People declaring the Pope should excommunicate Joe Biden for genocide has me like??? Bro...what do you think the Catholic Church was built on...

#Pope Francis did call for a ceasefire and actually used the word ''cease'' even if he used waffly both-sides language #he's also been pretty progressive about recognizing and apologizing for the church's role #in the Canadian First Nation's and Rwandan genocides #but that's still bare minimum #and there was that whole deal with the Catholic Church helping save Jews in the Holocaust #but trying to help the people you helped victimize in the first place shouldn't be counted IMO #certainly doesn't erase centuries of Jewish persecution #xtianty #colonialism #Spanish colonialism #Portuguese colonialism #genocide #genocide Joe #free palestine #knee of huss

#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child #when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me #for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites #while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs #at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books #which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa #anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop #one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me #in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card #tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition #later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned #i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds #but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me #they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes #and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories #which i was always sentimental about as child #from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides #and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns #to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth #parents passed when i was a child #never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness #and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions #and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally #and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost #even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions #but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth #thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

I want to buy a sticker from your shop, but shipping (to Canada) is down as $22 before tax. May I ask why it costs so much to ship a single sticker? Is it Etsy being weird, or does it really cost that much to send an envelope over the border?

I'm not trying to be snarky or passive aggressive or anything, I'm genuinely just kind of befuddled atm.

A fair question honestly! USPS sets the rates for international shipping, and shipping to canada really is about that expensive 😭 I considered sending stickers via envelopes, but 1. if I send them with a stamp (less than $2) they don't have tracking, and etsy Does Not Like That. I gotta send packages with shipping to qualify for star seller, plus it covers your ass in case USPS loses it. and 2. apparently it's illegal to send merchandise internationally in envelopes!! so sadly we're all stuck dealing with the super crazy international rates. I don't like it either because as someone who deals in trinkets, people generally do not want to pay $16 for a charm that costs $12, and they especially don't want to pay that for a sticker that costs $4... I would ABSOLUTELY have way more international sales if USPS wasn't fucking us with the prices but it's out of my control dssdjkfjksdf

I give this advice a lot, but if you don't want to pay international shipping (or just live in a country I don't ship to myself), you can borrow the address of a friend that lives in the states and they can forward it to you! I don't actually know if this is cheaper, but some people have said it is. it's def cheaper for stickers though if your friend uses a stamp!

TL;DR yeah etsy and USPS are Both Weird, sorry ; - ; i assure you i hate it even More than you do lmao

#etsy #not art #ask #anonymous #anon #i think i actually did have like three canadian sticker orders last week all in the same day #one of them ordered multiple stickers but two were just. One. and i'm like. you guys are either rich or crazy but either way i respect it #even US shipping is getting more and more expensive. five years ago i'd pay 2.80 to ship a 1 oz first class package #now its almost $4. even just over $4 if i ship to like California or something!#i'm gonna put a general PSA here to please not be too upset with small businesses' shipping rates even in the US #not to imply anon is or that anybody has said anything! but i do see like tiktoks and social media comments #on Other People's Pages saying like OMG $5 SHIPPING??? INSANE I'M NOT PAYING THAT #amazon has spoiled you guys sorry. shipping isn't free. not only do i have to pay for the shipping label #i have to pay for my bubble mailers. my envelopes. the thermal labels i print on. i recycle my bubble wrap at least but i have to pay #for materials as well. so this seems like a good place to mention it #frankly i shouldn't even have the stupid 'free shipping over $35' thing because again shipping is like $4 give or take 30c by location #but etsy makes me and it Does bring in sales so i'll pretend it balances out

Being into hockey in Canada like,

when we win: yay! this is fun!

when we lose: good god I hope those kids (read anywhere from 15 to 27ish) have good support systems. And maybe therapists. And somebody to give them a hug & tell them they're worthy regardless of the outcome of a game any game & not let any media or immature sports fans near them. My heart is crushed thinking about their hearts being crushed. And that age it's so hard to handle things to begin with. And they have such a crazy weight on their shoulders on top of that and

#this is about the world juniors #which i didnt even watch tonights game #(in part i was too scared)#but istg if I see another person be mean about a player ill #omg #its just like you guys #thats a KID #and this is a TEAM game #and that includes couches and staff #who truly had more to do with how that team does out there than the team themselves #bc those kids are good hockey players or they wouldnt have been there in the first place #etc etc #idk if people are actually being mean so hopefully this rant is irrelevant #but lets be honest #canadian hockey fans on social media can be soooo ergh #plz just complain to your buddy irl yknow #dont take it to the internet #anyway im crushed for my boys #and i hope the US loses lolol #jkjk #kinda #i dont want to see them cry so maybe like a bronze if they must yknow #i dont want see anyone cry #why do I like this sport #okay im done #i literally didnt even watch it I need to chill #wjc 2025

Hey! I really appreciated your world juniors primer and I hope this isn't rude, but if you're going to mention that a player is Indigenous, it's probably good practice to say what nation they're from! It's an easy mistake and I'm sure you didn't mean any harm by it, especially since you were excited about there being Indigenous players on the roster (I definitely am as well!)

hey anon ! thank you for telling me and informing me. i didn't know about that, but moving forward, i'm going to include it if i mention that about those players.

i'll link a tweet by hockey indigenous here too, as to where i got my information from, but let's highlight some of the indigenous players this year representing their nation at wjc 2025!

first, we have gavin mckenna on team canada representing the Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin First Nation.

next, we have carson bjarnason from canada representing Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation.

and finally, we have casey terrance representing the Akwesasne Mohawk Territory.

#ask #exceptionally important to highlight this as the tournament this year takes place on UNCEDED anishinabe algonquin territory #as the tweet points out #and so it's always good to be respectful #and highlight the importance of different and unique first nations in canadian and american history

Hi guys! I'm so normal!!

#met a beautiful beautiful man this past weekend and i'm genuinely going crazy over it #he has such an aura and he's respectful and beautiful and tall and beautiful and he [redacted screaming cat howl]#i'm never going to see him again and it's soo disappointing cause he was so sweet (and beautiful)#like i know he could definitely hunt down my name. i know what happens when you google me. but idk if he liked me like at all #especially enough to do that #i need to move to specific place in the states. maybe then he'll teach me how to swing dance #but damnnn i really wish bro would ask my friend (who has his number) for my number. cause he's so so beautiful #idk what's going on with me? i was perfectly normal and professional around this guy until a specfic moment in time. and now #i really wish he lived in canada. i even gave him something with my last name on it (it was supposed to be an exchange but i'll forgive it)#and i gave him canadian rockets.#man i just need to wait to be normal #or i need him to get a social media and find me (obviously i figured out his first name and that he doesn't have social media)#but ughdhhshr. he was super nice. i just wish i had the confidence this weekend to genuinely speak to him about non professional things #i will be normal eventually. hopefully (he's so beautiful)#the pasta speaks #thanks i just needed a place to yap about it

my uninformed american opinion is that i will be calling it derry not londonderry because im american and therefore will always support ireland if its ireland vs the british.

(i wasn't even going to post this but i wrote a whole essay in the tags so i don't want to waste that)

#i feel like i'm getting into very controversial waters here idk if i should say any of this #also. what do the actual people that live there call it bc i think that should be the end of it.#i saw on tiktok that the only foreign alliance that could make america turn against the uk would be ireland and i fully agree #(i live in new england. uhm. almost everyone here is irish) (irish american i suppose.)#i could talk about ireland and american relations. maybe i will.#here's my understanding of irish-american relations as someone who has never studied the topic in particular #but does have an interest in american history #first off. yes america is very good allies with the uk but culturally it's like. a bullying sort of thing. leftover resentment from the rev #i'm sure it's somewhat similar to everyone's resentment of america. maybe idk im not european #anyway america is built on underdog stories. thats like the foundation of our national culture. the american dream #and these stories started showing up innnnn .... the mid to late 1800s!!#do you know what also happened in the 1800s?#yup! irish people started fleeing their homeland to a better life (cough cough the americas)#so! in the time when stories about immigrants coming to america (the american dream- the most important part of us culture)#a ton of immigrants were irish! wow. do you see where i'm going with this #anyway about 9.5% of america is irish. which is A Lot (3rd most prominent ancestry)#and here in america bc being an immigrant and coming from immigrants and etc is kinda A Thing here #people typically hang on to their non-american identity #i mean i do. you can catch me talking about being french canadian a lot on tumblr.#another thing! even if you aren't irish american sometimes places r so irish that it kinda. blends into ur identification with a city #cough cough boston. cough cough massachusetts.#anyway . so. to recap #ireland and america share a common sorta not really enemy : the british. also they r the underdog which makes us sympathetic #And a lot of america has irish heritage and bc it's the us there's heritage actually matters (sorta)#and therefore the usa will always like ireland A Lot. or at least the people will.#rereading that i hope it makes sense #once again i am not a scholar and have not studied this topic these are just my inferences and observations #rain feathers talks #i will not be tagging this

also when i was a kid basically the only tv i watched was the rick mercer report. so honestly it tracks that i would’ve become a tom scott fan

#neither of them are the first to do the ‘go to random places and film it’ genre but. yeah. yeah #i know tom definitelyyyy tries hard to avoid political content which rick. uh. did not. loll #but they did both have a comedy aspect to them aside from the ‘going places’ thing as tom had techdif #funny tho. i watched the mercer report end and now ive seen toms channel end.#tom scott #this is such a canadian ass post. sorry. real ones know rmr! best job in the country!#aww and now im thinking about stuart mclean… i witnessed the end of the vinyl cafe too…..#well. hes not that relevant here but rick mercer and stuart mclean TO ME have similar vibes #i remember someone on the radio saying ‘rick mercer has the best job in the country but i have the second best’ and it mightve been mclean?

Who here has read The Invisible Library? 👀 I'm still in the beginning but it's CRAZY; there was just a steam-powered robot centipede attack in the middle of a city, but a heroic detective fought it off with an electro-sword (that was disguised as a cane up until that point), and when they were done (after some banter between the dastardly villain and the detective), everyone just sat back down to resume their dinner.

Plus, this was really funny:

😳

#plus when they first arrived in the world and the new guy said something out-of-place so the heroine was like 'Excuse him he's Canadian'#The Invisible Library #Invisible Library #books #diary post~

trying to navigate colonizer guilt to a privileged person of colour was not something I was trained for and I think there should be a crash course or something holy jesus

#“it's easier for you to donate to Palestine and stay informed because you're white” uhmmm #I know for a fact you could easily send over $30 and forget about it the very next day but erm #“its different for me because I am first generation canadian”#fun fact so were the first white people who came here. so are all the white europeans who still come here #my dad is first generation canadian #I know it's not that simple Obviously but to use it as a shield or justification for passivity and inaction in every. single. conversation.#barking barking barking #“I don't want to think about it because I want to set roots and I don't want to feel guilty for living in this country/on indigenous land”#cool!! so do I! so does everyone. navigating that and learning how to live in ways that reduce harm is The Whole Point of this conversation #in the first place #but yeah no I shouldn't encourage people to attend protests or stay informed because well.#y'know the whole reason I do it is because im white. and it's just so easy and simple and requires no research or energy #its not because I care. or anything

Wip! be the change you want in the world make the content u want to see (omnic crisis bonds and friendship, these three having a drink between assignments and getting a little sillaayy. Not pictured, Torbjorn and Dr Liao squabbling over some hypothetical)

#sojourn #gabriel reyes #jack morrison #vivian chase #listened to her audiobook and I feel INSANE #I’m having trouble placing a lot of the chronological events of overwatch #and like. the book didn’t mention gabe ONCE even tho he and Jack met during the omnic crisis and this book covers it’s first day until they #get some control over Canadian spaces by taking down the omnium #BUT they both went thru the soldier program right. so idk why they didn’t meet sooner.#I think my missing piece is how many years was it between omnic crisis #the conception of overwatch. jacks promotion. omnic accords (?). peacetime/unrest.#like I’m just not connecting the dots #was amelie already widowmaker when retribution happened?#I need a timeline

Let me go back to using Tory Lanes vs the State of California decide if i need to cut a nigga off or not, that was a good measure. Cause nigga what is your stance?? Come again??

I ain’t afraid to dump a man because he hates himself by hating black women

same if he also was the type of guy that would be a part of the January 6th insurrection

#Fuck Tory Lanez.#Fuck Kelsey Nicole.#Fuck LeBron James.#Fuck Drake.#Fuck Dj WHACKademiks.#Fuck Joe Budden.#Fuck all the nameless #faceless fuck boys #and fuck the despicable hoes #that spoke down on Megan Thee Stallion.#Megan still won.#InHerWords #Oh and fuck those who don’t believe a victim of abuse the first freaking time!#❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#This whole case had me changing my opinions and views(at least for the moment)#celebrating the police and the system #being xenophobic towards Canadian people #posting stories with reader plus white celebrities with fluffy or smutty material #nearly being racist towards black men #saying that some of them nigcels deserved to be another hashtag #and backing the death penalty.#megan thee stallion #i’m not sad for her #i’m outraged #i’m just glad she’s in a better place now #those people can speak for themselves they know who they are #and they can go straight to hell #they will pay for their crimes #for sucking that abusers meat #Instagram
