there’s a lot of posts on how white suburbs are deeply awful + filled w ppl unable to conceptualize a world outside their own bubble + steeped in racism etc. which obviously is true and all but as someone who’s personally seen many suburbs filled w/ diff ethnic groups (not functionally diverse suburbs just for example suburb 1 filled entirely w chinese immigrants, 2 filled w only pakistanis, etc) the overall results aren’t much better. like at the end of the day the issue lies not in the whiteness of suburban residents but rather the way their lifestyles (car dependancy -> can’t go anywhere else/see other ppl, have never sat on the bus and seen regular ppl etc) allow them to genuinely live their entire lives in an extremely minuscule bubble of homogenous ppl who look & live (esp economically!!!) exactly like them

I don’t think my Canadian accent is very strong. it’s like the Letterkenny accent at 15-20% intensity

im currently keeping tabs on petfinder to see about adopting a couple more rescue rats into my group rn but i live right by the canadian border and every time i search for rats close to me its like "you want rats? well there are twenty fucking rats sixteen miles from you in Twiddlingsford, BC. and one single rat 80 miles from you in Bucket, WA. Ok?"

Sometimes I get a bit ticked about the whole "invisible Canada" thing, but I went to a visiting scholar lecture about the Battle of the North Atlantic in WW2 from a British academic this morning, and he verbatim said: "Canada isn't involved enough it makes a difference." And the friend I went with pats my shoulder like, "I'm sure you guys did everything that you could do."
If that isn't the most concise summation of general opinions of Atlantic history I've ever seen, I'll never see a better one.

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

Watching a movie review on tiktok and op went off about how "the dialouge was so strange" and it reminded me of when people complained about both Life Is Strange AND Persona 5 for that but both sounded completely normal to my ears???
Life Is Strange was especially weird bc they used the slang properly from what I've seen. I think ppl were just... being weird? But maybe it's because I am Canadian. Lol
Admittedly, though, I think my own wording can be odd to some, so maybe that's why I can't see the ~issue~?

Tumblr imperial core liberals only sharing donation posts for Palestine and not even touching posts that spread information regarding how current circumstances have not manifested spontaneously, that Israel has been targeting Palestinian lives since Israel's establishment, and that the genocide of Palestinians is the ultimate goal of the settler colony state, really reveals that the only thing an imperial core liberal is willing to do when a crisis occurs within peripheral states is throw money at it until it disappears so they can pat themselves on the back for pushing around their share of their country's wealth
