Despite the fact that Ontario put a stop to birth alerts in 2020, Quebec child welfare agencies continued to send hundreds of the controversial notifications — which can be used to threaten to or actually seize newborns from their mothers — to Ottawa's largest hospital.

According to internal hospital data obtained by CBC News, The Ottawa Hospital received 298 birth alerts from October 2020 onward. That was when the province ended the practice, saying the alerts disproportionately affect Indigenous and other racialized mothers.

All the alerts issued after 2020 came from Quebec and "were not acted upon," the hospital said.

But Cora McGuire-Cyrette, CEO of the Ontario Native Women's Association, said it's "disheartening to see these numbers."

To be clear, birth alerts have historically been disproportionately used to seperate Indigenous parents from their newborns, based on racial profiling.

So I've been cooking a lot of characters lately. Meet Piper, the changeling witch! She's been a huge hyperfixation of mine lately, but I haven't made a whole lot of art of her yet.

My entire day is just. Studying child development. And I don't like it (it's complicated) but it's making me really want to write a kid!fic?

Look, watching that one episode of Ingredients Did Something To Me, okay??

After some youthful indiscretions when he's a teenager, Kim get's a girl pregnant. Korn finds out and makes the problem go away. Kim might not find out at all, until years later, when the girl - now a woman - presents him with a toddler and tells him it's his. And Kim is shocked to hell, but if nothing else, he's loyal to his family, and holy shit this child is his family.

Or maybe Korn deals with the problem in a different way. He's not averse to raising bodyguards, Kim says as much himself. He could easily take care of the mother (either paying her off, attic-wifing her, or killing her), with the intention of raising his grandson to be the next heir after Kinn. He knows the chances of getting a child out of Kinn are slim to none. Now he won't have to worry about that. He has a grandchild that he can raise in his own image, in secret.

This is going to get long so I'm going to continue under a cut

However it happens, Kim eventually finds out, and like hell he's going to let anyone keep him from his child. It will take him a while to get used to the idea, to lean into fatherhood, but he's not going to let his own father raise his child to be a killer. Kim sees a chance to break his generational trauma and he takes it with both hands and runs.

Kim has no idea how to be a father. He didn't have a good role model. He know show he's raised, and he knows he won't be the same, so he just. Tries to do the opposite of whatever he went through as a kid. (He's probably the overly-permissive type, but that won't be a problem until later.)

Kim also doesn't have time to be a father. He's in his last year of university, he has a career to manage. Korn of course offers to help - with Kinn running the family now, he can play the part of doting grandpa, but Kim refuses. Hires a nanny (maybe the one that took care of him as a child, the only one he trusts with his own) to help him figure this all out.

The official story, as far as WiK goes, to protect his clean image, is that the toddler is his baby brother. WiK is seen as the sweet, doting older brother when they're seen in public together (which he tries to make sure isn't often, but he's not going to raise his kid in a box, fuck that). It melts the hearts of all his fans, and no one knows he was a teen parent, a terrible role model, someone to scorn.

At some point in their interactions, Kim lets it slip that he has two brothers, and Chay is confused. He knows about the toddler, but Kim mentioned two older brothers? So doesn't that mean he has three?

Eventually Kim introduces Chay to his kid, and Chay isn't stupid. He was raised by his own brother, he knows what that looks like, and it's not what he sees now. His suspicions are confirmed the first time Kim lets him into his apartment. He tries to hide all of the baby things, but Chay snoops a little bit. Finds a child's room behind a door that should have been locked. He confronts Kim, very gently, with the truth. He doesn't judge. He sad that Kim feels the need to hide, even from him, but he understands.

He also thinks the image of Kim with his son is so much cuter than the idea of him with a baby brother.

Kim lets himself be a little reckless, lets Chay spend more time with him and his son, and it hurts how easily Chay takes to him. Like they're a little family of their own. But it's not real.

The first time Kim lets - no, specifically asks - Chay to babysit, because he has no one else, his nanny is sick, and there's no one else he trusts with his son (which is a shock for both of them on it's own), leads to a dramatic shift in their relationship. Kim can't keep pretending this is just a friendship of convenience. He trusts Chay, maybe more than he should, but he can't deny it.

It's going to make the breakup so much harder, because his son is old enough to love Chay, to miss him, to ask where he is when he stops coming over, and Kim doesn't have a good enough answer. Is barely holding himself together, without the added pain of consoling his heartbroken child, crying for Chay to come home while Kim has to keep himself from doing the same.

TBH, the kid is probably how they reconcile. Next time SomethingTM happens and Kim doesn't have anyone to watch him, his first instinct is to call Chay. But he's not allowed to do that anymore. So he drops the boy off with Uncle Tankhun (and is barely able to make him leave that horrible house with his child inside, but Khun is fierce, he'll protect him) and at some point Chay comes to see Khun, and finds him playing with the kid who missed Chay so much, and he knows he should leave, but when he tries the kid cries until he throws up (it's gross, but it's also sweet, but it's also so, so heartbreaking) and Chay just. Can't. Kim might hate him for it, but he can't break that little baby's heart all over again.

After, both Tankhun and the kid demand regular visits. (Khun knows exactly what he's doing. Yeah he loves his nephew, the kid is in that excited dress-up stage and lets Khun treat him like a little doll, but he also thinks Kim is an idiot and needs to start talking to Chay again, and if this is what happens, then so be it).

Little kiddo excited tells Chay about anything and everything, and then does the same to Kim, telling him about his day, all the fun things he did with Uncle Khun and Uncle Chay, and. It hurts. Kim was not at all prepared for how much it hurts.

It continues this way for a while, with the kid an unintentional carrier pigeon between Kim and Chay, sharing aspects of their lives to each other. They never cross paths because Chay always makes sure he's not there when Kim drops him off or picks him up.

Until one day he is. Kim was late (his latest mission was particularly bloody, he had to take extra time to get himself cleaned up and put back together, he won't let his son be exposed to this part of his life) and his son is inconsolable. Chay is trying his best. Just got him to sleep in his lap when Kim finally drags himself, looking fierce until his eyes fall on his son in the arms of the man he loves, and he softens, and Chay sees it, and. They really need to talk.

But kiddo is still sleeping, and Kim doesn't want to wake him up just yet, so he just. Sits down. Looking at him because he can't look at Chay, and Chay tells him how worried kiddo was (doesn't say how worried he was, too), and how he's been fussy all night. Kim lets it slip how much kiddo missed Chay/looks forward to seeing him now (doesn't say how much he missed Chay, and always hopes for a glimpse of him, always disappointed when he isn't there)

They have a lot to work through, but it's impossible to fight with the kiddo sleeping in Chay's lap, so they're forced to be adults about it. Talking quietly, with Kim admitting to things he never thought he'd be able to say out loud. Does say how much he missed Chay, and how he never should have left Chay alone, and how he never should have let Chay think he never loved him, because he did, so much he saw a future with Chay that scared him, and he ran, because he couldn't bear it if Chay left him first, better to break his own heart

Chay forgives him. They don't get together immediately because forgiveness isn't the same as acceptance, and they still have things they need to work through. But he stops avoiding Kim, and sometimes Kim calls him instead of Khun when he needs an impromptu baby sitter, and slowly, that little family that Kim never let himself dream about starts to take form in front of his eyes, and he wonders how he could have ever let himself run away from this.

Beetlejuice is such an odd franchise, so far I am only watching the cartoon but the more I learn about it the more my eyebrow keeps rising.

Lydia and BJ have such a wholesome dynamic in the show to be inspired by a ped0 ghost.

(I know ppl dont usually call him as such cause he was motivated by desire to go to the living world, sure, but he isn't exactly reluctant to the idea, he already enjoys SA people for laughs and I know it isn't really canon but he does try to r/ ape lydia in the og script so I dont think having him as ped0 is that far fetched, obvs because beetlejuice still has to be funny and enjoyable they really toned down this aspect in future adaptations, like in the musical they tried to really make a point about how he is not a creep and he actually thinks its so weird to marry an underage girl but I just think that comes off as overcompensating, I still enjoy the musical (banger music))

Anyhow I am into this goth witch and her gross green ghost now, with halloween just around the corner.

Tonia wraps a new, woolen scarf around her brother's shoulders. It has some clear flaws and parts where it's wider than in others - knitting is not her strongest suit - but it will be warm for when the snow returns soon enough. "You're not being sent out of the country again any time soon, are you? You'll be around for Teucer's birthday?" (muses-of-teyvat for Childe <3)

@muses-of-teyvat

A soft hum escaped his lips as he felt a woolen material being almost delicately placed around his shoulder as Childe was sitting out in the front yard, taking some time to think. It didn't take much for him to realize that it was one of his sisters scarfs; Tonia may not consider it perfect but to Childe it was a priceless yet perfect gift and he didn't hesitate to thank her for it before listening to the question she asked.

"Don't worry, Tonia. I'll be here ~ I have taken some time off just to be here with everyone for Teucer's birthday." he flashed his sister a genuine smile, turning to face her before doing so.

"I will apologize in advance now... once his birthday is over, I may have to leave for some time but I promise that once I'm back I will make it up to all of you ~" Childe never made promises he didn't intend to keep with his siblings; a lot of the time it took longer than expected to keep his end of the promise due to the nature of his 'work' as a Harbinger being unpredictable outcome wise.

Hi. If your boss (me) has said that something’s a part of your job and is your responsibility, and the boss leaves for the day, then it is still your responsibility and you must still do what your supervisor asks you to do.

Where the FUCK am I and how the FUCK did I get here

Call me Nameless.

Hello I’m back with a new Faller blog let’s go. Muse is a minor. Be normal.

This is Nameless, my Minecraft oc who I’ve had so many thoughts about. Warning!! He is violent and rude, though this blog won’t participate in any high stakes blogging unless stated otherwise

Muse uses he/him

Mod is she/her

I don’t have a reference for Nameless at his current age, just future him. He doesn’t have the hat, or goggles (his eyes are a very dark brown), but he has the jacket. His hair is blond instead of blue and he’s currently barefoot and extremely skinny.

Edit: Nameless now has a reference but I am keeping the above regardless.

Well…it’s official I have created me a haikyuu love child oc. And I decided to go with Kageyama and Hinata.
