Honoured to receive a Recommender Grant from for Writers from @ontarioarts.bsky.social (recommended by @thewalrus.ca).

The grant supports a deeply personal project about my 10yr journey with Ramiro Gonzales, exploring grief, justice, mercy, evil, and the complicated beauty of being human. #uccan

130 people from the east end of Toronto showed up today to learn about the state of homelessness in Toronto.

Did you know the median age of women who die on the street is 36!? 🤯

Really stoked that my friend and colleague Alexa Gilmour has secured the NDP nomination for Parkdale-High Park. Now…just waiting for an election…
