"In a historic “first-of-its-kind” agreement the government of British Colombia has acknowledged the aboriginal ownership of 200 islands off the west coast of Canada.
The owners are the Haida nation, and rather than the Canadian government giving something to a First Nation, the agreement admits that the “Xhaaidlagha Gwaayaai” or the “islands at the end of world,” always belonged to them, a subtle yet powerful difference in the wording of First Nations negotiating.
BC Premier David Eby called the treaty “long overdue” and once signed, will clear the way for half a million hectares (1.3 million acres) of land to be managed by the Haida.
Postal service, shipping lanes, school and community services, private property rights, and local government jurisdiction, will all be unaffected by the agreement, which will essentially outline that the Haida decide what to do with the 200 or so islands and islets.
“We could be facing each other in a courtroom, we could have been fighting each other for years and years, but we chose a different path,” said Minister of Indigenous Relations of BC, Murray Rankin at the signing ceremony, who added that it took creativity and courage to “create a better world for our children.”
Indeed, making the agreement outside the courts of the formal treaty process reflects a vastly different way of negotiating than has been the norm for Canada.
“This agreement won’t only raise all boats here on Haida Gwaii – increase opportunity and prosperity for the Haida people and for the whole community and for the whole province – but it will also be an example and another way for nations – not just in British Columbia, but right across Canada – to have their title recognized,” said Eby.
In other words, by deciding this outside court, Eby and the province of BC hope to set a new standard for how such land title agreements are struck."

just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.
do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.
write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.
do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.
boycott ALL of eurovision.

my apologies if this has already been posted here but im sharing this. here is what someone said on twitter along w this image:
the central image text reads: “@everyone I HAVE BEEN RELIABLY INFORMED GUARDIAN JOURNALISTS ARE SNOOPING AROUND ASKING FOR TRANS PEOPLE TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT DIY HRT. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY LOOKING FOR UNDER-18S DOING DIY. SHOULDN'T NEED TO BE SAID, BUT DO. NOT. ENGAGE. SPREAD WIDELY. DO NOT ENGAGE. WE NEED THIS NOTICE SPREAD OUT VIA EVERY GRASSROOTS SUPPORT GROUP AND SOCIAL CIRCLE IN THE COUNTRY.
URGENT. IF THEY GET EVEN ONE TO TAKE PART IT BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION. TOP ALERT.
Guardian journos are apparently asking trans people about DIY. Trans followers: DO NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THEM. NOT A WORD.
I also know I’ve got cis mutuals who have written for the Guardian. Please know I’ve always thought less of you because of that.

If anyone is still participating in boycotting, I’d like to recommend an app. It’s called No Thanks and developed by a Palestinian.
It’s very user friendly and allows you to search or barcode scan products.
If you’re not keen on downloading anything, there’s also a website called bdnaash.com that has similar functions.
Stay decent and as always, free Palestine

I was originally planning on holding off sharing this until June, but then decided to hell with that; why wait?
FURTHER RESOURCES:
Intersections: Indigenous and 2SLGBTQQIA+ Identities – this booklet from the Native Women’s Association of Canada is more intended towards 2S folks, but is still a great read for anyone.
Two Spirits, One Voice – This video from Egale is a great, no more comments needed.
A Two-Spirit Journey: The Autobiography of a Lesbian Ojibwa-Cree Elder – This book by Ma-Nee Chacaby can be a difficult and emotional read, but very much worth it.
Becoming Two-spirit: Gay Identity and Social Acceptance in Indian Country – I have yet to read this book by Brian Joseph Gilley myself, but heard positive things about it.
Please feel free to reblog with more suggestions, if you have them!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️⚧️✨
I couldn’t be more proud to be part of such an amazing community filled with the most wonderful people. My own trans journey has evolved so much over the past year & I am so grateful to be able to be seen today & every day 💙
Once again, I’ve given Egg some (but not all!) flags under the trans umbrella! I hope you can find yours here 🩷

hey...so i don't know if i'm nonbinary or just a weird girl, but like...i dunno i don't really identify fully as female? like i'm cool with it i guess, but definitely prefer to look/act androgynous, as well as use an androgynous nickname and prefer they/them pronouns, though i am alright with she/her too. i've never really 'been like other girls' (which sounds cringey but it's the best way i can explain it), and recently i've started getting really uncomfortable/dysphoric about my chest, binding it most of the time and wearing clothes that hide my figure more. i started questioning if i'm nonbinary a few months ago (i'm 14) and came out to a friend telling her that i'm mostly just questioning but pretty sure i'm not entirely female, switching between simply identifying as demigirl/demifluid and nonbinary. i'm not sure if i'm actually nonbinary but it does feel mostly right, but the thing is my family and i are very religious, and it goes against the beliefs to transition, even socially, so i'm very conflicted about whether i'm 'allowed' to use they/them pronouns or a more androgynous/masculine nickname. sorry if this is just a rant that makes no sense i'm super confused and conflicted
hi friend! if being nonbinary is what makes you feel good and comfortable theeen use it! youre allowed to do whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

If you're feeling isolated right now, remember that you're not the only nonbinary person out there.
We can be tough to find due to various societies trying to bury us. Nevertheless, there will always be someone who understands what it is to be nonbinary.
Our nonbinary family is everywhere.
