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.
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. :)
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
When everyone wants you to be nice to the TSA who were established as part of George W’s bullshit security theater and are used to racially profile passengers while doing butt-fucking-ton nothing for safety.
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
