eve of election reread because im fairly sure this went entirely over my head when i read it when i was like 13 and i have no idea what the thesis was supposed to be. no doubt it will be tinged by the weird nationalist culture that was prevalent in the 00s but intrigued nevertheless

#a real babys first canadian studies book if there ever was one #glancing at the title chapters it looks fairly surface level lol. but theres really only so much to say about this place sometimes

i know most of the politics on this show haven’t made sense since they ran out of source material from the book but what in fresh hell is going on with foreign relations in gilead lore

#why is there an embassy in canada dawg gilead is classified as a rogue state #it’s one thing to have calls mediated between the canadian ambassador and lawrence and it’s another to do whatever they’re doing rn #i still do not think the gilead coup made sense in the first place but whatever #in what fucking world do you take out the entirely of congress before you kill the president lol #the handmaid's tale

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

Crashed out about the Prime Minister calling a snap election in the reblogs and ended up getting blocked LMAOOO

#if op on that post ever sees this no i was not suggesting that candian imperialism could be solved w an election???#that would be super weird and also just wrong?????#was trying to point out that canadians have an insane amount of apathy towards the injustices their own gov commits and has committed #which is SHOWCASED by the lack of investment in our elections #but that's like a small example of a much wider issue within the country #and that apathy is what leads to people giving up on politics and what will screw us with another shitty prime minister #also if anyone else thinks i'm overreacting i only know abt it cause i got an email abt them replying to my reblog #which in fairness was worded in a way where i see how the misinterpretation happened #but then i found multiple posts on their account abt me and also a comment on the post abt me #and got called a liberal when i'm just not one... can we pls stop assuming we know what ppl r talking abt #could have messaged me to clarify could have given me time to clear it up but instead talked shit and THEN blocked me like no #either u block and move on or talk shit abt someone cmon doing both is just unnecessarily rude #plus as mentioned was going on abt elections in the first place cause i found out abt the snap federal election like ten minutes before #i reblogged it so yk. wasn't exactly in a great headspace #like canada is a settler colony yes and this goes unacknowledged by the ppl who live there #who then brush off the things the country has done in the past (for eg. residential schools) bc we're not the states #so surely not that bad bc we're not as bad as the states #and my point was that we r that bad (and have been that bad always which is where i think #the minsinterpretation happened?) and if ppl don't acknowledge that the issues r systemic and actually take action #thru voting sure (eg i used) but thru protests and any other means possible too #bc if we don't work to actually fight back against the system (and fight outside the system and fight for it to be done w entirely)#then we're never gonna grow as a country out of being that imperial colony (which granted may not be possible w the way the system's set up #bc we've already seen this mentality cost so many people before and we're seeing it still affect the way we talk abt politics in the countr #w ppl brushing off the atrocities the canadian gov STILL COMMITES bc at least we're not the states right #but that mentality is gonna screw everyone over #damn that was a long rant feel free to ignore this guys #and if ur op on that post then don't reply to my post and then block me and talk shit abt me in hyper specificly worded posts!#(they also were wondering if i meant it in a bad way before and posted about that but didn't think to... ask? cmon)#(like worst comes to worst i would have been a boot licker and could have been blocked anyway but if u don't know if someone's being a shit #asking for clarification is literally so easy and could have been done publicly or privately but no)

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

I wasn't prepared for how wanting a hug from a friend that's thousands of miles away would feel like a stab in the chest. They don't tell you that shit hurts and you can't do anything about it

#light vent #personal rant #vent except its mostly in the tags #vent #dare i say i wanna feel *safe*. dare i say i wanna be *warm*#who else out here yearning to be loved like you're truly worth something #there was a time when I was little that i wouldnt fall asleep unless i was bein held. cant go back to that without rlly having someone there #they don't tell you how isolating it is to only be able to hold friendships online. I think there's just something wrong with me #I dont get to feel warm and loved and safe irl. i cant remember the last time i did #i should be able to walk into my friends rooms and annoy them bc we know no ones really angry. BUT NO. other side of the country or canadian #i should be able to show them reels in a silent room where we laugh every so often but it's quiet otherwise #I should be able to give them random rocks I find but no #and i hate knowing im one of the only people who cant seem to hold a friendship irl. i wanna know whats wrong with me so ppl dont leave irl #what is so wrong with me that i cant love correctly? why cant i say i love you back? why does my chest tighten and i get scared? why why #its not fair?? theres gotta be something wrong with me for ppl to not like me irl i text first im nice i engage in their interests i help em #what am i missing?? we hang out for so long then BOOM ghosted. they were so cool and fun but no matter how many times i did anythin. NOTHING #i cant even say it's because i didnt get a cue or anything because they were autistic/adhd/disabled too. i didnt do anything mean did i?#i feel like im missing something that makes people human or something because i never know what i did and no one ever says i did anything #am i doing something wrong? do i like things wrong? do i love wrong? do i laugh wrong or smile wrong or talk wrong I DONT UNDERSTAND #the only place i feel safe and loved is with my friends online. they're *safe*. I'm not scared to laugh or talk. I feel at home with em #i havent felt at home in a while. they're all *home* to me. im glad y'all convinced me to make a server.

when I beat my racist high school bully out for valedictorian, it didn't end racism. but it still felt fucking good. i know not a single player on team canada care about me and my community. and know team canada winning didn't end fascism but it felt fucking good. and at the VERY least that man won't be able to use the outcome as a propaganda piece. you're right it is a moral victory. but it's better than a fucking loss.

i'm glad you can feel better for five minutes, and i am genuinely glad the trolling online from clownish republicans will stop about hockey at least (minus sarah palin who genuinely likes hockey apparently), bc they never actually cared about anything but stirring the pot. which worked tremendously well lol.

on the exact same hand, i think americans that enjoy hockey going through a tough time right now would have enjoyed a win too so. like have your fun.. i'm not mad at that outcome by any stretch of the imagination, but the second stupid shit like it's OUR sport in all sincerity and and blah blah creeps in, it sounds stupid and nationalist... esp the more removed we get from the moment.

#easks #like the ultra lib shit... sounds just like american liberals lkFJDSKL which last night seeing ppl meme in the moment n rt all trudeaus shi #like i get the sentiment and respect it esp in the moment when ur riding the adrenaline of what just happened #i was quite literally up til 3am kflsjd having fun abt it last night. but again its not really... representative of much seriously #and i can think the sheeeer intensity and insistence of it is a bit dumb and u wont die bc of my opinion #also i have seen plenty of ppl act like these guys DO represent them so like. if thats not u.. then the posts arent abt u. clearly lollolol #like actually 2 worst uncle fanbases fight no matter who won that game so on a surface level..#the most annoying canadian trolls are being as annoying as expected #just like the most annoying american ones would have been... and none of it would have changed the reality klFJDSKLZ #tis nice to see trump lovers punished but oh some still got to celebrate so like JLKFJDSLKZ #anyway memes and shit today are funny fkljdsa and fine idgaf its sports in that way #i just still think that brought out the most ludicrous absolutist takes from some folks #also like..... it didnt save u. fkljsdklf #it didnt make threats any more or less credible.. thats the thing abt trump bro #and if the threats of annexation never escalate... its bc they werent serious in the first place. a thing none of us can gauge w that man #not bc u won a hockey game and turned the tides of ur political future LKFJDSKLF LIKE THATS NOTTT #narrative lover in me gets it but that is just not the case

honestly at this point i think i'm kind of over yank lit. i really don't need to read yet another book set in new york or LA or what fucking ever. i don't give a shit about the latest historical fiction featuring abraham lincoln. i'm sick to death of that fuckass country and i don't even want to read about it anymore. i'm going to enjoy the literature offered by the rest of the world, and focus especially on reading canadian books and supporting canadian authors 🍁

#and australian but that's easier and happens naturally since i live here #i've already started moby dick so i'll see it through #(and tbh would never have been interested in the first place if it weren't set mainly in the middle of the ocean)#but other than that i'm not touching anything yank-related in 2025 #i just need a fucking break #cancon #canadian literature #canadian #canada #books #musings #sylvie's own

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

so it appears caffeine may be a spiritual necessity for me on Sundays

#had some this morning bc I knew I'd need the boost to be brave enough to approach Canadian Organist in the first place #then proceeded to have two other conversations over the course of the morning before i even got to him #idk what that particular drink unlocks in my brain but it makes the words come so much better lol

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
