*pretends to be shocked but also maybe this will make people realize that Indigenous People Know What The Hell They’re Doing and Deserve Respect*

3 other fun/cool facts about the Inuit:

1. They also invented kayaks and dog booties.

Dog booties are actually really important for working sled dogs in winter to protect their paw pads from iceburn and keep ice from getting in between their toes and burning them that way.

2. The traditional Inuit diet is one of the healthiest in the world, and the most balanced for the ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 consumption

Most modern diets consume way too much Omega 6 and not enough Omega 3.

3. Inuit is a plural noun. When speaking about a single person the correct word is Inuk (always capitalized)

For example, “This Inuk woman is wearing traditional Inuit tattoos”.

And she is wonderful

If you’re not American and want a recap of the first 20 minutes of the debate:

Update (10 minutes later):

• Trump is comparing COVID to swine flu (200k deaths vs ~14k respectively)

• Biden brought up the bleach injection thing and Trump tried to claim it was sarcastic while obviously pouting

• Trump is claiming he spoke to the “scientists in charge” (of what? from where? who are they? we do. It know!) and we’ll have a vaccine “very soon”

• Trump just told Biden not to call himself smart as he is “anything but”

• “Tell that you Nancy Pelosi.” “Will he just shush?”

• Trump is showing how little he actually understands COVID

• shut down is “very bad” and shut down states are “doing very bad” meanwhile Glorida governor just lifted all COVID regulations

• “He shows up with the biggest mask I have ever seen!!!” ????? What?????

Round 3 of this shit show, here we go:

• He’s calling COVID the “China Flu” and blaming China for all the COVID deaths here (so I guess he has no sense of accountably)

• He keeps saying we have the best economy in the world (OBVIOUS lies)

• Biden just asked for more time back to make up for Trump’s interruptions during his allotted time

• “I have to respond to that” “You’ve both already had your time, Sir” Trump continues to talk and ignore the monitor

• “I’m the one who brought back football!” Sports players and team staff from all different sports leagues are still testing COVID positive despite isolation

• “No, Mr. President, I am asking you a question” this monitor is dealing with an errant child

• “How much in taxes did you pay in 2016 and 2017?” “Millions and millions of dollars.” YEAH, OKAY.

• “You’re the worst president we’ve ever had.” — Biden

We’re only halfway there, cry (part 6):

• Trump actually has the balls to tell off Biden about race when he’s a racist and treating people and their children who crossed the southern border like animals in cages

• Trump is so white-sensitive and xenophobic it’s painful

• “He’s racist” Biden isn’t even pretending to give a fuck

• Trump is (still) staring Biden down like he’s his prey and he’s trying to intimidate him but Biden is refusing to even glance his way

• Every time Biden says anything, Trump has to disagree even if it’s statistics/facts

• Trump has said “law and order” at least a dozen time in the past 10 minutes

• “Mr. President, you be really happy with the next subject of debate: law and order” gee I wonder what they’re talking about

• Law and order (x100)

• We’re turning the conversation towards protests, here we go

I wanna cry and laugh at the same time, part 7:

• “he made a statement! I need to respond!” *moderator frantically starts telling him that no, no he does not*

• “Antifa is an idea, not an organization” — Biden

• “Antifa is a dangerous, ridiculous group.” — Trump

• Now we’re talking about Clinton and her “con job”

• “He’s Putin’s puppy.” — Biden

• TRUMP IS P I S S E D

• “You’re party has agreed not to interrupt —” *Trump interrupts* “That was not a rhetorical question!”

• Trump is taking more shots at Biden’s son, Hunter

• Now the moderator is getting pissed

• *frustrated moderator voice* “I want to talk about climate change”

• Insulting the Paris Accord, talking about business over the environment

• Won’t talk about the actual science of climate change, just keeps talking about forest management and forest cities??? And he cares about clean air so apparently that’s an answer about science

• “If you believe in the science of climate change, why did you roll back about the emissions?” “Because it was too expensive” oh, so it IS about money

80 minutes down, 40 to go (part 8):

• Biden says he’ll join the Paris Accord if elected

• Moderator is fact-checking the shit out of this debate, on both sides

• “Trump actually said we should drop a nuclear weapon on the hurricane” “that’s not true” “it is true” “no it’s not, made up”

• We’re back to bringing up China, Russia, and India again which he keeps bringing up in that same order as if he can’t remember any other countries and had to memorize those just for tonight

• “The final question is — I can’t remember which of his rantingsis up” “me too” (paraphrased but still)

• The Biden Plan™️

• Trump’s own officials assure mail-in voting is safe and not rigged but apparently trump disagrees with his own officials

• Biden reminding you to VOTE. TRUMP. OUT.

• “Crooked Hillary Clinton”

• Trump’s sad because a ballot with his name on it was in the trash (odd, because that’s where it should be)

• Trump is all but threatening to go to the Supreme Court about mail-in ballots and voting legitimacy, once again hinting that he will not leave office peacefully in January 2021 if voted out

• Biden told Trump he was afraid of losing the election because of losing the vote and from fraud and Trump got SO MAD again

• Now all three men are talking loudly at once and nothing productive is happening

Part nine (the finale!):

• Out of nowhere, Trump: “Bad things happen in Philadelphia! Bad things.”

• Trump said mail-in voting has already been proven fraudulent and Biden deadass tells him he has no idea what he’s talking about

• Debate ends and Melanie slinks on stage. No mask.

• Jill Biden greets moderator politely and wears a mask (guess which has actual manners)

• Post-interview time!

• “It was a pure train wreck. I don’t know how that helped anybody if you’re an independent voter.”

• other station: “it was a disaster”

• Everyone’s immediately calling out Trump for being rude and interrupting and agitated from the very beginning of the debate til the end.

• “This took it too far, even for Donald Trump”

• “The way he ran that debate is the way he runs the country” YUP

• Turned on Fox just to get an idea of what both sides are saying and they’re talking about Biden losing his cool but he only was because trump wouldn’t shut up??

• Overall, it was a massive shit show and the president disgraced to American politics

Last thing I want to add:

I could only notate/paraphrase so much. Please look up more info and recaps about the debate if you missed it or can’t catch a recording. Second-hand information is only so much; always try to inform yourself first-hand, too, and double-check things you watch/read/hear. And of course:

PLEASE VOTE!

I’m not an American citizen. I don’t vote in America. I watched this whole thing with my own two eyes and I still can’t believe this is the man who runs this country. To my American fellows: please vote this asshole out, I’m begging you.

It is time for a fucking revolution.

If the fashion industry thrives on newness and novelty then they are failing themselves.

If you want a ‘new twist on a classic style’ I’ve got one for you.

Make a pencil skirt for someone who is 5ft 3.

Make a white shirt that will button over my breasts.

Make a shift dress that doesn’t get ‘nipped in at the waist’.

Make a pair of shoes that won’t aggravate my ankle injury.

Make a ‘nude-coloured’ dress that is dark brown.

Make your plus-sized jeans in actual denim, not some shitty stretch fabric dyed blue.

You want a fresh take on the classics?

Try making your clothes for someone who isn’t six foot tall and a size 6.

For once.

Please.

oh and also make fucking steel-toed boots under the size mens 8 1/2

Make some form-fitting shirts that are thick enough to stop our bras from showing through.

Make sensitive skin-friendly buttons and clasps so we don’t have worry about the metal making us break out in contact dermatitis (that’s a localized rash that can easily become an infection, for the uninformed).

Make a long dress that is easy to go to the bathroom in.

Make a pair of jeans that actually fit in the crotch area instead of putting us at risk of a yeast infection (No “V”).

Make more dress shoes that aren’t heels.

Put more pockets in women’s clothes.

CREATE A FUCKING UNIVERSAL SIZING SYSTEM THAT MAKES SENSE.

Every. Last. Fucking. One. Of These.

All sadly true!

Make sweaters and jackets that actually insulate and keep us warm

Give us real flannel, not cotton knock-offs

If you’re going to sew the pocket closed, don’t even bother putting it on

I would like to reiterate: GIVE 👏🏿WOMEN 👏🏿FUCTIONAL👏🏿 POCKETS👏🏿. Give us ALL THE POCKETS.

Also:

- make clothes that last for longer than a single season before they wear out

- make clothes without using sweatshops, child labour, underpaying and mistreating workers at ANY stage of clothing cycle

- make clothes using ecologically produced fabrics, and reduce the environmental impact of the clothing industry across the board

- make quality clothing accessible and affordable for all

- end the fast fashion industry

- give ! us ! a ! universal ! sizing ! system !! and ! pockets !!!

I hate when people use the phrase “what have I done” because then sweet jesus what have I done become a thief in the night become a dog on the run have I fallen so far and is the hour so late that nothing remains but the cry of my hate the cries in the dark that nobody hears here where I stand at the turning of the years if there’s another way to go I missed it twenty long years ago my life was a war that could never be won they gave me a number and murdered valjean when they chained me and left me for dead just for stealing a mouthful of bread yet why did I allow that man to touch my soul and teach me love he treated me like any other he gave m

Watch: A documentary is explaining the many ways movies, TV shows and ads makes fat people feel cursed and invisible

When you only see yourself depicted on the screen as a sidekick, a villain, a predator, or a joke, how does that affect the way you view yourself in real life?

As y’all might have seen there’s a new Mansfield coming out which is very exciting - but a reminder please my name is now Harley and I go by they/them pronouns!

This legitimately needs to be in future literature textbooks to capture the Covid-19 Pandemic.
