“This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. 1/3

I know the world is bruised and bleeding, and though it is important not to ignore its pain, it is also critical to refuse to succumb to its malevolence. Like failure, chaos contains information that can lead to knowledge—even wisdom. Like art.” - Tony Morrison 2/3

Oh wow! Make sure you read the accounts of how women journalists in Canada have been targeted. This doesn’t surprise me but it is sobering.

1/🚨Digital war on women journalists🚨. Over the last 5 years, 3,400 violations against women journalists have been documented by Women Press Freedom. 10% have involved vicious online attacks—from relentless trolling to AI-driven deepfakes. Canada (45), the US (43), and Pakistan (40) were where journalists were most affected. These attacks are not just silencing voices, they are driving women out of journalism entirely.

Tonight while returning home from the drone show at Waterloo Park, I was shot in the face with a firework. Intentionally. I am a little singed, but not significantly injured. I was shot at multiple times and hit once. This firework insanity has to stop. @citywaterloo @WRPSToday

Reflecting today on #IndigenousPeoplesDay. This #Beyond94 resource from @CBC tracks progress toward #TruthandReconciliation. What do we all share? Water. Water is sacred and its stewardship must be at the heart of our efforts. cbc.ca/newsinteractives/beyo…
