Tomorrow, January 16th, 2019 there will be a Wet’suwet’en solidarity rally in Niagara, Ontario when Justin Trudeau visits the area:

The PM will be in Niagara next week for a breakfast fundraiser - please join us to show your support for our relatives who are being terrorized by militarized police on unceded land.

This is the time for action friends - We were promised reconciliation, its time for Justin Trudeau to answer to the people if this is what it really means to him.  

Bring your drums and signs.
Tobacco burning at sunrise.

I apologize if you've answered this before already, but do you know why the Inuit are considered a separate category from most other First Nations/Aboriginal peoples? I understand why the Metis are because of their history, but I've always wondered about why the Inuit are as well.

This might help:

The Inuit are culturally distinct from the 6 First Nations groups. They are geographically separated from First Nations in the south. Sometimes above/below the tree line is a demarcation line.

Inuit did not and still do not have treaties with Canada (or the British).

They have settlement and land claims agreements. Embodied in these non-treaty agreements are the same non-insured health benefits and other benefits that First Nations Agreements have.

There is a different governance structure in Inuit communities. No chiefs. Mayors.

I’ve seen a lot of curious people wanting to dive into classical music but don’t know where to start, so I have written out a list of pieces to listen to depending on mood. I’ve only put out a few, but please add more if you want to. hope this helps y’all out. :)

stereotypical delightful classical music:

if you need to chill:

if you need to sleep:

if you need to wake up:

if you are feeling very proud:

if you feel really excited:

if you are angry and you want to take a baseball bat and start hitting a bush:

if you want to cry for a really long time:

if you want to feel like you’re on an adventure:

if you want chills:

if you want to study:

if you really want to dance:

if you want to start bouncing in your chair:

if you’re about to pass out and you need energy:

if you want to hear suspense within music:

if you want a jazzy/classical feel:

if you want to feel emotional with no explanation:

if you want to sit back and have a nice cup of tea:

pieces that don’t really have a valid explanation:

pieces that just sound really cool:

if you feel like listening to concertos all day (I do not recommend doing that):

and if you really just hate classical music in general:

a lot of these pieces apply in multiple categories, but I sorted them by which I think they match the most. have fun exploring classical music!

also, thank you to viola-ology, iwillsavemyworld, shayshay526, eternal-cadenza, tropicalmunchakoopas, shadowraven45662, and thelonecomposer for adding on! if you would like to add on your own suggestions, please reblog and add on or message me so I can give you credit for the suggestion!

i literally have 37 followers on here so i doubt anyone will see this but something FUCKED! UP! is happening right now in France and i want non-french people to hear about it:

Basically, a french rapper named Nick Conrad made a song a few months ago named « Pendez les blancs » or in english « Hang up white people ». And the lyrics and music video portray what the world would have been like had Black people enslaved white people. It’s nothing else than a reversal of history; of what white people really did to Black people back in the days.

But…. white french people being as annoying as ever, he got sued and now he’s in trial and facing charges for RACISM AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE (lmao).

He lost his job and will probably be found guilty cause french justice SUCKS.

If you have twitter you can share this thread written in english that sums up the situation:

The Ottawa Catholic School Board has quietly removed a popular book from its elementary school libraries after parents complained about its LGBT content.

Drama, a 2012 graphic novel by American author and illustrator Raina Telgemeier, is about a student who wants to be part of her middle-school theatre production.

It features a side story about two boys who are attracted to one another, and who share an onstage kiss.

The novel was a top pick by the editors at the New York Times and named a Stonewall Book Award “Honor Book” in 2013 for its portrayal of LGBT issues.

Children’s book distributor Scholastic Canada rates Drama as appropriate for readers 10 to 14 years old.

How about we vote in a law that puts a cap on how long a government shut down can happen… say 20 days… before the president has to agree to a budget solution or else the 21st day congress begins the process of impreachment because civilian jobs and salaries and livelihoods are not a bargaining tool for the president to abuse is order to get their way

If you aren’t serving the people then you aren’t doing the job of the presidency and you need to be replaced

My brother was diagnosed with depression years before I was, and because of that he started therapy years before I did.

I still remember when I was a young teen and he was playing a Nirvana song and he stopped it at this one line: “I miss the comfort of being sad”

He told me that when you start to get better, there’s a part of you that misses being sad and that if you start feeling that way you have to be extra extra aware and careful because if you indulge the feeling you’ll go down a self-destructive spiral

And even though that was years and years ago, I think about it all the time. Especially when I’m reading discourse on the idea of getting so attached to mental illness as an identity that you don’t want to improve things because you feel safe in it and don’t know who you are without it

I always think of that line “I miss the comfort of being sad” and my brother’s warning

Random Headcanon: Link’s androgyny isn’t just an artefact of the Zelda franchise’s art direction - and neither is it particularly unusual. Sexual dimorphism among Hylians is legitimately much lower than among real-world humans; if Link and Zelda swapped clothes, you’d never be able to tell who was the girl and who was the boy.

Consequently, Hylian society depends heavily on clothing to establish gender roles, to the extent that it’s a severe faux pas to question someone’s gender presentation. If they’re dressed like a girl, then they’re a girl - even if they were dressed like a boy yesterday. That’s why nobody ever remarks upon the fact that Zelda and her heroic alter-ego Sheik are different genders; it’d be gauche at best to bring it up.

Good post op

explains why i can be banned from gerudo town, change clothes in front of the guards, and then be welcomed with open arms

shit, this absolutely provides an explanation for it that isn’t just “lazy game mechanism” and is honestly such a solid demonstration of how people should approach genderfluidity. 

doesn’t matter if the first time you met the person they presented as male, if they present as female now that means they’re a woman and they’re welcome into gerudo town no questions asked

Also, Link and Zelda 100% do swap places often and you can’t tell me otherwise.

“Princess Zelda, Ganon has made his way into the kingdom! What should we do?!”

HYAH

Holy shit this is a good fucking post and additions thank you OP and company

This does a good job at showing how ridiculously free-for-all and confusing WWI was.

The historical accuracy here, as a History major, makes me weep tears of joy.

*Cries of laughter*

A history major this made me extremely amused. This is beautifully accurate. 

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW

Russia gets thrown through a plate glass window, gets knocked out, suffers brain damage, and wakes up with a complete personality change

I’m dying.

again, because it is so good
