Far more than just an absence of sunlight, the nighttime is a whole different country; its borders between waking and dreams notoriously porous and uncontrolled. In the cities of the night, winding backstreets are charged with strange energies and apparitions, more threatening than the daytime, but also more filled with the promise of mystery and… Read more »
On International Women’s Day, March 8th, we might note one of the most vehement voices of early 20th century North American radical politics: Emma Goldman. Her anarchist philosophies envisioned a world that embraced socioeconomic equality without either the heavy hands of industrial corporations or government bureaucracy.

From my early beginnings as a young introvert, the public library has always been a bit of a refuge. Years later, not much has changed, albeit with an additional affinity for endless hours spent scouring second-hand bookstores to add to my ever-growing “to-read” pile.

Lay down and go to sleep! A phrase we may have heard when we were children, or said it ourselves to our own restless toddlers. “Lay down and go to sleep!” But wait, is that right? Or is it “Lie down and go to sleep”? I flatter myself that I have a good grasp of… Read more »

Recently I saw a sign that said, “Impossible is not fact. It’s an opinion.” I’m not sure if it was an advertisement for Impossible Burgers, but it was compelling. Anything terrific is possible. You can have true love, a happy family, peak health, spiritual enlightenment, a Ph.D., subject matter expertise, incredible talents, a highly successful… Read more »
Not that long ago, I had a conversation with a person from the gym while we were on the treadmill, and the loose nature of the conversation led the person I was talking with to mention how they thought of themselves as somewhat of a “pushover”, how they disliked “letting people walk all over them”,… Read more »

I moved to Canada in 2001 as a child. My parents came from Shanghai and immigrated here without fluent English-speaking skills. Early on we realized there were a few differences between the Chinese health care system and the Canadian one.

I have a fascination with hijabs. In fact, I’ve had one in my Amazon shopping cart for over a month. It’s not for public or spiritual reasons but to prevent my wet hair from dripping on the hardwood floor. Despite this, I’ve been intrigued for years by the thought of wearing one, partly for convenience. … Read more »
