Woman’s dress as envisioned by Dakota/Anishinaabe, Metis artist, Lisa Fontaine.

From Lisa Fontaine’s Winyan (Dakota word for “woman”) at The Winnipeg Art Gallery until June 8. ‘Fontaine’s work centers and celebrates the beauty of Indigenous femininities as a resistance to heteropatriarchal and colonial practices.’ Stunning works.

Can't wait for North of North season 2!

Liberation Psychology: A Dialogue in the Current Moment — Climate Psychology Alliance North America What is liberation psychology, and what insights does it hold for navigating the climate crisis?

As a therapist I worry about the way that current conceptualizations of mental health uphold the status quo by pathologizing individuals instead of viewing suffering as an inevitable consequence of our systems. Liberation psychology gestures towards the paradigm shift we need.

For those who saw the Barbie movie, we are coming up to the Mojo Dojo Casa House part.

The cringe of a thousand serenades.

I just heard Jared Monkman on CBC North say it's going to be +5 in Fort Good Hope today. That's wild, it should be like -40 this time of year

I went to a very fun painting class last night at Saxifrage Studio. I love this corner with a little fried egg and a string of Les Thompson red devil lures, maybe?
