White Supremacy recruitment posters in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. July 19th, 2017.

I’ve blurred the links in the poster (as to not give these pieces of trash more exposure), which all link to White Supremacist websites.

People need to stomp this nazi trash out.

HI, YES THIS IS SHIT. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, SAVE THEM AND BRING THEM TO THE POLICE OR REPORT THEM. IT WILL GO TO THE HATE CRIMES DIVISION.

Congress 2017 - The Next 150, On Indigenous Lands: A Settler Colonial Reconciliatory Facade

Congress 2017 – The Next 150, On Indigenous Lands: A Settler Colonial Reconciliatory Facade

Congress 2017: An Introduction

Once a year, straddling the end of May and beginning of June, the majority of social sciences and humanities discipline associations converge on a Canadian university for their annual meetings. This year, there were 70 associations and approximately 9,000 academics attending Congress 2017 at Ryerson University in Toronto.

I don’t like Congress. It’s too big; there…

O'Leary's not an MP right? How does that work with the leadership race, like, if he wins and (gods forbid) wins an election would he be a PM without a riding?

No.

I’m pretty sure you have to be an MP to be a PM, but so far O’Leary has refused to run for a seat. So I don’t know what he’s thinking.

[savanna]

I think he’s thinking as usual that we live in the fifty-first US state.

Hello up there! Pay no attention to the fact that it’s Monday and Daylight Savings just went into effect yesterday. Instead let’s enjoy looking at horses from a whole new perspective. Photographer Andrius Burba specializes in photographing animals from underneath. He calls it the Underlook project and horses are his latest and largest subjects to date. We’re dying to skritch their bellies.

“I looked for different examples of what was done on the internet and after no similar results I decided that I have to do it and be the first person to shoot a standing horse from underneath. As I started to organise the photoshoot of a horse, I knew that all I needed is to get 600 kg horse on a glass, dig 3 meters into the ground, put my camera under a big glass and take a shot.”

Burba and his crew of 40 people spent two months preparing for his Under-Horses photoshoot, which included finding a horse-friendly location for the shoot and having rubber horseshoes made so the horses could walk on the glass without scratching it.

Visit the Underlook website or follow the project on Facebook to check out more of Burba’s delightfully unusual animal portraits.

real life hack for autistic peeps who have trouble with eye contact. if you stare at someones nose they literally cant tell the difference. i had an employer tell me that they could tell i was confident because i made such strong eye contact and i probably looked at their actual eyes twice the whole time. allistics are wild.

Also, if there is a woman wearing eye makeup you can look at her makeup. When I explain my problems with eye contact to female friends I often get “But you look at my eyes all the time!”

No

You have fallen for my trick

I was looking at your eyeliner/eyeshadow/false eyelashes this whole time

I look at their mouths, and no one can ever tell. I think the key is not to move your eyes around a lot, because that’s when it become obvious.
