kinda sucks that there's only one day a year it's acceptable to put on a diaper and shoot arrows at people
Being trans is a prayer for something better. Transness is belief in a better world.

Local man intimately familiar with losing tells others to stop doing that.
Andrew Boozary MD MPP in • 1st Executive Director - Social Medicine and Population Health 1h • O It's been one year since we opened Dunn House - Canada's first social medicine housing initiative. And this has been family over the past year. It still feels unreal sometimes. What started as a "radical" idea - that health begins with home - became a place where people who were living inside and out of hospitals, shelters, or on the street could finally exhale. A year later, the preliminary data is staggering. Emergency Department visits for the tenants have plunged by over 50%. And days spent in hospital have similarly plummeted by nearly 80%. But the real drive for change, I hope, is how human dignity and health economics are completely aligned. The first story is from Victoria Gibson at the Toronto Star - about Jason Miles, a man whose addiction and homelessness cost more than $260,000 through ER visits, shelters, and jail stays. Not because he wanted that path, but because there wasn't another one. The second is from Liam Casey in the CBC, about our University Health Network teams and community partners deciding to try something different and center those patients that been sidelined in the health system. The cost calculus is clear when it can be over $50k per month in hospital, $15k in provincial jail and $4k for supportive housing. I believe both these stories show the cost of crisis - and the return on compassion. It's still early, and there's a lot more to do across the province. But one year in, I'm certain of this more than ever: housing is healthcare. compassion saves lives. and dignity has to be designed into the system - not left to Chance.

“When Dr. Andrew Boozary and his team at Toronto's University Health Network looked deeper into the issue, they discovered that about 100 patients accounted for more than 4,500 emergency department visits in one year.”

The most amazing part of this is that the far right didn't target her because she celebrated Kirk's death or even threw his own words back at them.
She merely expressed a well-founded worry that his murder might inspire the far right to greater violence and they apparently took that as a challenge.
On The Current just now, Matt Galloway amplified that Kirk’s shooter was “radicalized by the left” and “has a transgender romantic partner“ as motives for the shooting. Left as-is, no questions.

I’m actually gonna get out of my replies and use this story to highlight something that I haven’t for a while: the complete lack of transparency and communication from our public agencies in B.C./Canada. So here’s a thread
