Téa Mutonji takes over the Champagne Room in the latest episode of the talk series from the team behind STR*PPER NEWS, w/ hosts Andrea and Ariel.

A celebrated Congolese-Canadian author, Mutonji has built a body of work rooted in truthful, character-driven storytelling about friendship and self-discovery. In this episode, she traces her path from aspiring actor and bartender to professional writer, and reflects on how her identity as a queer, bilingual Black woman shapes the stories she tells. She talks about the weight of public perception after Shut Up You’re Pretty became a Canada Reads finalist, why she now guards her privacy and boundaries, her sobriety, her refusal to believe in writer’s block, and her pull toward the unpolished side of human intimacy. She also discusses her forthcoming novel, My Person.

A conversation that goes exactly where you’d expect—and then further. Hosts Tony and Nikki ask all the right questions!

Jack Astor’s is a Canadian chain based out of Burlington, Ontario, with locations across Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia. They formerly had locations in New York and North Carolina, but those appear to have closed! Their whole thing is to ask patrons if they want certain things JACKED UP (which we always felt was eggstra to say the least but… werk!)

Check out Canada’s ‘This Hour Has 22 Minutes’ spoofing the popular restaurant chain above, and get JACKED UP!

!! OMG, one photographer, 12 Years, and 750 Soviet bus stops !!

Canadian photographer Herwig spent over a decade travelling more than 50,000 kilometres across the former Soviet Union, documenting nearly 750 bus stops in countries ranging from Ukraine and Georgia to Kazakhstan and the Baltics.

What he found challenges the stereotype of Soviet uniformity — these humble roadside shelters turned out to be surprising canvases for local creativity, featuring bold forms, playful details, and regional references that feel almost defiant in their individuality.

Collected in his book Soviet Bus Stops, the project is a fascinating reminder that even within the most rigid systems, people found ways to leave their mark on the landscape, one weird and wonderful bus shelter at a time. Check out a gallery of some of his images after the jump!
