Things that have made me uncomfortable on public transit:

1) rowdy intoxicated groups

2) men who approach me when i’m alone at night

3) strangers who make inappropriate or lewd comments

4) spiders

5) when a man sat on me when i was alone in a metro station at night

6) the time a guy literally followed me from Verdun to my street in Pierrefonds and i needed to go into a tim hortons for safety. 

Things that have never made me nervous on public transit:

1) People wearing religious garments

[Untitled: After Bill 62, We Are Talking]

A room full of tired sunlight was all our year left. I went inside to become a memory but didn’t turn into one. To be an evanescent body was to fail your own. Every name left by our mothers made it impossible to drag us outside. The crushed glass was a memory not of violence but of endurance; of them shattering what wouldn’t burn. I said my name and you heard a bomb chewing itself nearby. I said Muslim and you didn’t hear at all. ✨ || art journal + poetry (a piece opposing the implementation of Bill 62 of Quebec that attacks religious freedom; banning face-veil) #Bill62
