Cops murdered a black girl in Toronto this week too but Canadians are too up their own asses about how we’re “Not the racist ones! That’s only America! We’re the nice ones :)” to acknowledge it or do anything about it

[mooonbride]

Cops in Canada are just as racist and evil please Canada wake the fuck up

Her name was Regis Korchinski-Paquet, she was a 29 year old Afro-Indigenous woman. She was pushed off of her own balcony by the Toronto police and fell to her death. They are reporting it as a suicide.

Say her name. Do not let them cover this up.

If you are able, you can donate to her family’s legal and memorial fund here.

And here is a google doc with contact information for the local representatives with a template email/phone script.

Guided by bright golden light I am sinking more and more into depths of my being. I am on my way home, finding my inner sanctuary and a season of my own.

[Image reads: ‘I diagnosed “abdominal pain” when the real problem was hunger; I confused social issues with medical problems in other patients, too. I mislabeled the hopelessness of long-term employment as depression and the poverty that causes patients to miss pills or appointment as noncompliance. In one older patient, I mistook the inability to read for dementia. My medical training had not prepared me for this ambush of social circumstance. Real-life obstacles had an enormous impact on my patients lives, but because I had neither the skills nor the resources for treating them, I ignored the social context of disease altogether. - Laura Gottlieb, MD, San Francisco Chronicle 8/23/101’. Description end.

like notice that the widespread “destigmatization” of mental illness doesn’t seem to have helped slow its occurrence. in fact it mostly just birthed a bunch of new parasitic micro industries like self-care products and therapy and astrology apps that turn disorders into identity markers you sustain by buying shit, including medication
