"If we talk about birds, I hope, maybe we'll remember how to talk to each other joyfully and hopefully. Maybe we'll remember how to listen to each other and hear something other than the sound of raptors closing in." @tithenai

Our first amazing spotlight 🌟 for July is on artist, @chai. Zen is a writer & poet whose work sometimes is about simple observations, and other times explores frameworks for healing beyond history. We love her work! Read her full interview on our website: eastendarts.ca/july-east-end…

Today, playing a video game where you’re a writer instead of actually writing, count as writing.

Toronto spends 3.1 million dollars on policing a DAY. 1/3 of that figure alone could house/ pay the rent of over 80+ houseless people for over a year.
But Toronto would rather criminalize people for being houseless in a park.
One day of policing $ could house everyone there.

Y'all gotta quit lying to young writers and telling them they need to write everyday. Nah, y'all need to go watch a movie. Listen to folklore. Talk to your friends. That's what's going to make the work sing. I think we forget that being a human is central to being an artist too.

A Stats Canada report estimated that up to 80% of police responses to calls were related to issues of mental health, drug overdose, suicide, domestic dispute/domestic violence & other ‘non-criminal’ offences.
If police are not trained to handle these issues, why are they sent?

If we become complacent, we'll lose what we have. And I don't mean that to scare people. Young people can't stop fighting. I know it's exhausting & I know there's so many other things you're dealing with..The things we've fought for are not entrenched." -Storyteller, Fran Odette
