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
#other problems for example include. well. i really have nothing to say other than brampton ontario#and ofc fearmongering about the outside world is a huge aspect of the suburban lifestyle. we like to call true crime such a white woman#thing but tell me have you ever seen a canadian brown pocket suburban desi woman. let me tell you she does NOT let her 20 yr old children#out of her sight!!!! pisses me the absolute fuck off#i still can’t get over the time i was talking to some ppl in a gc and every single american in there (brown + grew up in the suburbs)#thought age 12 was WAYYY too young for a kid to be walking to school alone. it was so ?!?!!???#and only me + another friend (british) were like you guys r fucking insane#<- to be clear this was like in a hypothetical where schools were close enough to walk to and everything. they straight up thought 12 yr#olds couldn’t cross the dsmn street by themselves#.txt

I don’t think my Canadian accent is very strong. it’s like the Letterkenny accent at 15-20% intensity
#although sometimes I hear americans say the word lawyer or roof and think well . I pronounce words very differently#I think it’s called ontario lifting. the south park canadian accent is like newfie east coast

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?"
#i should just call the nearest canadian spca and ask if they accept american adoption applicants.#it would literally be so much quicker to cross the border than to drive to any of the places in the us that currently have rats in

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.
#christ alive#canadian Norwegian Brazilian french portuguese icelandic etc all played a fricken part!!!!#like on a lot of levels it doesn't matter the past is another country so on and so forth we are independent but /fuck/#truly no professionally gutting feeling than spending your professional life preserving your country's history#especially maritime history#and seeing the remnants of all that suffering#all the ways it fucked up my life decades before I was born#and hearing it wasn't enough involvement that it make a difference which like ngl itsn't accurate we may not have made the largest factor#but it was A variable...but hey#at least Americans who aren't calling us communists will give a pat on the shoulder

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

#and i was in both the main parts of the cities and the suburbs#if that's what they're even called#tbh the grossest part i was in was venice#like the central part and neighbouring islands were fine but as soon as you start walking away from the canal... whew#the further you get the worse it is 🤢 quite honestly don't understand the hype this city gets#unbelievably overrated.. and that's coming from a girlie who loves waterfront cities!#i live in montreal and love the old port! always been obsessed with halifax!#but my goodness the east coast here feels CLEAN compared to venice...#it smelled AWFUL and some areas in the city felt very third worldly...#like how was it reminding me of both montreal and the country i was born in at the same time?? 💀#lmao anyway#i wish i lived near the mediterranean sea... that's where i belong... that's home 💔#i'm such a water girlie but i also love the mountains (don't make me choose) so i can't even complain 😩#canada is gorgeous and humongous and we have everything here and there's still so much to discover#still intending on visiting every nhl city !! i'm at 4/7 canadian teams (not counting ex-teams & layovers lol)#not counting arenas either i've only done 2 and i was right by the arena in vancouver but never seen the toronto one#as for american teams... lol. only two 🤠#lowkey jealous of the states sometimes cause y'all could just road trip anywhere and see so many places at once#imagine if i tried to road trip from here to winnipeg. lol. there wouldn't be much to see on the way 🤣#ugh i already miss travelling i can't get enough#i need to explore more of asia though honestly#like south east asia especially 😩😩 indonesia... thailand...#i need trees. ok i need all of water mountains AND trees. DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE !!#(see this is why canada is perfect for me lol. i really am so grateful to live here)#**#bro i just looked it up. it would take 25 hours to drive from montreal to winnipeg.#THAT'S THE SAME AS DRIVING TO FLORIDA.

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~?
#nimo's sheeko sheeko time#convinced everyone who complained about LiS is American tho#I also know it was Americans for Persona 5 but tbh wasnt it also Americans who localized it?#with LiS it was Montreal Canadians who made it#so I guess the weirder one IS persona 5 bc huh? for real what was the issue lol#'its stilted' literally wasnt djdke#omg yay Jojo is back so we can call 🤗🥰

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
#messages from mars#palestine#you respond to the occurrence but don't address the root cause#and what benefit do you get when you address the root cause anyways?#what benefit do you get from addressing the fact that your country and all the other nations it sees itself as equal to is all complicit#in genocide?#even if you don't call yourself a zionist you'd rather turn to the other cheek if it meant you don't have to catch your country's blame#because you're a good guy! because you are the liberal american/canadian/brit/french/japanese and your passiveness is never destructive#free palestine

As a Chelsea fan I am overjoyed right now
#i love Arsenal fans#but some of yall are delulu#also the wanting to rush your American and Canadians players back after just playing a full tournament#could never be me#not after everyone is calling for more rest because of injury risk
