Well, the fact that I am starting this PhD student meet-up group should tell you that I’m procrastinating despite a fast encroaching deadline, and a deluge of emails from my supervisors harassing me about that long overdue chapter. This meet-up is really aimed at nomadic PhD students like myself who do not have a network here.  For example, I am completing my degree in arty-phartysness (Art History and Musicology) through the University of Edinburgh but after two years abroad and living like a h …

Toronto Truth Seekers (TTS) was formed originally by members of Toronto 9/11 Truth groups active since 2004.  911 was a momentous way many people learned and continue to learn about what is really going on in our world from the point of view of those who control what goes on behind the scenes, caring nothing for the amount of the depth of tragedy, trauma and corruption they are causing to achieve their final agenda. However; 911 is a stepping stone, and since those events, TTS has since expanded …

“Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song." Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …

There is something seriously wrong with the world today, and it is clear that things are going to get much worse before they get better.

Millions of people starved to death in the last Great Depression, back when most people lived on farms and were self sustainable and much mentally and physically healthier, much mo …
