I went last weekend, I have to say it was honestly disappointing. Very impactful, but based on all of the headlines about it I was expecting it to be a bit more of an installation than just a few walls on the second-to-last level. Probably no more than six paragraphs of text, a handful of objects and a TV screen with a few looping interviews. There was quite a crowd though.

It also only mentioned the word genocide once in its entirety, that the ICC was investigating claims of genocide presently.

I recognize the immense effort and how meaningful this exhibit being made is, but, fuck. The fact that it faced so much pushback and has been mired in all this controversy is equal parts mind-boggling and infuriating.

I’ll say it this time, so you don’t have to.

As always, ACAB.

I’ve been noticing their comments on tons of posts recently too. it’s scornful and evocative, and sometimes even poetic, but ultimately it’s all meaningless nonsense.

I know it’s not a real option for many, but for those who can afford to I’d also recommend shopping local for groceries as much as possible. We need to stand together in the face of these tariffs, but I don’t love the idea of Loblaws and co. standing to gain so much from the struggles of the public yet again.

Check out local grocery stores and smaller chains like Co-Op if they operate in your area for Canadian made goods. Look and see if there’s a local farmers market you can buy staples like eggs and produce from. It’s the little guys that are likely to face an existential threat from all this international non-diplomacy.

not being sarcastic, what news companies have switched their messaging to be pro-trump? I must not have been paying enough attention to american outlets because I haven’t seen this shift in the stuff I read.
