@lesmis456 @5000keys send me a DM; I may be able to give you a hand

@5000keys My frustration isn’t that I can’t get another thing. It’s that I’ve tried a bunch of things and I’m still dealing with a curtain rod that randomly falls a week after I put it up

I’m so pissed that I can’t even put up fucking curtains in my apartment. The walls don’t hold screws, putting up adhesive Velcro pulls the paint off on one side and renders the stickiness useless and the curtain just falls and terrifies me. I just need a fucking curtain!

@CBCAlerts @JohnTory this is the most a**-backwards response to budget shortfalls. Eliminate funding to cash strapped essential services while increasing funding for the Police, who criminalize and kill the people made more vulnerable by your cuts.

Toronto Mayor John Tory is asking the federal and provincial governments for funding help as the city stares down a $1.35 billion deficit. Potentially on the chopping block, he said, are: transit, homelessness services and child care. cbc.ca/1.5648951

@lesmis456 Quick! Cancel the cancelling!

“We must put an end to cancel culture” sorry but if you do and say shitty things I’m still gonna think you’re shitty and your shitty letter isn’t gonna just... make that go away?

@anabailaoTO @SisteringTO #SocialJustice will only begin to happen when you vote to #DefundThePolice. @SisteringTO are fantastic and their jobs would be vastly easier if they were better resourced and the people they serve weren't criminalized. No photo-ops til you do the work.

Joined @SisteringTO to unveil this new mural installation along Bloor St. W. It reads: “Until all of us have made it, none of us have made it” This is a quote from Rosemary Brown (the first Black women to be an MPP in BC and a social worker) #PublicArt for #SocialJustice

@JohnTory, people have been shouting the obvious solution at you and painting it on the street for more than 6 weeks. #DefundThePolice

which abolitionist should we appoint to run the RCMP?

"As one of the journalists Mesley intended to interview, I would like to know which of us she was quoting, and from what source."

"BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DEFUND THE POLICE?" "Hi, Mr. Brooks. I'm w/ The Dept. of You OK? So, you OK? Looks like you fell asleep in your car. Lemme get you a ride home. I'll be by your home tomorrow to check on you. Here's my number. Looks like your ride's here. Good night, sir."

Demands laid out by Black Lives Matter Vancouver after days-long action: a thread

This need for change is URGENT. It is our job to force the people in power to admit that there is something profoundly WRONG with how things are, and get them to CHANGE IT. 11/ #BlackLivesMatter #AbolishThePolice

Instead, please go use your fine rhetorical skills and desire to subtly shift the system to bother the people who don't want to change a damned thing. 10/

Here’s something I don’t understand: why is it that white people (and it’s always white people) who identify as “on the left” and “not pro-police” and “we definitely need to change something” insist on arguing against people who want to abolish police? 1/
