“A is for alone”
Illustrator Gyo Fujikawa portrayed childhood innocence in the backdrop of #antiasianhate; her parents & siblings sent to WW2 internment camps to live in racetrack horse-stalls.
Anti-Asian racism runs deep in North America. Yet we survive, create, tell stories.
Who the fuck is this officer? @HamiltonPolice He needs a wellness check yesterday!
This is #HamOnt. This is why we say @DefundHPS. Notice how she never raises her voice, yet he accuses her of being "unreasonable" and not listening, while repeatedly talking over her and threatening her with arrest for property damage that never happened. Then he lunges at her

I can’t believe how quickly a house can become engulfed in flames.

Please help my best friend @Amrhazemlatif through a devastating house fire 🔥 Owning his own cleaning company, he’s ineligible for benefits. #BIPOC #Queer student housemates also have no savings, recourse to any supports.

I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with the good folks at blk., one of my favorite functional drinks, to help them get the word out.

I can’t help but think that my moms threat text messages died with her. I’ve always held @HamiltonPolice responsible for this, my mother reported them many times. There is so many witnesses of those threat messages till this day, me being one. #defundHPS #investinhousing
I remember calling the women shelter prior to my moms murder. Everyday at least once a day. They were full, all of them and this was december, January of 2008-2009. Specially during covid, more needs to be done.
Yesterday we put 2 people into hotels ourselves because the women's shelters were not avalible hotels by the city were not avalible. One of the women didn't "qualify" for hotel space by the city.
This is cool but 53 units are not enough. More needs to be done. #HousingForAll

At around 1:30 PM today the Hamilton Police pulled over a car with multiple black youth. One of the youth who was tackled by police is underage. This is how police in our city move. Why was this level of force neccessary?

Refocusing on unhoused ppl, there is virtually no health information, no resources that can protect you if you don’t have a home. #HamOnt poverty Czar Paul Johnson’s quotes in the latest CBC coverage of #defundHPS is shameful; he says folks are choosing to be homeless...
Who would ever choose to be homeless in this weather?
The criteria of being unhoused, itself, is a complex health indicator. I’m trying to keep people made vulnerable by multiple systems safe. But there is no way to reflect this urgency, for this to be seen as far as the official #Ontario guidelines. #HamOnt #PublicHealth 2/2

In trying to get asymptomatic #COVIDー19 testing, I realized:
-I have a #covidalertapp but %90 of ppl I’ve been around- aged 17-27, do not.
-my contacts have included many unhoused people, people in/out of encampments. They have no phones, no masks, no hand hygiene

So what are you planning to do with the remaining in budget? We know you used some of it to forcefully remove peaceful protesters & dump trucks to dump the tents of homeless people. SMH @HamiltonPolice @DefundHPS @FredEisenberger @HamiltonsMayor #DEFUNDHPS #HamOnt #homelessness

4 of us got into the lobby of city hall despite being locked out. Now we are waiting for the Mayor to come talk to us.
