🔥 Oil, chains, and freedom. 🔥
In her article for @fridaythings, writer Stacy Lee Kong takes us behind the chains, horns, and ritual of Spicemas, reflecting on how playing Jab opened up a deeper kind of liberation: one rooted in history, resistance, and joy.

Stacey Lee Kong's @fridaythings newsletter is always a must read but this week she hits the nail on the head about the return of thinspo and its ties to our current SNAP fears and how hunger is a tool of oppression.

Hello! This week, the wonderful @stacyleekong asked me to write about age-gap relationships and to get unhinged with it. Boy, did I. Please dig in! (Spoiler: I love ‘em) 🤡
A few weeks ago, I asked one of my fave culture writers—and fellow Thirst Expert, and friend—Sadaf Ahsan (@_sadafahsan) if she had any thoughts about all the new age-gap romcoms featuring women as the older, ostensibly more powerful, partner.

The face of Canadian journalism is changing and we were thrilled to be given a peek under the hood of the publications that are leading that. An epic conversation with @the_logic @thenarwhalca @fridaythings @LP_LaPresse @villagemedia & @TheLocal_TO at the Toronto conference.
