Egregious cop-washing in this front-page article about WRPS’s approach to systemic racism. Most of the article is dominated by a police staffer claiming the lack of participation must be due to apathy about racism, not our community’s mistrust of police. No opposing voices interviewed.

Once again, legacy media basically copies and pastes a police press release.

I am still looking to hire a Person-Friday to help with a myriad of adulting and life management stuff to help get my life out of the weeds. Guelph area. See linked toot thread below.

Temperament more important than specific skills. If you're got a driver's license and executive function and are grounded, kind, pragmatic, or know someone who is, boop me.

Boost appreciated.

Danka!

Sigh... Bad news: I am in crisis again. Good news: Who wants a job? Looking for somebody with executive function and a driver's license with the ability to bring some grounding kindness to a burned out autistic trying to get her blazing dumpster fire back down to a smolder. Need help with all sorts of adulting, my cog is just fried. Pretty flex just need extra brains and body. Pay $20/hr 5-10hr/wk. #Guelph area Boosts appreciated.

☝️ also also, I need local IT help. Lots of fiddly things like the OS boot order on my laptop (w Ubuntu). Helping set up and sort out a bunch of stuff on my android phone.
Mostly stuff that would be easy peasy bits for somebody with those skills, but horribly grindy on my broken brain.

Can do as a fun social thing, or also happy to pay for the support, as I know just about everybody is struggling.

Boosts appreciated.

☝️yay! I have floated this balloon a few times, and finally got traction.
We've got a bonafide Signal group for anybody in the vaguely Guelph-ish area!

This is region-specific not mastondon-specific, btw. So if you know anyone not on fedi that would still be interested, DM me for a link to share. Open to anyone interested in building local community and connections - very #spoonie friendly, btw.

Every step, no matter how small or late to happen, is important when dealing with a toxic platform. This is good news from the City of Cambridge here in Waterloo Region.
