🌃🌜✨ Our 23rd issue, NIGHTLIFE, is live! In it, we explore how the night is a site of struggle, where musicians and arts workers navigate economic precarity, geographic divides, legislative threats, and public health neglect. newfeeling.ca/issue-23-night…

For our latest partnership with The Grind, we wrote about what we’ve been listening to this summer, from the raucous post-punk of Gloin to the gossamer dream pop of Amy Millan: newfeeling.ca/2025/08/08/wha…

Gen Z history enthusiasts are using TikTok to reveal previously hidden stories about Partition. Sadiya Ansari reports⬇️ hyphenonline.com/2025/08/13/par…

We need more theater critics. More food critics. Architecture critics. Movie critics. People who have studied a subject and aren’t afraid to point out when art is terrible instead of just “creating content.”

It’s depressing that becoming a film critic isn’t a viable career option like it was even 15 years ago. I hate it, because reading and talking about film gives the art a cultural life beyond mere consumption. It’s like interpreting art is no longer a value in this world.

Was lucky to have a front-row seat to Sarah McLachlan's breakthrough era & her Lilith Fair brainchild when just starting my career, so it was a real trip down memory lane to write about the new film that captures Lilith's impact (& those are my original photos in the story!).

We're looking to work with more writers based in so-called Canada! Is that you? This is a rare open call for pitches. Please email [email protected] with your ideas. Include “PITCH” in your subject heading, followed by a 10-ish word headline to identify your idea.

So pleased to join this panel of smart women talking Lilith Fair on Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud recently - great chat with amil, ☽ Suzy Exposito ☾, & una rose exploring the impact of Sarah McLachlan's groundbreaking touring festival & the new documentary that gives it its due.
