Tkaronto, today

[sabotabby]

Thousands of people marched, drummed, and danced in the Cancel Canada Day march to demand justice for Indigenous children and survivors of Canada's genocidal residential schools.

It was powerful and beautiful and amazing. It was also, on a personal level, the closest I've felt in a long time to a worthwhile existence.

I'm heartened the march came together.

I'm glad you were able to feel the strength of it.

Rad. I was super pissed at the people who still decided to set off fireworks last night.

Fireworks to the north and south of my house last night. Annoying, since I'd thought that such things were being set aside for various reasons including fire hazard issues.

IKR?

I am glad you got to go to a protest and have friend-hugs. I hope life continues to get less overwhelming.

I doubt it will but I live in hope.
