The homeless on your block is the Gaza in your backyard!

I can't stress this enough. Literally everything Gaza has experienced, short of fighter jet bombing runs, is being done RN by your local politicians, cops and service workers.

Spend sometime OTG in homeless mutual aid and you'll probably see what I'm talking about. The life of homeless people doesn't feel like a war zone or like some series of mistakes. It feels like an intentional genocide when you live it dayin dayout

The 1st of April was a month since I became #homeless. I spent the last couple days deciding what I wanted to say.

First, I'd like to ask everyone to be kind to my fellow #unhoused. Please donate to your local #foodbank, as most are severely underfunded.

Second, if appropriate, please talk with my fellow #unhoused. When I'm handing out food for them I became aware of how many people just wanted someone to speak to.

Thirdly, if you can, go out and find the #streetart/#urbanart in your area. There are beautiful works of #art out there, #graffiti or otherwise.

Fourthly, to the women of the world on behalf of all AMABs, I'm so sorry. You should not have to do the amount you do, endure the attacks you do; and all the while being told men "have it tougher." Women haven't even been considered "persons" under the law in #Canada for 100 years yet. I continue to be awed and humbled by your grace under fire.

And lastly, to my #enby and #trans siblings out there, #youareloved🩷 I know people are being pretty awful to you all and the world is terrifying right now. Yet that is why we need each other.

And if someone comes up and misgenders, anti-queer epithets, or deadnames you, repeat after me:

"I'm the worm up in your brain
Call me by my fucking name
You're the ash, I'm the flame
Call me by my fucking name"

City of Vancouver Gathering Place staff told one of my #homeless peers they could NOT #vote in Apr 5 Vancouver by-election cuz they don't have I.D.

WRONG! Elections BC allows a registered Brirish Columbia voter to vouch for another B.C. resident lacking I.D. (see option 3 ↓). elections.bc.ca/2024-provincia

Elections BC · Voter ID | Elections BCAll voters must prove their identity and residential address before voting in a provincial election. There are three ways to do this in B.C.

Hey folks. The car insurance and loan vultures are circling again for their respective pounds of flesh. Please help me keep them at bay while I get ready for a month or two of training for my new job. It's $220 insurance, $280 car loan, $500 or so total just for those. I also have other expenses including food to cover and once again my accounts are well into the red.

Any amount spare helps, it all adds up.
