Having hope is an inherently radical act, and I am immensely grateful that this community has once again gifted me the ability to hope. And to dream. And to live. A better world is indeed possible.
We are ending our occupation of Victoria today, not because our work is over, but because we have so much more to do. More actions, more sit-ins, more resistance. We are immensely grateful to those who supported us these 18 days. This win belongs to all of us.

When my dad died, many of my friends began distancing themselves bc they didn’t know what to do or say. Instead of offering condolences and retreating to the sidelines, ask the person what they need in that current moment. Do they need food, a hug, a shoulder to cry on? Ask them
I have a question but hopefully it’s a good topic. I know when people pass away, people often don’t know what to say or how to comfort you and it can make for uncomfortable convos. What’s something you wish someone would have said to you while dealing with a painful loss?
