Rolling with life as it comes. Crazy, multiply disabled, housewife. If you're not here for love, then don't be here.

Systemic racism against Indigenous Peoples in Canada is very real and present, especially in the health system.

Today, Joyce Echaquan, an Indigenous woman from Manawan First Nation, died in horrible conditions and around racist staff at Joliette hospital in Montreal city. She shared a live video of her on Facebook crying for help in her mother tongue, saying that she received too much medication. In the video, we can also hear two caregivers saying violent and harmful words to her, like “fucking fat woman, it’s better if you’re dead” “are you done joking around” 

This is so revolting, and unfortunately it’s a reality for the Indigenous community here. They’re completely marginalized. The health care system doesn’t care about them.

I can’t really express the pain I felt for the past two days. I cried all day, I was only thinking about the family. I didn’t know until recently that she is family, she is my mom’s cousin and it breaks my heart.

Those pictures are from different community, different nations from Quebec. Even non-indigenous were there, for Joyce Echaquan… another stolen sister.

If u want to donate this is the site where u can donate. The money will go to the family

Reminder that puffins are extremely social and like to fit in with their friends, so they will adopt mannerisms and interests of the group. So there is a good chance this little guy is trying to be friends with the photographer by showing his interest in the camera.

[willow-wanderings]

TIL photographers are a lot like puffins, cuz we also make friends by showing interest in your camera XD

[dykelliewilliams]

Reminds me of the time researchers were trying to get puffins to land in a specific area so the put decoys up to draw them in but the decoys only had 1 leg and

Last week, the free pantry outside the Birmingham Free Store was smashed and all of its contents destroyed. We don’t want to say it was the cops, but everyone’s pretty sure it was the cops - they had been spotted eyeing the store and taking pictures multiple times leading up to this, likely pissed off by the banner we had put up in support of George Floyd + all of the anti-cop and openly anarchist literature we distribute

Within 24 hours we had received a new, even bigger pantry and more donations than we knew what to do with so we could stock it back up. We’re showing them that we’re not intimidated and we’re not going anywhere. We have the community on our side

If you want to support queer-affirming mutual aid and reproductive justice in a historically poor and Black neighborhood in Alabama, donate to the Free Store!!! We’re on both patreon and venmo at @bhamfreestore - the patreon covers supplies and running costs, and the venmo is a virtual tip jar that compensates the volunteers who keep it running

[anarchopuppy]

Update: The Free Store has recently lost the support of some major donors that were helping to keep the store running. Without that consistent support, it’ll be increasingly difficult to provide life-saving COVID safety resources (and more) to the over 300 people who depend on them. That’s why they need help from all you wonderful allies and accomplices across the world

Here’s a few things you can do:

Subscribe to the Free Store’s patreon to provide stable, recurring support that can be relied on for continued operation

Make a one-time monetary donation to their venmo (@bhamfreestore) or cashapp ($bhamfreestore)

Donate hygiene supplies, household items, seed packets, communist propaganda, or whatever else they can give away in bulk. If you live in Birmingham, bring it to 2030 Bessemer Rd during operating hours (see their social media for more info). If you don’t, you can now mail donations to P.O. Box 110429, Birmingham, AL, 35211-0429

Help get them connected to big donors, sponsors, grants, suppliers, distros, and co-conspirators - especially those that align with their values. Something like an anarchist mask-sewing or sanitizer-brewing collective that’s willing to give us a discount in solidarity would be kickass. Other, less kickass connections would also be very appreciated. Email [email protected] if you have any info that might help

Local Bham/Alabama businesses, organizations, nonprofits - let’s collab. There are several ways you might be able to help, such as allowing the Free Store to put up a donation box in your building which they will come by to empty every week (or as often as needed). Again, email [email protected] if you’re interested in supporting

Spread the word!

The Free Store has been such an awesome development for Bham and I’d love to see it continue to provide for the community and grow. Please signal boost this post!

It's funny how straight men are often intimidated by butches when really, femmes are the scariest lesbians.

[homo-sex-shoe-whale]

Butches will maybe throw a punch at you after telling you to back off a few times while femmes will downright stick a heel in your eye

i turned on the light in the dining room but Tubby had been sleeping in a chair and it woke her up and she was Not Pleased

[unpretty]

[unpretty]

It’s so fucking weird to see Tubby on my dash from just like a random unrelated blog I follow. That’s just my best friends’ cat. I commissioned a plate painted with her likeness.

a poll for my followers especially you lovely wlw:

is this poem from the first world war written by a lesbian

[savouryduck]

[text transcription:

A Munition Worker

I thought she was Aphrodite:

She strode among the others with a cold scorn;

Her throat was open, and her strong shoulders

Moved muscular beneath the cotton blouse.

Her lips were thin and unflinching.

But I thought her eyes might be tender–

Her contempt of weakness leavened with pity.

I admired her the more because her strength was silence,

And when she spoke her words fell softly.

I wanted to give her the sea for a lover,

Or a storm-mad wind.

Sara E. Bennett

it takes years to learn the difference between who to let go and who to be patient with. the same way it takes years to know what you deserve and what you don’t. so hang on there, growth and experience come with time.
