@quietkeith
well, fuck.
im starting inktober a week late but it’s alright. ink & watercolour
im taking commissions
Bringing my Tumblr out of hibernation to say I'm super happy to finally have this piece by @brount ! 10/10 would recommend him for both read-made stuff and custom commissions.
Wouldn’t it be rad to get a warning before being handed back failing grades? I think that’d be rad.
Or better yet, profs could also use that as a chance to stress that there are ways to succeed beyond doing well on that particular assignment, both in the course but also in life in general.
Being blindsided by <50% when you expected to pass decently is a bad feel.
31 essays on Asian American politics and history, meant for a general audience that may not be familiar with these things. Feel free to pass it around so people don’t have to deal with a paywall.
Tfw you burn out on your classmate over Facebook chat.
If someone looks uncomfortable when you hug them, please stop hugging them.
If someone shuffles away when you stand beside them, don’t move closer to them again.
If someone shrugs your hand off their shoulder, don’t fucking put your hand back on.
Don’t be an asshole. If someone says they don’t like to be touched, I don’t care how much it “offends” you. Stop touching them.
Stop.
Even if they’re family. Especially if they’re kids.
It’s official, today the vast majority of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals sided with Conservatives and voted against an NDP motion calling for initial meetings with premiers to start a universal pharmacare program. 😐
The toilet flooded. I spent way too long cleaning it up by myself. Now I can hear my roommates bitching about the damage and I just heard my name. I swear if somebody comes blaming me for this I will deck them.
I just found my dark green socks after about a month!
(y'all have no idea how happy this makes me)
The European Commission paid €360,000 ($541,980) for a study on how piracy impacts the sales of copyrighted music, books, video games and movies. But the EU never shared the report — possibly because it determined that there is no evidence that piracy is a major problem.
The Dutch firm Ecory was commissioned to research the impact of piracy for several months, eventually submitting a 304-page report to the EU in May 2015. The report concluded that: “In general, the results do not show robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales by online copyright infringements. That does not necessarily mean that piracy has no effect but only that the statistical analysis does not prove with sufficient reliability that there is an effect.”
The report found that illegal downloads and streams can actually boost legal sales of games, according to the report. The only negative link the report found was with major blockbuster films: “The results show a displacement rate of 40 per cent which means that for every ten recent top films watched illegally, four fewer films are consumed legally.”
The study has only come to light now because Julia Reda, a Member of the European Parliament representing the German Pirate Party, posted the report on her personal blog after she got ahold of a copy through an EU Freedom of Information access to document request.
The European Digital Rights organisation suggested in a blog post that the full contents of this report were intentionally suppressed, pointing to a 2016 academic paper by two Commission officials. The paper, “Movie Piracy and Displaced Sales in Europe”, only mentioned the part of the Ecory report that highlights the relationship between piracy and blockbuster film lost sales, and excluded the other findings of the report. Additionally, the paper didn’t even disclose that the cited information came from Ecory’s study.
As Justin Trudeau highlights struggles faced by First Nations, report reveals costs of court battle after family sought government help paying for care
Days after Justin Trudeau told the United Nations that his government was working hard to improve the quality of life for indigenous peoples in Canada, it has emerged that his government spent more than C$110,000 ($88,000) in legal fees to avoid spending C$6,000 on orthodontics for a First Nations teenager suffering from chronic pain.
The figures, released through the Access to Information Act, were made public by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation on Friday. They relate to a continuing court battle that has pitted the federal government against Josey Willier, a teenager from Sucker Creek First Nation, who for two years complained of chronic headaches and jaw pain stemming from an impacted tooth and a severe overbite.
In 2014, two orthodontists warned that without braces, Willier would eventually need invasive jaw surgery. One noted that Willier’s condition would probably worsen and could leave her with difficulties in eating and speaking.

- A young woman in Alberta was denied coverage for dental implants to fill gaps in her mouth resulting from a cleft palate.
- A teenager in Alberta was denied coverage twice, once for orthodontics to correct a severe overbite and molars growing sideways, and as a child, for prescription eye drops following surgery to remove a tumor behind her eye.
These are just cases from Alberta, just in the last two years, where people have had the time, energy, resources and support to go public. Imagine how many people this is happening to whose stories don’t go public.
In a historic letter, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention support the science behind "Undetectable Equals Untransmittable."
After hundreds of other experts and HIV organizations have already signed on to a pledge that recognizes that people living with HIV whose treatment has brought their viral load to an undetectable level — which is nearly half of all HIV-positive people in the U.S. — cannot transmit HIV to any other person, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has come out with the definitive statement on the subject.
[…]
Noting that research has shown that antiretroviral therapy both keeps people living with HIV healthy and has a preventative effect, the CDC writes, “When [antiretroviral treatment] results in viral suppression, defined as less than 200 copies/ml or undetectable levels, it prevents sexual HIV transmission.”
In other words, having one’s HIV suppressed to undetectable levels prevents transmission.
“Across three different studies, including thousands of couples and many thousand acts of sex without a condom or pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP),” the statement continues, “no HIV transmissions to an HIV-negative partner were observed when the HIV-positive person was virally suppressed. This means that people who take ART daily as prescribed and achieve and maintain an undetectable viral load have effectively no risk of sexually transmitting the virus to an HIV-negative partner.”
That is a remarkable statement, as Bruce Richman, executive director of UequalsU.org and the Prevention Access Campaign tells us. “This is the moment we have been waiting for! The CDC agreed today there is ‘effectively no risk’ of sexually transmitting HIV when on treatment and undetectable.”
No risk means zero risk that someone with HIV can sexually transmit the virus to their HIV-negative partner, even if they are not using condoms or PrEP.
finally! this should be really helpful in fighting stigma and advocating for universal access to hiv care.
College to 'set aside title of Master' after professor allegedly asked student 'Do you feel the lash?'
The head of a prestigious graduate college associated with the University of Toronto is apologizing for racist statements made by a faculty member toward a black student.
Hugh Segal is also promising changes at Massey College. Segal issued a statement saying that professor Michael Marrus made “hurtful and completely inappropriate” remarks toward the student over lunch this past Tuesday.
The statement he issued containing the apology did not provide details of the incident, but a letter of complaint signed by dozens of students and faculty members outlines allegations that Segal appeared to corroborate.
The letter of complaint alleges that while the student was in front of Segal, whose official title is “Master” of the college, Marrus overtly invoked images of slavery.
Marrus allegedly said, “You know this is your master, eh? Do you feel the lash?”

Good news: The White supremacist group in Peterborough, Ontario was denied a permit for their rally (which was scheduled for tomorrow).
Bad news: They were denied because they didn’t submit their paperwork on time, not because they were Nazi’s.
Like it out not, and I don’t. Nazi’s do have as much right to march and express their freedom of speech has much has blacks or anyone else. We do not, and should not stop people from exercising their first amendment rights, no matter who they are, whether they agree with or disagree with the message.
1. This is about Canada. There are no first amendment rights in this Country. We have a Charter of Rights & Freedoms, not the American Constitution.
2. When was this about ‘Blacks’?
3. Canada does have limits on freedom of speech, including when that speech becomes hateful. From Canada’s Criminal Code:
Public incitement of hatred
319 (1) Every one who, by communicating statements in any public place, incites hatred against any identifiable group where such incitement is likely to lead to a breach of the peace is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
Wilful promotion of hatred
(2) Every one who, by communicating statements, other than in private conversation, wilfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty of
(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
Also this is in the Charter of Rights & Freedoms too:
Section 1 of the Charter limits all of the other rights in the Charter. It states that “[t]he Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.”
So, no, we don’t have to respect Nazi opinions.

“so i realize it looks like i’m putting a thimble on the board but actually my rooks have been using their downtime to build another rook, one that’s better, stronger, faster—”
“hey welcome back. while you left to get a snack, those six pieces you’d captured slipped their guards, tunneled to safety and emerged right in the middle of your royal palace.”
“oof, looks like you’ve got my king cornered…maybe this is a good time to mention that shortly before we started playing, my pawns and knights revolted and instituted a representative democracy. feel free to kill the puppet ruler that was the one remaining vestige of our tyranny, you cringing servant of the crown. vive la revolution!”
