since i haven’t seen anyone else say it i guess i will: along w everything else that’s been discussed fifa + influx of tourists + lots of crowded spaces for viewing games + no pandemic measures = high likelihood of mass COVID infections protect yrself + disabled kin mask up 😷

I can get a place for May but I need to raise $1100 in two days. every bit helps e-transfer: [email protected] I appreciate your help so much

really i just want ppl to care about the impact of their actions on other ppl and what it means. gaining a growing amount of power in various communities and continuing harmful/violent behaviour isn’t going to achieve liberation. be accountable. stop doing harmful things. and be considerate.

my ex left me behind while hiking a trail at mt seymour if my last relationship taught me anything it's that leftist men will pretend to care about gendered violence but literally do not give a shit if women live or die www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

overheard a fellow surrey jack at diljit’s concert say “it’s fackin’ hectic in here bro” and in that moment i knew i was home

leftists that say shit like “put ur feelings aside for the movement” “emotions aren’t that interesting” are literally pushing ppl into incarceration via the mental health act emotions are political. pls dissect and undo ur patriarchal white supremacist beliefs.

youtu.be/zbhW36M_QKI?... what happened to megan thee stallion always made me sad and enraged all these (mostly) men — including ones who were her fucking friends !!! — jumped on the chance to protect tory by degradining her she had to navigate misogynoir on top of being shot by her then partner

as a survivor of abuse beginning in my childhood it’s devastating that my boundaries make me disposable in “community” spaces & abusers continue to be centred, championed, and openly welcomed to the detriment of myself and others like me centring survivors is not individualism or carceral fyi

"The United Nations estimates that 50,000 women & girls were killed by intimate partners or family members in 2024, which breaks down to about 1 every 10 minutes..., so I know that prioritizing men's hurt feelings over our use of the term, "patriarchy" will only result in more [of our] deaths..."💔💔💔

Long Covid has become one of the fastest-growing diagnoses in modern medicine. “A study published in December estimated that as many as 400 million people worldwide are living with lasting consequences of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, also known as long-Covid.”

my issue w drug policy critique framings like “we are not brain damaged. we are not mentally ill.” is how it evades the necessity of Mad/disabled solidarity from drug lib movements

its an "opinion" piece by the director of the BCCSU and the BCCSU clinician scientist who is a clinician scientist at the bcc and the division head of addiction for Providence Health Care they say They Got This! and they're totally not opportunistic parasites! vancouversun.com/opinion/op-e...

for a show called ‘euphoria’ i sure am crying a lot

lets get serious about this and get our co-opted governments either off their corrupt asses or out the door stop debating reality with bad-faith actors. debate is delay. their purpose to create confusion by repeating compelling lies in public discourse ⟱ www.nationalobserver.com/2025/03/20/o...

these closures are the implementation of the policy choice to exclude a specific group of people from the category of *the public* – this is dehumanization and it is a choice being made throughout Canada Ontario 1/

pay attention to how the far-right has been, is currently, and will be looking to secure the votes of disabled ppl. leftists NEED to contend with their ableism and abandonment of disabled comrades in order to move towards building a movement grounded in collective solidarity.

"We do not believe there is such a thing as safe MAiD in a society where disability too often remains synonymous with poverty, isolation, exclusion, and shame. All lives are not valued equally."

unregulated survival capitalism on stolen land www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This is a sick civilization. An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

hey I'm in a bit of a jam which is kind of a bad one and I realize I'm prone to understate my own problems but if a few folks could chip in it would really help, I need to get 150$ together fairly quick I'm sorry I'm trying my best here e-transfer : the [email protected]

stack teaching sammy how to lick is underrated political education on the big screen

i’ve been thinking about the few classmates that have told me the things i share in discussions have mobilized them into not just thinking critically, but doing critically that rly makes my heart swell. that’s what love feels like to me.

new things i’ve noticed: 1) they don’t like to fly in the rain 2) they turn the lights off on the flying sperm-shaped object so they’re harder to spot esp in the dark

ppl feel disempowered because they struggle to change things within colonial-institutional systems but will also refuse to dream/imagine/create new systems outside of these institutions and i just don’t understand

declassified RCMP files confirm Canada's domestic intelligence agency infiltrated and sought to disrupt legitimate political Indigenous organizations in the 1970s, in an extensive program of covert surveillance, informants and countersubversion www.cbc.ca/news/indigen...

delores’ story last week broke me. i haven’t been ok since. all of this is so normalized.

he wants occurrences to please stop occurring

Why is there so little integrity in medical institutions? For all the complaining about loss of public trust, you'd think the profession would want to enforce trustworthiness and earn it back. Why would anyone trust public health and infection control when they lie to your face about this stuff?

the government is responsible for legislative changes to require safer public spaces and implementing protective measures as well as funding healthcare services that address the needs of people with long COVID

i did some vch orientation modules a couple weeks ago and they are STILL claiming covid is spread through droplets and is not airborne; and that surgical masks are adequate ppe 😑

i remember when affluent harm reduction folks championed bonnie henry as someone doing good for the movement despite the harm she has been causing re: the covid-19 pandemic, esp to those who are disabled, racialized, elderly, work classing, children i wish y’all took disability justice seriously

grateful for the skills of being a bitch and confrontational i learned from my mom as survival + protection from ongoing patriarchal abuse

it’s unsurprising (tho still devastating) to learn about chavez’s violence against women in movement spaces. it’s happening all the time. and even ppl calling attention to chavez look the other way when the abusive “charismatic” leftist men are their friends.

hot girls on hinge keep calling me a ‘baddie’ so ya my ego isn’t deflating any time soon 😌

I have been trying to raise awareness about the recent cuts to pandemic preparedness by provincial institutions in BC for the past 1½ months. Most of the cuts were not announced to the public beforehand and media coverage has been scant. 1/?

Misogyny is deeply embedded within centralized leftist spaces (as is racism & all the other isms)—even within some of the most well-meaning men who fail to recognize it within themselves—precisely because these spaces are structured to reproduce the very systems we’re trying to dismantle.

This is so astute. Fascism, generally speaking, is a rebellion, denial, and suppression of the fact of interdependence. That’s why a politics of care is the most effective response.

the emotional is political

punjabi as an identity is a responsibility to how i am shaped & to weed out cultural violence (whether the invasives are colonial or not — we do have to contend with the latter). punjabi is not just colourful adornments or poetic scripts, and this flattening is erasure of marginalized realities
