I really liked this Reanna Julien story about a Toronto tattoo shop that specializes in inking darker skin.

“We want people to come in here and feel good about coming into a space that’s welcoming.”

(Great pics by Nick Lachance (he/him), too.)

I wrote about post-custody homelessness in Ontario -- the cycle between jails and the streets, and a rising number of inmates (~1 in 5!) being knowingly released with 'no fixed address.' Read about the crisis here, via The Globe and Mail: theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
