Two-year-old Albert Apsassin feeling the spirit at National Indigenous Peoples Day in Camrose, Alberta.

Babies doing the Thing with their grownups will never not be an immediate and loving reblog.

This is also important because until 1951, Indigenous kids were not allowed to dance at pow wows. It was illegal for them to participate. This is not only heartwarming, but an act of defiance against the ongoing oppression and genocide sanctioned by the Canadian government.

Personal space? Nope - never heard of it.

Is that…… them

i love how this works no matter the result

4. If the car pulls up to you run in the opposite direction.

5. Walk with your keys in your hands and keep a key between each finger

6. If they put you in the trunk kick out the headlights

7. If you get lost find a woman with a child. Never ask a man for help (this one was drilled)

That scream fire piece of advice is literally life saving

8. Watch your shadows and reflections, especially if someone is walking behind you. A split second notice is better than none and will help you.

Yes this last one really saves lives y'all I do it all the time

girls have to learn to view the world like international intelligence agents just to be safe walking down the street. smh.

guys pls pls pls reblog and girls pls pls pls be safe out there. terrifying and so sad that we have to worry about this on a daily basis

(I’m an enby, but, frankly, this is helpful for anyone.)

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all my problems were caused by this one deficiency

Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet you persevered?

Oh you just needed to come in here and drag me even further to hell

"Run into a cave and break your ankle so that people have to come find you and they see you lying at the bottom of this beautiful cave and maybe there’s a waterfall and the light from the crystals makes you look really beautiful and they say “Are you okay?” and you say “I think so” and they say “oh my God have you been here alone this whole time with a broken ankle” and you say “it’s okay” and they say “you’re so brave” and you are brave and you look so beautiful surrounded by cave crystals and everyone stands over you and says “oh wow” and “you poor beautiful thing” and “I’m so sorry we let you run into the cave but I’m so glad we found you” and let them carry you home and promise to be your best friends forever and that everything’s their fault and also they named the cave after you and you’re prettier than all of your enemies and your enemies all died of jealousy while you were in the cave."

Do you actually care about transmascs or do you just like slapping top scars on fictional twinks and talking about boy pussy

Do you actually care about transfems or do you just like talking about girl cock and throwing around performative 'yass queen's and call people 'mommy' on their transition timelines

Do you actually care about nonbinary people or do you just like talking about 'they/them pussy' and drawing skinny white fem-leaning androgynous people and calling them 'nonbinary'

Before this gets much farther: this isn't a post aimed at cis folk only. being transgender does not prevent you from being transphobic.

people reblogging without this last addition are cowards btw

Once again I’ve become overly conscious over the fact that I’m really just a brain with tendrils controlling a meat mecha😔

Y’all… this dumb joke I made got viral on twitter and pissed of a LOT of right-wing philosophers and fundamentalists yesterday, it’s actually wild.

These are the types of dudes who cry about leftists getting triggered while they literally froth at the mouth at the sight of a meme drawing

I think this might be a masterpiece

I feel like no one's mentioned this yet but Joel seems to be really good at turning himself into not the but of the joke

Like at the start of the neck kisses bit, everyone was just making fun of Joel's slip up and him insisting "I don't kiss people's necks"

But by the end of the stream everyone was groaning when he made the joke and now he's signing books with "neck kisses"

Now with the Etho's obsessed bit, somehow all the hermits are actually making fun of Etho over Joel for being obsessed, even though Joe started this two years ago by wearing Etho's face on his chest

How's he done this?

With shrek magic

omg so we have 1 seeing dog and 1 blind dog and whenever there's a toy they both want, the seeing dog takes it and just...stands very still. immobile. she KNOWS he will try to wrestle it from her but she has figured out that if she does not squeak it, then he will not find it. leading to this.

"god....grant me the strength to not squeak the squeaky toy"

she's being held at gunpoint so much today :(

WHY DID FALSE REBLOG THIS POST I THOUGHT SHE ONLY REBLOGS FANART WHAT

There's no easy way to say it but my Mama passed last night.

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.

i think people have gotten out of the habit of writing characters being untruthful unless they're evil. sometimes people just lie, or they believe and repeat things that aren't true. people just do not and often Can not tell the absolute truth about themselves all the time even during heated and climactic moments. why are you writing everyone being absolutely honest about their feelings!!
