Hi sorry just wondering what recent news you're referring to in your post about warding indigenous peoples? I haven't seen anything and like to stay informed. Sorry for bothering and thank you for posting

Hello!!

I made that post last year while the first few bodies were being discovered at the residential school mass graves, which hit hard for many people because they were finding out what really happened to their family members that never came back. Parents were finally finding out why their children never returned. We knew what they did to us in those schools, the abuse, SA, and murder but we got a concrete number of children being killed at these schools and buried in mass graves. as of right now that number is over 10,028 and not even half the schools are searched yet, that number comes from 10 of the 130 of the schools in Canada that ran for centuries. They also ran in the United States but there hasn't been much information on those yet.

Don't let the faded photographs fool you, the last school closed in 1996.

All this happened to children, usually under the age of 12, and we still feel the affect today through generational trauma and loss of identity.

The First nations and Inuit hope for wellness line: 1-855-242-3310, its toll free, 24/7 and available in French, English, Cree, Ojibway, and Inuktut (It may be Canada only, im not too sure)

hiy hiy for reading

I think we should start using bikini bottom phrases for everything. Like: "erm, what the scallop" "this is a load of barnacles" "HOLY FISH PASTE" and "tartar sauce"

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL

please don’t start reblogging this again this post ruined my life

As sketchy as the oceangate submarine was... you can bet your ass every single one of musky's endeavors would look just as sketchy if it wasn't for the fact that he's forced to work with government regulators.

Hell, most of his projects are this sketchy if you look a bit closer. For example: the tesla tunnels.

No fire suppression system, no emergency exits, no emergency lighting, no way for EMS to get through, no fucking nothing. I am pretty sure it's not even big enough to open the car's doors.

Or the Cybertruck that's a deathtrap for both the people on the outside and the people on the inside because it utterly disregards the last 50 or so years of advancements in car safety technology such as crumple zones or safety glass

Or the tesla model 3 where you can't even open the back doors without power. So if you're in an accident and lose power... good luck getting your kids out of the back, especially when the huge battery is turning into a huge, unextinguishable flamethrower.

Or the fucking starship launchpad that was utterly destroyed by the rocket and threw huge concrete chunks and other debris around for miles... which, incidentally, also destroyed the rocket.

That's what all these self-proclaimed Silicon Valley tech bro geniuses are like.

They all think they know better than everyone else, and that rules or consequences don't apply to them, and they see safety as little more than an afterthought.

It's why Ai and social media algorithms are used sooooo ethically. It's why amazon and facebook try to find out everything about you and happily sell that data with no disregard for what it could be used for.

It's about damn time one of these CEO dipshits got killed by their own dipshitery, I just wish it had been musk or bezos instead...

Once again, in conclusion:

Let this be your sign to watch older movies right now please

And ISTG if I see one argument that you "don't like movies by problematic white men". Oscar Micheaux has films available as far back as 1920's

Alice Guy has such an extensive filmography starting in 1896 that it is genuinely overwhelming. Including the first film with an all african amercian cast in registered history.

Start caring about history and stop hiding behind fake progressive morals to excuse your ignorance.

This person has done THE most impressive job I have ever seen compiling links to many films and books for free

This is an impressive list of film noirs you can watch for free

TubiTV is my favorite streaming site, it has a spectacular list of older films, and you don't need to even create an account to watch them

Also the amount of great older movies available on youtube always impresses me. Every time I can't find an obscure movie on torrent, it is usually just there on youtube. Mosfilm has been remastering their most classic releases and uploading them there.

Anyway, be curious! Search "films about <thing you like>" on your searching engine of choice. Chances are someone made a movie about it no matter how weird and crazy it might seem!

I know I jest sometimes, but films are legitimately great! There is so much to discover out there, it keeps me always excited for the next great thing I can discover that I had never heard about! Please, shed you chains of hollywood fast food, there is so much beauty just at your reach

My best advice for people new to adulthood: keep emergency food around.

I don't mean like those prepper type people. I mean keep a granola bar in your purse or backpack. If you have a car, keep a jar of peanuts in there.

This is good for if you miss your bus, or forget your wallet somewhere, or get stuck in traffic. You never know when you are going to feel shaky, and it's better to have something quick and easy on hand, in case you need it.

Having emergency food around is your best friend. Trust me.

white ppl have no concept of the pain of finding a community that you belong to and then discovering the deeply entrenched racism in said community

coming out as an nb dyke was freeing don't get me wrong but discovering how racist white wlw can be takes away some of the joy of that experience. we're fetishized or shunned or demonized or mocked or all of the above. then I see and hear white wlw saying shit about how welcoming wlw are like they haven't been pushing us out all this time

I'm not saying this is a problem exclusive to wlw by the way, this happens in literally every community that has white people in it. I've dealt with racism from white people as a member of the disabled community, from white women in feminist spaces, in activist groups I worked with, etc.

white people need to take a good long look at racism in their communities before they start proclaiming them to be welcoming spaces. because I can guarantee that if your community has white people, your community has racism

several jewish people have mentioned in the tags that antisemitism functions in a similar way and has similar impacts, so I think it's worth adding that jewish people are racialized and ostracized in essentially the same way

everything that I described above is an experience that people of colour share with jewish people

solidarity between racialized peoples ✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

saw a post abt HBO removing shows that suggests ppl just “burn dvds” but everyone doesnt know how to do that so here is one way to do that

- get blank dvds (Both +R or -R work, I think +R is slightly cheaper, the difference is rewritability), these are not very expensive for the amount you can get in bulk (if you are in the US 100 of them is about 30$ at walmart)

- an external DVD drive that plugs in via usb is also around 20-40$ (it tends to be closer to 20)

- download DVDFlick (free)

- if you don’t already have the mp4/mpeg of whatever media you want to burn, you can download movies/shows off of sites like gomovies.sx and soap2day

gomovies.sx will have a download button that looks like this

below the video you can choose one of these

if you click streamlare for example and then the download button it will take you here where the mp4 is

(if you’re on an iphone/ipad, clicking download will save it to your files app)

- if you cant find the download button on soap2day you can also install a video downloader extension which will find the movie for you

- at this point you can drag and drop it into a google drive or keep it on your computer but if you still want it on dvd ->

- open dvd flick, drag and drop the video

- click “project settings”

- give it whatever title you want, you can change encoder to “normal” (default is below normal if you are doing other things on the computer). you dont need to change target size or thread count (unless you want to)

- insert a blank dvd into your drive, make sure you click “burn project to disc”

- click accept then click “create dvd” next to menu and project settings. it will create a destination folder and this dialogue box will pop up when you click “create” on more dvds, just click “yes” and then “okay” on the box that appears after it

it’ll take a couple hours, once its done take a sharpie & write whats on it and stick it in a case . or dont . im not ur mom

🔫 check the notes for my replies i am no longer asking 🔫
