When I was homeless in 2019, the Salvation Army shelter refused to give me a bed (even though they were available), because I was on immunosuppressant meds and they didn’t want to be responsible or liable if I got more sick or died on premises. They’d rather I die on the street.

I despise these feel good stories about the community rallying to help out at Food Banks.

Never talk about all the political decisions that don’t help and keep people in poverty. 😡

Print copies are here! They've escaped Canada Post strike purgatory!

I'm keeping a paperback 'cause even though I cook these recipes a lot, I don't have them all memorized.

Sending 2 each to Library and Archives Canada and will scatter some among the Little Free Libraries in #NewWest.

A pile of paperback copies next to a pile of hardcover copies of the book *After the Feast*, which has a green cover and an illustration of a partly carved turkey on a wooden cutting board.
