is ghostface hamzah coming out soon? 💕

"all yours, sweetheart."

ghostface! hamzah x reader

description: hamzah had always been a sweetheart; flowers were always on the table, kisses were always exchanged, and love was always in the air of your abode. however, behind the sweetheart that you know and love, there's a much more sinister version that comes out at night.

mentions: nsfw!, a mix of degrating and praise, power kink..?, knife play..???, angst, blood, violence/murder (in a vigilante way since i rly doubt that hamzah would just be a cold blooded killer if he had to be one), hamzah's a little insane but so is the reader lowk, rape is mentioned once on the television from the news channel

hamzah was, and is, the perfect man.

you didn't know how to describe the way he treated you, yet, you knew that you had never been treated so well before. emotionally, he was always so supportive of you, as if he was the foundation of your passions, hobbies, and talents. throughout the long nights of being a college student, he was owl through the night, staying up with you as you did your essay by matching the energy you gave off and editing. if you were burnt out from working and studying, baths were run, completed with scented candles, snacks, and your favorite show. he knew exactly what you needed, whenever you needed it.

if you wanted anything of material origins, his card was yours. no matter how expensive anything you wanted was, he'd always find a way to give it to you, whether it was posting more or finding a side gig with his knowledge on technology. in fact, whenever you went out to grab food with friends or family, he insisted that you could use his card. hamzah trusted you with his life, so his credit card number was entered into your notes and virtual wallet. you never abused his money, in fact you still ran everything by him whenever you used his card; to which, he'd kiss you or pull you into a side hug and say, "of course, baby," in a voice softer than the clouds.

physically, hamzah knew how to please you. each night that you were pent up out of frustration or stress from the amount of work your professors gave you, hamzah worked his hands, hips, and tongue like a god. he left you shaking, panting, and begging for more as he somehow knew exactly what felt good for you or not. overall, he put your pleasure first in every single way.

so, you decided to give back to him tonight. he didn't do anything out of the usual, such as flowers on the table and cuddles in the morning before he has to work. you simply felt like giving back and rewarding him for how amazing of a boyfriend he was.

you were currently dolled up with the makeup that you remembered he likes; not too much so that you look completely different, but just enough to enhance the features that he fell in love with. though you were fully clothed, black, lacy lingerie adorned the curves and body that he worshipped. currently, you were making dinner: a pasta and chicken cutlet recipe that he said he'd marry you for the first time you made it for him. the air was cold with a breeze from the open window in front of you as you washed the remaining dishes. hamzah was coming home soon from working with martin and you wanted the place to be spotless, since you knew he'd insist on washing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen after you cooked if it wasn't. the tv was on the news channel, yet, the new report that was currently live caught your attention. you listened from afar.

"channel 9, here, and this is theresa bell with breaking news about a killer on the loose."

your head turned towards the tv, brows furrowed in confusion. the area you and hamzah lived in was always safe, so news like this was shocking.

"local police departments have recently investigated a string of ominous murders in york, ontario. the victims, whose identities will not be released yet to the public to respect their families, were all wealthy males in the area. i have roger martel at the scene of the latest slaying, happening around twenty minutes ago on 15th street and houston. how is it over there, roger?"

the camera switched to a man in the city, seemingly freezing and focused.

"it is not good over here, theresa. local police are saying that the common string behind all three victims are that they were involved in scandals, such as infidelity, scamming, and even rape charges. i don't know about you, theresa, but it's possible that a vigilante is uprising in the streets of york, taking out rich, wealthy, and morally wrong criminals-"

you switched off the tv, slightly spooked about the resent spike in violence. you decided to text hamzah out of anxiety and fear.

you

9:04 pm | i just saw the news about the murders thats actually crazy af

you

9:06 pm | dont be out too late

9:06 pm | love u <3

hamzah :O

9:05 pm | I lov u 2 pretty woman <3

about thirty minutes passed and you heard keys in the door handle, indicating that hamzah was home. getting up from the couch, you switched off the show that you were watching and walked towards the front door. red and blue were already meowing towards their father, rubbing themselves on his calves and feet. looking up at him, he gave you a charming smile and kissed you on the forehead as he engulfed you in a strong and secure hug. you noticed that he was carrying a seemingly heavy duffel bag.

"jeez, what'd you bring to martin's?" you chuckled.

he laughed, scratching his neck, "y'know.. just some props for the video we were filming."

your hand snaked higher onto his neck, rubbing his hand with your own. with slow movements, your lips found its way to his neck, kissing it softly, then biting it and sucking slightly. a small shiver exited his body at the mere wetness of your tongue.

"what's this for?"

you moved away from his neck, now looking up at him from in front of him.

"you're just such a good boyfriend.. thought i should repay you for how amazing you are."

your lips found its way to his, slightly opening to make room for your tongues to swirl together for mere moments. his big hands made it to your waist, as your hands made its way to his cheek and neck. you let go of his mouth, watching his lips chase after yours for a little. you laughed at how cute the moment was; how pure he was.

"i made the pasta you like while you were gone."

"the orange one?"

"mhm."

"oh my god- i have to tell you about the video i just filmed while we eat."

dinner was filled with meaningful conversations, inside jokes, and the scarfing down of the food you had just made. currently, hamzah was feeding red and blue with brown bits of kibble from the big bag in the pantry, crouched over stainless steel food bowls on the floor besides the front porch. you, on the other hand, decided to do the laundry. you knew that he enjoyed taking the time to feed his cats and play with them after a long day of being out.

you were about to start the washing machine, however, the duffel bag he carried seemed like it had clothes in it from the way it barely crumpled in on itself. it didn't seem too heavy, however, your boyfriend wasn't necessarily a weak man. you walked towards the bag in the hallway, picking it up by its handles. taking it into the laundry room, you opened it with a puzzled expression.

inside the bag was a long, midnight black robe. oddly, you felt a wetness excreting it with every subtle touch; whatever was making this dampened, the cloak was soaked in it. putting the fabric back into the bag and looking down at your palms, a shiver ran through the back of your spine as if ice was shot down your shirt.

your hand was now red with a slightly slimy, thin liquid.

telling yourself not to panic and that this was probably fake blood from a youtube video, doubt began to fill your mindset. the first thing that offputted you was the fact that it had a stench: a slightly metallic, copper like odor. ghostlike, the crimson substance on your hands were translucent with only a hint of opaqueness.

hamzah was a good person; the kind of man who carries you if you're simply too tired or lazy to walk. you trusted him.

however, unless the video he just filmed was butchering meat to make some sort of cooking channel, a pit grew in your stomach. the mere thought of it being anything else made you absolutely sick to your stomach. however, you shrugged it off as being paranoid because of the news channel from earlier, as you were easily spooked.

moving the robe out of the way, a mask appeared in the bag alongside it. its features were hauntingly creepy; a long, oval and screaming-esque mouth adorned the plastic with two black, colorness holes for eyes. it was white, however, stained slightly pink with splotches of the same liquid accessorizing it. you stood in fear and confusion; what was he doing behind your back?

"have you seen my duffel bag?" you heard him yell from afar.

"uh- no! i haven't!" you retorted, quickly shoving the clothes back into the bag and placing it back to where it was, then walking with a sense of urgency back to the laundry room.

he passed by the door as you opened the washing machine door, quickly wiping your hands on the singular towel inside. a bead of sweat dripped down your face as your hands shook as they attempted to press the buttons to start it.

"found it!" he yelled from afar, a couple minutes before he came into the laundry room where he found you with an odd expression on your face.

"you alright?"

"huh? oh, yeah i'm fine. it's just a little- it's hot in here," you mentioned, wiping the bead of sweat off of your forehead.

your emotions of fear didn't subside by the time that he was fast asleep beside you. even after trying to relax, which consisted of using extra time on your skincare while a comedy played in the background, you still felt fear within your soul with each conversation he had with you.

the room was dark, only being illuminated by the nightlight on the nightstand beside you. with each rustle of the wind and trees, or each raccoon that snuck into a person's garbage can, you bit back a scream of terror. every little thing was freaking you out, almost as if there was a ghost tormenting your every move with anxiety and fear; as if he was the ghost that was haunting you.

you knew that curiousity killed the cat. you knew you should simply let go of it because the reason behind your findings probably isn't what you think it's because. it was a mere coincidence. it was a mere coincidence that he happened to be out when that man was murdered. it was a mere coincidence that he returned home with blood-stained clothes and a peculiar disguise. it was a mere coincidence that the two happened on the same night, around the same time. maybe, what you saw wasn't what you actually saw. you decided to find out for yourself. he was asleep, anyways.

getting up and making the most minimal amount of noise possible, you made your way back to the bag that he moved into your closet. the zipper was almost as loud as your heart rattling inside of your chest as you unzipped the bag, revealing the same sight as before. black is always black, no matter what color the substance is that stains it. you took a chance and pressed your hand onto the polyester, revealing a carbon copy of the same sight, and emotions, you felt while you were doing laundry. you felt the gut feeling sink into you like it was plunging into a mattress that was too soft.

"are you afraid of me now?"

you turned around, a shiver rushing up your spine once again, being met with the man that the bag of bloody clothes belonged to. you were too fearful to speak, let alone move. yet, you took into account his words: are you afraid of him now?

"no- no, of course not. why would i- i'm not afraid of you- not at all-"

he approached you with caution in his demeanor, "what do you think i did?"

"i don't know-"

his hand made its way to your cheek, rubbing it tenderly, "i think you do."

"hamzah, what did you do?" you asked, hesitant and fearful.

"i got home before you think i did, sweetheart," he mentioned with an eerie calmness in his voice, "what were you watching on tv?"

your breathing got deeper as his eyes looked down at you, waiting for a response that you were struggling to get out. his other hand found its way to your waist, snaking around it as if it was there forever.

"hm? are you gonna answer my question?"

you softened slightly at his touch, followed by a jolt of alertness, "i was watching the news."

"what'd you see on the news, baby?"

"the murders- i saw the murders, the ones in the city."

"now tell me," his grip tightened on your waist, "are you afraid of me, now?"

"i can't answer that."

"you think i'd hurt you?"

you looked into his eyes with vulnerability plastered in your vision, "would you?"

he leaned down slowly before kissing your lips with a delicateness and softness that foiled the situation at hand. pulling away, he looked at you with pure adoration and fulfillment in his eyes, as you looked at him with a sense of susceptibility.

"no, baby. no, i wouldn't. do you trust me?"

"i don't-" you spoke out your thoughts to yourself as you realized that you were still slightly afraid, "i don't know."

the smirk on his face turned from soft to mischivious, almost like seeing him mid possession. you felt the warmth in his eyes slightly dissolve. only a shimmering glint of love and adoration was visible in his now, somehow, alluring and yearning eyes. you were a toy in his line of sight, as he was a collector wanting more and craving the mere thought of unpackaging and unboxing of a fresh set. a switch in him flipped: something more awakened, something more primal, something out of control.

"y'know, this is why i didn't want you to find out," he backed you into the wall behind you, "i knew you'd be too weak. i'm sorry- so sorry, my poor baby- so scared of me now. "

you never thought that you'd be mocked as if you were a deer in headlights by the same man that would kiss your injuries whenever you even bumped your hand somewhere; though, you also never thought the same man was capable of murder. hamzah was being cocky and scary. hamzah was being mean; he was being mean and, somehow, you liked it. however, a side of you wanted to prove him wrong. you didn't know if you should be afraid of him or not. while he killed people, you never thought he'd hurt you before the news came out of him being a murderer. so, as prey does when it's being hunted, you attempted to fight back.

"i'm not scared of you, hamzah."

"is that so?"

"you wouldn't hurt me."

taking his hand off of your waist, you watched him reach into his pocket, taking out a pocket-knife and flicking it upwards in a swift motion. the sight of it caused your blood to turn cold. were you going to die at the mercy of the one you loved? something about it seemed off. though you were attempting to fight back, you felt as if there was some truth to those words. all the messages, touches, and conversations spoken by him wouldn't have led to him also killing you. it was, quite literally, impossible for him to be the reason behind your death.

you watched as he got on his knees in front of you, looking up at you with a simultaneous mix of pleading and demanding eyes.

"take off your clothes, pretty."

you removed his t-shirt, revealing the lingerie you prepared for him earlier. you watched as his eyes shifted, watching you undress in front of him and realizing the surprise you had mentioned during dinner. you watched his breathing get heavier and heavier with the longer he stared at your curves; you watched him pant as he watched his girl reveal herself to him.

"do you trust me?" he asked, pleading.

"do whatever you want to me. i'm all yours, sweetheart."

taking the knife, he lightly grazed it onto the skin of your thighs with a touch so light that it didn't leave a single mark. taking his time, he chased after the knife with kisses, bites, and hickeys throughout your body, like a cat chasing a mouse. soft gasps echoed throughout the room from your surprise perversion; who knew that something so scary could also be so hot?

taking the knife, he cut the fabric off of your body and watched it fall onto the floor. the lace was now damaged, as well as the overall shape of it. however, somehow that was the least of your worries; in fact, it turned you on even more. naked and aroused, you locked eye contact with him from above him as he kissed your thighs, stomach, and hips with a softness that contradicted all of his actions throughout the night.

"you do trust me," he stated.

"of course i do, hamzah."

"fuck, i love you."

dropping the knife onto the floor and kicking it below the dresser drawer, he rushed to suck onto your neck like a vampire latching onto his victim. you felt his tongue swirl onto your neck as if you were a lollipop waiting to be licked. he moved up to your jaw, then your cheek, moving slowly towards your mouth. his tongue found its way to yours, dancing in harmony with each other: a familiar taste and ritual that you have done with him many times. he only let go for mere moments to instruct you on the next move.

"jump."

his hands caught your thighs simultaneously as your strattled his waist. your back was still to the wall, being pushed farther into it as your kiss deepened. your hands made it down to his pants, pushing them down and revealing him in his boxers. similar to his actions earlier, you let go to pull his shirt above his head and off of him completely, leaving him in boxers. you tugged at them, moving them as far downwards as they could go from your position, to his knees.

"fuck me," you demanded.

your language startled him slightly; you had never been so vulgar, especially in bed before. you weren't a saint; obviously, he'd heard you curse numerous times during exam season and when telling him stories of people at your work. however, they were never directed towards him before. you felt him immediately get hard at your words.

"yeah? you want that?"

"fuck me- baby, please," you begged and pleaded, "i need it. i need it so bad- so fucking bad."

"can you take it, sweetheart?"

"yes- yes, i can take it. please, just fuck me already- please."

wasting no time, he inserted himself into you without leaving any second for you to adjust. you felt him inside of you so deeply that you saw stars with each stroke; hamzah had always pleasured you with bliss, however, this time had you begging for your life. his strokes got sloppier and sloppier as time went on, the sound of skin slapping together and moans echoed throughout the room.

at one point, you even screamed screams of pleasure; specifically, screams of his name that made him go even more insane than he already was. with no warning, he felt you clench onto him in a pulsing motion. he made you finish within mere minutes. though he felt you clench onto him, he kept on going at the same pace, fast and rough, until you felt him release inside of you.

he carried you to your bed before you both laid there, sweaty and panting. you noticed that he was zoned out, fixated on the ceiling with a worried expression on his face.

"what's wrong?"

"huh?"

you came closer to him, reassuringly putting his head on your chest, "you seem out of it, baby, what's on your mind?"

"they were bad people," he admitted as you stroked his cheek, "rapists, sex traffickers, scammers. i only killed them because they weren't doing any good in the world."

"if you knew they were horrible human beings, why do you seem upset over it?"

he looked up into your eyes with truth and mesmerization, "i don't want you to think of me any different. i don't want you to leave me."

kissing his forehead, you reciprocated the look he gave you, "they were bad people. i feel like you're doing the good in the world by getting rid of them. i know it's unethical, but sometimes the solutions to certain problems are."

"you were afraid of me."

"but i'm not anymore. now, i know why you did what you did."

"i thought you'd think i was crazy."

"you are."

"ouch," he gasped, fake offended.

"i won't be mad as long as you promise me one thing. one thing is all i ask for."

"anything. what is it, sweetheart?"

"don't get caught."

authors note!

Making Change [david/patrick, G, 1,543] by @grapehyasynth

It’s only when he’s bundled the dirty laundry into three different machines and pulled out a ten dollar note he’d taken out of his dad’s wallet when he realizes he might have a problem. The thing only takes quarters. Or, David and Patrick meet at the Schitt's Creek Laundromat

right where you left me [david/patrick, T, 1,200] by patrickbrewer

Alexis is coming back to visit Schitt’s Creek for the first time since she moved away, and David has spent the past week readying the already-pristine house and guest room for her arrival. Of course they’ve facetimed and talked a lot in the space between, but now she’s so busy and extremely successful that David is lucky if he catches her on the phone more than once a week. Which is obviously what brought him to the whole not-drinking-all-day thing. The absolute last thing he needs right now is another oopsy daisy.

Valentine's Week [david/patrick, E, 29,082] by @pine67

The store is buzzing with energy. Everyday is a successful day and the two lovebirds are either working themselves to the ground or fucking themselves into the ground. And so, they don’t actually get around to booking their cruise trip until that weekend. David is going through his bedtime skincare routine in the en-suite with the door open when Patrick mutters a thick and enunciated, “Fuck.” “What is it?” David turns around slowly, massaging the under eye jelly mask into his skin while walking cautiously to the bed. Patrick is sitting cross legged over the covers with his laptop in one hand and tickets in the other. “It’s not a Valentine’s Day cruise for couples, David. It’s a singles week. All the activities are ice breakers and random blind dates and- it’s just that. It’s not for us.”

2022

don't you ever question my love for you [david/patrick, T, 5,243] by lucianowriter

When Twyla asks Patrick to help her cousin out with some queer questions they have it sends Patrick on a spiral. The thoughts and feelings he'd been pushing down for some time bubble to the surface. Will he find answers in conversation with his best friend and his husband?

Stuck in Traffic [david/patrick, T, 2,425] by @chelle-68

David is an account executive at a television station and doesn’t understand why Patrick in traffic hates him so much. Will they ever get along?

The Promise of a Coming Day [david/patrick, G, 1,726] by @fictasticvoyage

Captain Brewer hires David Rose as his first mate on his charter boat. They flirt, it's cute, they go on an amazing first date, they kiss.

The Window to Your Soul [david/patrick, G, 516] by @a-noble-dragon

Caramel coloured eyes, that was what first drew David's attention.

David never knew that whispers could be so loud until they were about him.

Ontario Home is a minimal house located in Ontario, Canada, designd by Studio Brocca. Light streams through the soaring windows of this Vaughan residence, casting long shadows across a slab of green-veined marble – a material choice that preceded even the home’s foundation. This prescient selection speaks volumes about the project’s seamless fusion of Italian sensibility with contemporary Canadian design, where every element serves as a bridge between two continents and sensibilities.

Back in October, Timmermans Legends of Flight, a privately-owned vintage warbird collection belonging to Peter and Annie Timmermans, announced the acquisition of a Nakajima-built A6M2 Model 21 Zero through Platinum Fighter Sales. This historic aircraft, s/n 1498, is now part of their growing collection, based at Chatham-Kent Airport in Ontario, Canada.

FG-1D Corsair BuNo 92050: A Storied History

Accepted by the U.S. Navy on May 12, 145, FG-1D Corsair BuNo 92050, had a dynamic post-war history. Initially assigned to naval reserve squadrons across the U.S., the aircraft was retired from service in 1954 with 1,491 flight hours. It was sold to a civilian in 1958 for $259 and passed through several owners. In the 1960s, it underwent racing modifications, including engine and structural changes, but saw limited success on the air racing circuit.

By the 1970s, it was stored in Colorado, where it remained until being loaned to the Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum in 1999. In 2012, the Warbird Heritage Foundation (WHF) acquired the aircraft and began a meticulous restoration at Tab Air, Ltd. in Wisconsin. The restoration took nearly a decade, focusing on airworthiness while preserving some modifications. The aircraft was finished in a paint scheme honoring NAS Glenview and the Great Lakes training carriers Wolverine and Sable, which played a vital role in World War II carrier pilot training. In 2021, the Corsair flew its first post-restoration flight and has since been displayed at airshows, delighting enthusiasts. Its story highlights its naval history and the contributions of training carriers in preparing pilots for combat during WWII. Stephen Chapis wrote a fascinating article detailing the history of this aircraft, which you can read HERE.

A New Chapter in Canadian Skies

Congratulations to Timmermans Legends of Flight for this significant acquisition. This historic Corsair joins an impressive fleet and will undoubtedly captivate warbird enthusiasts when it takes to the Canadian skies. We look forward to seeing FG-1D BuNo 92050 continue its storied journey and inspire future generations with its remarkable history.

The committee has attempted to impose more severe criminal charges against individuals involved in peaceful protests since Oct. 7, or thwart the dropping of charges, multiple lawyers told The Breach.

Known as the Hate Crime Working Group and formed in 2019, it is composed of nearly two dozen Crown prosecutors, some of whose public comments show pro-Israel and anti-Palestinian bias.

The committee’s chair has said she is “committed” to the state of Israel, while another member described a pro-Palestinian activist as a “terrorist” and collaborated with a group of lawyers that aggressively defend Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has killed 38,000 Palestinians.

In one case from 2021, involving a protest in front of the Israeli consulate of Toronto, the Hate Crime Working Group’s prosecutors had greater access to the consulate’s staff than the police.

Officially, the committee merely advises police about what criminal charges can be applied in “hate-related” investigations, as well as providing education and training to police across the province.

But The Breach investigation reveals it is playing an influential role behind the scenes.

It has intervened in cases of pro-Palestinian protest activity that aren’t related to hate and “interfered” with their outcomes, one lawyer told The Breach.

The cases in question were moving toward a withdrawal of charges before the committee intervened, pushing instead for a trial, more severe charges, or more restrictive protest conditions.

Last week, The Breach reported on a Toronto police operation called Project Resolute, which experts say has misapplied “hate crime” charges against Palestinian solidarity activists.

The Hate Crime Working Group is working closely with Project Resolute, providing legal backing to their dramatic targetting of the Palestinian solidarity movement, which has included nighttime raids of activists’ homes.

The police have pursued “hate crime”-related charges against a man who flew a Palestinian socialist party’s flag, and against several activists for postering an Indigo bookstore to protest its CEO Heather Reisman, whose foundation has provided millions of dollars to support soldiers in the Israeli army.

Joshua Sealy-Harrington, an assistant professor of law at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), said the revelations are “alarming.”

“Police have long searched for alibis to expand their authority to criminalize Palestinian solidarity and decolonial activism,” Sealy-Harrington said.

“This Hate Crime Working Group appears to be doing them a favour by helping them label political opponents of the Israeli state as ‘hateful.’ The term is intentionally amorphous to permit the arbitrary exercise of state and police power.”

All the lawyers The Breach spoke to asked to remain anonymous because of concerns that their speaking out may adversely impact other cases they are working on.

Hi! Someone who works in the non-profit/charity sector!

At least in Canada, a lot of our non-profits have been suffering from inflation. For example, food bank operating costs have gone up by 25% while we’re seeing less food being put out due to shrink-flation.

I do strongly suggest reaching out to charities and non-profits because we need them more now than ever! My local food bank has almost doubled in attendees in less than a year (400 originally, now 1000).

Ontarian Non-Profits 2 Checkout:

• Hamilton Regional Indian Centre

An indigenous outreach I strongly support. They focus on our cultural healing, prenatal care, supporting Canadian Indigenous families and so so so so much more!

A lot of events are run through them as well if you’ve ever wanted to partake in pieces of Indigenous culture.

• Alzheimer’s Society of Ontario

Our country’s leading charity in Alzheimer’s education and the leads for trying to find a cure. Old people get neglected a lot and especially old people with this illness.

They support and fund activities for them as well, which is important for stimulating the mind!

• Knight’s Table

Traditional food bank, focuses in mostly on non-perishables. I’ve used this organization in the past and they made sure me and my family were looked after.

1/3 Kids are food bank users.

• Regeneration

Traditional food bank that also serves hot and fresh foods. Provides a clothing closet for homeless and underprivileged as well, paired with a station to gussy up for job interviews. Think of it as a food bank with DLC.

• Rainbow Railroad

LGBTQ+ foundation that focuses on bringing queer folk who’ve been victimized in their home countries here to Canada for asylum. There’s too many countries that fund and support violence against LGBTQ+ people. Rainbow Railroad aids in the immigration process and helps people of our community from around the world.

Conversion therapy and similar methods are still widely accepted and encouraged in certain parts of the world.

• CAMH (Canadian Association of Mental Health)

Mental health non-profit focused on providing humane and healing treatment to Canadians FREE of cost. They run psychiatric facilities both stay overnight and drop in. They also host a 24/7 Crisis Hotline for those in dire states. Furthermore, they run free mental health programs such as DBT, CBT, Talk-Therapy, Group Therapy, Addictions counseling and so much more.

CAMH received a lot of funding cuts back when COVID hit, paired with a huge influx of people needing to use their services. Still they continue to provide these services, though now with wait times due to funding.

I encourage you to research charities within your area and donate either money, supplies or funds to them! There’s a huge need for it. Thank you to everyone who has supported non-profits so far. I can promise you they use every cent.

03: Privilege

Privilege is a subconscious advantage. Privilege takes many forms in our modern society and is often misused against the lesser. It is the assumption of those who consider themselves to be “privileged” that the level of accessibility to resources and experiences is undifferentiated. When we consider nature interpretation, factors such as socioeconomic factors, cultural background, native language, and lack of knowledge all influence the depth at which the natural world can be related to (Beck et al., 2018).

Peggy McIntosh’s metaphorical approach to describing privilege is an excellent foundation to this discussion (Hooykaas, 2024). She references an “invisible backpack” as the vessel that carries our assets and knowledge (Hooykaas, 2024). These assets are unearned and often do not surface to our awareness (Hooykaas, 2024). Assets such as economic status, cultural background, language, and education are examples of what the invisible backpack would be composed of (Beck et al., 2018). Each asset directly influences how we perceive, acquire, and relate to the world around us (Beck et al., 2018).

I am a young, white, university student. I am of the middle-class and am one of two children. My “invisible backpack” has facilitated the rich relationship I have with the natural world from a young age. My economic privilege rendered incredible travel expeditions across the world and exposure to exceptional environmental programs. I attend a recognized Ontario University and am on pace to receive a bachelor’s degree. My cultural background has seamlessly led to opportunities in my professional and personal life, allocating more time for leisure. I recognize that with English as my first language, a greater number of nature interpretation programs and literature are accessible. Considering the level of privilege I possess; privilege is defined as the accessibility to opportunity unaffected by fear and the lack of sacrifice that enable a richer quality of life.

Economic privilege is an integral component when considering the accessibility one may have to nature. Individuals who have disposable income may indulge in travel and higher-end nature experiences (Beck et al., 2018). While it can be debated that the natural world is free to all people, the diversity of experiences is accompanied with a price. It is the responsibility of the nature interpreter to create affordable, inclusive experiences that are close to home (Beck et al., 2018). Education and immersive programs are a right, not a privilege and they must be delivered as such.

Cultural privilege is a sensitive aspect when discussing the accessibility one may have to nature. The participation of different cultures in nature is largely dependent on social constructs and values (Beck et al., 2018). Camping in tents is an activity that wealthy white people participate in however, to urban minorities is their reality (Beck et al., 2018). To address cultural privilege, inclusivity should be the number one priority. Personal invitations to instil that all are welcome and wanted will strengthen the bond between cultures (Beck et al., 2018).

Language privilege or proficiency is often overlooked in Canada. Canada is a country whose two national languages are English and French. Most programming, advertisements, and professionals are fluent in English and are aware of basic French (Beck et al., 2018). Courses, signage, and maps when entering a provincial park are always in English (Beck et al., 2018). Immigrant families and non-native Canadian citizens are not able to connect with the information on the natural world the same as those who are fluent in English (Beck et al., 2018). Nature interpreters must actively reduce communicative barriers and utilize multimedia approaches.

Privilege influences how one may perceive, relate, and accept the natural world (Beck et al., 2018). It is the role of the interpreter to develop strategies and programming to address these limitations and postulate solutions to become more inclusive. I recognize the privilege I have and how said privilege has exposed me to several opportunities. I encourage my peers to work alongside me in developing a sustainable, inclusive future for nature interpreters.

Layla and Alex skate soooo close together. Kudos to whoever it was who taught them their foundational partnering skills, because it’s becoming a bit of a lost art! So many seniors skate a foot apart in hold because it’s easier to skate fast that way and the judging rewards that now - Marjo and Zak I love you so much but they are a prime case of this - but the judges should value it more highly when they see it because it’s so much more difficult. I think Ontario is slowly building them a really solid basis for seniors. The progress from their novice Lion King program is amazing.

very true. they looked good then, too - that was a really good skate - they have the ability to deliver under pressure, those two ☺️ - all 3 Ilderton grown teams have/had good basics, so someone's doing something right there - Layla and Alex won Novice only 2 and a half years ago - Feb 2022, so they'd had more than a full year with Scott at that point. they've been lucky to have both the years of gentle development with quality basics, and then to have the elite of the elite coaches show up in their home base

i would say how come Marjo and Zak don't work on skating closer, except there's no incentive, and their speed is kind of dazzling at times these days

What charity work and public service makes Prince Harry's life at risk and needing security? by u/Negative_Difference4

What charity work and public service makes Prince Harry's life at risk and needing security? This post is related to this snippet from this post (https://ift.tt/vwl4oCm SaintMeghanMarkle/comments/1b24rkz/harold_is_a_lying_liar_who_lies_the_judgment/)https://ift.tt/cp3x0GC is associated with Invictus Games (foundation international games for war veterans and those serving in the defence forces) and WellChild awards (charity to help support children with long term illness).He is on the board of African Parks and was the President of the Foundation. The foundation lost its charitable status and operates without any oversight. https://ift.tt/OUqCZGV. It also has recently been embroiled in barbaric rape and abuse of the local Baka tribe in The Congo.He is the co-founder of Sentebale (charity to help the orphans of Lesotho). This is the charity where Harry held the 10 month old Keke (rape and torture victim) and vowed to look after her but he never did.He is the patron of Henry van Straubenzee Memorial Fund (Aims to lift children out of poverty through education. Funds are directed to projects in south-east region of Uganda.) But he hasn't been as involved with itHe is a Honary life member of Royal Ontario Museum and Gloucestershire County Cricket Club.These are the causes linked to his time with the Royal Family and I haven't look into Archewell endeavours as it is private foundation. So which one of these causes could cause a risk to his life, which would need the UK government to intervene and provide security including during the time he is in the US?One thing that bugs me with this point and his constant need to connect himself to Princess Diana ... Diana was working with the following causes:AIDS and HIV CharitiesThe Plight Against LandminesHomelessness and PovertyThe Leprosy MissionCancer TrustsI don't know if people were alive during this era ... but her causes were insane ... no white, rich celeb would go anywhere near these types of causes esp AIDS/HIV in 1987. I never heard of AIDs before that, we didn't have google back then or even a computer at home! (And yes there were other royals already involved in this stuff like Princess Margaret support in the 80s and Princess Anne in 1988). The level of coverage Diana gave to this cause to dispel the myths was insane. Same with Leprosy ... there was so much stigma to even touch someone with leprosy esp growing up in India. The landmines cause in Angola ... well the world went crazy. Everyone told her that royals shouldn't be getting involved with political issues. This was in 1997, she died soon after. The conspiracy theories rolled on. Such a shame that Diana rejected her RPO security and only had a personal protection bodyguard. One wonders what could have been if she wasn't so paranoid about life and took the security. (BTW, the bodyguard survived the crash and is still working ... because he wore a seatbelt! How many times have we seen Harry, Meghan and the kids not wearing seatbelts?)How does Harry's work compare to Diana's charity work in the 80/90s? post link: https://ift.tt/vxQu9jd author: Negative_Difference4 submitted: February 29, 2024 at 11:20AM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

Missing Missing Missing

The board sat in one of the Archives' many corners. It was a newer board, with fresh cork, to be a better replacement for what was previously used. Unlike some of the other boards this one was all confined to a specific subject matter.

Malia Suchin. Age 20. Brunshire Student.

Clive Brown. Age 62. Farmer

Himitsu Etsumi. Age 22. Brunshire Student

Spark Rawls. Age 42. Electrician and Single Father.

Oliver Fishbach. Age 18. Errand Boy.

These missing peoples weren't new, but rather some of the more recognizable from the board. Two back to back disappearances in rural Kansas and the other three were connected to Brunshire.

The board had all of their missing posters litterered around the board, each pinned along the different states and countries of the world. Some posters had begun to deteriorate with age, and some had X marks to signify that they had ceased to exist.

One hated to look at this board. It angered her that the Foundation was always stuck one step behind, meanwhile Ringleader Regina kept on kidnapping innocent children, adults, elderly, and animals to add to the Troupe of Shadows. They've only been able to get close twice, resulting in rescuing three individuals at the cost of two of their top agents becoming permanent clowns.

One approaches the board and pins a new one. Jessica Kimes. Age 38. Hairdresser. Last known location was her home in Ontario. Maybe she can be the lucky few that escape, One muses, but alas, hope for that is extremely thin. Especially as long as Regina's cruel hands are controlling the strings.

Unit 01: Relationship with Nature 🐿️

Describe your current relationship with nature. How has this developed/evolved? Who offered you “a sense of place,” as described in our textbook?

Hi everyone! My name is Sam (she/her) and this is my third year in the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences (Ecology) program here at the University of Guelph.

Like many, my positive relationship with nature developed from a young age. My fondest memories from childhood are homed by forests, rivers, and family gardens. Observing lily pads while canoeing with my mom, petting banded wooly bear caterpillars Pyrrharctia isabella on hikes, thanking trees for letting me climb their branches, and staying up late reading so I could identify every shell I found on the beach. I felt a strong urge to nurture nature as it did for me, despite the fact I had so much growth ahead.

The summer before highschool I started volunteering as a camp counselor at a farm on the Niagara Escarpment, where I found my “sense of place” in nature surrounded by free-roaming chickens, acres of horse pasture, and a group of children eager to learn about forming relationships with animals. Around the same time, I attended “Discovery Vet School” at the University of Guelph, which opened my eyes to the plausible academic future I had in the environmental sector. One of the lectures focused on the ethics of the meat industry; needless to say (against my family’s wishes) my stubborn grade 9 self was vegetarian by the time I got home— an ethical decision that has stuck with me these past seven (7) years. In highschool, I also started volunteering with and fostering for the Humane Society and private animal rescues. With a focus on neonatal kittens, my desire to research the biology and behaviour behind animals skyrocketed. At the same time, I was mesmerized by how deeply bonded I felt to each individual in my care (over 50 cats and kittens by the time I was moving away!). These deep bonds transitioned to plant life too. I started working for a local garden centre and conservation area in my last year of high school, which brought along incredible mentors and life-long friendships built on the foundation of a love for nature. Every plant, animal, and component of our natural environment was solidified in my mind as a someone instead of a something.

Furthermore, I spent Summer 2023 as a full-time Plant & Biocontrol Research Assistant at Vineland Research & Innovation Centre, where I contributed to a variety of experimental projects involving plants, insects, and growth substrates. Whether I was identifying/tracking microscopic insects, testing soil pH levels from Ontario conservation areas, conducting biostimulant fieldwork, or caring for hundreds of greenhouse plants, each day took my passion for ecology to a more feasibly impactful level— I loved it! However, this newfound “measurement of impact” came from a western science perspective spent in labs where all my observations were easily transferable to a spreadsheet. When I was tired from long days of work, it was still nature that would soothe my aches and cradle my mental exhaustion. Evenings spent digging around in my home garden and harvesting vegetables grown without the grand purpose of contributing to scientific reports. Evenings spent reading in the grass accompanied by my family cat and best friend, Delilah, while watching insects crawl between the words of the book I was reading. Evenings spent climbing the backyard tree that had watched me like a grandmother through every stage of life, even though I couldn’t swing on her low hanging branches like I once did.

These moments after work, coupled with summer weekends spent hiking or kayaking, lead my story to right now. I’ve returned to the University of Guelph, taking on the role of ecology student for my third year. My “sense of place” within nature has truly blossomed here, where I spend my academic life studying our complex ecological world and my personal life finding natural influences in the music, clothing, activities, and friendships I immerse myself in. The relationship I share with nature is constantly evolving, and I’m looking forward to exploring the intricacies (and sharing them with you!) during our Nature Interpretation course this semester :)
