Abolish borders.

Abolish Empire.

I’ve been dealing with a pain flare & heaviness of the last 3 weeks. Tonight I enjoyed the slow life by taking my time cooking. Capitalism wants us to ignore our needs, Accomplish More, to hustle. It’s radical to resist, to care for ourselves, to slow down & enjoy the process, to be present.

starting to think that “securing the canadian border” is at least as much about keeping us trapped in as it is keeping drugs out

Back from my first time as safety at a march. I am realizing that after volunteering like this I find that I’m still satisfied but I’m not as amped up. Instead of feeling ready to fight I feel like I just came home from the fight. Both, I think, are necessary experiences in doing the work.

Really glad I watched this.
Especially with Leonard Peltier’s newfound clemency.

November 5, 2024 started a chain of events that have lead me to choosing to engage in very uncomfortable situations I never saw for myself. I am deeply filled with gratitude for those close to me that are generously holding emotional and educational space for me as I prepare for a harsh future.

I am doing two things this weekend that terrify me and not that long ago couldn’t imagine myself doing. Now I feel as if there is no choice because I don’t know what to do except Resist.
