What is art anyway – music, paints on canvas, aerosols on brick walls? Stamps? Smashing a rat on a canvas with a hunk of granite?

Farming a divine calling? ... think again
From foraging, to herding, to farming … and each step required offending God. Humans spent 290,000 years as hunter-gatherers; then a mere 10,000 years ago we embarked on an expansionist agricultural project that has become such a runaway “success” that we refuse to truly grapple with how unsustainable it is.

Interviews with conventional farms
If society is to make a widespread shift towards a more sustainable, more localized and less corporate food system, two groups of people will need to be involved: food advocates (people who care about and promote better food), and average farmers (people who have the means to actually grow significant amounts of food). A key task in changing the food system is bringing these two groups, which are now largely estranged, together.

I cast a shadow
Time has rubbed away some of my prickliness about goodness. I can accept goodness as shorthand for trying to live free. Not free of my shadow, though. The only way to be free of it would be to be a formless and two-dimensional body that casts no shadow, that has no purchase in the world.
In Geez’s Name, Amen
For Christmas last year I got Dad a saucy brass belt buckle “Jesus,” a Johnny Cash CD, and a copy of Geez Magazine. My dad’s got a pretty wacky sense of humour but I could tell he was uncomfortable with the belt buckle. I’d looked far and wide for the Christian fish symbol but when I found the garishly tacky alternate I knew I was probably going too far.Geez wins awards
To our surprise and delight, Geez magazine won in both categories we entered in the Western Magazine Awards 2007: Best New Publication and Magazine of the Year - Manitoba. As Manitoba winner we were eligible for the grand prize. In what some considered unprecedented, our new magazine took the overall award for *Magazine of the Year-Western Canada*.
