It is probably closer to 50 police officers in riot gear that York University sent in to clear the encampment — after releasing a statement yesterday which lied about wanting to “establish dialogue with the [*STUDENTS*] in the encampment.”

The idea that homelessness only happens to bad people who made bad choices is a comforting fairytale for a lot of people in for a rude awakening.

The #1 growing group of homeless people are seniors who have never been homeless before.

It's going to get bad.

"Description is not liberation." ~Katherine McKittrick (2020)

This quote keeps rattling in my head this year, as the much of environmental and climate "justice" work focuses solely on descriptions of disparities.

I can't get over tbe fact that, even after an arrest was made, an Ontario woman was publicly ridiculed by Sarnia police for stealing some salsa & tortillas, while Loblaws celebrates profits of over $508 million in just three months. Our society needs to be resuscitated fast.

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

this is what we mean when we say crime is a social and racialized construct AND that media drives mass criminalization.

white kids hop a pool fence: it's a fun summer montage scene on Laguna Beach or Sweet Valley High. Black kids do it: filmed by helicopters for the 6:00 news.

Good morning to everyone except the racist Canadian immigration system.
While African asylum seekers sleep on the streets of Toronto, Ukrainian refugees get the royal treatment of red-carpet immigration treatment

Fran Drescher saying "Eventually the people break down the gates of Versailles and it's over. And we're at that moment right now" is not something I ever envisioned watching NANNY re-runs as a kid.

Job Search 🚨 Anyone at Queen's U or KGH know of med/neuro labs in need of a research assistant/coordinator? Had to move back to Kingston for at least the next year and would love some full/part-time work as I wrap up my PhD. Have clinical and health records experience.

When white people start talking about merit in a field where white people dominate they’re implying that everyone else is either naturally inferior or by design without merit.

Both are positions of white supremacy.

Would any Chinese-language media/newspapers like to chat about what's going on with the British Museum's use of my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry without my permission, credit, or payment? I would like to be able to share this with more Chinese folks who may not speak English.

[Yilin @ The Lantern and the Night Moths @yilinwriter]

@deborah_c My publisher @invisibooks has created a pre-order page for THE LANTERN AND THE NIGHT MOTHS, an anthology of Chinese poetry I edited/translated (that includes Qiu Jin's work), accompanied by my essays on translation. Please consider pre-ordering!

Of course I want to be paid. I have said that. I'm a translator, it's my WORK.
