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.

1/🧵
Today it is snowing, and I'm inside. In fact, as I dictate this, I'm sitting in a hot bath with epsom salts soothing my aches and pains.
The night before last I was sleeping (well, sitting actually, as I did/could not sleep) outside, my choice, as part of a protest about houselessness in the City of Toronto.
⛺️ ⛺️ ⛺️ ⛺️It's not the first time I have "slept rough" with unhoused people, but it has been because I have been requested to fulfill a role as a Legal Observer from the Movement Defence Committee, in case of interactions with police.
As a Black woman, when I have privilege in certain contexts, it is extremely apparent to me. And no, it's not ❝Black privilege❞ as certain #wypipo like to complain about when white privilege is commented on.
🫠 🫠 🫠 🫠 🫠
First of all, and it annoys me to have to cover this ground repeatedly, the PRIVILEGE in question is "privilege" vis-à-vis rights, not "privilege" as in wealth.
🫠 🫠 🫠 🫠 🫠1️⃣ The first privilege, and this will probably confuse those of you who insist upon hearing privilege as in *wealth*, is that I have dedicated camping gear (and it is camping gear, as opposed to what I'm relying upon to save my God damn life every night) designed for winter camping, AND I've had the luxury to learn how to use it properly in non-emergency situations.
Even then, not being able to use a wood stove or start a fire, made things deeply unpleasant. It reached -13°C at one point, and the cold coming up from the cement was brutal, even through the reflectix. I gave one roll of reflectix to someone who was sleeping directly on the ground.
It was windy, and even with my hammock sock over top of my entire setup, I could feel convection happening. The fact that I EVEN KNOW the difference between convective cooling (the wind pulling the warmed air away from your immediate space) versus conductive cooling (the cement sucking the heat from your body) and how to compensate for it, is part of that privilege.
Hmmm I'm going to make this into a thread instead of a one post novel.

They always do shit like this on Fridays.
The report was released a week ago¹ Friday, and discussion² of the report magically didn't take place until — *dun dun dun* — Friday.
This is certainly an improvement over Burnside's performance³, and yet she could have stepped up to the plate to voted DIFFERENTLY on a number of motions.
Here's hoping Alejandra Bravo puts her money where her mouth is as we head into this year's season of state violence against the unhoused.
