WAIW | Fake News From the Left?

Image contains a photo of two dogs being walked. One dog is all black and the other is a dark yellow. The two dogs are on leashes, which can be seen coming from the bottom of the screen toward the dogs. In the background, there is a small road, blue sky, and trees and bushes.

Whether you're on the right or the left, sharing content without critically viewing it is a dangerous habit to get into. Given what we're fighting for, it's something we all have to try and stop. Read More »

TBT | Endometriosis and Veganism

Image contains a medium-dark brown wooden background. On the wood, there is a variety of fruit and vegetables. In the centre, there is a papaya and coming from the left and right of the fruit are two small stalks of a leafy green vegetable. Nestled under the leaves at the end of each stalk are lemons, and just below each lemon on the right and left there is a small hot pepper. The whole image is meant to represent the female reproductive system.

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, so today seemed like a perfect time to throwback to a piece about just that from T.O.F.U. #11. Read More »

When planning your travels, you're bound to get plenty of warnings from people about things to avoid. Find out in this week's WAIW episode just why burning season should be one of them. Read More »

I've been trying to plan a good time to record an update on progress with the next issue, but things never quite fell into place. So, today I decided to just go for it, dogs and all. Read More »
