I wrote a fun piece about existential priests for Broadview Magazine !

In Canada, seniors take benzodiazepines for sleep issues for years, even decades, even though the drugs are only meant to be used short term. My feature for Maisonneuve Magazine looks at how an overburdened health care system allows for these kind of issues to slip through the cracks.

My latest for the Globe’s Indigenous Enterprise project: a look at one of the only Indigenous-led VC firms, Raven Capital.

PIECE OF THE WEEK: Pills are often prescribed to seniors as a quick fix for sleep issues, but they aren’t a sustainable solution. buff.ly/3XKqbyR (Maisonneuve Magazine ayesha habib 🇵🇸)

This exchange should be studied for a long time. The interviewer read the book, not to gain new insight, but to get angry that it wasn't written from the perspective he preferred. He expected Coates to crumble under his onslaught. But Coates didn't. That's what makes it powerful.

.Jon Stewart and Ta-Nehisi Coates discuss Coates's trip to Palestine and his revelation that "your oppression will not save you" from his book, "The Message"

My public lecture "Objectivity, Press Freedom and the Palestine Exception" was held on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Carleton J-School. Gratitude to Duncan McCue for the land acknowledgement. Indebted to Trish Audette-Longo Allan Thompson Nana aba Duncan for hosting. youtube.com/watch?v=6WCYyt…

NEW: The lie that Hamas fighters beheaded babies on October 7 helped Israel drum up support for a planned genocide. Canadian media played a role in spreading this lie, even after it was debunked. Almost none have corrected their error. readthemaple.com/media-lies-abo…

A video listing names of Palestinians killed in Gaza is 59 minutes long. It takes over a minute to get through “0 years old.” This is genocide.

Please please do not let this become normalised. every time you see an image or video of a screaming child, a burning woman, a man crying because he lost everything, sit with it. Take it in and let it fill you with grief and rage, and let that move you to demand an end to this.

"Does the average Jew know anything about the people of Palestine?" Physician and trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté answered an Israeli audience member who asked how she could 'have compassion' for the 'animals' involved in last year's 7 October attacks.

A 4-year-old girl in Gaza, left in the care of Israeli soldiers, has gone missing. When asked what happened, Israel’s military + court said they don’t have her. It’s one of 50+ cases of what HaMoked is calling “forced disappearance” from Gaza. apnews.com/article/israel…

Nothing to see here, just a 49-page UN report documenting Israel's "genocidal acts" in Gaza and its systematic use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Every person or child martyred is a universe extinguished. Every martyr was someone’s entire world. The heaviness of these moments are unbearable and incomprehensible. For the genocide in Gaza to continue while the world watches, feels like the end of the world as we know it.

If I die, I am not a number, I am a planet in itself, I have dreams and ambitions that I wanted to achieve. Don't forget me in your prayers and keep talking about me

"My name is Mahmoud Khalil and I am a political prisoner. I am writing to you from a detention facility in Louisiana where I wake to cold mornings and spend long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against . many people precluded from the protections of the law"

The health ministry has released a 1,516–page document listing the names of over 50,000 Palestinians confirmed killed in Gaza since Oct 7, 2023. There are a total of 474 pages listing 15,600+ children’s names. The first 27 pages the age is listed as 0 — children under 1 year old

not even all the Palestinians killed since the Nakba but just in the last 18 months. in tiny font and in 2 columns. the scale of this genocide is unfathomable.

There is no one size fits all approach to grief. But is diagnosing and medicating extreme grief the right approach? I looked into it for The Walrus:

I went to Montreal to watch the first UFC fight in Canada since Trump’s re-election, where political tensions played out in the Octagon and Pierre Poilievre made an appearance.
