This gorgeous immersive #publicart installation invites visitors to reflect on loss, memory, care in a shared community space. I visited the installation, spent time with the creators last year and left inspired/hopeful that a more grief-informed, grief-literate society is absolutely possible💛

Today we remember that Israel's colonization of Palestine has been ongoing for 125+ years. As Jenan Matari said: "Not 2 years. 77, and 125+". And we stand firm in our support of the Palestinian Peoples' right to resist.

Colonial imperialism is an ongoing process. This process has been unfolding in Palestine for DECADES.

Two years into a genocide. Or, let's be precise, 77 years into a genocide. Or, let's be specific, 80+ years into an exercise in ethnic cleansing & displacement. Or, let's be more honest, over a hundred years into a political project of ethnonationalism (Zionism) that has violated and brutalized Palestine, and utterly failed in its purported mission of keeping global Jewry safer.
You don't get to do to others what was done to your ancestors. Genocide is never self-protective, never defensible.

Whether named or ignored, grief is a hidden architect, shaping governance, culture, design, decision making, and the choices we think are rational. - Ziyan Hossain, Method Collective
Listen in - so much wisdom in this conversation.
“…grief is a hidden architect…” indeed! 🙌🏼💛

It is paramount that we understand the necessity of being grief-informed in every realm, especially at a systems level.

Food drives expose the deeper character of a city, showing whether its citizens see hunger as someone else’s problem or everyone’s shared responsibility. London has always made clear where it stands, and it's with compassion. Thank you, as ever London.

New friends ahead
Nervous? It’s okay (most kids are)
It often feels surreal that they’re gone. Hard to explain. Nor would I really ever want you to know how that feels.
I’m grateful that I can sense them with us every September when we spend these precious hours sharing love, encouragement and inspiration with the community. ❤️❤️🩹🥹

What a heartwarming legacy in the midst of the ongoing sorrow and absence.🥹
It’s always an emotional weekend for us, remembering our #EmilyCarrPS years. Colin and Brad are missed beyond measure, by many.

Remember…be kind to yourself and others
You’ve got this!!!
You are capable and wise
One woman whose children have since moved on to high school shared that her kids carry fond memories of these encouraging messages when they walked to school every September. We hadn’t considered how we’re creating warm, lasting childhood memories for other families over these years.

Spoke to SO many people—some new to the area who were curious, they’d not seen this before, many others who watch for this every year and were excited this time to catch us in the act (adults and kids alike)! So many who simply walked past extending thanks for doing this for the neighbourhood.

time doesn’t erase love, it just changes how it looks.
I can honor them in the way I choose to live now.
my story didn’t end when theirs did.

I’m allowed to carry this love with nowhere new to put it.
grief will always be part of me — but it’s not all of me.
I can say their name and smile through the tears.
my grief is valid, no matter how much time has passed.

my worth isn’t measured by how “over it” I seem.
grief can live in me and I can still laugh, still dream, still hope.
it’s not weakness to still cry years later.
I can let joy in without it meaning I’ve let them go.

I don’t have to pretend the ache has gone away.
I’m allowed to have days where getting out of bed is the victory
love this deep will always leave a mark, and that’s okay.
healing doesn’t mean I stop longing for them.
Enter this season slowly, with compassion for all you’ve been through.
Thinking of you.💛🥰

some little grief mantras to carry into September
I don’t need to “move on” to keep moving forward.
I can miss them forever and still build something worth living for.
grief is proof that they mattered—and I’m not ashamed of it.
Some gentle little grief mantras to carry into September.
I love the validation and permission they provide to let #grief move through you in the ways it’s meant to.
Take your time.
There is no need to rush your heart as it continues to learn how to hold these tender experiences.

Thanks, @sameervasta.bsky.social! I’ll read through it tomorrow when I have some time to consider it within the context of my work. Curious, given the notes I’ve received. Could the headline be any more sensationalist? Horrid. Hope the article is more balanced and considerate of the complexities.

Text from this graphic was quoted in the first slide
Let this be your wake-up call!
Act now. Get involved in your community!
Organize or join the care networks already organizing!
We cannot afford to wait.
Outraged? Good!
Now move from outrage to action.

Ontario is seeing a rise in authoritarian, fascistic policy (graphic goes on to highlight parallels to Ford government’s Notwithstanding Clause power grabs and Bill 6 which criminalizes our most vulnerable neighbours)
