Lex talionis, man. Rapists should be castrated. Don't worry, they can still write essays and have bright futures.

Thanks for taking us with you for all these years, Aunt Catherine. I hope at the end of the rainbow what you find is more precious than a pot of gold.

If I steal something from you, sell it to someone else, and they give it to their child, who owns it?

I guess if you hold up a mirror, people will say to you what they can't admit they're saying to the mirror. That's brutal. I think the precise opposite of you. I'm continually impressed by your clarity, empathy, and fairness. You have not become like your oppressors. Nothing is more impressive.

A busload of white hockey players died by accident and we wept openly, held vigils, and raised 15 million in support. Meanwhile we spent 100+ years shovelling indigenous children into church prisons disguised as schools and the best we can do is say oops sorry but no you can't have your land back.

"If there are 10 bigots & you're cool with them, there are 11 bigots." This this this this this. There is no halfway with prejudice. If we aren't standing up, we're lying down. The loudest voices for prejudice count on the rest of us staying quiet. Peace is not the same as quiet. Be loud.

Compromise is what you do when deciding what restaurant to eat at, not when it comes to choosing leaders that will fight for the most vulnerable. I will not compromise when it comes to the lives of trans people, homeless folks, and the like. Don’t ask me why I won’t settle. Ask why you will.

I was photographing a gallery event one hot summer night, getting staff shots out on the crowded sidewalk, when two individuals walked by from opposite directions: K-OS, and a skunk. I said "Love the albums, watch out," then did my best not to get sprayed. They both kept going.

Juneteenth tells us more about America than any of its founding documents. 160 years after "emancipation" Adriana Smith was forcibly used as an incubator by the state, then thrown away. America is braindead. Should we keep it on life support to see what comes out, or should we let it die?

Nine minutes, now five years removed. George Floyd should still be here. But America. People should have learned a lesson. But America. I shouldn’t be crying typing this on a Sunday. But America. 400 years summarized in nine minutes. Because America. Rest in Peace, brother George.

An individual "known to police" committed a willing act of unbelievable violence against them. He murdered their families. He orphaned their children. They could have chosen revenge and no one would have blamed them. They chose restraint. Support this community. Donate to these survivors.

In the midst of grieving for and with the Filipino community of Vancouver, can we, their neighbours, take a moment to appreciate what it says about them that they did not immediately tear the suspect to pieces?

Kind of you to say. Likewise. Writing about it is a kind of personal archeology, don't you think? It doesn't change anything, but there's a kind of completion in understanding how it got us to where we are.

That's the white experience: telling other people what their experience is and is not. Like does White Jesus weep every time a person of colour is treated as an individual? I guess he must.

Black history is more than just the history of Black people: it includes what we've redacted from white history. If you only know the abuser's story, not the survivor's, then you don't know a damned thing.

A white man told me once that if Black people wanted to be treated better, we needed to “have better culture.” When Black people experienced oppression, we created Jazz. When white people didn’t get their way one time, they stormed the Capitol. Sit this one out, champ. Happy Black History Month.

This is a tragically accurate insight. As individuals we learn. As a species we forget. Kafka described us all, I think, when he said I am a cage in search of a bird. How not to be? I wish I knew.
