How support your chronically ill or disabled friend
1. Research into their condition
2. Research ableism
3. Make accessible plans
4. Don't pressure them to do stuff while flaring
5. Ask before giving unsolicited advice
6. Offer to help with tasks
7. Understand it's unpredictable

The rain fell all night through the morning til midday. Sounding like a life.
Time pooled. When the rain finally stopped
a mist rose or descended.
The doe ghosting over
wet moss.

Are you ever so overwhelmed on your planning time that you just give up and sit at your desk, staring at the wall for an hour? That's where I am today mentally

If you pay attention to any story today, make it this one.

Iqaluit is under a state of emergency. The capital city is home to more than 7,000 people who now can't drink the city's water, even if boiled, after evidence of fuel contamination was found in the treated water supply.

Half of my problems could be fixed by a wealthy man falling in love with me and the other half could be fixed by taking a trip to Bath

My mom keeps writing longhand letters to editors, draft on draft, urging for a shift in local and national drug response: clean injection sites, decriminalization, treatment programs, stable housing, safe supply.

One of her drafts has an insert, from the margins: my son lived.

aestheticizing support is one thing, radically remaking the world is another

Since I got anonymously threatened with bodily harm about this article, I am posting it again ahead of a very important day. I won't be ruled by hate. Share this and spread it wide.

Week of 8/8 in Scorpio: Once again there are words that hold a dimension. You will say them but will you mean them. Once again there is love that holds true. You mean all of it.

I need people to stop using the term “cultural genocide” when we are literally exhuming Native children’s bodies.

Stop couching.
It’s genocide.
Full stop.

Recap: Yesterday, the City of Toronto designed a paramilitary operation. Sent hundreds of police. Intimidated with horses. Used surveillance technology...Just to remove 25 people living in a park, with nowhere safe to go.

If you're not outraged, you're just not paying attention.
