British Columbia’s 2024 provincial election is still up in the air after a rollercoaster election night that saw neither the BC NDP nor the BC Conservatives secure enough seats to form a majority government. The final outcome of BC’s election will not be clear for over a week with results in several key ridings separated by less than a few hundred votes. Those results could potentially flip after final ballots are counted and mandatory recounts are conducted. What is clear is that the results represent a major political realignment in BC. The BC Conservatives, a far-right party previously relegated to the fringes of BC politics, received only 1% of the vote and held no seats after the previous election in 2020. But on the morning after election night in 2024, the BC Conservatives received more than 43% of the vote and won at least 40 seats.

I know that news stories about Indigenous people leading ecological stewardship movements are very charismatic and heartwarming, and if your heritage or culture inspires you to work towards better care for the environment that is incredible and extremely admirable, but we're clear on the fact that Indigenous rights and Land Back movements shouldn't depend on First Nations people being mystical Noble Savage, Closer To Nature poster children, yes?

Indigenous self-determination applies to the person who becomes a teacher because she wants to help fill a need in underserved northern reservations. It applies to the person who studies engineering because the job market is good and he likes cool cars. It applies to the woman who works a government job because it's a stable job with a decent salary on which to raise her kids, and the woman who works a government job because she wants to represent and be a voice for her people. It applies to the person who is a lawyer trying to correct the over-incarceration of First Nations people, and her son who wants to be a professional baseball player because he loves sports. It applies to the grad student who wants to bring traditional knowledge into field work, and the goth hairdresser who spends every weekend going to punk shows and anime conventions in the city. It applies to the person who considers themself Two Spirit, and the person who uses non-binary instead because they dont feel that umbrella term fits them. None of these examples are hypotheticals- these are all people I personally know, either friends or family friends or even members of my family. All of these people are equally Indigenous, whether or not they fit your image of what a marginalized people's priorities "should" be. They are not gone, and they are not "stuck in the past". Happy National Indigenous People Day. Do better.

buying the books the US is banning even though i’m canadian because i’m not blind and i don’t trust Pierre Poilievre to not pull the same shit and ban them on this side of the frontier as well. fuck all the far-right politicians and every one that supports them. “cheaper groceries” are not worth losing human rights, and i guarantee you that you will lose them too even if you’re not apart of a group that’s being targeted right now if we get this ball rolling. if you can’t understand something as simple as that then maybe you need to read a goddamn history book before it becomes too late

Just saw a thread of people on TikTok blaming Canada and the Canadian people for the poor air quality in NY and the east coast

Like you’ve got to be shitting me right now? Are certain people that delusional?

Be for fucking real because people are losing everything! entire towns are burning to the ground, every province is on fire and there are certain people in the United States blaming us?

What do they think we’re doing? Going around lighting trees in fire for fun?

"FEMEN*ZIS ARE TAKING AWAY SEXINESS IN MY VIDEO GAMES!!1!!"

Dude, it's conservatives and fascists are planning to censor/ban sexiness in video games because of "degeneracy" and "protecting children"; not folks like Sarkeesian and such who are... just talking about video games.

Alberta school teachers are being targeted by a planned convoy “parade” next week in the latest wave of far-right protests targeting schools and educators.

Leading the planned “one million march for children” event is Benita Pedersen, a familiar face among Alberta’s far-right and a key organizer for Take Back Alberta during this year’s provincial election.

“I’m one of the main coordinators,” Pedersen confirmed to PressProgress. “I am in partnership with individuals from the groups ‘Alberta 4 Liberty’ and ‘YEG United’.”

Pedersen says her “one million march for children” is protesting “sexual education,” claiming parents are unable to “opt-out” because she believes lessons about sex and gender are being taught in every single school subject.

04.  the emperor  :  how much respect does your muse have for authority ? why is this ? 08.  strength  :  how does your muse use their energy ? do they tend to work towards their goals steadily or in bursts ?

a collection of muse headcanon questions inspired by the major arcana of the tarot

04.  the emperor  :  how much respect does your muse have for authority ? why is this ?

She doesn't have as much respect for authority as she used to. The GCPD is one thing; Khare respects the officers who come by for breakfast in the early hours of the morning but she doesn't trust any of them, not enough to come clean about her own problems. She respects the fact that they work a dangerous, difficult job but it's hard knowing if the friendly officer who loves bacon with his pancakes might be taking bribes on the side or worse, his loyalties lay elsewhere than to his duty. She may be new in Gotham but Khare listens to whispers amongst the crowd, holding onto rumours just in case they're true. When it comes to authority in general, Khare doesn't believe they can help her and deep down even fears what she experienced is not only condoned by the powers that be but is facilitated by them. She went missing after all. How can so many people vanish without trace every year with seemingly no effort being made to find them? How deep does this rabbit hole go and would she simply 'disappear' again if she talked to the police about any of this? She'd rather not find out and would rather pretend to be oblivious to it all, keeping authority firmly at arm's length.

08.  strength  :  how does your muse use their energy ? do they tend to work towards their goals steadily or in bursts ?

Steadily. Khare's energy levels are low but it is consistant, like a dimly flickering bulb that continues burning much longer than anybody expects it to. Her heartrate is barely higher than that of a corpse, heart beating just a few ticks per minute and while she yawns and pauses for a moment to remember what she's doing or saying, she continues on, often staying awake for days at a time when others would have tired long ago. Only on rare occasions when startled or downright fearful for her life will Khare get a burst of energy, increased electrical activity in her muscles forcing her body to function beyond her natural limitations. During her escape from the experimental facility she was held at, she cleared a twenty foot jump over barbed wire fencing and sprinted off into the surrounding mountains, trudging through hundreds of miles of harsh terrain back to civilisation.
