I love Ford City.

A sign on a brick building wall reading "Windsor had drag queens before you existed". There is a garbage can and bench on the sidewalk, both painted bright blue. A faded painted sign reading Books is visible on the left.

In Vancouver, I watched the north shore mountains disappear. In Windsor, it’s Detroit that fades away. Everywhere the grief and rage that it’s come to this.

Two photos of the same view out of my front video. Text reads “taken twenty hours apart”. The top photo sky is dark and hazy and you can’t see the Detroit skyline. The bottom shows a bright blue sky with clear views of buildings in Detroit.

Windsor’s AQI went from 4 to 7 in less than three hours

Went to Brijuni today (aka Tito’s island) and was struck by this map showing the size of the non-aligned movement at its height.

As seen in Istria

Graffiti on the back of a sign reading “Free all antifas!” alongside a heart. The sign is on a hill overlooking the sea.

Instagram reminded me of one my favorite tweets ever. The IG caption was “aka academia”.

Screenshot of my May 2020 tweet reading: Sometimes while trying to come up with a word In Scrabble I accidentally make up a good one. Today’s green is “enviary” — which is a place where to go to nurture your envy. Like an aviary, but instead of birds, it’s just you and your burning resentment.

Bought this at a vintage/record sale today. Published in Windsor in 1974 by Mile One Publications, which was affiliated with Facing Reality in Detroit. Turned out that the vendor was one was one of the authors(!?!)

The back of the booklet. There is an image of a deconstructed globe and the text reads Mile One Publications, 2180 Wyandotte West, Windsor, Ontario, Canada

The ELC and @shirip.bsky.social also produced a factsheet on the interplay between Indigenous legal orders, Aboriginal Law, and the law of injunctions on Indigenous territories 8thfirerising.ca/rights-title...

In collaboration with the Environmental Law Centre at UVic, we've got a factsheet on the role of police in the enforcement and interpretation of injunctions 8thfirerising.ca/injunctions-...

Next, an overview of the law of injunctions and contempt of court in the context of protest and land defence: crucial knowledge as we gear up for another fight against a flood of legislation that aims to dispossess Indigenous communities and fuel corporate power 8thfirerising.ca/injunctions-...

A photo of a sign reading Trans Mountain Property in the snow with trees behind it. The text on the sign is the language of an injunction order. Spraypainted in red over that text is the word Skoden.

This year's @windsora2j.bsky.social Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice Distinguished Lecture will be delivered by Professor Emeritus and former Editor-in-Chief @richardmoon.bsky.social Join us Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at noon in the @windsorlaw.bsky.social Moot Court. Reception to follow.

Event poster: 2026 Distinguished Lecture of the Windsor Yearbook of Access to Justice
Richard Moon
Distinguished University Professor Emeritus

“The Social Character of Rights and the Limits of Adjudication”

In this talk, Prof. Moon will consider two themes that have recurred in his writing: first, that constitutional rights do not simply protect individual autonomy but instead protect different aspects of human flourishing or dignity in the community, and second, that courts, as adjudicative bodies, are unable to give full or even significant protection to these rights.

Now what do I do with my Heated Rivalry withdrawal?!?

A photo of me, a white woman with brown hair wearing a red hoodie and checked pyjama bottoms, largely hidden behind the very large newspaper crossword puzzle I am holding up. It is all filled in!

Every time I pass this building in Windsor’s Walkerville I wonder how the typographical choices were made

A front door of an apartment building. Above the door in an art deco all caps type face reads Bennett Apartmts [sic]. The last two letters are in underlined superscript for some insane reason

I can't be the only person who thinks that Vega's new gym bro gains aesthetic is absolutely not an upgrade

Two large plastic tubs of Vega's plant based all-in-one nutrition shake powder side by side on a wooden table. One is light grey with mostly green text and an image of a shake. The other is blue with silver writing and looks like a protein supplement.

The Food Basics in downtown Windsor is really going after the ex-Yugo market. Napolitanke on sale AND party-size bags of Smoki?!?

A photo of a grocery store display. Orange, green and red packs of biscuits are piled high. The sign reads $1.99, down from $2.49

I’m sorry but BG Voz, Belgrade’s commuter train, is unfuckwithable
