I still remember you as a little girl who overwaters plants because she doesn't know when to stop giving.

Sensory issues are so funny. No I can't eat the spaghetti you bought a slightly thicker spaghetti than usual. And today isn't a spaghetti day! Oh nevermind today I don't care. I have so little texture related sensory issues I'm so glad. Nvm I can feel all of my seams and I'm wearing the good pants and also please get me scissors I haven't cut the tag out of my new shirt yet. Oh my sensory issues with sound are nonexistent. Nevermind this hurts so bad. Nevermind it doesn't hurt anymore.

“That’s the thing about depression: A human being can survive almost anything, as long as she sees the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that it’s impossible to ever see the end. The fog is like a cage without a key.”

”getting thicker skin” is great in theory but I think for some people “get better at handling your thin skin” is gonna be way more helpful advice. I have strong emotional reactions to criticism and they might never go away, but i can continue to try and handle each situation maturely and that’s the important part. Sometimes irrational feelings are chronic and living with them is better than trying to beat yourself up into not having them.

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria is a recognized symptom of many neurodivergencies, and honestly sometimes it's just helpful for me to recognize that's what's happening. Like logically that person does not think terribly of me; I just am projecting my feelings about myself onto them. It's like knowing that your smoke alarm is wildly sensitive and goes off if you try to toast a slice of bread; the noise is still there and still annoying but you at least know that there's not a scarier cause than just your wiring malfunctioning again.

[squeedge]

ok but roadrunners are so cool, I can seldom think of a bird more velociraptor-like

more people need to know they’re real because look at this, this is some real walking with dinosaurs shit

they have powerful legs allowing them to run up to 20mph and leap to impressive heights with ease

they are extremely swift and fearless, quick enough to take down a sizable rattlesnake and other large prey animals like lizards and mice

they have several unique adaptations to thermoregulate, such as the dark patch of feathers on their back which acts as a solar panel to absorb heat, or its crest that either releases or absorbs heat by exposing its skin

they have these long, stiff tailfeathers that they use as a counterbalance when running, very reminiscent of the rod-like tail of a dromaeosaur

and they are capable of bursts of flight/gliding with incredibly beautiful plumage

I’m genuinely shocked how many people think they’re made up, they are real and they are AWESOME

For those who don’t know, Canada implicated a mandatory vaccine mandate for international truckers, and although 90% of truckers across the country are already vaccinated, the 10% who refuse decided to start a “freedom convoy.” It’s quickly become an alt-right circus.

photos from Ottawa, though I’ve seen plenty confederate and “SS” flags in Vancouver over the weekend. Super cool bonus as a Jewish person to know I’m in proximity to these people

[sobadpink]

Okay so the people drumming with ceremonial drums and chanting in Ottowa seen here, are Pretendians:

Are these people:

We have a massive socio-political issue in Canada that not many people are even aware of (even inside the country) where thousands of white European heritage Canadians are claiming First Nations / Indigenous status. The largest one is the Qalipu, who claim to be part of the Mi’kmaq band of east coast canada, where in a matter of months, tens of thousands of non-indigenous Canadians filed to be represented by this entirely fake group. Because Canada is a wimp ass country with an idiot govt, they allow these people to get away with it- and that means Pretendians are getting govt grants, educational benefits, unregulated hunting / fishing, and other resources intended for the actual natives who need it. Worse, they sell land that is not theirs, and get money from private oil and forestry companies for “representing indigenous cooperation.”

Another thing these fakers get to do is show up to alt-right rallies and get into media opportunities that make it seem that actual indigenous people are supportive of these conservative protests (while literally chanting “tabby dabba doo” and ululating like a “s*vage”in bad 1940s western film). Pretendians are exceptionally racist and anti-indigenous white larpers who have found the greatest loophole in Canada’s system.

Adding on as someone who lives here - residents in and near downtown haven’t had a moment of peace since the truckers started arriving Friday.

There’s constant honking and yelling. People trying to get to work or buy food get harrassed for wearing masks. POC residents get racial slurs thrown at them too, as if the mask harrassment wasn’t enough. Local businesses? Many of them have had to close to protect their staff or severely restrict their hours. Rideau Centre, one of the largest malls in the city, has been closed since Saturday January 29th - which is surreal because this mall stays open on 90% of holidays. It almost never closes.

And there’s no sign of this coming to an end. There’s rumours more people will come in support of the convoy this weekend. So many residents can’t leave their homes or don’t feel safe to go out. Where’s the freedom in that?

Everyone likes to joke that Ottawa is nothing but a government town. But there’s real people living here too! There’s actual people living and working and playing here, it’s not just an empty city, void of everything except government officials. But we live here, this is our home, and it’s uninhabitable at the moment.

This trucker convoy is a white supremacist group. The only freedom they’re advocating for is their own, at the cost of everyone else. You can see that by the flags they wave and the way they treat the places they’re occupying.

I wish I could say there was something people could do to help, but. The best would probably be to spread as much as possible what’s going on. Maybe international pressure will get officials to do something, because public outcry here isn’t.

[hopeinadarkworld]

These racists are incredibly disgusting. Using Indigenous culture to pretend like they are not racisit and that they support everyone.

Yet before this dumb convoy some of the leaders were calling for our water keepers to be run over and killed by the police.

It's absolutely sickening.
