Small contingent of white supremacists and individuals spec spotted in perimeter of the school board. #wrcsb #flagflap
Another over dozen private security around the perimeter. Be careful and watchful. ##wrcsb ##flagflap
Over 2 dozen officers counted, several unmarked cars, large and growing contingent of right wing support. ##wrcsb ##flagflap
Over a dozen visible officers in marked and unmarked cars. A crowd is forming at the board office. Clearly expecting a different level of action. #wrcsb #flagflap
It's too bad. The social function of FB is so much more intuitive for me than this. But I can't type out great long responses only to have them censored immediately. I put too much thought into it. Ugh.
A reminder that this entire Trans Panic thing is just another shitty step in a long history of fake panics completely invented by political hacks.
Trans people are very likely not affecting your lives at all and they certainly are not the cause of any problems on a national level. It's BULLSHIT.
Topics covered so far are situational awareness, gear and tools, kits for emergency situations, and many more things will be addressed there.
I've started a discord server that's geared at organizing and survival. Waterloo Region, but others might find it useful. I'm a heavy handed moderator and do not tolerate hate or bigotry. But I'm happy to have folk join, learn, contribute discord.com/invite/eDaP3...
Well I guess it's time to wind down fb. I've been shadow banned and had several posts censored pretty much on posting them. I'll still post there because I believe we need fight on many fronts. But me frustration with that platform is increasing.
Watch for things like the Crusades and that imagery and idea (warriors for God) as powerful propagandist tools of Christian nationalism. Portraying the crusader as a tool of justice is a propaganda against the global South, brown, and Indigenous organizing and leadership.
This is a pretty funny story with some solid points to make about kinship across communities, something that is increasingly important
And it is a constant source of amusement to me that the Nanaboozho stories seem to have been written by 12 year old boys what with all the farting and penis waving
It takes until a Palestinian politician quoted in the 20th paragraph of this story before this "remarkable proposal" is accurately described as ethnic cleansing
The decline of survival skills (cooking, craft, sewing, husbandry, any and all relationship to food, water, shelter as primarily aspect of survival) is a programme to deepen and reinforce colonial conquest of Indigeneity. Resurgence of skill is a single facet of remembering our Indigenous roots.
Trumps negotiating of a cease fire had nothing to do with Palestinian liberation or Palestinian lives. It was entirely to double down on the colonial expansion by the state of Israel.

Strawberries in the middle of winter is a signifier of neocolonialism. The trade war is not a liberation from colonialism but use this to learn what it means to eat seasonal food, an actual Indigenous concept.
What an incredible day. I love talking gardens, food forests, food security, and building great outdoor space. Resilience is found in the work of the land.
Oh very this... ticks, mosquitoes, fungus and mould, activate seeds... so many reasons for cold
Good morning, bore da, mino giizheb, bawhn matan
It's a beautiful day. Coffee is ready. Snow is falling. Maybe today I'll write about the critical importance of winter
Awwww bittersweet and beautiful
When I am not compulsively thinking 288 characters at a time or finishing my PhD (defense imminent, friends and comrades) I am doing what ever I am asked to do by the #TEKElders to support their campaign to end #Glyphosate use in Great Lakes forests

Attending PhD defense for @jodikoberinski.bsky.social
What an excellent presentation and defense of her research so far. Jodi, I would love to read your dissertation. Jodi is speaking about Indigenous food systems and sovereignty. Tremendous work.
So the nonsensical part removed and the reconstruction begins. Raised work like this is bas relief sculpture and not always obvious in next step for me yet. But the movement in the work speaks for itself. Beads are fluid in this form. And I love it.

Watching your parents age and the strength drain from these pillars of strength is so momentous. My father, not perfect... but was a physical presence of power and strength coupled with kindness and a strong softness. A weak body is so difficult for him - the rapid decline of Parkinsons
Apparently my dad has been resisting improving the house for his own accessibility because he was sure he was close to death. This breaks my heart so much. My father is so giving, and not realizing that even if he was, my mother wants him to have a good life now.
Red, brown, and cream colored beads on an interface background, raised style, in progress. They is also a needle with a black thread present.
So I put this down for a few weeks because I needed to think about the sculptural quality of this part. Raised work is cool. I knew i wasn't heading in the right direction but needed time to think about what that direction might be... and also have the heart to pull out a bunch of work

Some things never change. Lolol.
I still do that from time to time. 50 years old and I can get lost in video games until I emerge like bat after a hard winter. Lol
Going to start using this. I do appreciate reading feeds here, I'm enjoying it. I'll have to just start sharing i suppose. I left Twitter ages ago with the rise of some violence and general irritation with the nature of brief text based communication- Rampant with misunderstanding, wanton and not.
