@fberglund@twitter.com @maej43@twitter.com @wickdchiq@twitter.com You are lucky if you feel like you do not need to engage in activism. For many of us we cannot avoid aspects of our lives being politicized & we must actively fight for our human rights. I acknowledge that many people do not want to know about any of that and, lucky them I guess.

Justice is a word, an idea, a feeling, a state of being, and it's within us, without us, all around us and works through us to create many of the outcomes of life. The bloods of justice, coursing through each and every vein that informs our actions and our beliefs.

Figuring out which Mastodon server to join is akin to IRL for Black, Indigenous, People of Global Majority (BIPGM) women/femme:
Are they safe for us? Will I need to assimilate? Do I need to code-switch?
Will they care more about the dominant comfort & civility than the truth?

Day in the life for an immunocompromised cancer patient in British Columbia.

1) Wake up - yay i am still alive

2) Out of bed - realize you have broken another rib. Cant go to the ER , risk of death is to high. I suffer with pain and pound back a fist full of pain killers.

I would like to add an amendment. I said I didn't think anyone who wasn't LGBTQIA+ would understand, but I actually think that anyone who is part of a marginalised group that routinely experiences violence will understand. Those non-LGBTQIA+ people will understand.

Something that I don't think people who aren't LGBTQIA+ ever really understand is just how personal and devastating an attack like Club Q or Pulse is for LGBTQIA+ people. Every single LGBTQIA+ person I know is grieving right now.

If your feminism isn’t intersectional, it is useless.

If your advocacy is self-centered, it means nothing.

If you think WOC should blindly champion white women (many of whom are products or nepotism and/or wealth), then you are delusional.

Having experienced racism is *not* a shield for you to deflect from causing racist/sexist/xenophobic harm.

No one is off the hook for racism.

Being a victim of racism should make one even more aware as to doing everything in your power to NOT inflict racist harm on others.

A reminder that "solidarity" of a movement or group that doesn't centre the safety, needs or concerns of the ppl with non-dominant identities, is *not* solidarity, it's upholding the status quo.

You know it's not just trolls who have been racist & misogynistic despite being COVID-aware. Saying that minimizes the impact of these experiences for people like me.

Just want to thank the trolls for making the point for me about why this is an unpleasant site and it takes effort not to abandon it. Closing comments now.

That people are more upset by being blocked by an Asian woman having agency & opinions from a non-Western country than ALL the racist misogyny that has gone on in the COVID-aware Twitter community for almost 3 yrs tells you how society works, folks.

Thank you for this. It goes deeper than suspicions of being a spy (which I've also gotten over the past 2.5yrs) as it goes back to the age-old imperialist trope of East women only existing to serve white men. The overt racism/sexism/sinophobia against her really triggered me.

Real talk: it’s racist to randomly accuse a person of being a government agent based only on the fact that they’re Chinese and they blocked you on Twitter

She can block who she wants. Everyone gets to engage and not engage on here, as it suits them. She doesn’t owe us anything

Canada too. 👇🏽

RT @danaparish@twitter.com

I woke up to a number of disturbing messages from HCW friends. One MD lost a “healthy” pediatric patient (7 yrs old) to an unknown stomach virus.

Said the ER staff is “traumatized.”
