Thanks to @literaryhub.bsky.social for the dubious honour of being mentioned in their “What Was Literary Twitter?” bracket, in which “literary hats” were swiftly beaten by “the world is crap.” Oh well!

Excited to share this article I wrote for CBC Arts about the new line of fragrances from Haitian-born Montreal artist Manuel Mathieu, how it taps into the rising cultural relevance of perfume, and how scent is filtering into the rest of his practice!

Acclaimed for his paintings, this artist is now exploring the world of scent | CBC Arts
When Manuel Mathieu arrived in Paris, he secretly hoped to become a ‘nose.’ Now, the Haitian Canadian artist has launched a brand of perfumes inspired by his scent memories.

Check out this fantastic researched feature on how the internet has changed feminist health activism by my lovely partner, @desiredpaths.bsky.social!
It's almost the weekend, and we have a Friday Feature to share!

In our upcoming Spring issue, @desiredpaths.bsky.social dives into the history of medical information-sharing amongst AFAB patients and asks "has the internet killed feminist health activism?"

Devastated to learn of the tragic and untimely passing of Joshua Clover. His revolutionary intelligence and conviction (and great sense of humor) will be missed.

Lately, my Spotify seems borderline obsessed with the idea that, after any music that I have currently chosen, I will want to hear “It’s Gonna Take an Airplane” from Destroyer’s classic 2004 album Your Blues. I regret to report that the algorithm has me dead to rights 😔

I heard about the DC helicopter plane crash last night and asked if Trump had blamed "woke" yet. Woke up to find that he had 😩

I'm so sorry I can't stop laughing. OpenAI, the company built on stealing literally the entire internet, is crying because DeepSeek may have trained on the outputs from ChatGPT. They're crying their eyes out. What a bunch of hypocritical little babies. Cry more, freaks.
