Milestone Monday

Happy World Kindness Day! Observed annually on November 13th, World Kindness Day encourages us to set aside our differences and focus on recognizing and participating in good deeds and kindness throughout our communities. In recognition of the day, we are sharing You Hold Me Up Gimanaadenim written in English by Cree author Monique Gray Smith with illustrations by Canadian First Nations author and artist Danielle Daniel, and translated to Anishinaabemowin by two UW-Milwaukee-associated Ojibwe-language specialists Angela Mesic and Margaret Noodin. 

While You Hold Me Up Gimanaadenim was written to inspire children to show each other love and support, the lessons are applicable at any stage in life. Gray Smith writes that the book was written in the “spirit of Reconciliation”, coupled with Daniel’s vibrant illustrations it successfully demonstrates how to be more empathetic and build loving relationships.  

You Hold Me Up was published in English in 2017 and met with many accolades including the 2017 American Indians in Children’s Literature Best Books award and 2018 Global Read Aloud award. It went on to be translated to Anishinaabemowin in 2021. Both versions were published by Orca Book Publishers out of British Columbia who notes that the translation “has been done according to more western conventions used by speakers of Anishinaabemowin. . . and matches the lexicon found in the Ojibwe People’s Dictionary.”

"How can you like these very toxic and horrible characters that have done despicable and unforgivable things?" oh it's quite simple actually, this is fiction and I think with my dick.

since spotify wrapped is coming today i just want to bring awareness to the fact that around 86% of the songs on spotify are currently demonetized since spotify decided that tracks with under 1,000 cannot be monetized. not only that the ceo of spotify cashed out $35.8 million dollars in spotify shares in the third quarter of the year and it has been reported that he earns more than the top artists on the platform.

for a platform that claims to support artists, this is outrageous and i hope people realize that an artist who is starting out, cannot make a living out of spotify streams simply because daniel ek and his friends made it worse for the artists trying to start a career. if you wanna support musicians and the possibility for them to get a living wage please follow United Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) which are trying to make The Living Wage for Musicians Act a reality so musicians can be paid fairly through streaming platforms and get the cut they deserve.

daniel molloy character of all time once again: like imagine you’re a 20-something drug addict and a terrible journalist on account of being 20-something and a drug addict and you randomly meet a vampire at a gay bar and you think wow I might get drugs, gay sex and a story out of this and instead what you get is psychologically and physically tortured by his husband and your memories of it all erased and then 50 years later you’re DYING and those vampires show up in your life again to ask you to write the story of their happy marriage and your memory might be fucked but ON GOD you WILL ruin that marriage if it’s the last thing you do. and then not only do you succeed and walk out of it alive, but also with a bestseller, millions in your bank account AND immortality AND the knowledge that your annoying human ass was somehow the one thing that made that 500+ year old predator so mad that he broke his lifetime vow to never turn anyone. AND, on top of that, you’re out of the CLOSET.
