It's been an incredibly frustrating day with Vancouver passing an austerity budget that will cut funding for important public services and infrastructure and fire hundreds of staff, even after over 600 speakers, including myself, speaking out against the harm that this budget will do to our city.

Just came back from the diaper "change-in" event at Vancouver City Hall. What a great turnout! We even sang some well-loved baby songs ) with brand new lyrics written by @margiesanderson.bsky.social (make sure to listen to my video in the comments)!

As you may have heard, Vancouver’s proposed 2026 budget will mean over $120 million in service cuts, and our most vulnerable populations will bear the burden of these cuts, including women - one of the cuts that have been proposed is removing change tables and period product dispensers!

I attended the VIFW #reddress event w/ @caitlinstockwell.bsky.social, and it was like no other event I've been to. I was both moved and inspired by the strength and beauty of the words, performances, and work of the speakers, singers, dancers, designers, and other artists.
