CBC Gem has a section called Inuktitut where you can watch various media about Intuit peoples and their lives and experiences.

I highly recommend ANGAKUSAJAUJUQ (The Shaman's Apprentice) for Terror fans! It's a short animation about a girl who has been mentored by her grandmother to be a shaman. she faces her first test to help a young hunter who has fallen ill. The animation is so good and the story is very cute and obviously Silna-coded (if she had a happier story 😭).

I also recommend the episode Grape Soda in the Parking Lot of How to Lose Everything. The entirety of the show is a good watch on how colonialism has affected indigenous peoples across Canada, but Grape Soda in the Parking Lot was relatable to me personally, and because of that, sat with me for a long time. It's offered in English and in Inuktitut - I mention this as the episode is a short about the loss of language through colonialism - both Taqralik's father and grandmother lost their knowledge of Inuktitut and Scottish Gaelic (respectively) through English colonialism. The story hits close to home, as I am a child of a francophonie family whose cousins and second cousins are slowly losing our own language. It's not quite the same - French is an official language, has the backing of the Quebec nation to keep it alive. It is taught in schools and much more accessible for people to learn, even as adults. Inuktitut is easy to lose, especially how Taqralik's father lost it - having to leave home to be treated for tuberculosis, which is a common reason Inuit arrive in bigger towns and cities in Canada, because if they get seriously ill, their medical facilities are not equipped to treat them. It's a much bigger system that causes the loss than we really realize. There are places that offer Inuktitut language learning where I live now, but they are few and far in between, and sometimes are not financially accessible to people, despite grants and other supports.

Tonight I'll be watching One Day in the Life of Noah Piugattuk.

I hope you guys find time to check out some of these pieces, and maybe also check out Isuma.tv - a film production company and platform that showcases Inuit (and other indigenous community groups) stories and media.

#I mean the amnesia I’m sure is not medically accurate #but it’s soooo grounded #in Canada #and Canadian hockey

Always love that feeling when the weed just fully hits. Like you have that conscious 'oh, I'm starting to feel it' and then its like tipping over into a waterfall of honeyed bliss and joyful musings

Ur writing a Frankenstein adaptation and there are 2 wolves within u

One of them wants to jump to the Creature's creation because that's the main character anyway

The other wants to properly illustrate Victor(ia)'s backstory and the things that led to the creation

The main problem being Victor is verbose and without honor and having to edit down enough that we aren't missing anything important while also not spending 20 pages drawing a nerd studying because that gets boring really fast and I'll never finish it.

#this is of course on top of the other comic I'm drawing that is. also an AU of the book. but a romance.#and then there's the continuation story I thought of doing but idk if anyone wants to read Frankenstein Meets Texas Chainsaw Massacre #....well more like Frankenstein Meets Legally Distinct Cannibal Murder Family #In Canada #or if i should just keep that one to myself lmao
