The coolest thing about the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is how quickly they made it so that almost every Indigenous person either has to work or wants to stay home all day to avoid everything

Yesterday my best friend knew I was going thru it so they came by after work. They brought me raspberries, peaches, and bananas. They were like, "every time I bring you fresh fruit, it makes you cry" lmaooo

My ancestors just appreciate u sharing a bountiful harvest, homie 😭

I'm short on rent for this upcoming month, and my phone is 🤏🏼 this close to breaking, which will cut me off from all sources of income (besides my disability assistance). I spent the last two days basically sleeping. If anyone can help, I could really use it. Mîkwêc.

I'm back home on the east coast right now. Went for a lil trek down to the cove, and there are at least 2 dozen hawks and turkey vultures circling in silence 👀 I've never seen this many together at once... not hawks at least 💀 keeping my eyes open for whatever died around here, holyyyy

I've been asked a few times if I'm still doing beadwork 😅 the answer is a resounding YES!
I haven't posted about it much because I've still been working on the orders for the @/maggiestoronto.bsky.social fundraiser I did, so I haven't made anything besides red umbrellas in a long time.

Nothing yet... I'm sorry to ask again, but I have to. If anyone is in the position to help, I would appreciate it more than I could ever tell you.

Side note: Julia Whelan is the best audiobook narrator in the world, hands-down. And if you read anything Emily Henry writes, you will be forever (positively) changed by how you view people and your relationships w others. You'd also have to actively try to not be a more compassionate person after
I finished an audiobook today, and it was the first time, at the end when they share the copyright info, that they included a piece about that audiobook being prohibited from being used to train AI. It made me simultaneously glad and sad. Glad they're protecting their work, and sad that they have to

An Eastern Tailed-Blue butterfly was fluttering around me while I was sitting in the park today, and I know it was Sheila saying hello 🦋 I'm glad you're safe and okay, my wonderful friend. Thank you for checking in on me. 💙 We miss you so much over here.

I swear I fall in love about a hundred times a day. With people, places, experiences, things... all of it. My heart is permanently open and I wouldn't have it any other way. Life is so beautiful, and all we have is all we have.

Three of my friends— all young people who I cared about very much— have died in the last year and a half. Two are Indigenous and one is Black.
I miss them all dearly and desperately.
I feel like I'm a thousand years old.
I'm absolutely weary in a way I've never felt before.

ICE abuse and violence isn’t starting from scratch.

ICE officers aren’t new grads from ICE school.

ICE abuses immigrants, because US law enforcement abuses residents.

ICE facilities do human rights abuses because US jails and prisons do.

Me beloved friend and mentor, Prof. Sheila Colla, has passed away. She has a husband and two young children who are very much in need of support in this time, and after 20 long months of her illness and treatment. If you can help in any way please do.

I know I can't promise to be fully back, and at the same time, I can promise you that I am, and have been, doing my best. Destroying myself to the point of repeated burnout doesn't help anyone, and I learned that the hard way before. Thank yous all for your patience with me.

Initially, they couldn't find the break on the x-ray, but they could tell it was broken from my wrist itself. Then they came back after having another look and finding a break, and they gave me a splint that only prevents movement in one direction until I see the bone doctor in 2-7 days.
Yeah, it's broken 🤠 this suuuucks 👍

Had a lil crashout on twitter about it, but I'll share the Coles notes version: I gotta go back to the fkn ER. My wrist is either severely sprained, &/or, what seems more likely this time, is a scaphoid fracture. The pain is extremely acute. Any help with life things would be endlessly appreciated 😞

Abolish is better but defunding is a start
“Defund the police” was in fact a great slogan.
