What are y’all doing to support First Nations/Métis/Inuit People now? We’ve worn orange and waved at a truckers convoy, so now it’s time for deeper commitments.
Decolonization is a wonderful thing but it’s deeper than who we buy our products from or acknowledging who’s land we’re really on.

The most impactful way that you can help First Nations/Métis/Inuit People is by contacting your government officials and start making demands (after you’ve learned them) on their behalf; email, call, write, etc.
But while you’re still unlearning, you can definitely shift the power dynamic by buying from and supporting Indigenous owned businesses and people.
Donating to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society is a great start…….

PART 1
stop fucking using the word psychotic to describe bad behaviour and violence already god fucking damn it
Sick sick sick of possibility of being fucking recorded every waking second by tiktok obsessed quasi celebs. Video titled something like "Caught him thinking he's the main character" but it was just a kid wearing headphones, looking out the bus window. Of course it was posted without his knowledge. Stop recording strangers and everything you see, nobody gives a shit and not everyone is happy to be on tiktok or youtube because of a moron with no braincells and an account. What could be a forgettable awkward moment is now permanently there for the victim of lackabrainis infested idiot to get anxious about forever.
oh god, absolutely constantly. it's always have you tried yoga, and i have to say "well, justvlike the first sixty times you asked, yes i have, and no, it didn't cure me. that's not how it works." im a lazy ingrate for having to take bed days, and im giving in to my weakness for using a cane. it's the most insulting, invalidating, hurtful bullshit ever. and when it comes from family it's so much more painful because they should be able to see how much you struggle to do the things they constantly recommend
is anyone else with chronic and mental illness constantly lectured by everyone in their life about what they need to be doing to "improve" their life?
I'm just so tired of it. Every doctor, every family member, even my in laws now I'm just constantly told what I need to do better and reminded how I'm not good enough/not doing enough
attempt at an reblog game that I think would be fun: tell me where you are from in the tags but only by how your place is displayed in hollywood movies
!!!!! huge moment right now for Indigenous sovereignty in Aotearoa !!!
my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go. my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face lights up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy. my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance. the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.
