The Potentialities of Queer Cree Love in Billy-Ray Belcourt's coexistence: A Testament to Queer Indigenous Lovers Everywhere

As a queer Indigenous person, it’s rare to come across books that I resonate with. Billy-Ray Belcourt’s (Driftpile Cree Nation) books have been profoundly important to me for this reason. Belcourt’s writing has made me feel seen in ways I did not know were possible in the constraints of conventional publishing houses. His recent collection of short stories titled coexistence–featuring many queer Cree narrators and characters from Northern Alberta–not only enriches but also weaves together his previous work in its exploration of loneliness and its embrace of care and love.

A deep dive into Seagrass reveals the intergenerational trauma that lingers within Japanese-Canadian communities

There’s something quite eerie about the image of seagrass floating in the darkness of the deep ocean. Imagine yourself drifting in the middle of open water as it moves beneath you, unbeknownst to when it will reach out to graze your bare skin. It’s a haunting image, and it’s one that lingers.

Cosmic Forecast April 2024

After the deep mists of March, April’s astrology brings some crisp rays of sunlight to illuminate some of the dark corners we’ve been exploring. But the new brightness can also feel like too much, the heat too intense. When the Sun is in Aries, there can be a sense of urgency, a desire to rush—a feeling that all the underground work we’re doing inside of ourselves, in our relationships, or in our spiritual lives isn’t enough because we don’t have anything to physically show for it. Aries sometimes prefers tangible results, or even better, public recognition. Aries likes to make dreams come true, but that energy can ask us to push past our physical and emotional limits on our way to the finish line.

Cosmic Forecast March 2024

March is the riverbank where we move from the waters of Pisces into the wide green pasture of Aries. It’s the month that marks the end of one astrological year and the beginning of the next. This new year isn’t a milestone most of us celebrate–it’s a transition that happens outside of our modern calendar. It’s a chance to experience time differently, to step into a current that moves a little slower than the one we usually swim in.
