To be clear, I got a security guard fired for harassing an encampment that was already being targeted by assholes, such as the pair who fired PAINT BALL GUNS at them in the middle of the night, and whose residents just experienced an encampment fire.
The security company has not returned.
Mr. WhatAreYaGonnaDoAboutIt just gave me the tools to do it with.
Until there are better systems in place, sometimes you just have to work with what you're given.

So, this is a real good use for mansions and estates everywhere -- #CommunityHousing !
We all share a 15-acre Georgian mansion for the price of a two-bed house
Natalie Grice, 29 August 2026
"Dreams of living in a Georgian manor house with 15 acres of grounds would usually be associated with a big lottery win.
"But for the residents of Dol-llys Hall on the outskirts of Llanidloes, Powys, no windfall was necessary.
"The Grade II listed building is home to a collection of ordinary people who have chosen to live cooperatively - sharing responsibility for maintaining the home and its grounds and trying to live as sustainably as possible.
" 'You have got a ready-made village mentality where people just help each other out,' says Louise Robinson, one of the longest serving of 10 residents at the hall.
" 'There's six other flats going 'what can we do?' And that means a lot."
Louise Nicholson is a middle-aged white woman with shoulder length dark grey hair. She wears grey framed photo-reactive glasses, a light blue v-neck t-shirt with a lily pad white emblem on the front. She is smiling at the camera. Behind her is the main entrance to Dol-llys Hall. There are two dark wooden doors with arched fanlights above which open from the middle of a curved porch-type entrance. The building is painted yellowy-cream. There are arched windows to the left of the door visible. A mop handle and a piece of wooden furniture can be seen to the right of the doors."The hall, which has served as a school and a care home as well as a former stately home over the years, now holds seven flats within its walls and a number of #communal living areas and #SharedFacilities like washing machines and heating.
"Louise first came across Dol-llys after she was made redundant from her insurance job in London. She found herself spending more and more time away from the city, enjoying walking in the rural countryside, and realised she wanted to live there permanently.
" 'I'm a single person, so moving to a country village on your own is not that easy,' she says.
" 'Somebody mentioned [intentional] communities and said 'have you heard about them?''
"After investigating quite a few, she knew she did not want to live somewhere where she only had a bedroom and everything else was shared. And at Dol-llys, where she moved in early 2020, she found the perfect combination of community and privacy.
" 'We term ourselves as #cohousing, because we all have our separate flats,' she says, and that the set-up is not a commune.
" 'We share the grounds, we share the common rooms, we share responsibilities and decision-making, but we all have our front doors, which I think is important to everybody who chooses to live here.' "

‘We can’t wait’: Why this Toronto non-profit is rushing to build a #MicroShelter community
The city says it can’t find land for micro shelters, so #TinyTinyHomes found its own. Now the non-profit is fundraising to build a 10-shelter community by the end of the year
“Winter is coming up again and people will be outside again this winter. So we can’t wait,” said Donais.

#KitchenerON - Building for the Future!
#Engagewr has been described as "the closest thing the Region has to participatory democracy, in that it posts projects that the cities/townships/region are working on and solicits feedback from the people living there / using the amenities to guide the ways in which they are doing the project."
Welcome to Kitchener 2051!
"As Kitchener grows to become a city of up to 450,000 people, we need a new plan. A new Official Plan will guide growth and shape the way that neighbourhoods evolve and change. The new Official Plan needs to be ambitious and clear in our intentions as we plan for the Kitchener of 2051.
Kitchener 2051 is about the people who call Kitchener home today and in the future
That includes #IndigenousPeople, #newcomers, longtime residents, business owners and entrepreneurs. It’s about our community today but also about the people who are not yet here. Like the young people who will grow old in our community, the family looking to move to Kitchener, or the student who will call our community home after graduation. Kitchener 2051 looks at how we move around the city and the places in between. It is about what we will need to do together to grow, adapt, and succeed in a #resilient and complete city.
Kitchener 2051 needs to consider a full range of perspectives to ensure that the Official Plan reflects the needs of all. This includes communities often underrepresented in these processes, like equity-denied communities, renters, and people who have experienced #homelessness, #poverty and #HousingPrecarity.
Along the way, we will learn from the community as we shape an Official Plan that reflects who we are, what we value, and the Kitchener we can become."

Is Urbanism Inherently Left-Wing?
Better transit, cycle lanes and housing shouldn't be partisan issues, but they are—especially in the US.

What angers me even more is that those NIMBY people try to block housing in the name of a healthy marine ecosystem and climate solution.

Some days you get the kind of win that makes Doug Ford apoplectic.
❝
"I wish I could get that guy's address. I'll send 15 encampments in his backyard and see how he likes it. The craziest decision I've ever heard. But there are a lot of crazy decisions coming from our courts lately," Ford said.
❞
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/premier-doug-ford-comment-kitchener-encampment-ruling-9.7208836Also: Fuck you, CBC. They were clearing the encampment FOR A PARKING LOT, MOTHERFUCKERS.
We were literally celebrating this with the KW peeps last night. They have it DOWN when it comes to pursuing the Charter challenges vis-à-vis unhoused folks. Shout out to CJC for their care as well.

Last night's disruption at the Landlord Awards Ceremony (ridiculous fucking idea) at the MTCC, was masterful.

They steal it.Imagine a bunch of parasites patting themselves on the backs for doing that.

The City pretended to be negotiating with the residents of the encampment at Dufferin Grove Park, only to execute one of the worst clearings yet, this morning.Have some things to say later.

Today in Jesus fucking Christ I hope your house burns to the ground:
The housed residents around this encampment apparently came up with a suggestion to CUT DOWN ALL THE TREES in this park so that the unhoused people had no shade and would have to leave.
Up early doing #CommunityDefence which doesn't involve arson.
Edited because voice-text and too tired to proofread. Expect some very specific ranting later today.

Also, if you're near Dufferin Grove Park, the City is up to its malicious mischief again.

The Safer Municipalities Act will, if passed, put protecting the safety of all residents first by helping clear public spaces and end the public use of illegal drugs.“We have heard loud and clear from the people of Ontario: They want their parks and public spaces to be protected and safe for everyone to enjoy,” said Rob Flack, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “Municipal leaders have asked for more tools and support to end encampments and public illegal drug use, and we will do whatever is necessary to help municipalities get the job done and help those facing addiction and mental health challenges."

Sad to be missing out on this, but bordering on burnout and still getting my body (my Achilles tendons, specifically) back used to marching in summer shoes. We have OH reps on site though, as we ramp up for another summer of state violence.
So it's a Saturday of gardening and recovery for me.
Also, maybe a little prepping for hijinks.

60,000 Americans to lose their rental assistance and risk eviction unless Congress acts
By JESSE BEDAYN, April 21, 2025
"Moments after Daniris Espinal walked into her new apartment in Brooklyn, she prayed. In ensuing nights, she would awaken and touch the walls for reassurance — finding in them a relief that turned to tears over her morning coffee.
"Those walls were possible through a federal program that pays rent for some 60,000 families and individuals fleeing #homelessness or #DomesticViolence. Espinal was fleeing both.
"But the program, #EmergencyHousingVouchers, is running out of money — and quickly.
"Funding is expected to be used up by the end of next year, according to a letter from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and obtained by The Associated Press. That would leave tens of thousands across the country scrambling to pay their rent.
"It would be among the largest one-time losses of #RentalAssistance in the U.S., analysts say, and the ensuing evictions could churn these people — after several years of rebuilding their lives — back onto the street or back into abusive relationships."

The fact they're doing this METRES AWAY FROM THE LITERAL HOMELESS MEMORIAL is disgusting as shit.
In about 15 mins I have to dip briefly for a protest (there are 2 other LOs here rn), but the residents have approved the callout for more bodies on the ground for the pending clearing that the motherfuckers absolutely confirmed is happening.
Unfriendly reminder that at St Stephen's, the motherfuckers waited us out and didn't do THAT clearing until night.
Apparently, the City needs the park empty to "repair the grass and fix the paving stones".
Fuck everything.

And back in the city in time for... an encampment clearing.
Imagine making $107,000/year ripping down people's meagre shelters and stealing their few belongings. That's the lowest salary among these assholes.
Also, Kyle (in the blue, running away) would like it known that he is "uncomfortable" with people filming him as he lies to encampment residents about the likelihood of being housed, and threatening them.
And yeah, they have the public order unit chilling on standby.

Stay tuned for a tale of disenfranchisement.
As I just reminded the group:
The system isn't "broken". It was built this way.We need to remember that when we "fail" to jump through "enough" of the needless hoops to accomplish what we are NOT MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH.
in fact, we are MEANT TO NOT ACCOMPLISH thise tasks.
It is arcane, cruel, and INTENTIONAL.You didn't fail to achieve that thing.
They absolutely did not intend for you to achieve it. -
Doing encampment support really drives home just how much those who have the least share the most.
Probably shouldn't be eating cake pops for breakfast, but what the hell.

Couldn't have asked for a lovelier day to do some winterizing at an encampment.
Today's project:
Fire deflector.The heat from fire pits is mostly lost because it goes straight up. A simple combination of threaded rods, nuts, and a pizza pan can make a world of difference to those relying on it to LITERALLY STAY ALIVE.
FUCK I HATE CAPITALISM.
This cost me about $22 and 15 minutes with a friend, not $299.
-
This time of year is really difficult to be unhoused, not that it's ever easy.
This is ALL THE RESULT OF POLICY CHOICES.
Anyway, I am blessed enough to have a warm bed to go to, and I am going to try not to go to it while raging at the sheer obstinate, disgusting, selfishness that is capitalism.
*Tip: Reflectix or the generic equivalent (the kind I have to drop off is "Resisto") is very helpful in reducing conductive heat loss when sleeping on the ground.
If you find some on sale, grab a roll and help a human being out.

Some days really just take it out of you.
Been trying to get a replacement tent for someone who lost it all in a fire, only to find out that the person has second snd third degree burns and won't be there tonight as a result.
I really wish the right people (in this context) would spend 5 fucking minutes pondering the shitshow that is society and how precarious it is for MOST OF US.
Honestly.
So much of this could be fixed if only people weren't walking around with blinders on 24/7.I wish I knew how to get people to give up their core need to only "allow" things to be "fixed" as long as nothing actually changes.

Urgh.
I promised fun video of tonight's cop nonsense, but something infinitely more pressing came up.
The last tiny house in Toronto has been stolen by City workers.
That's right.
The first deep cold snap of the year and the City's out there stealing people's shelters.More to come.

This is 💯 an example of why building more homes is not the answer, if you just let speculators and billionaires buy them up, and let them sit empty.
We do not need to let developers at the greenbelt. We don't even need more condos in downtown Toronto.
We need to stop people from fucking hoarding housing.

Losing the roof over your head could reduce your lifespan by 17 years.That’s the takeaway from a new study published Friday, which warns that the gap between life expectancies for housed versus homeless Torontonians has only been growing, and is especially pronounced for younger generations.
It’s a gap that persists even after accounting for the outsized toll of substance use and other mental health-related challenges within the city’s homeless population, said researcher Lucie Richard with Unity Health’s MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions.
❞Meanwhile, City workers like Belinda Batista, whose job is displacing the unhoused with no actual solutions, live well on the sunshine list for facilitating death. Not an exaggeration.
