Brilliant post, Hailey. 👏💜 "...I think the world would be a better place if we could all be honest with ourselves and each other about our complex, multifaceted motivations." - Hailey Gullen
Hayley Gullen@hayleygullen.com · 3mo agoI’m not sure this is actually very controversial. I think a lot of things that we consider “controversial” are simply truths that a lot of people don’t want to face up to. 1/8
Radical Events Ottawa@rad-events-ottawa.bsky.social · 3mo agoComing up in Ottawa: an anti-imperialist conference, a pet grief workshop, a "Fund Healthcare, Not Warfare" bus tour, a protest against the global arms trade, a Food Not Bombs serving, a "No Tyrants" mobilization, an activist choir concert, and much more! www.punchupcollective.org/reo-calendar/
Protests dont work unless they inconvenience the target rather than the public. Marches dont work unless they are drilled, have an occupation objective, as well as meet the requirements already laid out for a protest. Resistance is gunna require more effort and risk, lads.

Calling me a warrior undermines me. Breast cancer, brain tumour, and a lump the size of my head removed from my neck. Dude, let me be sad for five minutes. It's not my job to put you at ease with a happy face. I know you mean well, but just stop. I can be my own cheerleader. #CanSky #OncoSky #Cancer

Yasir Naqvi 🇨🇦@yasirnaqvicdn.bsky.social · 4mo agoWe must celebrate the resilience of transgender and gender-diverse people every day, and recognize the discrimination and violence they continue to face. Everyone deserves to live authentically and safely. Together, we can create a Canada that celebrates everyone’s identity!

Waited 65 minutes for my neurosurgeon to join my Zoom appointment at 9:30am. Called the hospital but hung up after hearing, "You are the 8th caller in line". 90 minutes late now...I am thoroughly annoyed. Furious, in fact. 😡 #FuckDougFord #CanSky #OncoSky
Love this conservation.❤️ "Burrowed among the Christmas tree dunes in Lytham St Annes are one of the UK’s rarest reptiles. Hundreds of sand lizards were released into the sandy mounds in 2020, having not been seen in the area for about 60 years, and conservationists say they are beginning to thrive."

The trees also morph into sand dunes to protect homes on the seafront against rising sea levels and serve as habitat for rare species

#3GoodThings 1. Having Clonazepam to help my brutal anxiety attack. 2. Having energy to make my "prison" prettier. I got lots done in my beautiful attic! 3. Feeding the birds and the bunny in the backyard while they gave me a side-eye of thanks.
Emily Suess@emilysuess.com · 6mo ago#3GoodThings 1. Sunshine and blue skies even though it's cold. It feels hopeful. 2. Ninja'd my way out of a panic attack by telling my brain "thanks, but this isn't actually helpful." 3. I want to do something. Multiple somethings. Anything. I'm healing.
I'm going to force out #3GoodThings because nothing is coming to mind other than that I'm peeing blood, I still don't have an appointment for my brain MRI, and there's a mass on one of my ovaries. 1. I just paid off our LOC 2. I had a bath 3. I found 2 Good Things #CanSky #OncoSky I'm so tired.

@rabbitholer.bsky.social , hi! 😊 Is there any way of mending our #CanSky #CancerBS #OncoSky feed? It cuts off at around a dozen or so posts, and that's very sad for those of us who love to hang out there. 😟 Thank you! 🫶
