The voice of a particular Victoria neighbourhood. We're dissociating. From you. From ourselves. We’ll write a better bio later. Harm reduction, cycling, stopping genocide, clover point discourse, owning the NIMBYs, etc. etc.

A 2021 study in Ontario found that, of those people who were employed when they died of an overdose, 1/3 worked in the trades. And in BC, it's half.

Many people are being constantly displaced and having their stuff stolen by bylaw. They have no home to go to and insufficient public services, but some downtown Victoria business owners “feel” safer, so.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I hope Albertans will remember that trans kids and teens are living breathing humans who just want to be themselves, without fear of hate and discrimination. Demonizing kids merely to score political points in some weird culture war is craven and cruel.
