As winter storms batter Gaza and cause catastrophic flooding for millions of displaced Palestinians, Israel has banned 37 international humanitarian organizations from working in the Strip, which is reliant on these organizations for survival.

The Andromeda Galaxy (M31).
3 hours worth of exposures.
The first of a scheduled marathon session of well known dark sky #astronomy objects.
It's far too cold to stand out all night!

It is to Canada's shame we have not spoken out or supported a Canadian judge being sanctioned by the US

Her life is frozen. She cannot use credit cards, travel, move money, or access email. This is not sustainable

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life
Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

ICE is gross. In a lawsuit over inhumane detention conditions on floor 6 of ICE building in San Francisco resulted in a preliminary injunction. So ICE moved detainees to floor 5, claiming that skirts the injunction. Judge says, no way.

As month end approaches, I have to post our reminder that we gratefully accept kokum gifts that help us and many others survive right now. I live on a small pension raising teens and it helps so much to have beautiful souls who care about us. It is a lot to overcome alone. Love to all this day💞🪶

Any typos spotted in this post are very relaxed apostrophes who had a delightful Christmas and New Year, punctuating all over the place. If typos spotted, please maybe politely enquire what they're planning on doing with the picnic blanket once they get it home.

New Year, new concerns and always a struggle onward. We did our best over the holiday to help and support others as they needed. Its time for me to focus on us for a bit. And its heavy as always. If you have a life without concerns, can we trade places so I can heal a bit? Love to all 💕 #MutualAid

There’s a lot of speculation about the death of a 44 year old man in an Edmonton ER.

Chronically ill people have been screaming for years about how dangerous the ER can be.

Not enough beds. Not enough staff. Not enough attention paid to misogyny & bias:

"I Won't Go to the ER Unless I'm Literally Dying"
When you're disabled or chronically ill - learning when to seek medical care (and what that care will look like) is a painful and traumatic journey. It often ends in "I will never go to the ER again."

Remember, masks aren’t just for Covid!

They also help protect against colds, flu, measles, RSV and more.

They guard against pollution, wild fire smoke and pollen.

A well fitted respirator can keep you healthy while also protecting those around you.

It’s radical community care.

The orange felon says the Epstein Files are a “Democratic Hoax” and yet he still felt it necessary to doctor documents and hide evidence whilst redacting everything that would be damaging to him.

That’s called GUILTY AF.
