So sorry to everyone I owe replies to … the move was far harder on me than I anticipated. A number of items need to be completely thrown out which is a huge unexpected expense… and only about half my stuff actually got moved in the time we had.
Needless to say I’m having to accept that my baseline is shattered and it might be a bit longer than usual before I can be writing again.
Nothing good comes from pushing our bodies past what they can do, so I’m focusing on rest and finishing this move.
Honestly I wish there was secure and affordable housing for disabled people for life. Being forced to move when you can’t even get out of bed is one of the most stressful things you can be put through … and it Happens to way too many of us.
I fully plan to write an article on housing instability and discrimination against disabled people once I’m back to baseline !
In the meantime I need suggestions for cheap but safe online retailers where I can replace clothes. Due to a severe mold problem in old apartment almost everything has to be tossed. With my severe MCAS I can’t wear a lot of fabrics so if anyone knows of a unicorn store please let me know (my go to Canadian brand has become too expensive for me)

At a recent protest, a cop asked me why I "let" Rev. Canon Maggie Helwig stand on the front lines — like I control the protests (which led to me questioning why they get their intelligence from a woman with a clear allergy to the very concept).
But EVEN IF I DID (again: people really need to look up what "anarchist" means), there would be zero chance that I could make this amazing woman not stand up for people.
Congratulations, Maggie!

#ScribesAndMakers Apr 25: Our featured creator does "a bit of educational activism on the side." Do you do any activism through your creative work?
A: We maintain that #HousingIsAHumanRight. This is a book about houses, after all. The afterward makes the clear statement that several stories deal with: that greed and historical prejudices make housing a privilege for some.
We will also be donating 20% of our meagre profits to the local Habitat for Humanity.

The new collaboration between Tom Waits and Massive Attack drops today, so it’s playing on #SpinThisHouse. A statement on both the violent suppression of dissent and the epidemic of Veteran homelessness, this protest song and audio-visual cenotaph is a must hear/watch.

@rood Absolutely shameful.
$25k ex gratia doesn't fix homelessness when you've got stage four cancer and nowhere to go. These weren't holidaymakers—they were people who bought their homes in good faith.
The WA government sold crown land with a vacant possession clause. That's a political choice. Prioritising tourism profits over vulnerable lives. We need stronger tenure protections now. -
Move Over Spanberger... #SummerLee to Deliver Working Families Response to Trump State of the Union
“I’m going to say what too many politicians won’t: The system is rigged, the obscenely wealthy are profiting from it, and working people deserve more than scraps.”
https://www.commondreams.org/news/lee-state-of-the-unionfrom #CommonDreams
Stephen Prager
Feb 20, 2026As Democrats plan boycotts and counterprogramming to President Donald #Trump’s State of the Union address next week, #progressives are readying their own response to resist not just the historically unpopular commander-in-chief, but the centrist faction of their own party.
For years, the State of the Union has served as a platform for rising stars in the opposition party. The Democrats are rolling out the newly minted Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, a darling of the party establishment.

Last night's disruption at the Landlord Awards Ceremony (ridiculous fucking idea) at the MTCC, was masterful.
Landlords don't "create" housing.
They steal it.Imagine a bunch of parasites patting themselves on the backs for doing that.

The ‘Sewer #Socialism’ of #ZohranMamdani
By E. J. Dionne Jr.
Mr. Dionne is a contributing Opinion writer.
Oct. 16, 2025from #NewYorkTimes #NYT
[shareable gift article]Beyond the specifics, history teaches that #progressive mayors prosper when they understand why voters put them in office. Sheri Berman, a Barnard College political scientist and a widely respected scholar of #SocialDemocracy, offers a brisk two-part formula. “Successful left-wing mayors,” she told me, “focused on (a.) problems in their cities, and (b.) problems where they had the power to do something.”
For history buffs, Mr. #Mamdani has done the service of rekindling an interest in a largely forgotten American tradition, the “sewer socialists” who ran a significant list of cities in the last century. The most durable among them was Daniel Hoan, the #socialist mayor of Milwaukee from 1916 to 1940.

#ZohranMamdani and the Revenge of the Struggling Yuppie
When the city becomes a “luxury product,” even the comfortable start to rebel.
from #NewYorkTimes #NYT
[shareable 30-day gift article]By Eliza Shapiro
Nov. 7, 2025...But she also wonders how long her children can reasonably share a single bedroom, with curtains surrounding each of their beds. [...]
“It doesn’t feel like there’s any next step that we could reasonably achieve,” Ms. Schutzengel said.
It’s a feeling that is shared by a constituency of young-ish, middle-class-ish New Yorkers who are disillusioned by a city of shimmering wealth that they can’t quite seem to access. Rather than seeing a #NewYork of boundless possibility — or at least of apartments with in-unit washers and dryers — they see a mirage.
And now they have helped to make Zohran Mamdani the city’s next mayor.

Incandescent.
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.
Right now it's just support mode.#Toronto #PoliceDontKeepUsSafe #HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingForAll #HousingNow

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.

AND WHAT IF WE ALL JUST TOLD THE TRUTH?
That equity is easy; it’s just never been a priority.
That poverty is manufactured to keep the wealthy at the top.
That homelessness is a policy choice.
That the economy isn’t complex; it’s controlled and manipulated.
That you can’t afford a home, because the rich are hoarding them.
That hunger persists because capitalism doesn’t see feeding people as valuable.
That supermarkets exploit us, because food is a business, not a right.
That ecological collapse continues because stopping it threatens someone’s bottom line.
That billionaires exist because exploitation is legal and encouraged.
That we don’t live in democracies - we live under oligarchies dressed up as freedom.
That the system gaslights you, every time it blames you for the struggle it created.
That you can’t self-improve your way out of structural oppression.
AND THE BIGGEST LIE???
That nothing can change.
The truth...
Redistribute wealth.
Reclaim power.
Resource the people, not the elite.It isn’t complicated.
It’s just constantly blocked by the top.LET'S START TELLING THE TRUTH.

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.
There are always hijinks in the works.#HousingIsAHumanRight #HousingForAll #HousingNow #Toronto #TorontoActivists
