The issue w/ current discourse of resistance is the focus on who the “real criminals” are instead of the process of criminalization by which certain people, groups & actions will *always* be framed as threats/violent while enabling others to engage in extreme forms of violence w/ absolute impunity.

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming?
Both. It's both.
Both. It's both.

So I live in a community where there was a recent homicide, and the police are still conducting an “ongoing investigation”. As part of this… apparently they have decided to do loops of my neighbourhood every 30 minutes once the sun goes down.

The iconic Sullivan's Pond geese have returned home after their winter break at Hope for Wildlife! Seen splashing in the pond this morning, walkers are taking notice. Another sure sign of spring!

I’d rather pay bridge tolls and see GBV properly funded.
This budget is a joke.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.
President Trump’s order freezing trillions of dollars in federal grants and loans sent officials at schools, hospitals, nonprofit organizations and many others into a frantic scramble to understand the extent of the directive. Here's what to know.
Order to pause federal spending creates deep uncertainty for schools, nonprofits and companies.

So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.
When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.

A reminder that already in the 1980s artist & activist David Wojnarowicz was modeling the kind of fuck-you energy we're going to need in the coming years. He had no illusions the government was there to protect him, the people he loved & his community, and neither should we

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:
we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.
the climate crisis is here, all around us

I need someone to explain to me why it’s always “if you can’t pay rent, buy fewer lattes and avocado toasts” and not “if you can’t pay your employees a living wage, buy fewer yachts and real estate”.
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.

Happy Winter Solstice to all in the northern hemisphere.
The turn of the year's tide, a pivot-point, a day of hope—when the dark stops rising & after which the Sun begins its slow climb back.
A day I celebrate more than Christmas or New Year.
Fiat lux!

Chelsea Manning and other trans people hold sit in inside of bathroom across from Speaker Johnson’s office.

In NS, in under 3 weeks, 3 women were killed by their intimate partner this fall.
while members of gov said IPV wasn’t an epidemic.
IPV is an epidemic. the housing crisis lends to it. People are staying in unsafe situations because they have no where else to go.
Housing is violence prevention

Here's your daily reminder that bookstores keep the love of reading alive — but they also keep neighborhoods beautiful. They are places to gather, to celebrate stories, to find community.
Please do your holiday shopping at your local independent bookstore, if you are lucky enough to still have one.
