"Tryna' live a laugh, bite my tounge
Bet I can set it off when I'm having fun
Tell me that's enough when I got it wrong
Well, you can't please everyone"

I walked 145 kilometres in the past seven days (#unhousedexercise), here's some #art I found.

#The #sixtiesscoop was a period in which a series of policies were enacted in Canada that enabled child welfare authorities to take, or "scoop up," Indigenous children from their families and communities for placement in foster homes, from which they would be adopted by white families. Despite its name referencing the 1960s, the Sixties Scoop began in the mid-to-late 1950s and persisted into the 1980s.

It is estimated that a total of 20,000 Indigenous children were taken from their families and fostered or adopted out primarily to white middle-class families as part of the Sixties Scoop."

We took their babies.

The 1st of April was a month since I became #homeless. I spent the last couple days deciding what I wanted to say.

First, I'd like to ask everyone to be kind to my fellow #unhoused. Please donate to your local #foodbank, as most are severely underfunded.

Second, if appropriate, please talk with my fellow #unhoused. When I'm handing out food for them I became aware of how many people just wanted someone to speak to.

Thirdly, if you can, go out and find the #streetart/#urbanart in your area. There are beautiful works of #art out there, #graffiti or otherwise.

Fourthly, to the women of the world on behalf of all AMABs, I'm so sorry. You should not have to do the amount you do, endure the attacks you do; and all the while being told men "have it tougher." Women haven't even been considered "persons" under the law in #Canada for 100 years yet. I continue to be awed and humbled by your grace under fire.

And lastly, to my #enby and #trans siblings out there, #youareloved🩷 I know people are being pretty awful to you all and the world is terrifying right now. Yet that is why we need each other.

And if someone comes up and misgenders, anti-queer epithets, or deadnames you, repeat after me:

"I'm the worm up in your brain
Call me by my fucking name
You're the ash, I'm the flame
Call me by my fucking name"

"My mother said that I was holy
My father said that I would burn
My mother said I was an angel
My father said that I would turn
So I believed these words and I turned on myself
'Cause maybe he's right, maybe I'm worthless
Or maybe he's wrong and my mother was right
I got a killer in my to give me purpose"
