Haven’t been here for awhile. Anyway, things have been weird and my set is being even weirder. This is pretty surrealist. About 10 hours in. It will likely be 50-60 hrs total. #surrealistsrt #GondolaEmpressChair #ADHD #OCD #NeuroArt

Watching POSE for the 100th time & bawling my eyes out for the 100th I was born in ‘81 and some the adults in my life had to fight theses battles for 2SLGTBQIa+ rights. Within a single generation, these hard won rights are being erased again. Rewatching this series hits different right now.

I’m back at it! One of my favourite things to do is to make massive quantities of soup and share it with coworkers and community members. There are a few reasons for doing this. 1.) Soup is love. 2.) Community building 3.) I get soup! #SoupExchange #MutualAid #BreakingBread #FeedYourNeighbours

Benita Long disappeared. So why wasn't she added to this missing person database?

I talk about this often when I speak on Relationship Anarchy as means of creating circles of care to reduce dependency on the state. I also hold that RA means the dissolution of hierarchies with our more than human kin.

It's all about relationship with our non-human relatives. That's not just me being poetic or woowoo, every living thing on this planet evolved from a common ancestor, hence we are all related. If we remember that and work with the biological structures and systems in place we can all thrive.

I like pacifists and people who have a heavy emotional identification with deathism and war would probably call me a pacifist, but I am a non-invasivist rather than a non-violentist. That is, I believe that an invaded people have the right to defend themselves by any means necessary. This includes putting ground glass or poison in the invaders' food, shooting at them from ambush, sabotage, the general strike, armed revolution, etc. It's up to the invaded to decide which of these techniques they will use. It's not up to some moralist to tell them which techniques are permissible.

@Forever_noir_
Marx didn't create communism.
All he did was examine capitalism scientifically. Socialism existed in forms, especially in the global south, before Marx. Does that mean you shouldn't read Marx and his contemporaries? No.

Why? Because the version of capitalism we are fighting today, is evolved from the version that Marx and his contemporaries observed. They formulated how to fight it.
Our contemporaries formulated how to fight it. Why ignore any revolutionary theory.

Gentle reminder: The fight for abortion rights and the fight for sex workers' rights are inherently connected because the major opposition to both is rooted in the idea that women do not deserve bodily autonomy and cannot be trusted to know what's best for them.

Canada's Foreign Aid Spending
Canada's international assistance spending increased to approximately 1.6% of the 2021 federal budget, up from 1.0% in 2020. The amount allocated for foreign aid in the federal budget has fluctuated; for instance, it was CAD$8.4 billion in 2021, CAD$6.6 billion in 2020, and CAD$6.4 billion in 2019. As of the latest data available, the exact percentage for the current fiscal year is not specified, but the trend shows a commitment to increasing the allocation for international assistance.
