Toot:
Iowa lawmakers want to regulate what kinds of food SNAP recipients can buy.

I get $26/month in SNAP. I’m disabled. I lost my arm at 47.
And I’m tired of being legislated into silence.

So I wrote a response—equal parts truth, rage, and hope.
🎤 “Stigma BINGO… and YAHTZEE!”

Most letter writers to our local newspaper, #TimesColonist are quite conservative & cruel in how they think about marginalized peoples. You rarely see compassion in TC letters published, that Mr. Chris Holiday has shown. I don't know the person but grateful locals like them exist.

"Give more respect to those unhoused
I have been appalled at the increasing level of stigmatization and hatred directed toward the unhoused population.

I live on Pandora Avenue and frequently walk by individuals suffering most severely from our province’s housing crisis. I’ve witnessed individuals in crisis and using threatening language towards passersby but I have also witnessed verbal harassment of unhoused individuals coming from the balconies of luxury apartments.

Public safety is a two-way street, everyone deserves the right to safety and dignity. A 2023 study by the Ministry of Housing reports that 67% of unhoused individuals have lived in their community for more than five years and 23% for their entire lives.

These are our neighbours, and they deserve respect just as much as us who are housed.

Chris Holiday

#December17 is the International Day To End Violence against #SexWorkers. Originally conceptualized by Annie Sprinkle and initiated by the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA, the day brings together sex workers and allies from around the world to raise awareness of #discrimination and violence committed against sex workers and hold vigils to remember victims of violence.
