Anyways maybe I've said this before but the more accurate and useful version of what "do you have any hobbies outside of media consumption" is ostensibly supposed to be communicating is something like "do you have any hobbies that are active (physically, mentally, emotionally) and/or generative in some way? Are you actually engaged with the things you do in your free/leisure time or do you let them just passively happen to you?", but unfortunately none of that is as pithy or smug as "do you have any hobbies outside of media consumption" nor does it allow you to bully people for having harmless interests you happen to think are lame but with a thin layer of plausible deniability that prevents people from telling you what an asshole you're being. Also it's really long. So you know it'll probably never take off in the same way the other thing has.

I love Ronan’s arc in the first two books because at the start you think Ronan attempted suicide but then you find out that’s actually a cover story for the fact that he was attacked by a dream creature. And then you find out said creature is called Manifestationofmy Suicidalthoughts.

Collins is gone.

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.

*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.

If you can't offer financial support, please consider donating items of need. Moontime Connections is currently accepting drop-off donations. If you live in the Thunder Bay area, Namaygoosisagagun Health Office is also taking in donations! They can also bemailed to Superior Inn Hotel & Conference Centre at 555 West Arthur Street, Thunder Bay, ON, P7E 5P8.

the central tension of Achilles is that he's both a man AND a god at the same time and the Iliad is of course about his Wrath. the Greeks insulted him so he punished them in the manner of a god, ie brutally, disproportionately, violently. Zeus agreed to make it happen for him but there was a cost and the cost was Patroclus.

if we conceive of Patroclus as the human side of Achilles then Zeus said OK, if you want to get angry like a god, you can get angry like a god. but u gotta give up your humanity. i'm gonna kill the human in you and you can't ever get him back.
