Kamloops Indian Residential School Killed About 3 Kids Per Year, For 76 Years.

I did the math on the Kamloops residential school controversy.

The school opened in 1890 as a work camp, and the Indian day school opened in 1893.

It ran until 1969 under the Catholic Church, and until '73 under the federal govt.

So if we divide 215 victims by the 76 years it was open, we get 2.8 kids per year. I think its safe to round that up to a solid 3.

Kamloops Indian Residential School killed about 3 kids per year, for 76 years.

This is Canada's history. Don't forget it.

New Posting Schedule

I’m thinking about moving my Weekly Reading Recs posts to Tuesday. I think that would be better for me than on Mondays because I’m finding it hard fitting being able to finish them then.

On the bright side, I’m gonna start posting a lot more and stuff besides my weekly reading recs. Below is my new schedule. (Hopefully I can keep up with it.)

FANART - Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday

WEEKLY READING RECS - Tuesdays

FRIDAY FIC RECS - Fridays (What a surprise considering the name)

Did Someone Say Bisexual Disaster Steve Harrington??? Sign Me Up 😩🙌🖤

Did someone say bisexual disaster Steve Harrington??? Sign me up 😩🙌🖤

Hi. I’m a nerd and I tend to hyperfixate on things each month and I read way too much but mostly I’m *very* much an amateur learning fanbinding 📚 I binged this in one evening so it deserves to be held in my hands 😌🙌 I also got distracted typesetting and read it 3 more times in less than a week so…😬

If you haven’t read Are You Flagging? By Soidade on AO3 yet, what are you waiting for?? (Assuming you like 🌶🔥🥺🥵)

—So this jacket is actually a place holder, as I’m waiting to get permission from artists still. I am super grateful to shirmirart on IG for letting me use their amazingly cute piece for the back! I saw their art and didn’t even need a synopsis anymore bc it perfectly captures the wholesome and idiots falling in love vibe of the fic in such a cute and recognizable way.

I do plan to change the front cover tho to better fit the more adult content. In the meantime, I made this front cover on Canva bc it reminds me of Heartstopper (also wholesome af vibes), buuut it’s a bit misleading. I’ll def use it in the future again tho! I have a couple inquiries out, so hopefully I’ll be back in the print shop soon with an update!

Art on back is from shirmirart

Fic is written by @ao3soidade

This is my third fic so it’s still a hot mess and binding smaller fics was actually much harder. I do plan in 6 months to come back with better skills and redo all my first 10 binds.

That being said, if I use your fic (soidade) or your art (shirmir) and if you want a copy for yourself, please feel free to DM me to request a copy at no charge as a gift from me as a thank you for freely putting beautiful things out into this community. I can make one now but pls be aware it will be very much imperfect, or you can message me whenever in the future if you want a (hopefully) better made version 😂

I read a LOT of fanfic and so I figured why not share the stories I enjoyed reading on a weekly bases. My goal is to (hopefully) post each Monday sharing the fics I enjoyed from multiple fandoms. These lists will not include every fic I read over the week but the ones I especially liked. (I might include fic I’m rereading but idk yet.)

So, I really got into The Untamed on Netflix a couple of months ago which lead me to watching the donghua before reading the book. After that, I discovered Heaven Official’s Blessing. In other words, I’ve gotten a little obsessed with these new worlds and fandoms and have been mainly reading fics from these two fandoms.

GRANDMASTER OF DEMONIC CULTIVATION (MO DAO ZU SHI)

🔹️ 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘾𝙍𝙐𝙀𝙇𝙏𝙔 𝙊𝙁 𝙁𝘼𝙏𝙀 [AO3] by 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣_𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 [AO3]

𝘗𝘈𝘐𝘙𝘐𝘕𝘎: Lan Zhan/Lan Wangji x Wei Ying/Wei Wuxian 𝘛𝘈𝘎𝘚: Complete | Teen | 1 Chapter | 15.7K Words | Soulmate AU

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: “Wei Ying,” he manages, a breathy croak, and peers past his eyelashes to watch those Grey eyes widen. They swirl with more emotions than he can name at the moment- emotions that he has not seen in those eyes for years, and his heart aches further as he watches the other swallow visibly, trembling hands reaching up to tentatively hold his own outstretched one, though they pass through each other like the other is made of mist.

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying breathes, and the shadows under his eyes darken as his face scrunches up, looking like he’s about to cry.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I adore all different types of soulmate au’s and have never read one like this before. The idea is honestly really tragic because you can love someone your whole life and then you only find out when they die that they were not your soulmate. I would definitely love to read more fics with this type of soulmate au.

🔹️ 𝙁𝙊𝙍𝙏𝙐𝙉𝘼𝙏𝙀 [AO3] by 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣_𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 [AO3]

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: Lan Zhan learns several things that day. He learns that his soulmate has been injured on the shoulder- that, judging by his description, they have probably been bitten by a canine of some sort. He learns that his soulmate may not be living as sheltered life as preferred, considering that fact. And he learns the name for the emotion that had sent his heart into overdrive.

Lan Zhan learns that day that he does not like Fear at all.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I actually read this fic after The Cruelty of Fate and didn’t realize for a while it was by the same author. One of the things I like the most is we get to see more of an inside to Lan Zhan’s emotions and feelings. This fic did make me fairly emotion though, especially when we get to the siege of the Burial Mounds.

HEAVEN OFFICIAL’S BLESSING (TIAN GUAN CI FU)

🔹️ 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙐𝙏𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙁𝙇𝙔 𝙇𝙊𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙎 [AO3] by 𝙢𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 [AO3] museawayfic [Twitter]

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: By seventeen, Xie Lian has accepted not having a fated partner, only to feel the connection form the day of the God-Pleasing Festival. While he can’t understand a word of what the person writes at first, following Xie Lian’s ascension, San Lang becomes his most trusted confidant. No matter how many times Xie Lian asks to meet, however, San Lang refuses.

Years later, when war finally brings them face to face, the circumstances are tragic.

Banished to the mortal realm and cut off from San Lang, Xie Lian struggles to support his parents, gradually slipping into despair. San Lang’s spirit returns to him, refusing to leave the mortal realm while Xie Lian is in it. But after only a brief happiness together, the faceless ghost who destroyed his kingdom returns, taking San Lang from him again, and Xie Lian has to trust that their connection is strong enough to bring him back.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I really enjoyed how the difference of Xie Lian and San Lang being soul mates makes to the overall story we already know. I especially love how we get to see San Lang comforting and supporting Xie Lian when he is going through a rough time.

🔹️ 𝙊𝙇𝘿 𝙁𝙍𝙄𝙀𝙉𝘿 [AO3] by 𝙝𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙮𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞 [Tumblr] [AO3] [Twitter]

𝘚𝘜𝘔𝘔𝘈𝘙𝘠: It had been a decade since Xie Lian passed on.

Feng Xin should’ve let the past stay in the past, but when he found out his old best friend’s house was going to be demolished after being on the market for so long with no buyers, he made a stupid decision. He actually bought the house. He knew it would come with baggage, but he didn’t realize the baggage would come in the form of ghosts.

𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘔𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘚: I had not ready any Feng Xin x Mu Qing fics until this one (even though I was mostly focused on hualian) and I actually kinda liked it. Anyways, this is an amazing modern au that did great job at keeping true to the characters. I also really enjoyed how we get to read about how Xie Lian is able to come to terms with everything that has happened to him and get his happy ending.
