Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?

They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care

It should NOT fall on Indigenous people's shoulders to keep this known still. We’ve been doing that for generations at this point and NO ONE wants to listen to us.

We’re tired, mourning and constantly reopening our trauma and pain to keep people caring about us. It’s terrible.

I should start by noting that I am white, and not Canadian, and that if op wants me to remove this comment for any reason, please let me know.

This is a map of all the residential schools in Canada:

[link to the article it’s attached to, it’s interactable there, so you can get a better look around]

Each dot on this map represents a residential school. Blue dots mean the school is considered completely searched. Yellow dots mean they are either in the process of being searched or there are plans to be searched. Red dots indicate that no search has happened and that no search is currently planned

There were more than 130 residential schools in Canada. This map suggests that only six have been fully searched, and a little more than a dozen partially searched (I counted 15 yellow dots). That leaves at least 109 schools completely untouched.

Let that sink in; if 6,000-7,000 unmarked, indigenous children’s graves were found by searching less than a fifth of all the schools, how many are still undiscovered.

Wikipedia estimates that the body count could be over 50,000, and honestly, that could be a low estimate

[ID: A map of Canada with dozens of dots on it, 6 of which are blue and 7 of which are yellow; the rest are red. Later there is a screenshot from wikipedia reading, “Estimates range from 3,200 to over 50,000 children that were killed. Most of the recorded student deaths at residential schools took place before the 1950s. /end ID]

The residential school system was a calculated, open, and forthrightly declared attempt at the total genocide of all indigenous peoples in this country. It was literally meant to wipe them out entirely, through a combination of attrition and assimilation.

Never forget that this is what Canada is really built upon.

I went to an mcr concert!!!! The little emo girl that ran this blog as a my chem fan page during quarantine is screaming right now

a group of mystery-solving teens break into my wizard tower and—after a series of whimsical and spooky hijinks—manage to tie me up and say “alright gang, time to see who’s really behind this ugly ‘evil wizard’ mask,” and then they pull on my face and i go “ow…”

krongus

Would you like Krongus to remove the teens from the premises

evilwizard

jeepers. just throw em in the pit

krongus

Which pit?

The tower possesses 3 pits

evilwizard

the—the death pit, obviously

krongus

Krongus is unsure of the morality of condemning the teenagers to the death pit

evilwizard

would you do it for a krongy snack

July is disability awareness month but a lot of people tend to forget it :/ :/ :/

It’s all OK if you didn’t know, don’t feel bad about it, it’s a great occasion to listen to disabled people! We might not have pretty flags who will catch your attentions like during pride months, but we’re still here!

To clarify, now that I’ve looked it up, in the US at least July is specifically ADA Awareness Month. A great thing to do this month is look up laws surrounding pwd and our property.

Some examples:

Grabbing a mobility device (wheelchair, cane, walker, etc) without permission is assault.

Pushing someone’s wheelchair without permission is kidnapping.

Service dog teams are not required to carry any paperwork or certificates with them.

It’s also a good time to look at laws that need to be changed or better enforced:

People on disability income cannot get married without losing their benefits.

People on disability income cannot have more than $2000, including property value (my $300 mattress counts against it), which means they cannot save money if they don’t know about ABLE accounts.

Airlines habitually break the law by mistreating passengers’ wheelchairs.

Accessible construction is still considered an afterthought rather than a cornerstone of design. And no matter what construction companies say, it’s only more expensive to be accessible if you’re tearing up existing features to add ramps and such later, rather than doing it from the get-go.

Disabled people are routinely murdered by doctors who determine that they have no “quality of life” and are better off dead.

All these things disproportionately affect disabled people of color. Educate yourself, attend a virtual town hall meeting if you can, and bring these things up. Make things better.
