mamdani's platform far-left, and as far as I know, rent freezing and no-cost childcare are not far-left.
Get a grip.

So basically, if you've heard of the 3, you are either too connected or you hate them with a passion.

At the newsletter right now: A Texas woman was just released from jail after five months - FOR A MISCARRIAGE.
While she was jailed, the county turned her fetal remains over to a crisis pregnancy center - which then named the fetus and gave it a public funeral.

Yes, the media’s Biden coverage was flawed. But its reporting on Trump was far worse | Margaret Sullivan
A new book has fueled controversy over press handling of the ex-president’s decline. But that distracts from a bigger problem

Yes, I wrote about Arcade Fire again.
Opinion: Arcade Fire announced the release of their latest album, Pink Elephant, in the most casual of ways. Every post on social media, every lyric of their newest single, is a downplay of the serious allegations against Butler. By @yaraelsoueidi.bsky.social
