Come in from a run in the November morning, raise the blinds, let the sun soak the carpet and the dog curls in the warmth to rest. Decide on chocolate chip pancakes, and though it’s only just for you and though you can never get the consistency just right, it’s always the thought that counts. Hum, batter dripping from the whisk. You’ve been listening to jazz so much more, admiring the way the piano pours like molasses. Across the room, the heater kicks on. A handful of chocolate chips that never make it to the bowl. Your thick socks on the cool kitchen tile. A smile flirts with the corners of your mouth. This. This is how you learn to make the mornings yours.

“young adult dystopian novels are so unrealistic lmao like they always have some random teenage girl rising up to inspire the world to make change.”

I wish octopus could learn how to read. They could be pen pals with middle schoolers.

fun fact that many people do not know, princess tiana is real!

everything, everywhere, all at once

I made these in response to hate crimes in my community. They are full size and free to download and print if you’d like to use them, too.

For everyone still saying Canada is better than the USA I would like to remind them of

The genocide of indigenous peoples

The awful treatmeant of indigenous peoples that still goes on today

The fact we had slaves and segregated schools (look up when the last one closed in Canada it will make you sick)

Speaking of awful schools look up when the last residential school closed in Canada. I dare you

The Chinese head tax

The use of Asian people to build things at a cheaper cost also while using them to do the dangerous jobs so white peoples didn’t have to die

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Children

Police brutality that regularly involves black, native, and afro-indigenous peoples

The Mosque attack, aka targeted attack on Muslim and Islamic peoples that was considered a terroist attack

Starlight tours -cough still happen today cough-

Quebec trying to remove any religious symbol in pubic except for catholic ones

The mistreatment of Jagmeet Singh during the last election him being called “a terroist”, “towel head”, and told to “go back where he came from”

Also during the election the Peoples Party, and Bloc making very bold and disgusting statements about how BIPOC, and LGBTQA+ people were disgusting and damaging Canada

Speaking of the Bloc the white French man to is the leader decided to vote down teaching about systematic racism in Canada. When Jagmeet Singh called the Bloc leader what he is, a racist, Jagmeet was then thrown out and the Bloc leader demanded an apology. 🙃

The lack of health care, and basic needs in rez’s which caused a mass suicide in one Rez along with how gross that treatment is

More with police, racial profiling of BIPOC, want to see someone talk about it Tracy from “The Social” talked about her son getting stopped when he was with his white friends (he’s balck) in Toronto and the cop harassing him

These are 16 points I can think of off the top of my head. Canada is not less racist it’s just good at hiding it.
