have a long list on the door?
but this room was about residential school children who were murdered & tortured to death in north america
triggered means what? => recuse yourself not remove another
i get how wrong
as in, triggered to death by genocidal maniacs is no crime
unable to even see an avatar of some guy once idf is no crime
refusing to share space with that guy named guy is no crime
that was only a single minute
for a whole entire life added up
he wanted to stay
i made sure it was safe for him to do so
i kicked out the person who unilaterally kicked him out in the first place without even coming to me with a concern in the backchannel
violating the law & intention of my room
which was not a group project as in
=> make your own room remembering residential school kids
this was my room
i made it
im holding the silence for three days
didnt have to
did anyway
it matters to me
woulda been way easier for him
to just leave if there was dissent about his presence
allowed to join us to remember & give times toward grieving & recognizing cost is about where he lives, his family lives
not a religious thing
an american thing
he lives in the states
his wife is from canada
i will never forget he did that
so many people wanted him kicked out of the room
it was my room
whoever was there for those kids giving their time like that was allowed to stay
reminds me a little
of this guy named guy
bread maker who years ago
said he was post zionist
idk what that means or if that flies
i didnt know him well
my friend did
he did sit for hours in my 1 minute of silence for every dead child recovered so far clubhouse room for residential school children
what it is
i think
to have the good that inspires you
so deeply the alleged rules
are like
not yours
kept saying easier to get food during ramadan during the times there are no lines
mohawk culture so fundamental to not offend i was asking so many questions with so many boundaries & he kept laughing & laughing & saying do not worry
not really my expertise area
but really believe in separation of church & state
in clarity me as unconfirmed
i was not surprised with common ground re: west bank gardener
we shared being raised one way & not being into it cos so hijacked
as in,
