Today in white feminist things you can't make up:
A candidate running for OPSEU President quoted Mariame Kaba & Kelly Hayes in one breath and then *refused* to support a ceasefire in Palestine when asked.

I am barely on this app any more but wanted to jump on to point out that a year ago, 1 in 10 Canadians had long COVID and now it's 1 in 9.
When are we going to stop accepting this lack of safety and unnecessary risk?

Imagine considering yourself progressive and sending this email while the death toll on Gaza reaches 9,000. With no mention of what's happening.
How are we expected to support the NDP when they exiled one of the only members who stood for Palestine during a literal gen*c!de?

I've lived in Ottawa for 6 yrs.
It took 3 yrs to get a family doctor. She left within 6 mo.
I got another GP in 2021.
She just emailed to say she's closing her practice.
I can't express how broken our system is and how much damage it does to people like me w complex medical needs

Any caucus that wouldn't celebrate Sarah Jama as a member is a caucus that is neither progressive nor willing to defend basic human rights. What a dramatically low bar to fail.

Love, rage, and solidarity to Team Jama today. Free Palestine 🍉

Me waiting for my Instagram ban to end after leaving a supportive comment on a post from a journalist in Gaza.

We need to have a serious conversation about what it means to rely on these channels in times of crisis.

The hypocrisy of the Ontario NDP is stunning. You publicly dressed down Sarah Jama last week. You sent emails prohibiting MPPs from calling out Israel's crimes and now when your 'strategists' have run their numbers do you express some humanity.

Dear Mark Sutcliffe
If you want the city to 'invest in itself' I have thousands of neighbours facing a housing crisis & broken transit.
Yesterday, I watched a neighbour struggle to move out of the way of oncoming traffic w a toddler & a stroller because we don't have sidewalks.

A reminder that false reports about violence against children aren't new & were used in the 90s to justify invading Iraq. Almost like the West has a pattern of portraying Muslim countries as barbaric & less human to justify their imperialist attacks.

If this site wasn't mid-supernova, I would be able to add a Spiderman pointing at Spiderman image here.

Instead, here's an article about Ontario's new Greenbelt protection law that was definitely drafted in good faith.
