Stop normalizing the grind and start normalizing whatever this is
People on Tiktok need to learn that they can't just post other's artwork without even trying to credit them. Like "they didn't think about it." It's even better when one of the pictures has a big "DO NOT REPOST" mark on it 🤦♀️
Happy pride month to the tiny cowboy and tiny Trojan man from Night at the Museum

- why? because why not x’D
It's kind of a weird feeling to witness your childhood small town grow bigger and more commercial. Like I remember a lot of spots being fields with cows and horses, but now they're replaced by neighborhoods, Super Krogers, and endless views of concrete.
Of course stuff like this is inevitable, but it sorta hurts to see it become another place in the U.S. that are identical to eachother.
It's funny that the most homey parts of my town are the ones with gas stations with tin walls, low-roofted small wooden houses, and square concrete buildings with some sort of decorative painting on the outside. Even the large plots of land that have heavily spaced fast food restaurants and a colorless landfill right across the street of them are somewhat comforting.
Anyways this is just me venting a bit, so enjoy the rest of your day/evening 💃🕺💃🕺
Happy Asian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!
Not a single person in the tales of Arcadia was straight. You can’t change my mind.
For anyone who doesn't know what's going on in Canada right now (which, let's be real, is probably everyone who's not in Canada):
This week, a mass grave was discovered at a former Indian Residential School, in Kamloops, BC. The grave contained the bodies of 215 Indigenous children.
For people outside of North America, residential schools were places that Indigenous children were sent to, to have their language and culture stripped away from them. They were literally stolen from their families, and scattered across Canada, to ensure that they would be surrounded by children who didn't speak their language. They were given Christian names and forced to speak English. They were horrendously abused, and the survivors have been traumatized.
Hundreds of children never returned. The assumption has always been that they died. This has now been confirmed.
The school in Kamloops closed in 1978. They are now trying to identify bodies to inform family members. The last residential school closed in the 1990s. There is growing demand to search all of them, but the government hasn't responded to that, as of yet. Ottawa JUST gave in to pressure to fly the Canada flag at half mast. They weren't even going to do that.
This is the reality if anti-Indigenous racism in Canada. The residential schools may be closed, but that hasn't stopped the abduction of Indigenous children, let alone the hundreds of missing and murdered Indigenous women.
Moved blogs, but you won't know where until you find it yourself 🙂↕️
