IM SCREECHING
“Well, you know, I was, um, going to the toilet.”
*pause*
“Then SOMEHOW the dead unarmed black guy, the conveniently-placed drugs and my inconsistent, plot-hole filled story happened in the middle of all this.”
Thank you USA GOVERNMENT
*Quanzhe voice* what godly looks!
+bonus:
I REALLY fucking hate the stereotype that Canadians are so nice and passive and apologetic about everything. The stereotype is more than just irksome to me; it’s damaging. It disregards the ugly realities of racism throughout the country, particularly towards Aboriginal people.
I have witnessed way too much racism in this country to find the “nice Canadian” stereotype cute. The number of missing and murdered Aboriginal women and girls in my city alone is horrifying. The abuse and flat-out hatred is grotesque.
Here in Canada, people are really good at not giving a shit about the well-being of another human being if that person happens to be Aboriginal. Here in Canada, people are so well-armed with their assumptions and stereotypes that they can’t even bother to see Aboriginal people as HUMAN.
So no. Canada is not a magical land where everyone loves each other and says sorry constantly. That stereotype is insulting to every Aboriginal woman who is assaulted, goes missing, and/or is murdered. It’s insulting to the families of those missing and murdered women who seek justice and answers that they will never receive, simply because non-Aboriginal Canadians don’t give a damn.

friendly reminder this shark week that - for every human killed by a shark 25 million sharks are killed by people - when we swim we’re in THEIR habitat - they don’t even like to eat us we’re too bony, when they do bite us they think we’re seals - sharks have been around since prehistoric times and now they’re endangered animals because of us -the media likes to portray sharks as deadly monsters bc they look scary but really we’re the ones killing them
REMINDER THAT QUEER PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS ARE A THING AMD ARE DIFFERENT THAN FRIENDSHIP
