Writing a column or feminist blog Paradigm Shift
by admin on Apr.18, 2013, under Integrated Media, Writing and Editing
It always causes a pang of sadness and anger that women are still fighting the same battles that I thought we had won already.
Why are women still being forced to fight for control of our own bodies, reproductive rights, equal pay for equivalent work and other gender related issues.
In my opinion, these rights are so obvious, there should be no room for argument.
Now I am writing for a feminist blog based in NYC, you can read my first post here.
I wrote about the Femen protests as the political protest actions of young women, including Pussy Riot, have started to gain media attention.
I plan to write regularly in support of gender related issues.
International Womens’ Day inspired me to write a song.

Play the Moment will be performing as part of the Vancouver Maker Faire June 1-2 at the PNE.
This is a rare opportunity to experience a network music performance with a live band member in attendance.
I will be playing computer and singing on-site and I will be available to answer questions about our show and my other projects.
In addition to the confirmed Play the Moment performance, I am working on also presenting Angels Among Us, an interactive installation featuring my collaboration with visual artist Joanna Gabler as Zest Continuum.
More information on exact dates and times will be announced soon.

VICTORIA — A spill of diluted bitumen puts the survival of young salmon at risk even if the fish end up in clean water following exposure to the oil product, says new research from the University of . . .thetyee.ca/News/2018/09/14/National-Energy-Board-Correct-Errors-In-Trans-Mountain-Report/
#nopipelines This is an excellent article that points out many of the flaws in the Trans-Mountain report. Another strike against the project is the completed shipping system in Louisiana called the Loop. Anyone in Vancouver sees the ships waiting in English Bay because only a limited number of ships can pass in and out of the harbour for loading. The Loop allows instant "gas station" type of loading for ships. Minimizing wait time reduces shipping cost substantially. This pipeline makes no economic sense -- that is why there are no investors. So what is the real reason the government bought it?National Energy Board Pushed to Correct Errors in Original 2016 Trans Mountain Report | The Tyee
