It’s amazing how when I put boundaries in place the response is to both play victim and say “block me” then tell me I’ll be muted when they came to *my* timeline and engaged in a problematic way.
Good fucking gods, can’t say I missed this kind of bullshit the last few weeks.

Respectfully, the majority of mass shooters at schools are young white men or white men if we broaden to mass shootings. The historic and current day data is there. Actively ignoring the root causes, warning signs or neglecting to take action (gun control) is a choice that has dire consequences.

I need to go back to sleep. Sadly, I live near one of the city’s favourite strips for drag/street racing and have been hearing revving engines off and on for the last half hour.

So, this is concerning. We’re saying things that didn’t used to be said out loud rather loudly, no? The US falls more and more into fascism on the daily. But let’s just name this was already the plan. They’re just capitalizing on the event.
"White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed Friday that he and President Donald Trump would use this week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk to “dismantle” the organized left using state power."

What a privileged to merely realize this and not experience/live it regularly. Sadly, this is not something many actually forget. Especially those who are considered to be from marginalized communities. More so those who are outspoken from and do advocation for said communities.
I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Respectfully, I have no “hot takes” I feel like sharing about Charlie Kirk’s death; however, after watching one day of the fall out of it I will say I am genuinely afraid of what comes next.

Canada has abandoned the path of reconciliation and nation-to-nation building in favour of a continuation of ruthless settler capitalism disguised as “elbows up” nationalism. This isn’t going to end well.
Prime Minister Mark Carney tells Chiefs there will be no amendments to Bill C-5 in closed door talks, according to audio leaked to APTN News.

This seems counterproductive given there’s already been a stark decrease in tourism. This is going to have the opposite effect they’re trying to have. It will further deter people from travelling and negatively impact the economy.

When receiving my markings yesterday my tattoo artists 2 year old son was present with his mom and was happily drumming at a big drum (and had a rhythm or song in his head as he kept repeating the same beats) and blew bubbles with a bubble gun for me while I sat. Reclamation has its sweet moments.

Settler Canadians don’t seem to recognize that Canada Day is largely just celebrating their own power and privilege. The over patriotic grandioseness is so off putting especially given colonial governments recent pushes against the rights of Indigenous peoples. #Bill5ON #Bill14BC #Bill15BC
