Boundaries of normality are policed through colonial medicalized authority. "Normal" people don’t yell and scream, even in the face of constant violence. This is used to turn the image of the angry activist into a tool to delegitimize their demands by Othering them. www.patreon.com/posts/142419...
Boundaries of normality are policed through colonial medicalized authority (Race 2005): ‘normal’ people 
don’t yell and scream, even in the face of constant violence; this conception is used to turn the image of 
the angry activist, yelling and screaming, into a tool to delegitimize the demands of the activist by 
Othering them. Bianca C. Williams argues that these affective stereotypes can show how power functions 
in a society (Williams 2018). It was notable that I heard more than one agonist recommend, as a technique 
to cope with and process intense emotions, crying and screaming into a pillow—so the neighbours won’t 
hear. The scream is cathartic, but the need to perform normality (lest one draw unwanted attention to 
oneself in an alienated social environment and housing crisis that is already hostile to marginalized 
people) constrains the available options for catharsis into situations when one has pillow access and the 
wherewithal to correctly muffle one’s sacred rage. Whether the activist is muffling their cries out of care 
and respect for the neighbours, or out of a trauma-based fear of consequences such as police being called 
or landlord harassment, can be felt in the activist’s body.

We are deeply troubled by the devastation people across B.C. are facing during this wildfire emergency. This is what the climate crisis looks like. Our government continues to choose the fossil fuel industry that is driving this crisis over protecting Canadians.
Graphic from the Green Party of Canada over a photo of an intense orange wildfire. Text reads: “B.C. is under a state of emergency. More than 20,000 people have been forced from their homes, and a woman has now lost her life to the fires. This is life in the climate crisis. It is not normal, and we cannot allow governments to keep treating it like it is to further their fossil fuel agenda. #BCWildfires”

Nanaimo residents have been against building a data centre since day one. That’s why I stood with local advocates and called on the province to regulate big tech and put people over profit. The BC NDP hasn’t acted — now the data centre is forging ahead, while Nanaimo is facing drought conditions.
