only sexy people’s favorite nba teams go out in the first round so it’s okay if your team went out in the first round this year it just mean you are sexy

Dreaming of a world where labor is an invitation to create rather than something that is tied to our livability

This leaves the community without adequate healthcare, an unacceptable situation!

Please share and contact Federal Minister of Indigenous Affairs @MarcMillerVM , Federal Health Minister @PattyHajdu and your local MP to let them know this isn’t ok! 3/3 #alleyesonPikangikum

In response to this, Indigenous Services Canada pulled all health professionals from the community, citing safety concerns. But the community has not done anything violent. This has left the people of Pikangikum without permanent medical staff overnight. In a pandemic! 2/3

Have you heard about what’s been happening in #Pikangikum, an Indigenous community in Ontario, Canada?

On Friday March 19 2021, Pikangikum First Nation expelled the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) following concerns of misconduct, including sexual misconduct. 1/3

“No,” I said. “I mean there’s no single answer that will solve all of our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers–at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” -Octavia Butler, from essay “A Few Rules for Predicting the Future.”

The theft of our imagination is the real oppression.

Indigenous health systems are Land based, therefore they are best learned by being on the Land. To improve Indigenous health, MedEd would be best served by getting out of the lecture hall, and out onto the Land. This is where we will see learner transformation. From 🧠 to ❤️

White and wealthy decision makers are leaving people out re: Bill C-7

We've worked with @DAWNRAFHCanada @IL_Canada @InclusionCA @IndigenousCOVID to put together this event on impacts of Bill C-7 on Black, Indigenous, Queer & Poor communities. #cndpoli

We don’t have a “justice system” we have a criminalization process. Everyone commits harm at some point in their lives, but not everyone is criminalized

[Robyn Maynard @policingblack]

If your org put out an anti-Black racism statement or a #BlackLivesMatter statement this summer: we saw you! it's time to commit more deeply. Sign the historic declaration to divest from policing and prisons and build safer communities for all. link:

Nah for real tho. So many of y’all fixed your fingers to give your hot take on white supremacy for your time line. How bout spreading around that inter generational wealth rather than just re-wording what Black ppl have been saying since the dawn of time.

For 2021: Can we all agree that racism NOT race, is a risk factor to poor physical and mental health outcomes?

[Lisa Richardson MD @RicharLisa]

If, as a heath care provider, you are not disrupting anti-Black racism and anti-Indigeneity, then you are complicit in allowing colonial violence to reproduce itself.

Great read!

💥URGENT PHONE ZAP: Call Peel Regional Police and tell them they have blood on their hands.

Families of loved ones stolen and harmed by the violence of Peel police demand justice. Instead, all they’re getting is platitudes & further criminalization.
