Whispers of green tongues curl from the tree’s breath. Not growth, but memory—etched into rough skin. Time blooms sideways here, slow and certain. A quiet conspiracy between light and lichen. Nothing moves, yet everything is listening.

The Quiet Colony

The warming days of spring reveal more than thawing ground—they unveil life too quiet to announce itself.

The caribou’s dark eyes scanned the white expanse, finally settling on the familiar green fringe clinging to the shadowed branch. Each snow-laden strand of lichen was a tiny beacon, a frozen delicacy in the vast stillness. It nudged its muzzle through the icy crystals, a fleeting taste of earth and survival in the heart of winter’s hold.

The Silence Between Seasons

The last snowstorm arrived quietly, as if it knew it was out of place. Spring had already begun to whisper its presence—through swollen buds, longer…

It falls without urgency, this last snow—drifting more from memory than sky. It does not bite or blind; it merely lands, as if out of habit. A gesture. A goodbye. It traces the old logs like a lover running fingers over a sleeping face, not ready to leave, not ready to stay. There is no storm in it—only the quiet insistence of something finishing itself. Beneath it, life waits—wet, thawing, uncoiling in shadows. The snow does not know it is the last, but the earth does. And in that silence, the air holds something tender: not an ending, but the echo of one.
Winter's End

The Last Snow Knows

The logs lie quiet beneath a final whisper of snow, like forgotten verses in a poem winter never finished. Each ring in the wood tells…

Against the backdrop of Executive Order 14168, the fractured paintbrush on a dark canvas symbolizes the National Endowment for the Arts' drastic shift away from supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The stark contrast between the vibrant potential of artistic expression and the encroaching darkness reflects the chilling impact of funding cuts under conservative mandates. As marginalized artists face unprecedented challenges, the arts community must rally to protect the transformative power of creative freedom.

Nothing About This Is Neutral

This project emerged from a refusal to treat data as neutral or storytelling as decorative. Through a year of critical experimentation supported by the OpenAI…

In Music

Jukebox In Exile is the new country music album from Flin Flon singer-songwriter C.C. Trubiak, blending classic country, honky-tonk, Americana and traditional storytelling into a collection of songs inspired by resilience, community and life in Northern Manitoba. Written during and after the 2025 Flin Flon wildfire evacuation, the album draws influence from country music legends including Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Waylon Jennings and George Jones. Featuring the singles "Old Country Songs," "Being Rich" and the charting track "Outlaws Meditation," Jukebox In Exile showcases Trubiak's signature songwriting while celebrating small-town life, northern Canadian culture, queer country music and the enduring spirit of Flin Flon. The album is available now on major music streaming platforms.
Manitoba's own C.C. Trubiak's new album "Jukebox in Exile" dropped on June 5! Check it out!
