After Russia invaded Ukraine, many men illegally fled the country to evade the draft. The thousands of dollars collected in bribes reflected a deeper problem: people who wanted to leave would find a way out, writes @_jgarfy.

States like Pakistan target political activists who seek asylum abroad, silencing them through means ranging from verbal threats and intimidation to physical violence.

There was a deeper reason for the violence that broke out on Mount Everest in 2013, writes Bernadette McDonald: “Nepali climbers living in impoverished or humble circumstances had watched Westerners travelling, climbing, making money.”

When we think of farmers, we often think of Mom and Pop types, smiling in well-worn overalls and plaid shirts as they tend to their animals and crops by hand. It’s a romantic, unsophisticated image.
It’s also completely false.

Best Personal Essay: “100 Years after the Exclusion Act, Chinese Canadians like Me Still Question Their Belonging” by @adrianma. Illustrator: Phoebe Xiao. #DPA24thewalrus.ca/exclusion-act/
We are so thrilled that The Walrus has scored four nominations at the @DPAwards! 🎉 Read on for a roundup of the incredible stories and writers being recognized this year:
The principle behind the carbon tax is simple: raise the cost of something and people will use less of it. But the complicated fine print involved means the policy is also ripe for slander, says contributing writer @arno_kopecky in his latest.

Binge-watching TV or speed-reading library books often takes precedence over cracking open a book we purchased with the intention of reading ages ago—yet another reason why our compulsive book-buying habit has got to stop, writes @michellecyca.

International students have been the focus of public debate around capping their numbers amid a shortage of affordable housing and social support. But pop stars like Harkirat Sangha find themselves in a different kind of spotlight, writes @aparita.

German philosopher Ernst Jünger suggested that men experience life most vividly in the presence of death. This aphorism sheds light on the lesser-known parts of Leonard Cohen’s life, writes @SimonLewsen.

In 2001, toward the end of their initial reign, the Taliban cut off internet access for most Afghans. Today, social media may just be their most powerful tool. Journalist @sorayaamiri88 examines the group’s battle for control over their narrative.

Remember Brexit? That time a Conservative Party directed voter frustration at an easy scapegoat to win their biggest election victory in decades? Something similar is happening today in Canada, says contributing writer @arno_kopecky.
thewalrus.ca/pierre-poiliev…
Accumulating large shelves of books may seem like a good idea, writes @michellecyca, but try to get rid of a large number of old books and you’ll quickly learn why you shouldn’t have hoarded them in the first place.
