I'm gonna reblog with some videos of people speaking various American Indian/indigenous American languages, because I think most people don't even know what they sound like. Not to be judgement of that—just, you know, I think people who want to be informed should know what they sound like!
get it done the weird way. do it in parts. do it “wrong”. do it “late”. do it scared. it’s just better to do it differently than everyone else rather than never do it.
Public comment has been opened on changing passport forms. It's important that people who aren't trans please take a minute and say "hey this is bad". Please help. :)
I don't know if I think this will change anything, but it's a 5 minute investment of time, and it can't hurt.
When it comes to tumblr posts that rewire your brain, I really do appreciate "you could if you weren't a fucking coward".
It's far too easy to rule off entire options in life by saying that you can't do something. Like that's too absolute, you're not just closing a door on it but laying brick over the door like the door was never there in the first place. It's dangerous to think "I can't", you'll believe it.
It's much more useful to be able to look at something and think: "I could do that, but I don't want to deal with the consequences of doing that." It's a bad option, but it is an option. You're actively choosing to do something else than that one.
Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.
As an adult you must cultivate the skill of “Gross! Oh, well. Not my business.”
Questions I think to myself a lot when confronted with certain kinds of Online Posting:
Do you want a better world, or do you want revenge on those you think aren’t doing enough to improve it?
Do you want a more just world, or do you want to see bad people suffer merciless punishment?
Do you want a less oppressive world, or do you want the reins of power for yourself?
Do you want to do the right thing, or do you want to feel righteous?

WHAT’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT MAKES YOU A+ FUCKING FUN!!! WHY ARE YOU A DELIGHT TO BE AROUND?! I’LL GO FIRST!!!
Like, the tariff thing got us mad, but the 51st state thing? It's got us seething.
Liberals, progressives, even most of the Conservatives are all united on this.
We're sharing lists of Canadian-owned alternatives to American brands.
We're cancelling tourist trips to the US (one lady in a news story said she cancelled a trip to Florida for six and doesn't regret losing $1,300 due to the cancellation).
And if we have to go to the US, such as the couple who's selling their California home? We're taking Canadian flights instead.
Some travel agencies have seen as much as a 40% decrease in bookings of flights from Canada to the US, and it's estimated it'll affect at least $2.1 billion dollars of the travel industry alone (not counting the tourism side of things like Disney trips and hotel bookings).
I've also heard of people from the Commonwealth cancelling trips to the US to visit Canada instead, and the same from people in Europe.
