America is the type to order a beer cause it makes him look more manly (✨internalised toxic masculinity yay✨) then look longingly at the bright pink fruity cocktail Canada ordered cause he always flies under the radar hence stopped giving a fuck about what anyone thinks of his drink choices.

I love living in the conservative chamberpot of Canada where the cons here constantly white Ukrainian Canadian history to dismiss racism and make out Ukrainians as what all prairie folk should be, constantly use our ancestors’ hardships as part of their bootstraps narrative, compare everything to the Holodomor and the soviet oppression of Ukrainians, and constantly make themselves out as the party for us, but then when the war actually breaks out and we’re looking to protect our families and homeland of our people, so many of those same conservatives stood for russia and made Ukrainians into the next cog of the Q anon plot

Ahhhh, thank you!!!! 🖤 I know technically reader inserts are supposed to be ambiguous but I NEEDED a Newfie to brighten my day, as they so often do, (and one to ruin Price's because I can absolutely imagine him losing his mind in rural NFL lmao). I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!

TW U Waterloo stabbing / i think something that is especially scary about this recount of the stabbing is that the perpetrator found joy in being able to commit gender/ideological violence. People will often position bigots as being mentally ill and thereby irrational and not at fault OR they position them as lonely people who fall victim to online manipulation and thereby not responsible. But J Chow, who was sitting front row in the class had a detailed account that not only was the the guy calm, but he was smiling, like he was happy to stab people. incel/far right indoctrination or not, he enjoyed committing violence on women and also "serving" transphobia and misogyny.

there is also this comment on u waterloo reddit thread. like i've always felt bigots are like beyond sympathy and compassion. i know so many lonely people, some of them only dating for the first time at 29 and they aren't bigots... so ugh idk. like it's not a loneliness problem, its a fascism and white supremacy and misogyny and transphobia problem. and like organized wealthy white supremacists get to sit back because their average joe bigot will do all the violence for them.

very strange to think that if it wasn’t for covid I would’ve gone on T and probably gotten top surgery by now

Just a reminder that the RCMP admitted to using malware to spy on Canadians because "Normal means of Spyware can't get past encryption" and no major Canadian news networks have reported on this as of this post.
Further reminder that we cannot protest without our PM calling for federal law and freezing bank accounts. We are still being held borderline captive and are watching our government try to quietly move goal posts for being vaccinated enough to do anything when said companies have put out papers saying that said vaccine is not doing enough and the effectiveness is waning.

I seriously can't wrap my head around the fact that pain is such a normal daily experience for me that it took 12.5 weeks to realize my toe has been broken this whole time and that's why it's been hurting.
Nothing about the experience of pain grabs my attention or makes me investigate it anymore. There's usually never a cause and never anything to be done about it when I do try to look into it. I just exist in pain, all the time. Idk what possessed me to actually examine my toe but I was truly not expecting it to be purple and swollen and I feel like an absolute idiot for not looking at it sooner and for just accepting that pain in this toe was simply one more thing to add to the list of things that just hurt for no reason. I also feel really fucking sad that my reality is such that I went 12.5 weeks without bothering to look into the source of this pain because there's a huge sense of learned helplessness when it comes to my body because it just does things against my will and there's nothing I can do about any of it, so there's never much point.
It's fucking me up.
I hate my body so much and for so many reasons.
