They all felt awkward and unhappy suddenly, because it was a sort of good-bye they were saying, and they didn’t want to think about it. So they stood around, and waited for somebody else to speak, and they nudged each other, and said “Go on.” ~A.A.Milne

The most important time is the day after the apology so here is my "To Do" list for the Catholic Church, the Holy See and @Pontifex

The healing narrative puts the work back on the victims. We need to talk about the justice narrative as there is more “healing” to be done by the offender than the victim.

A few weeks ago I confronted a convoy group on the street and asked them to stop using the Every Child Matters flag for their discriminatory aims. They asked “who do you think you are? what “have you ever done?” with a few swear words mixed in. Enough said- they are dishonourable

Alright friends, gentle reminder to be mindful with language. I’m seeing a lot of “our Indigenous” and “the Indigenous” and no word following it when referencing Indigenous folx as of late.

If you are not Indigenous yourself refrain from using “our”. It’s a possessive. /1

On Monday, when the sun is hot
I wonder to myself a lot:
“Now is it true, or is it not,
“That what is which and which is what?”

On Wednesday, when the sky is blue,
And I have nothing else to do,
I sometimes wonder if it’s true
That who is what and what is who.

Today is 10,025th day of boil water advisory for #Neskantaga. Community members are given 1.5 litres a day to bathe, drink, or cook. This pic was shared to me by the grandfather of the child who gets skin irritations using the community tap water. #boilwateradvisory #waterislife

Maybe if we all sit extremely still, Monday won't be able to see us.
