  1. Toot:
    Iowa lawmakers want to regulate what kinds of food SNAP recipients can buy.

    I get $26/month in SNAP. I’m disabled. I lost my arm at 47.
    And I’m tired of being legislated into silence.

    So I wrote a response—equal parts truth, rage, and hope.
    🎤 “Stigma BINGO… and YAHTZEE!”
    My open letter + spoken word piece here:

  2. Most letter writers to our local newspaper, #TimesColonist are quite conservative & cruel in how they think about marginalized peoples. You rarely see compassion in TC letters published, that Mr. Chris Holiday has shown. I don't know the person but grateful locals like them exist.

    "Give more respect to those unhoused
    I have been appalled at the increasing level of stigmatization and hatred directed toward the unhoused population.

    I live on Pandora Avenue and frequently walk by individuals suffering most severely from our province’s housing crisis. I’ve witnessed individuals in crisis and using threatening language towards passersby but I have also witnessed verbal harassment of unhoused individuals coming from the balconies of luxury apartments.

    Public safety is a two-way street, everyone deserves the right to safety and dignity. A 2023 study by the Ministry of Housing reports that 67% of unhoused individuals have lived in their community for more than five years and 23% for their entire lives.

    These are our neighbours, and they deserve respect just as much as us who are housed.
