the thing about canadian nationalism is that it exists in a perpetual state of relativity to our perception of american jingoism. their patriotism is loud, aggressive, vulgar. our patriotism is quiet and polite. which of course provides the exact conditions needed for our own brand of chauvinism to fester under the glossy, collective self-delusion so many canadians whole-heartedly and uncritically embrace; that we are the "good ones"

so we mock patriotic americans for their devotion to/celebration of the great myth of the american dream, and all the while we fail to address the lies we tell ourselves about who we are as a country. we have medical care! marriage equality, abortion rights, social support networks, our police don't shoot unarmed people of colour in the streets. a socialist utopia. no don't think about it too hard. don't look into any of the above statements or address any of the structural inequalities we refuse to admit exist. residential schools? a tragedy, of course, but an anomaly. disabled people lose all financial support if they get married? well surely that's for their own good. we once denied entry to autistic immigrants? well that's all in the past, we take them now! and look at all the ukranians we welcomed so lovingly! the syrians? oh well that was a different situation you know, not so cut and dry you see. turn your attention (again. and again) to the amazing work we did in rwanda. I'm so sorry, what's that you're saying? somalia? never heard of it!

it's okay. it's all okay. we're still not as bad as america

Valentina Kuryliw’s latest book on human rights and the Holodomor titled "The Historian’s Craft Lesson on Human Rights and the Holodomor" will be available for free until the end of November on the Ukrainian World Congress' website. The PDF is available in both English and Ukrainian as well as an English powerpoint.

The book offers innovative methods for teaching high school students about the Holodomor and human rights, using a variety of historical sources and interactive tasks.  In the book, students take on the role of “young detectives,” investigating, analyzing, and synthesizing the information provided during the lesson. This approach promotes student engagement in the learning process, develops critical and historical thinking skills, helps express thoughts and ideas clearly, and encourages further exploration of the topic. In this lesson plan, teachers become facilitators in dialogue with students to help them arrive at their own conclusions, according to Kuryliw’s description.

This was a commissioned scarf I made for a friend of mine. This is chunky yarn in a basic assomption pattern commonly found in Métis sashes.

Fun fact: when I first learned this pattern, it was just called "double lightning." I didn't find out the history behind the pattern until I acquired my second book and did more research.

Two appliqué projects I did about the St. Lawrence Seaway/The Lost Villages.

Top one is based on the Lost Villages Historical Society logo, bottom is based on a photograph by George Hickey taken in Aultsville, Ontario just before the flooding of the Seaway.

That anon is a glory hunter, and this anon was probably apart of the people that were praising him for wining in Monaco and now hating on him for an engine problem that wasn’t even his fault. It’s sad to see how some people claim to be Charles fans but shit on him at the first opportunity

I'm not sure whether they are a Charles fan or not, but either way, it's important to look at the whole picture of what is happening during a race. Sure, I jump to conclusions myself from time to time. But when you hear the explanations from Charles and Fred, you see some of the onboards and listen to the team radio, it is very clear that the team was trying to solve the issues that were obviously completely out of Charles's control.

In fact, I am in awe of how he managed to keep that car in one piece while driving on Hards in the pouring rain on a track they already didn't have grip on with the Inters! In a race where cars were skating around like Bambi on ice left and right, and 4 other cars DNF-ed because they hit walls/other cars.

I'm alive!!!

I don't know if anyone noticed, but I was gone for a couple days.

My charger just suddenly stopped being compatible with my device, so I had to track down the one that came with it that had unfortunately been rain-soaked, dry it off and set it out for 2 days, and pray to the gods that it still worked.

I did some crafts that are both in the WIP stage right now, and here's their current state!

Cardboard lynx mask. Needs fur, elastic, and decorations to be complete (No ears because I have a headband)

Stardew Valley mermaid pendant, with some creative liberties. Needs glossy varnish on shell to be complete

Let me know if you want tips or a list of materials for either craft.

P.S. I'll post an update on @my-wife-is-an-elder-god 's progress in like 2 seconds, so if you want to see that, check out that sideblog!
