📣The @romtoronto is asking Canadian kids ages 4

📣The @romtoronto is asking Canadian kids ages 4-18 to submit their pandemic art for a special exhibition planned for this fall. “Art helps us cope with life’s greatest challenges by telling our stories through colour, sound, and texture,” says Justin Jennings, ROM Senior Curator of Archaeology of the Americas and curator of the #MyPandemicStory-themed exhibition. “Children’s art often makes plain an era’s emotions, and I can think of no better place than the ROM to share children’s stories of life during the COVID-19 pandemic.” We think this is a great idea, but it also made us feel a little weepy. ♥️💜🧡💛💚💙 Link in bio for more info. Do we ever feel for the kids and how much they have had to deal with this year.

We published an interview a couple weeks back with

We published an interview a couple weeks back with UK feminist icon Laura Bates, who founded the The Everyday Sexism Project and wrote the book, 'Men Who Hate Women - From Incels to Pickup Artists: The Truth About Misogyny and How It Affects Us All,' (now available in Canada). She shares with us what motivated her to write the book:
"I noticed a sudden and really concerning change in the attitudes of the boys I was working with in schools," says Bates, who realized young men were being radicalized by The internet’s INCEL and pickup artist communities; she wasn’t about to sit by and watch that happen.
.
.
To better understand how boys were being “groomed” into sexism, as Bates puts it, the author went undercover. Posing as a man, she infiltrated sexist online communities. Her research illuminated the ways young men were radicalized with false information. Link in bio to read Sarah Sahagian's full piece..

Who else feels like this? ☝️🎬BETWEEN WAVES

Who else feels like this? ☝️🎬BETWEEN WAVES is premiering tonight at 9PM ET on Super Channel Fuse as part of @canfilmfest, and we think it's the perfect film for the weekend. 🎬

BETWEEN WAVES is a sci-fi drama written and directed by Virginia Abramovich and shot right here in Toronto.

The film is about a women's pursuit to join her missing lover by crossing into a parallel dimension. Straddling a fine line between enlightenment and madness, how far will Jamie go before she’s in too deep?
