1/👩🏾‍🌾🧵
I have been spent the last couple of days doing end of season garden tasks. It's nice to be able to take advantage of working from home (I'm also on call for legal support) and some warm daytime temps.
Tasks included: final harvesting of beans, cutting back the tomato plants to the soil, preparing some soil amendments, collecting the garden accessories like tomato cages steaks clips &c. and harvesting amaranth seeds.
BEANS 🫘
I tend to separate my beans into dry beans and green beans—even when the beans in question are purple.
For the ones that I'm saving as seeds I drop a couple of pods into an organza bag with the label. The rest I just kind of throw in a big pile to be beaten and used all together. I'm too busy; I'm not going to worry about only having the white beans for baked beans or whatever. It's all going to be multicoloured bean stew or chili.
I don't think I mentioned that I tend to grow the beans in the potato bags once the potatoes are harvested. Once they are done growing, I just cut the plants back to the soil rather than pulling them out. This way, the roots can can help replenish some of the nitrogen over the winter as they break down. (I also have made the Ultimate Soil Amendment blend for heavy feeders like potatoes and tomatoes, but we'll get back to that later.)
Additionally, I am putting the pods (the dry outer husks) into the blender to break them down so that they can be put in the plant pots as well to help add nutrition back.
I leave the shelled beans in an organza bag for a few days to dry out fully, just in case.
Dang. I have some other advice to share about cleaning your plant labels and steaks and stuff so that they last longer, but I may not have time to do the second part of this thread immediately. Maybe later tonight after I finish a couple of indoor tasks.

So, my stalker made 18 posts about me*, directly and indirectly, this weekend, ALONE.
Apparently, this means that I get someone offering me legal help based on contingency.
I can't decide whether or not to take the meeting. I guess I could at least find out how much money he thinks this case is worth.
I on the other hand, I think there will be no payments forthcoming, based on the fact she had to be garnished to pay costs of a remarkably low number.

Very long post about Community Defence incoming later today.
Loving all the people who want to bring or send food to our injured comrade.
I'm heading out to accompany him [read: MAKE him] to get his injuries documented. I'm somewhat concerned about the knife injury, and that's definitely going to come up again.
Also, loving all the fash posting evidence of their own criminality like it's a prize.
Yesterday's Nazi rally was half streamers looking for content. I'm not kidding. It was about 50 people, half of them filming non-stop. (And of course one woman who was just there to buddyhustle cops.)
There's a reason why leftist streamers either stop on their own or get told to fuck off.
If your movement is mostly streamers desperate for footage, including leadership, you are fucked.

I've just made the best pizza sauce I've ever made. And it's a bit unconventional, I'll admit.
Yellow plum tomatoes. Roasted.
Roasted Hungarian pepper.
Roasted Shepherd pepper.
Garlic, onion, basil, oregano.
I don't measure shit unless I'm doing recipe development for somebody else.
Roasting the yellow tomatoes brings up a bit of acidity that they don't have when they are raw.
I often process (can) regular tomatoes with a sliver of shepherd pepper for richness, and the difference in complexity between the plain yellow pizza sauce and the one with the pepper is MARKED.
They're getting a tiny bit of sour salt before they go in the water bath, but I'm already looking forward to the first pizza with this sauce. I'm thinking something fatty, like prosciutto, something a tiny bit sweet to highlight that, and maybe a bit of goat cheese or something with a bit of tang.
I wish I had more yellow paste tomatoes to play with. I think I'm going to make some calamari to eat the little bit left.
Back to the tomato mines with me.

1/👩🏾‍🌾🧵
So yesterday, there was a vague threat of temperatures dropping to within frost range, so we decided it was a good time to pull as many of the bigger green tomatoes as possible.
So I clipped back as many of the tomato plants as made sense to grow hydroponically for the last leg. Then we filled one of the baskets in the afternoon, and THEN I went out to LO at a protest and dinner, which left us hunting for tomatoes in the dark when I got back.
Now that it's light again, it's wild just how many very large tomatoes we missed last night while hunting with a flashlight. 1 star. I do not recommend this technique.
I'm also very glad to see that it didn't quite get down to frost levels last night, and that the decision to leave the smaller tomatoes to see if they would have a few days to get bigger was a good call.
I wish I had the time today or tomorrow to cut back the empty vines for the compost and cluster my remaining tomato plants so that I can do a poly-tunnel type cover for them, I've got to finish a bunch of work today for a meeting at 5:00, and tomorrow is the Grassy Narrows River Run, so that's totally shot. I barely have time to put the pepper plants back out in the sun.
Oh yeah, shit, tomorrow picking up two full bushels of San Marzano tomatoes, so I'm going to have to process those Thursday overnight.
Sleep? Who needs sleep.

Wandering over to get a bubble tea after a long day.
Started with a bastard cat deciding I needed to be awake at 7:30. And ended with dealing with a lot of post rain tomatoes, which, in moderation is a good thing, but in yesterday's quantities not so much.
I've got cracking on some of the tomatoes, but was lucky enough to avoid it on the great majority, mostly because I tend to pull tomatoes off at the break point, when they start blushing rather than waiting for them to fully ripen on the vine.
The mushroom basket tomatoes are extremely prolific and the extra water weight was threatening to snap some of the branches right off.
I'm also questioning the wisdom of buying the GREEN organza bags. Sure, it probably does fool the birds and rodents into thinking those tomatoes aren't ripe. But I don't actually leave them on the vine until they're ripe anyway, except when I CAN'T TELL that they're ripe because they've got green organza bags covering them.
Anyway, ended up with three very close to fully ripe of the Alice's Dream tomatoes. Damn, they're gorgeous. Definitely growing them again next year, regardless of how they taste. Which was actually pretty good for the first one, but I haven't tasted these three yet so 🤷🏾‍♀️

Been a busy few days!
Just finished a meeting and I'm about to go into another training at 6, but at least this time it's online.
One of the best parts about being able to work from home is taking your breaks outside, checking how things are coming along, and getting a chance to do a little bit of harvesting of some goodies. Stuff is coming in pretty fast and furious at this point.
Having some issues with rodents.
Little fuckers are sampling all kinds of produce. I can't remember the last time I actually got one of the strawberries when I see them going right.
Also I think it's raccoons that are destroying the squash. (And now of course, I have another mental image of guess who with their face on the ground clawing at my pumpkins with the raccoons.)
Anyway, I just ordered more of the organza bags to protect what I can. Ordered basalt volcanic dust as well, but that's not supposed to arrive for a few weeks.
That's the thing about container gardening: the plants really deplete the nutrients in the soil quickly. This year at the end of the season I'm planning to put the volcanic dust in each of the pots to shore up the nutrient levels for next year.

I think this is the prettiest tomato I've ever seen (even though it's tiny for the variety).
Alice's Dream
The first one to ripen so far.
I'm about to cut a whole bunch of tomatoes open for photos, so I guess I should take some of that giant block of feta I bought out of the freezer and make a Greek salad.

Round two of inoculating huitlacoche (corn smut).
This time on Stained Glass corn.
I made myself some makeshift corn shoot bags, because I'm not sure that my last strategy of using old cups is actually keeping the pollen off of the tassels. I guess we'll find out if I actually get any Mexican truffles instead of just corn.
I mean, as far as a consolation prize corn is a pretty good one.

2026-08-19 00:45:27 UTC

Yesterday, my weird, resentful stalker posted a REQUEST FOR TIPS on MY WHEREABOUTS, because she suspected me of... aiding a homeless encampment.
At least she didn't offer a literal bounty, as she has in the past.
For the past couple of years she's been trying to pretend like my calling the two of them following me around the city, following people they think might be meeting up with me, lurking outside a places where they expect me to be, was somehow DARVO, and she was actually the victim of the stalking.
I feel like there needs to be a word for a person who consistently DARVOs the word DARVO. Because she's that.
The absolutely-normal, nothing-to-see-here request was accompanied by stills from an Instagram post that mentioned none of the names of the targets she's entranced by, and was posted by an account she'd have no reason to assume I would be featured on.
I can only imagine this means she has been endlessly scanning all kinds of people's videos for the Sa'd, sad hope that she might see me sometime.
As though I'm a celebrity she's obsessed with. (I mean, dressing up as me was a pretty good clue.) I've said before that she's like a 14 year old girl that feels compelled to say my name regularly, because it makes our relationship real or something.
But it's good to see her come right out in the open and admit to the stalking at last. I guess.

Cross your fingers with me!
Hoping to actually produce some Mexican truffles!
I inoculated Painted Mountain corn, and Tuscarora White corn.
The raccoons absolutely decimated the peaches and cream, and I don't seem to have any nubs yet on either the Stained Glass corn or the red Aztec corn.
Now I need to cover the ones I inoculated so that they don't end up also being pollinated. Pollination apparently kills the fungus or something. 😞

Making motherfucking pickles.
Dill AND sweet.
I bought a basket of cucumbers two days ago, and then yesterday I went to fucking Costco, and now I have no fucking room in my fridge* so I have to make these fucking pickles before the cucumbers go bad.
No, it was NOT well thought out.
Not going to water bathe them until tomorrow.

My White Tomesol tomato has a THREE flower megabloom. I should really just pick it off (the rest are perfectly fine), but I'm kinda curious about how it's going to turn out. I'm hoping I can keep it from totally cat-facing.
The megabloom from my Paul Robeson tomato plant seems to have only developed a seam, but it was only a double flower. There's also a new double blossom on another tomato (I have forgotten which variety).
(I didn't have time to go looking for the Tomato on Alice's dream plant that was mega-blossomed.)
I'm also dealing with the world's worst juvenile robin, who very clearly is trying to communicate with me about many things, often the old toothless cat (literally) lying in the yard, but also seems to want to taunt me about my inability to keep my black currants or raspberries from him.
Greedy motherfucker.

I don't think I realized just how many reports I would be involved in when we teased Orange Hats out of MDC.
A lot of people are very interested in the behaviour of police at protests.
And for lack of a better word, I guess we're the experts on that subject matter.
So many meetings.
So many reports.

I'm enjoying this t-shirt maybe a little TOO much.
Rather, it's the *eyes widen slightly, quickly look away* response from white people that I'm enjoying.
Can't wait for the cops to arrive.
If I had realized there was going to be a little thing on the sleeve, I would have gone with: "Try me."

I was wondering when the corn cobbing post was coming!
The hilarious thing is: if she was actually happy with her life as it is, it would be a total fucking win-win.
She is living the life that I absolutely would have designed for her as my own personal hell.
Except: she did it to herself, and I didn't have to do a fucking thing! 🤷🏾‍♀️😂
I wonder if she thinks about the trajectory she thought she was on and compares it to where her life actually is. I can see how that might be a total let down. The last emblem of her old life was removed last month when the big face in the window got taken down by the Chinatown Centre.
These five years have aged her dramatically. It's hard to look at her and remember that she's not even 40.
Meanwhile, as I close in on 60, it's interesting to think about what might be different for me. I would definitely have different friends. Or maybe fewer friends.
Or at the very least, some of the friendships would not be as deep as they are.
I'm definitely at the age where women become invisible, but that's not happening.
I was on the fash radar years before she appeared. I still remember the first time one of the more aggressive fash sent a message about "that n*gger bitch" to MDC, almost a decade ago.
So, I'm not sure that much has actually changed. Would we still be one org instead of three? I don't know.
I do know that this works a lot better, and maybe on some level we should thank her for sparking the evolution by making it necessary for me to step away. 🤷🏾‍♀️
Everything else is pretty much where it probably would have ended up anyway. Maybe slightly different in that certain friendships are deeper and that has facilitated some shifts. I don't know.
Anyway, happy rebirthday.
May you get everything you deserve.

A lesson on conditional whiteness.
❝
Tens of thousands of people, angry over perceived social injustices, spent hours rampaging through the streets. Their target? The Greek-owned restaurants and shops that had come to symbolise their grievances.
“That night, crowds of 20-25,000 people destroyed almost every Greek business in the city, crying out, ‘Tonight’s the night we hunt Greeks’,” says historian Thomas Gallant.
❞
{{ snip }}
❝
While more than 100 years have passed since the riots, both Gallant and Gionas said they remain more relevant than ever – particularly as Canada experiences a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment.
Public opinion on immigration has hardened in recent years amid socioeconomic challenges. such as a housing crisis and soaring prices.
Polling shows a majority of Canadians now believe there is “too much” immigration to the country, and anti-immigrant rhetoric has become commonplace, with politicians talking about “bogus” asylum seekers and blaming newcomers for social ills.❞

Loooordt.
Taking a break from writing another goddamned report to discover my hyper-fixated stalker is lying about me again. She knows full well that I am requested to be at protests by people anticipating police malfeasance.
Stating that I am responsible for the actions of HUNDREDS of Toronto organizers is not only disingenuous and misinformation, it is stochastic terrorism.
And yes, I do believe the word "stalking" is in order. 5 years of it.
As the pair of you function as a unit: since you post his footage on your account — for money — under your own name; since approaches to my contacts were done under your business name; you are going to wear it all when it goes on the public record.
I feel like It has escaped you that what I do as a legal observer is: document things. I'm very good at documenting things. Maybe a little too good since there's so much to sort through. Highlights include:
Following friends around in case they might be meeting up with me.
Intentionally going places you might find me, even though it's not actually a protest.
Throwing your actual profession in the toilet so that you can stalk people full time. Well that might be the giveaway, though.
For anyone else who may be reading this, and those numbers will be few because I've chosen to post it on a platform that is not search engine indexed, I do the work because I’ve seen what police do to Black, Indigenous, and racialized people at actions. Because liberation struggles are connected. Because someone needs to watch the watchers.
Not because I’m some shadowy puppet master trying to get at some random grandiose, self-absorbed woman I didn't meet until YEARS after I started legal observing.
Unlike her fixated self, I have a full, interesting, and varied life with many things I do for the sheer joy of it, and a few things I do because I need money.
I don't know (because I refuse to experience it), but I imagine I would be livid if someone intruded on my thoughts multiple times a day when I should be doing something else.
It's annoying enough when somebody sends me a screenshot and brings her to mind. I can't imagine it happening unbidden.
And hell! She actually presents a PHYSICAL threat to my person. Her spouse has assaulted me.
Her lies and obsession are aimed at getting me hurt.
I just say mean things now every now and again, and her brain is broken over it. Absolutely dysfunctionally broken. It obviously couldn't have started in a good place.
And what would I even do to "ruun" her life at this point? It's already pretty much hell, from my viewpoint.
Imagine spending all your time with that crew. 😬 I'd have to self-medicate and keep myself numb, too, if I was expecting to maintain that level of interaction.
It ain't my fault that she is anhedonic and can't experience joy.
Anyway, feel free to enjoy the mean things I said about her hubby and crew on reddit, where it is actually search engine indexable.
The Wienie Wolfpack!

Cops get huffy when you ask them if they're gonna give you a carding receipt when they talk to you unsolicitedly.
Wait until I start asking them if they want some of my hair for their trophy collection. 😇
https://montrealgazette.com/news/montreal-police-face-major-racism-probe-after-officers-allegedly-kept-hair-as-trophies/
❝
The officers under scrutiny are said to be predominantly young male constables with three to four years of experience.
Investigators are examining claims that Black people and individuals of Arab origin were disproportionately targeted in the district’s diverse neighbourhoods. Some officers are alleged to have made racist remarks, according to witness testimony gathered during the probe.
Members of the team also allegedly collected pieces of locs (also called dreadlocks) — cut from apprehended men — and kept the hair as trophies, according to reports by La Presse and Radio-Canada.
Dagher declined to confirm or deny the latter allegation Friday night, but added that the hair cutting is part of the investigation and therefore could not be commented on at this time.
“The SPVM reiterates that racism, discrimination or any other unacceptable behaviour is not tolerated within the organization,” Dagher said.

Network linked to GFL attacks: sources
According to a source close to the investigation into the gun-for-hire network, Bennett is also believed to be connected to a string of recent attacks on GFL, the waste-management firm that controls much of Toronto’s garbage and recycling collection. The company has been at the centre of a violent and confusing saga for more than two years, with a handful of shootings targeting the homes of top executives, as well as offices and other facilities. Most recently, GFL was targeted in roughly a half a dozen attacks over the course of a few weeks in March.
The source, whom the Star agreed not to name because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the case, said police believe the gun-for-hire network was responsible for the GFL attacks, assigning a team of teenagers to carry out shootings.
{{ snip }}
The probe’s dragnet has spanned a number of cases related to ongoing violence in the GTA’s long-fraught towing industry, said a government official with knowledge of a wider investigation into GTA guns-for-hire, whom the Star agreed not to name because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
Over recent years, the GTA saw a significant spike in violence related to the towing industry, including shootings, extortions, arson and at least two homicides. In 2024, Toronto police linked 63 firearm discharges to the sector, accounting for almost 13 per cent of shootings in the city that year. Police tell the Star that figure dropped slightly in 2025, to just under seven per cent.

I'm toying with ways to make growing produce take up the least amount of space and be affordable for people.
Places often give away pallets.
And I actually suspect that if you get the right ones with the planks a good distance apart, you could probably figure out a way to use the wood itself as a structure and maybe use yogurt and cottage cheese tubs to hold the soil. I mean, you wouldn't want to have the wood leaching chemicals into your soil and thus into your plants, but it could hold food safe pots.
Or maybe remove the second and fourth plank from a pallet like this, and convert it to a shelf to hold the pots.
Also, if there was a way to get this up off the ground a bit, you could use the space in front of it for a row of large pots with determinate tomatoes, bush beans, and other relatively low growing food plants.
Hmm.
(This year I'm growing six varieties of micro dwarf tomatoes: Rosy Finch, House, Orange Hat, Fat Frog, Blaue Zimmertomate, and Dark Stripe. I couldn't get my hands on Cocoa here in Canada, which makes me very sad.)

Man that sun is really beating down. Inside taking a break, so I may as well post about my new sunchokes.
All it takes is a food safe container (I believe those are recycling numbers one, four, and five, but you should definitely check that out yourself), a drill bit or a large nail, and a lighter or, in my case, a creme brulee torch.
Keep the drill bit or nail and make holes in the bottom for drainage. But not too many holes or it won't hold any liquids. The number of holes is inversely proportionate to the size of the holes.
I like to bury the tubers fairly far down so that squirrels and other bastards will not dig them up. And then I cover the entire pot with a layer of mulch. That both helps keeps the moisture in, and prevents splash back from spreading any disease in the soil onto the plant.
I also have a Rubbermaid bin that I converted and put a Egyptian walking onion in with them. I put the Red Fuseau sunchokes in that bin.
The extra tubers are going into a friend's yard. And no, this year it's not a surprise. Though maybe some of the pumpkins will be.
(Apparently I'm going to have to fix the alt tags afterwards because the photos are being weird. )

Mulroney, who is currently filling in as interim host of Global News' flagship political affairs show The West Block despite flatly stating that he is "not a
journalist¹," shared one video Saturday with his 84,000 followers on the social media platform X.
{{ snip }}
"This is one of the most AMAZING videos I have ever seen," the post Mulroney shared said. "It doesn't even look real."
One reason the video might not "look real" is because it is actually from a 2013 military-simulation video game called
Arma 3.

Another war
I can't wait to hear what this one's for
I can't wait to find out what we'll win
Bring evil to an end
Settle up the score
Another war
I can't wait to send our young and poor
With promises of lower-interest loans
On manufactured homes
Ain't that worth killing for
All the little people of the world
Can't you hear 'em screamin out to see
The promise of that sweet democracy
Rainin' down like bullets and debris
Another war
Hear that progress knockin at your door
Terrorists and savages beware
We'll bomb you til you're free
Starve you til you're fair
Another war
But after this there won't be anymore
Finally the whole world will be free
Free to shop at any company store
All the little people of the world
Can't you hear 'em screamin out to see
The promise of that sweet democracy
Rainin down like bullets and debris
Finally the whole world will be free
Just like you and me

City staff does this all the time.
When they take down an encampment during the rain, everything just goes into a giant pile, which they're supposed to be storing for people, and when they hand it back, everything is mouldy as fuck.
I need to do a piece on this.

I've spent the day sitting with this:
A human being froze to death by the 519 last night.
Abandoned by everyone.
Alone.
In a city that steals everything from those who have nothing.
And I think of those who are on the Sunshine List for taking what little they have. Who "store" things wet and return them mouldy. The Kyles, the Belindas, the Amy/Emilys, the Cherishes, and that motherfucker John Francisco.
There are so many things that are so fucked up in this world and it's overwhelming and exhausting and disheartening. But to make your living making things just a tiny bit worse for somebody is disgusting.
May they all burn in hell.

Warning:
Excessively long post about abusive behaviours. Specifically: How and why abusers try to force their victims into compliance.
🔸️🔸️🔸️
Abusers employ tactics like minimization and blame-shifting, where they warn the victim to adjust their behaviour to avoid escalation ("You made me do this" or "If you acted right, this wouldn't happen").
The abuser flips the script to make the victim seem/feel responsible, deflecting guilt.
🔸️Veiled Threats and Control:Their phrasing often implies a warning—behave as I say or face punishment.
🔸️Victim-Blaming: By placing the onus on victims to "act" in ways the abuser prescribes, it shifts responsibility away from the perpetrator and onto the subjects.
🔸️Gaslighting: Abusers also gaslight victims by suggesting their reactions or actions provoked the abuse ("You're overreacting" or "No one will believe you").
In broader terms, it's akin to narratives in oppressive systems where marginalized groups are told to "behave" to avoid repercussions, rather than challenging the systems themselves.
🔸️Doubling Down on Objections: Abusers tend to escalate when confronted — refusing accountability and intensifying harm.
This reflects a mindset of dominance, where opposition is met with retaliation rather than reflection. ⬅️
"You made me do it/look what you made me do."
(Shifts fault for their behavior.)
"It's your fault I [drink/cheat/lose control]."
(Links their issues to the victim's actions.)
🔸️Minimizing Trauma:
Similar to victim-blaming, but slightly different, abusers often gaslight around the victim's distress ("don't cry") to reframe abuse as consensual or minor.
🔸️🔸️🔸️
This prioritizes control over empathy, much like sexual violence dynamics where the abuser demands a performance to ease their conscience.
🔸️🔸️🔸️
Abusers can be blatant and public about their behaviour for several interconnected psychological and strategic reasons.
While many abusers carefully hide their actions in private to maintain a facade (e.g., charming in public, cruel at home), ➡️ others operate openly or semi-openly—making threats, minimizing harm, or displaying control in ways that are visible to others. ⬅️
This isn't accidental; it's often deliberate and serves their goals.
🔸️When an abuser acts blatantly, it's a direct display of dominance: "I can do this openly, and nothing will stop me."
Public threats or veiled warnings send a clear message to the target: "Behave, or face consequences everyone can see." This amplifies intimidation because the victim knows others might witness it, yet the abuser often bets that bystanders won't intervene or will side with them.
🔸️In some cases, the public element normalizes the behavior or desensitizes observers over time, making escalation easier without immediate backlash.
🔸️Abusers who are blatant often feel untouchable. This can stem from: Social privilege (e.g., status, profession, gender dynamics, or community support) that shields them from accountability.
Past experiences where they've gotten away with similar actions without repercussions leads to bolder behaviour.
🔸️Institutional or cultural backing (e.g. online echo chambers, or environments where certain targets are dehumanized).
If the abuser has successfully discredited victims before or reframed criticism as "overreaction," they grow bolder. Blatant behaviour becomes a test of how far they can push without real pushback.
🔸️Many abusers exhibit narcissistic tendencies, where they crave attention, admiration, or validation. Public displays can serve as:
• Bragging or signaling superiority ("Look how I control the narrative/situation").
• Triangulation (pitting people against each other by making the abuse visible in a way that isolates the target further).
• Maintaining a heroic or authoritative image while subtly (or not-so-subtly) punishing those who challenge them.
➡️ In extreme cases, the abuser derives satisfaction from the fear or discomfort their actions provoke in others, viewing it as proof of their power. ⬅️
🔸️Going public first allows the abuser to shape the story before the victim can speak up. By posting warnings, framing their actions as "advice" or "concern," or doxxing under the guise of accountability, they position themselves as the reasonable party. This preempts accusations of wrongdoing and makes any pushback from the target look like retaliation or instability.
It's a form of reactive abuse setup in reverse: they provoke or threaten openly, then point to any response as justification for further harm.
Repeated public or semi-public acts can gradually normalize abusive tactics within a group or online community. What starts as a "joke" or "warning" escalates because fewer people call it out.
🔸️🔸️🔸️Over time, the abuser gains a reputation for being "tough" or "principled," while victims are painted as overly sensitive or deserving of scrutiny.🔸️🔸️🔸️
Then again, some abusers simply don't care about consequences because their empathy deficit makes others' suffering irrelevant. If the behavior aligns with their worldview (e.g., viewing certain groups as threats or inferior), they see no reason to hide it—they may even view openness as moral righteousness.

When I first got this (first) screenshot yesterday, I actually thought it was saying that the CONTENT she was posting was paid for (by Israel), before realizing it meant that you were supposed to pay if you wanted to read it.
But it's wild that a woman who used to post about her father in a subreddit called Raised By Narcissists, suddenly rewrites her history with him, the way she rewrites everything else.
(Special shout out to Adam Lee Wasserman in the reddit post! Also I think it's hilarious that she sees narcissism in one of her sisters and not in the mirror.)
I don't know that she actually DOES know what she is and is not or ever did, claiming as she regularly does, to be unbiased.

Speaking at an unrelated news conference on Monday, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said his thoughts and prayers go out to the officer, and called them a “hero.”
“We pray for his family, and that’s the job that these police officers do,” Ford said. “They get in their uniforms, they kiss their spouses goodbye, and they go in to keep our community safer. He’s an absolute hero... you go to a knife call, and all of a sudden, you get shot. So, we always will be there to support our police in any way we can.”

Tonight's action saw multiple sets of cops slow down and roll past the protest with their windows open, scoping what was happening.
Somehow they kept deciding they didn't want to be in THAT photograph: Christmas eve, arresting some Anglican clergy, putting baby Jesus in the evidence bag.
The protest was over what the City of Toronto has done to the churchyard of St. Stephen-in-the-Fields. To prevent unhoused people from sleeping there, they have put massive cement blocks all over the yard, AND fenced it in.
Anyway, despite the City making many threatening noises all day, turns out the cops didn't want any part of it, especially when they say how much media was here.
We definitely had an overkill number of legal observers present given the police aversion to getting out of their vehicles.

I am, alas, by training a value theorist.
Value Theory is the branch of philosophy that is an umbrella covering Economics and Ethics.
Pretty much we are a tiny bit LESS popular than Moral Philosophers.
First:
Everything I say below this point does not apply to people living at subsistence levels. You're already out of the system, you just don't know it yet.
Or more likely: you do.
=======
I see a headline like this one and my brain goes off in five different directions. But I think the most important one is for us to start consciously appreciating how we participate in the system, because every purchase, every hour spent working, every item coveted for anything other than its utility or beauty, is propping up this society.
So the first question is, what can you do to reduce your participation by 10%?
And the second question is how fragile do you think the system is? How many people withdrawing 10% of their energy and attention will cause a dent?
Most people think the system is robust: It's something that you can't fix or alter. I maintain that it is a lot more fragile than people are allowed to consider.
And I say "allowed to consider" because the point is to keep people too distracted and too busy to mull any of this over.
We're supposedly in the age of disruption.
But the disruptions are entirely superficial.
The disruptions are designed to leave everything the same, except funnel the money into somebody else's pocket.
But what if we actually disrupted shit?
What if we took a step toward not requiring currency, AND not requiring a digital version instead.
But that's another conversation for another day.
For now let's leave it at 10% less participation in this immensely problematic system.

❝
A man — unknown at the time and lacking any visible press credentials — was filming attendees at close range. Only after the event was he identified as Adam Lee Wasserman, associated with Caryma Sa’d’s Rules media.

Adams then asked the man to do the same — to identify himself or name the outlet he represented. Instead, the man refused to answer and continued filming, stepping even closer to capture Will’s face. Later, when Caryma’s Rules posted footage on social media, this context was deliberately removed. Will’s identification and professionalism were cut from the clip to create the narrative that they were the victims of intimidation.

I am endlessly fascinated by jury nullification.
Particularly how in Canada, neither a judge nor the lawyers are allowed to let a jury know that it's an option.
What even is the point of it being an option if no one can tell the people to whom it applies that it is a thing?

When you are an utterly unrepentant racist, but also you're hoping people will give you money out of sympathy.

So deeply honoured to have been specifically asked to participate in today's Symposium for Land Defenders.
On a short, much-needed break after Mskwaasin and Dr. Suzanne Shoush just broke everyone's hearts speaking about their experiences with the Freedom Flotilla.
More later.

Just finished a training session with teens on dealing with cops.
It's really interesting hearing their questions especially in light of Bill 33 passing this week. The next step is training trainers so that the message can spread more effectively.
On another note, I think we've settled on 5 things EVERYBODY should know about cops in Canada.
1. Canadian cops can and will lie to you.
2. Police do not care about your rights.
3. Police will use the people around you to do an end run around your rights.
4. The process is the punishment.
5. There is no effective mechanism for holding police accountable.

You have probably already seen it, But if not, this is worth a watch.
It's the quiet part being screamed:
The problem isn't that Israel is committing genocide.
The problem is that the lesson people took away from Holocaust education, is that genocide is bad.

It is absolutely wild to me how much I get accused of doing by my delusory narcissist stalker, vs my actual to do list.
Between reworking so much of our internal processes and trainings, DOING the trainings, encampment support, health challenges (just being an aging Black woman in a racist country takes more time than you would think), and the normal day-to-day shit, I don't know how or where anybody who listens to her actually thinks I have the time to do half the shit she accuses me of.
Somehow, I'm also responsible for the social media accounts. Which might explain the giant gap between the last post and this one.

I'd really love to have the time to do a whole analysis of pain and compliance as pertains to TPS, especially since I've ALSO got the list of injuries inflicted by those motherfuckers so far this year, but: time is a limited resource.
I have a list of items I'd like to complete for my legacy. At some point I'm going to push that one back to the top of the list.
I guess it's time to do a plug for "buy me a coffee," the excess of which goes to encampment support.
As always, only support if you can afford it.

I'm going to follow up with the earlier post to actually recommend people watch this. It's amazing how Canada has somehow managed to cloak itself in "better than the United States," which, it maybe is, but that's a matter of degree.
Canada is not without massive, ongoing, racist issues.
I think this timeline glossed over some items, such as it really could have spelled out that the anti-Semitism which was BOTH at the individual level and at the national level. Including turning away a boat of Jewish refugees during World War II.
But it does do a good job of clarifying that there has never been a point in history where Canada has been without racism. Official racism, at that.

I guess TVO is trying to make up for the presence of Richard Bilkszto lover Steve Paikin with this series on the Rise of White Nationalism in Canada.
On the plus side, it outright states that this isn't something new, that it comes with the foundations of a white supremacist, settler Colonial country.
Which Canada absolutely is and always has been.

So many of my malignant narcissist stalker's pals are present, but strangely, no one seems to have asked her opinion.

It's strange to me that no one has figured out a system into which I can put x amount of dollars that gets distributed to the various news outlets that I visit monthly.
I.e. there are some sites that I will only ever visit once. I am absolutely not in need of a subscription for that site. Surely it would be in their interest to collect even $0.15, $0.25, $0.50, or some other amount from thousands of people when a story goes viral than to receive nothing.
I always feel a twinge of guilt when I get sent a link to really good journalism on a site I have no need of a subscription.

In reference to the single conviction¹ of the now 164 arrests of Palestinian Solidarity activists in the past 2 years, that conviction is being appealed.

Apparently my malignant narcissist stalker is somehow managing to confuse cause and effect again.
But apparently one of my new magic powers now is: making cops do stupid and shitty things on camera.
For the record, I don't just film and gather footage of cops looking bad. Here's an IOF war criminal undermining The Narrative of how he got injured.
All by himself.
From footage I pinched from Instagram.

In case you're keeping track:
There've been 159 arrests at Palestinian protests in Toronto in the past ~2 years.
As of now, there has been exactly 1 conviction.
Good use of tax dollars, motherfuckers.
