Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…
A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

I have several appts over the next few days and could use some help for those. As well, we help a few elders with food supports and we share everything so others are surviving. If you can help, it would be so appreciated. Love to all this day. Stay warm and enjoy the day 💕🪶#MutualAid

We could use some help for the next several days, laundry and food and gas. Other than that, we are slowly climbing from the near eviction and have too stay housed. Love to everyone for reading and sharing if you can. 💕🪶

"I like to envision the whole world as a jigsaw puzzle... If you look at the whole picture, it is overwhelming and terrifying, but if you work on your little part of the jigsaw and know that people all over the world are working on their little bits, that's what will give you hope."

This week's note is all about SNAP and how to help. It includes lots of resources—from food bank and community fridge locators to mutual aid ideas.

It also includes resources to help kids understand food insecurity and involve them in your community care.

When you're hungry, food is hope.

Just a reminder that raging against injustice is a great thing especially today, especially now and forever.
The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love. This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all. You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water. And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. - Nikita Gill

“This immigration issue is a remnant of Subu’s original case. Since that wrongful conviction has now been officially vacated and all charges against Subu have been dismissed, we have asked the immigration court to reopen the case and consider the fact that Subu has been exonerated.”

More cats! 👇

A closed wooden stand that's haphazardly covered in hand-painted signs for Jesus, snow cones, chiles, art, and a low rider museum. There's a painting of Jesus just above a painting of a blue low rider. An American flag hangs next to Jesus.
