So long story short, I’m no longer with @georgiastraight Straight. It was fun while it lasted and I’m insanely proud of the work. Hit me up if you wanna chat.

I know I say this every time but this is literally the best issue of @georgiastraight we’ve done. Insane amount of work went into this and I’m proud of the entire team. Woot!

In Tofino, travellers drive the local economy, but their impact is far-reaching—and not always positive. Visitors can be destructive, extractive, inconsiderate.
Keeping the world in balance isn’t cheap, or easy. But it’s worth it for places like this.

I had the best time chatting with @_louiseburns_ all about her gorgeous new album, Element. We talked the escapist power of art, the early '00s, The Beach, and much more 💙

In defense of the dad joke. I wrote an article for @georgiastraight
straight.com/arts/dad-jokes-…
@danmanganmusic and I spent more time on this headline than on any headline I’ve ever worked on in my life. This one’s good — the one we used in print (used as the subhead here) is even better. straight.com/arts/dad-jokes-…
