Maybe, it is seemingly insignificant but this is the sweater I was quietly sad in, then one night a whole bevy of drunk boys all tried it on and declares that it looked good on everyone and this was my medical/art/sexual health kit when I lived in a tent in 2023.
It now has a red silk shirt in it for and for me. We did enough & maybe I saw too much. It’s ok to actually be mad, sad, glad and quietly proud. Advocacy sometimes just takes an incredible amount of stubborn effort.

A mural by me for for humanitarians & a quiet show of support for fellow nurse, Simon Mauchline, who is trying to hold CADUS accountable in court case currently in 🇩🇪. He was detained & tortured in Syria.

I’ve been doing dance again
Maybe I actually never really stopped.
It ebbs and flows much like my fear of the cops

Quite honestly, the last few weeks have been a mo*********ng lot!
Askingfor accommodations in
3 caring/ jobs
only to be told over and over again
Our or
You doesn’t mean much
Just quit if you can’t do it all.
So maybe it’s time to work for myself again.
And find crazy beautiful
Visibly and invisibly disabled
Rejected dolls, mercurial geniuses
Fellow synesthesians who care too much
So we can laugh then plot together.
The feels have been hitting.
It’s ok to feel a lot!

Just a fellow nurse here 🖼️ ⚖️In solidarity with Simon Maucheline & team fighting for CADUS to remember its . The emergency room nurse I painted didn’t survive her deployment and was target.
A lack of compassion & proper support is inexcusable after terrifying incidents like a kidnapping. Please exercise in the face of violations. We deserve a right to justice & care! 🩺. ⛈️. ☔️…….⚖️🇩🇪

Rest in Power to my friends who have overdosed and to my little graffiti 💜, I hope you finally learn that it’s ok to be impossibly sad this Aug 31. Fenty, it’s on the streets a plenty. Grief is real.
Devon Snow, my favourite neighbour & soccer buddy, Nick who died in a hotel shelter and was my friend in a different hotel shelter. So many others: friends, daughters, mothers, colleagues. To the nurses, doctors, harm reduction peers, crisis teams, paramedics, firefighters and police in Toronto, we see you (at Matartu Media). We appreciate you. We might not always agree with how you do your jobs, but today is a day to quietly (or loudly) be proud of yourselves. We are not going to comment on provincial decisions to close lifesaving facilities. Instead, we would like to remind people to learn how to use Narcan and to also take care of each other after. I have only had successful experiences, but we cannot play God. For me, art and music and smudging reminds me that people may be gone, but if we plant a flower in the garden for them, maybe they will see it from the spirit world. 🙏 to the 2SpiritedPeopleOfThe1stNations especially for showing up many times to share Indigenous ways for this Chinese human to connect & remember the dead. 🪶 🪭At times, I am heartbroken that my friends have died and I couldn’t help them. I am glad for the memories and I could feel Devon at FIFA reminding me to play soccer with little kids. Have fun! ⚽️ A stranger on the street is a human and their life is worth living. (I left in the horrible screeching noise, because it is jarring and it’s an epidemic). 🫂☂️☔️☯️🌂🪁🪑
