Am I sad to leave my position and my incredible colleagues? Yes. Am I loving the constant compliments I’m receiving as I wrap up? Also yes.

While talking about the violence of bureaucracy at work today I was told that I “somehow managed to bend the bars of this iron cage”. My two years of working in the Kafkaesque nightmare that is UBC are coming to an end and if this is my legacy I’m happy with it 🥲

“You can reflect AND celebrate all the good of Canada!”

You’re telling me you reflected and decided that the appropriate response was celebration? Acting on reflection is the bigger part.

Canadians really do some mental gymnastics to justify their disregard for genocide.

There are no disposable people, each person in this community has value, each person is entitled to be treated with dignity, Justice Pierce says.

if I had to distil the group chat into one single message it would be this

[Jay Pitter @Jay_Pitter]

There’s a Tik Tok video proposing that we replace the pejorative use of the word ghetto with trailer park. This is profoundly problematic. Classism is not the antidote to racism. In fact, to create more equitable #cities, we must act across race to address classism.

I'm just so tired of these bad faith bullshit questions. We are already living in a world filled with killer cops who will never see the inside of a prison. Locking one up to appease the masses won't make anyone safer and that's what we're looking for. A world where we're safer.

"Policing and Bluelining" is officially published! I argue "Police draw blue lines around Black neighborhoods—just as banks drew red lines—designating them as pathological spaces. Police use aggressive stops & home raids to keep people in their spatial and social place."

"We are not saying don't go for a walk around," Ford says, minutes after announcing that people will be stopped by police, interrogated, and ticketed for walking around.

Yet again, police are given ample time + space in the media to paint themselves as the victims. In reality, the police are a violent institution that has harmed BIPOC communities for decades. We need mainstream media to stop pandering to police in the name of ‘neutrality.’ /12

The WFP published a story about an ex-cop’s petition to include “vocation” as a protected group under the Charter because cops receive hate speech. We are upset by this absurd petition that victimizes police and the irresponsible framing of this story. /1

g) Indigenous people are routinely murdered at the hands of the WPS and to say their gathering to honour the life of Eishia Hudson – the 16 year old girl murdered by the WPS - amounts hate speech is a true chokehold on freedom of expression and the right to assemble. /9

One day I’ll be in Italy minding my own business and someone will come up and say “hey aren’t you Sarah with the bad face???”

[sar @cloudysubtlety]
