Montreal’s Queer Cinema Club
Combining his love for making people discover movies and his desire to establish a recurring project where a community could be built, Jeremie launched QCCMTL in May 2024, giving Montreal queers and film lovers the chance to experience a piece of queer film history in theatres once a month.
Literary Oktoberfest 2025

Why I’m Becoming a Librarian
Public libraries offer so much more than just books. Depending on your library’s offerings, you could have access to magazines, films, video games, music, audio books, board games, puzzles, toys, and even electronic devices. They organise programs for patrons of all ages, including story times for children, book clubs for teens, movie viewings for adults, and tech workshops for seniors.
McSweeney’s List (22 October 2025)
That's a shame in and of itself: the fact that the place where we can globally meet and share ideas is apparently useless for nuance; the fact that the place where we could gather information and strength and build a revolution, is actually just a cesspool of ignorance, vitriol, and AI videos.

In front of the Rangshala Studio, a Better Bargains logo is stapled with the words “we are hiring!” I look to my left and encourage my friend to apply.
McSweeney’s List (15 October 2025)
The lore of the Eldest Daughter has been all over my timeline lately, and as much as I want to relate to the super strong, over-giving, highly independent, and successful image, it isn't quite my story.
Local Stage, Global Sound
Before I even stepped into Barfly, I was greeted by the crowd spilling out into the streets of St. Laurent. I walk past the vivid, brightly painted fly mural on a weekly basis, and I have to say I was more than a little thrilled to finally peek behind the curtain and enter the iconic bar.
Julie Neff is fine?!
Julie Neff understands pain. Years ago, she found herself in the wreckage of her personal and professional life. She’d just relocated from Spain, her first serious relationship had just fallen apart, and she was facing a very real health crisis…
