(4/4) I’ve always been partial to the works of Amber Dawn. Amber is an educator, a renowned writer, and a sex worker. She is the author of Sub Rosa (2010), How Poetry Saved my Life (2013), Where the Words End and My Body Begins (2015), Sodom Road Exit (2018), and My Art is Killing Me (2020).

(3/4) Sex-working lesbians (both cis and trans) exist, their occupation does not dictate their sexuality, and their safety and autonomy matter. In honour of #InternationalLesbianDay, promote and support both the lesbians in your life and who you admire.

(2/4) Today serves as a reminder to advocate for an end to intersectional lesbophobia. Doing so means eliminating all intersecting oppressions, especially anti-sex worker stigma.

(1/4) #InternationalLesbianDay recognizes and celebrates the history, contributions, and lived experiences of lesbians. It also raises awareness about the challenges they face, which include classism, sexism, ableism, fatphobia, transphobia and transmisia, racism(s), xenophobia, and whorephobia.

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Jim Crow is one obvious source for this, since one definition of racism is “lies you can tell about people without social cost.”

Praying all needs are met and that kindness abound from all hearts. Please be a blessing to someone.

(2/2) Yeah, no. You cannot advocate for women's equality and the betterment of their lives if you exclude ENTIRE GROUPS OF PEOPLE. Patriarchy does much the same. And if patriarchy does this, then how are you "fighting" it? Short answer: you're not. Don't be the patriarchy's puppet.

(1/2) Something important needs to be reiterated for #WomensHistoryMonth (Canada): trans women are women. Sex workers are women. Trans sex workers are women. Much (primarily cis and white) feminist thought excludes sex workers and trans women/femme persons from its movement.

I started reading this earlier at the doctor's office, but then got home, & other priorities took precedence. Given how demoralized I feel, I am returning to it and hoping that posting quotes that resonate as I go may help me with finishing it. Channeling my past self, who read 450+ books in 2017! 🥹

47 VPD officers were paid more than $100K in OT last year, including 7 constables who more than doubled their possible $140K salaries. One sergeant raked in $239K in OT on top of possible $158K salary.

Meanwhile, the force went $6.5M over its $400M+ budget.

Q₉ @q9f.bsky.social · 1d

We felt this impact in our own home with my sister Aleen, born on March 3, 2023. Aleen grew up in a tender environment, surrounded by warmth and care. Her innocent smile became the lantern that lit our days. We watched her discover the world with wide-eyed wonder, as she is the youngest in our family. All of us doted on Aleen. I would buy her new toys constantly and count the days waiting for her to grow a little older so that I could buy her chocolates and cookies.
But childhood in Gaza does not remain untouched. When the genocide began Aleen had not yet completed her first year of life; now she is forced to grow up under unthinkable circumstances.

I remember one night in October 2023 that felt like a nightmare. The Israeli occupation began to bomb Al Zahra Towers, a residential area close to Al Nusierat camp, where we live. With every rocket that rained down, it felt as if our hearts would stop. Each explosion shook the ground beneath us, and we instinctively covered our heads, convinced the next strike would fall on our home. That night, when Aleen was just 7 months old, we placed cotton in her tiny ears, trying to soften the terrifying noise. We were afraid she might be harmed, or even die, from the sheer horror of the sounds.
We tried to shield Aleen by pretending to be cheerful whenever we heard the echo of an explosion, as a psychological defense. But there were nights when the explosions were too sudden, nd we couldn't protect her so easily.

On one such night in January 2024, an Israeli airstrike struck a building near us. The glass from our windows splintered into sharp fragments, and the heavy smell of gunpowder filled the air. Instinctively, I rushed to my little angel. Aleen sat frozen, her face marked by shock, unable even to cry. I scooped her into my arms, held her tightly against my shoulder. Only then did she release a trembling, heart-wrenching cry that seemed to carry all her fear at once.
Her reaction was not from fear of a single night-it was the beginning of a childhood shaped by terror, an experience she shares with children across Gaza.
