I'm pretty chill for the most part. Feel free to say hi :)

If you are a minor and I don't engage much with you, I'm just trying to keep a respectable distance from you for your safety. At the end of the day, I am a stranger on the internet. Please don't take it personally ♥

NDP leader Avi Lewis is calling for a national ban on the predatory practice known as surveillance pricing, where two different people can be charged different prices for the same item just based on demographics or online data collected by websites.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The Liberal Party of Canada, killed the NDP’s motion by refusing to support it.

i think abt this a lot

"If I were orpheus I wouldn't look back"

But we look back everyday- rechecking emails, making sure a friend is still behind you, checking to see if you remebered to pick up your keys. It's second nature, a habit of care.

It was second nature for him too. He looked back, not out of weakness, but love. For what is love, if not to look back?

[theriverbeyond]

tbh I can't stop thinking about how i went into Hadestown being like "this is a tragic love story based on a greek myth I enjoy :)" and I came out the other side covered in blood being like "this is a thesis about how capitalism inevitably leads to both personal and global ruin, and so we are duty bound to resist it even as we lose, again and again and again. no matter how impossible it feels or how many times we fail and hit a wall and fall, we try again"

[grimalditeuthis]

what they don't tell you about hadestown is that orpheus and eurydice are not the main characters. neither are persephone and hades. or hermes. or the fates. the main character is whoever in the band is playing the trombone because holy fuck

"what's the worst thing you can do as an artist" is not "shade with black" or "not use references" or whatever the worst thing you can do as an artist is hate yourself. and that includes the person you used to be

[androdragynous]

"look at how bad my old art is" "this was so cringe" "it's embarrassing to look at this" what are you gaining here? belatedly being your own bully? is it more acceptable to hate a kid if it's the kid you used to be? shut the fuck up. be kind to yourself or don't say anything at all. people are really not laughing with you when you mock yourself and if they are maybe consider hanging out with nicer people. imo.

[androdragynous]

this also goes for having your personal blog tags be like "nobody cares (name)" or "shut up (name)" or whatever. why are you being mean to yourself. its not preventing other people from being mean to you just because you get the first shot in it just means you get shot twice. how is that better. how is any of that better

[creekfiend]

people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.

I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

[lilaclupin]

In today's linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.

So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, "I have paws", which is something you say when you don't really want to do something, so you say you're incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, "hey, finish that report" "aw but I have paws :(" and I think that's adorable. It's like "I'm just a girl" but for animals.

We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my "she's such a capybara" = "everyone loves her". Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you're chill about it. You're just vibing and everyone digs that.

Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English

VERY important addition oh my gosh,,,

Bad Internet Bills

All of the bad internet bills. One website.

[toasterpip]

For Canadian folk, there's something to this effect up here at the federal level too!

Look into bill S-209, "An Act to restrict young persons’ online access to pornographic material". CALL YOUR MPs about this!

I'm stuck with one of the outright champions of the bill, but I've been calling literally every day his office is open to register my concerns!

everyone reblog this!!

[Image ID: screenshot from TikTok(?) containing the following text:

Cousins, if someone ever edits your photo with Al or Photoshop to create a nude photo, then you go to www.stopncii.org/and submit the original photo and the edited photo, then they will remove the edited photo from all the places on the Internet. You don't need to talk directly to anyone for this and your identity will remain confidential

Per StopNCII.org, only their partner sites will remove the images, not “all the places on the Internet”—but that’s better than nothing.

Nova Scotia passes law to remove Mi’kmaw land protectors

The NS government just passed a bill called "Protecting Nova Scotians Act" so they can "legally" remove the Mi'kmaw land protectors on Hunter's Mountain to "to protect Nova Scotians utilizing wood resources". Land protectors who refuse to leave the mountain could face up to a $50,000 fine and/or six months in jail!

This is a huge violation of my people's rights and I would like to encourage every Nova Scotian to please make as much a fuss about this as possible. And to every Canadian and person abroad, please continue to pay close attention to this struggle. We are about to see so much police brutality increase, I feel it.

[vigilskept]

Gaslighting of impressive proportions coming from the minister responsible for L’nu Affairs (who is meant to coordinate Mi'kmaq and government consultation — which was entirely circumvented this time around), Leah Martin:

(source)

This is an egregious, unconstitutional and blatant violation of Treaty Rights, and the framing of this legislation as part of a package in service of "protecting Nova Scotians" is unacceptable.

If you are a resident of Nova Scotia, this is the time to support the Sipekne’katik First Nation’s call for Leah Martin’s immediate resignation, and to apply pressure on the provincial legislature. Contact your member of the Legislative Assembly (Don't know who that is? Find out here.)

The reason this bill was able to be passed in the first place was Tim Houston’s Progressive Conservative Party running the shortest fall session of the legislature since 1986 (8 days!!!) and packing these amendments into omnibus bills covering a collection of unrelated matters from enforcing criminal record checks for bar bouncers to addressing housing concerns for victims of domestic violence to… this. Yes, all of these amendments are in one bill. Yes, they're trying to confuse the issue on purpose.

Their strategy is to ram this legislation through without giving the opposition and public time to put forward meaningful resistance, let alone get public attention on the subject. And this will keep getting worse if Nova Scotians allow them to get away with it. Do not let them. Keep your eyes on Unama'ki. Be loud, be disruptive & stand in solidarity with L'nu defenders.
