TheGiftofGabThe 1st of April was a month since I became #homeless. I spent the last couple days deciding what I wanted to say.
First, I'd like to ask everyone to be kind to my fellow #unhoused. Please donate to your local #foodbank, as most are severely underfunded.
Second, if appropriate, please talk with my fellow #unhoused. When I'm handing out food for them I became aware of how many people just wanted someone to speak to.
Thirdly, if you can, go out and find the #streetart/#urbanart in your area. There are beautiful works of #art out there, #graffiti or otherwise.
Fourthly, to the women of the world on behalf of all AMABs, I'm so sorry. You should not have to do the amount you do, endure the attacks you do; and all the while being told men "have it tougher." Women haven't even been considered "persons" under the law in #Canada for 100 years yet. I continue to be awed and humbled by your grace under fire.
And lastly, to my #enby and #trans siblings out there, #youareloved🩷 I know people are being pretty awful to you all and the world is terrifying right now. Yet that is why we need each other.
And if someone comes up and misgenders, anti-queer epithets, or deadnames you, repeat after me:
"I'm the worm up in your brain
Call me by my fucking name
You're the ash, I'm the flame
Call me by my fucking name"
