Queering the Back-to-School Ritual | Our Landing Place - Queer-Centred Therapy Dr. Kimberly Williams discusses strategies for bringing your whole self to campus and creating sustaining rituals to get you through the whole school year.

I've been meditating deeply in these past few weeks on why my body always greets this time of year with a combination of excitement and dread. Here's what I came up with. And thanks to Our Landing Place Group Therapy Practice for the space to write it down. โœŠ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ”ฅ+โค๏ธ

Essay: ICE is Rioting No Justice, No Peace

@monaeltahawy.bsky.social nails it again: Why is the onus on protestors to be "peaceful" when the State brings violence? Why is "rioting" used to malign only the people fighting violence initiated by the State and its agents, and not those agents and that State? Why isn't ICE described as rioting?

As Canada is threatened, itโ€™s urgent to revisit Indigenous sovereignty and nationhood Indigenous nationhood has not just been a part of Indigenous ways of life for centuries, but is now closely tied to established and developing legal and constitutional principles in Canada.

Meanwhile, in Canada: on his first day in office, our new PM, Mark Carney, eliminated the Cabinet position for Women & Gender Equality (WAGE). What good, even, are these liberals when they act like conservatives? โ€œNot as bad as the other guyโ€ is just not good enough.๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿคฌ

Today's feminist killjoy PSA: โ€œNo politicsโ€ zones are always dripping with privilege. They are also complicit and, ironically, super-charged with politics.

After theyโ€™ve destroyed it all (and remember, it never worked for most of us anyway), what will we build in its place? Now is for despair and anger, to be sure, but also for dreams and action. What can you do today? Some ideas here: 5calls.org โœŠ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ”ฅ+โค๏ธ

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Donโ€™t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are ๐Ÿ“‰

'A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it.'
