Disabled Métis witch surviving on unceded Coast Salish Territory

Screenshot of Translink suggesting I take more stations on the Canada Line than needed, for at least an extra 10 minutes on the train, because their website is pretending the 99 B-Line is only running west to east today (but the Next Bus Text line says otherwise). This is such an unserious corporation!!!!!
A black cat is curled up sleeping on a white baby blanket with black hearts patterned across it.
Ember holds a copy of the book “A Life Less Punishing” by Matt Heath aloft in front of library shelves filled with other books.

Screenshot of a Craigslist housing ad claiming to be for a “micro suite” but is quite obviously a very small boat cabin.
A small lump is visible underneath an upside down picnic blanket that safeguards Ember’s bedding from rogue cat pukes. The cat in question is ensconced in the lump, amid three blanket layers.

Screenshot of a Facebook post by The Other 98% that shows a photo of Niki Minaj on stage high-fiving Erika Kirk and which reads: “Nicki Minaj’s sudden embrace of trump world is not happening in a vacuum. She is staring down a court order to sell her roughly $20 million Hidden Hills mansion to satisfy a judgment over an assault case involving her security team, while her husband Kenneth Petty sits under the shadow of a past attempted rape conviction and sex offender trouble in California. Think they are both just angling for a presidential pardon? Why else would she be gushing over “handsome” trump and flirting with MAGA culture. We’ve seen this time and time again. ​ Russell Brand suddenly found jesus and conveniently enough maga when scandal took over his life. Multiple women accused him of rape and sexual assault in reporting that led to criminal charges in the UK and voila, born again maga. Instead of real accountability, the audience is told they are watching a political witch hunt. That move is not accidental.​ On the American right, grievance is a business model and a shield. Celebrity men as well as women just like Nicki Minaj with ugly records keep recasting themselves as martyrs of cancel culture, while their victims are reduced to footnotes. When a star in legal or financial trouble suddenly discovers a conservative voice, it is less some brave ideological awakening and more a pivot into a lucrative protection racket.“
Humans whose heads are not visible stand behind a folding table topped with a checkered tablecloth, a green and red basket, numerous dice, an assortment of quarter-sized wooden beads and a variety of cups. A dog sulks mostly in the shadow beneath the table, with only his snout and one back paw peaking out into the light.
A Yorkie mix dog wrapped in a blanket on top of his dog bed, which is on top of the human bed. The photo is dark because the lights are out for nap time.
Ember holds a white with black speckles mug in her left hand that reads “basic witch” over the sink. A faint outline of tea illustrates the almost imperceptible crack from the lip of the mug through to its bottom.
Ember holds a golden hand soap dispenser with the alphabet and prime numbers on it as well as a skull with bat wings, two crossed bones, flames, skeletons and what looks to be a crypt with many doors. Leaves on pavement are visible but blurred in the background.
Picture of a bottle of Resolve “Pet Expert” CARPET CLEANER that Ember mistook for Resolve STAIN REMOVER. Probably because she doesn’t have any carpet to clean, and definitely because she was in a hurry and saw the red half of the bottle.
