I gained a small amount of followers and noticed something so I thought I'd just say it.

You are worth it.

You're worth it. You are. You don't have to be okay right now, because sometimes things get to be a lot.

I promise you get better. I promise you don't stay like this forever. I know it might be months or years of things not being okay, but I know personally it gets better.

I will not lie. This shit is hard work. It's hard work with no reward at first; you shower or brush your teeth because you have to. You clean up because you have to. You smile because you have to.

What is the reward, then?

A sunset, every day. The warmth of heaters when it's cold outside. Your next meal, which could be so delicious, the one that's going to knock you out of the park.

Your reward is new friends, people you meet in 10 or 20 or 50 years. Your reward is experiences, like that road trip after your divorce or joining a book club that meets once a month. Your reward can be selfish and it can be goofy, like putting up the holiday decorations you like.

There is a world out there for you. For all of us. Not everyone is going to like you, nor will it be easy very often. But that's okay. Deep breath in. Deep breath out.

Good health, long life, and great fortune to you.

I notice alot of my followers on here skipping these posts just to mess with my lgbt ones, suspiciously the white popular ones.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

They were murdered in cold blood.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

Reblog this or just stop following me

I had seen the first picture of the church, but not the second.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

They were all children, injured, abused, and killed in my country’s attempt to erase them. I want the world to see this and hold the state accountable to *active* reconciliation> I mean we could at least truly adopt UNDRIP in action instead of words for god’s sake.

[gayvampyr]

here you can read an article about a survivor of the church and some of the things he experienced to help put into perspective how awful and just how recent it was

[nothingweirdhere]

this is the memorial at the vancouver art gallery. 215+ pairs of children’s shoes (as well as stuffed toys and flowers) cover the steps…

[knowitalltosurvive]

White Americans (USAmerican and Canadian) owe everything to the indigenous people. The survival of the colonizers and slavers, the troves of wealth stolen, the land, the health of the land, the erasure of history and culture. Until the attempted genocide is acknowledged and reparations are repaid, they have no business talking about freedom or progress

[stoptheantisemitism]

I read this column by Chris Hedges that I wanted to share.

He makes a great argument about how Zionists have weaponized the holocaust and transformed it into an industry that uses it to justify the actions of Israel instead of using it to learn from history.

I agree with how he points out the fact that Holocaust institutions and scholars have largely failed to condemn the genocide in Gaza and turned "Never Again" into "Never again for Jews"

It's a great read and there is also this video that is worth watching

[stoptheantisemitism]

I am sharing this again because I think it's a powerful piece.

We all need to stop allowing the weaponization of the Holocaust. Specifically by Zionists who are using it to carry out a genocide

[knowitalltosurvive]

It is never okay to eradicate or destroy an entire people no matter what. It is never okay to kill or harm another human being regardless of who they are. But to do it to millions of people you've never met, for reasons of greed and bloodlust? It's shameful.

[knowitalltosurvive]

A curse is something you learn to live with

I swear the urge to live flows within my beating heart

And things continue to get better and better and better

But still the will to carry on wanes.

My spirit burns within me

A candle bright enough to keep the darkness at bay

And strong enough to withstand

The harshest winds

The coldest rain

The cruelest days.

Push on, fight on, strive on,

Ball and chain my necklace,

Stronger than most,

Forever my weight. Forever my curse.

Kintsugi the cracks in me,

A golden light in a makkuro frame.

If someone asked me tomorrow what my favourite One Piece episode is, I would answer without hesitation: 1163.

I have waited for this moment for so long, and now I can’t stop crying. My joy is so overwhelming that it keeps bringing me to tears.

I am so happy for Robin. This woman deserves the world.

Thank you, Oda and One Piece, for still giving me so many emotions after all this time. I still can't describe how perfect is this episode. I'm still shaking.

[knowitalltosurvive]

14 years ago I was a very depressed teenager and watching One Piece because my best friend at the time recommended it to me. After attempting suicide, I saw Nico Robin cross the bridge into the world government and, in tears, tell Luffy "I wanna live!"

Watching this episode today, I found myself in tears. Because it feels like, after all this time, I've made it. Because it feels like Robin and I made the same journey. I'm so grateful to have made it this far. Thank you for saying you're proud of me for living.

[ladyorlandodream]

I don't know you, but I send you a big hug and thank you for being alive ❤️

[knowitalltosurvive]

<3<3<3<3 Thank you very much!!!

I’m making a movie and this is the actors

[radical-revolution]

Revolutionary joy is the idea that finding and expressing happiness, delight, and connection, especially in oppressive systems, becomes a radical act of resistance, defiance, and persistence, fueling movements for liberation and affirming life against systems that profit from pain and suffering. It's not naive positivity but a cultivated, hard-won defiance that builds community, dismantles fear, and creates hope, seen in acts like protest dancing or celebrating life amidst hardship.

It's the understanding that joy isn't a luxury but a strategic, powerful tool for survival and liberation, embodying resilience and a vision for a better world.

I'm calling the boss who hates me "My friend" and wishing him the best as often as possible and he cannot stop me from having a nice day and it makes him feel so awful and I will never stop being kind, it's so powerful

[donutdrawsthings]

my most sick and twisted fantasy

[donutdrawsthings]

I was honestly a bit nervous to draw and post this one, because it's such a deep rooted and genuine issue I struggle with. It's a thing I wish could be fixed in some way, but I feel pretty comforted it resonated with so many others too

[knowitalltosurvive]

Things are bad and there's so little to do about it. Most people are trapped by this system in some way, shape, or form, and everyone struggles in some measure to escape. The Buddha taught us that the world is full of suffering and to accept that is the way out. Humans are supposed to be practical problem solvers. Certainly we can all agree that things aren't working and problems are everywhere with easy enough solutions to many of them.

Why don't more people want to solve problems? Is it enough to sit and idle in muck?

[knowitalltosurvive]

It's your right to throw compostable things into forests and onto roadsides. The local environment could use the nutrients really

[knowitalltosurvive]

How to defeat your manager

1. Get in trouble real bad for nothing

2. Have the manager (who does the same thing you do) yell at you in front of everyone

3. Sit back and wait for worker solidarity

It's tough being a sacrificial lamb but an unjust asshole is going to get it and HR and the CEO are involved lmao, everyone involved doesn't like the manager on a personal level cause he's an asshole

[knowitalltosurvive]

Oh hell yeah I can complain here

Work sucks tbh this manager is making me real mad
