I'm really fucking angry & have been sitting with this for a few days.
the last Residential School was closed in the fucking 80s, but I've heard fellow native people say it's 1996.
I'm crying as I write this and my blood is boiling, nobody is fucking talking about these poor babies who were ripped from their families and MURDERED!!!
nobody outside of Canada fucking talks about this. I'm so sick of it. There's so much violence towards native people, and nobody gives a shit.
They're ripping through our land as I speak, and our Prime Minister is at the center of it!
his statement towards the discovery of these children is to call this a "shameful chapter of our country's history" BUT HEY, JUSTIN??? the chapter ain't fucking done, you sick monster!!
there are 40 year olds who are still alive, who were survivors of the residential schools!!!
I'm so disgusted. I'm so done. I'm so, so disappointed in this awful country.
mondelez international, nabisco's parent company, made billions in profit last year.
they're making their working conditions in the US worse to boost profits even further, and are closing US factories to move production to other countries where they can use relaxed labor laws to exploit those workers even more severely.
right now, nabisco employees in the US are specifically requesting supporters do not buy the company's products, especially products listed as being made in countries other than the US, to send the message that we won't tolerate worker mistreatment.
here are brands to boycott:

Throwback to all these Jesus comics I drew in 2012…
'Government dictating policy' is peak Republican 'small government'.
Stay out of people's personal lives. You have nothing to offer.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes and grow up.
can we like…get rid of the so-called leather and rubber “pride flags” ? it’s honestly ridiculous and offensive to the lgbtq community. those aren’t pride flags.
There is not one Republican politician or Republican policy or Republican talking point that actually helps children.
Not monetarily, not philosophically.
Just the opposite. Their goal is systemic suffering. The child. The mother. The family.
May your next period be light and end quickly

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset
the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
just wanted to remind everyone again not only of the 3,000+ resources offered through our Liberation Library but also of the study guides for beginners offered under each of our social justice topics!
resources can be organized by type (article, novel, podcast, video, etc.) as well as filtered and searched through. we’ve tried to make our system much more accessible than our former platform on google docs so this is such an exciting development to share with everyone.
please share to promote equitable access education!
