the fact that Neskantaga is still under a boil water advisory in 2024 is driving me insane.

for context: Neskantaga First Nation is a small community in Ontario 436 km [270 miles] northeast of Thunder Bay and 180 km [111 miles] northeast of Pickle Lake. They have been under a boil water advisory since February 1995 - nearly 30 goddamned years.

Progress on a new water treatment plant has been ongoing. Neskantaga First Nation's original water treatment plant was built in 1993, but the journey for a new one has undergone numerous issues involving the government and contractors, as well as shoddy construction and hazardous spills.

Construction is still listed as underway with no ETA on the advisory being lifted.

The Canadian Government perpetually drops the ball when it comes to safe water on reserves. In December 2023 the government introduced Bill C-61. It addresses clean drinking water across all First Nations communities, but Chief Chris Moonias of Neskantaga First Nation, the nation with the longest boil water advisory in the entirety of Canada, wasn't even consulted. The bill itself has also been met with much skepticism and criticism due to its vague wording, and rightfully so.

That said, despite the hells of the government there is some positive to be had. 144 long-term drinking water advisories have been lifted between November 2015 and January 2024.

I like to hope the 2021 report from the Auditor General regarding Indigenous Services Canada and its shortcomings will give them insight on how to better optimize their management going forward. So far 2022 and 2023 has continued the downward trend with fewer and fewer long-term water advisories, but it's important to know if these completed projects are successful in guaranteeing clean water to these communities for the long-term future. Is ISC actually following up with proper support.

On February 1, 2024 Indigenous Services Canada posted a statement that the Minister of Indigenous Services has met with Neskantaga First Nation Chief Christopher Moonias to discuss resolving the water advisory and create a 12-point action plan. I know it's asking a Lot within 11 months, but I really really hope the Neskantaga community won't see their long-term water advisory hit 30 years.

In the meantime, Neskantaga First Nation receives donations through Gathering of Rivers for Community Care. If you're able, please consider donating.

thanks

Theres sth i like to point out that, at the beginning of death mark, we assume yashiki is just some dude who unfortunately inflict with a curse and came to the mansion for some help with it. And since he lost his memories we assume he’s just a normal man. But right after he regain his memories, we started to sth weird abt him: he’s a dollmaker and came from a rich psychic family who are cursed to die young and make religious statues, he collect weird shit and curse items (mary in the basement, the honey from the cult, possibly the red doll), his sister is a psychic, he forgot to eat for an entire week, he brew his coffee using ‘cheap’ coffee beans that may or may not involving human sacrifices and overdose them with tons of sugars, he has zero problems of picking up disgusting things ( bugs since childhood and ugh a head), he’s a ok in living in a menacing aura mansion and never lock the fucking door, he may have the mindset of ‘if i dont do this i might be cursed’ (that’s not normal). And from then on you’re starting to realize that maybe he constantly haunted by ghosts is right.

wanted to do a painting of this pose so i grabbed a random dude from the mianite cast and put him in whatever situation this is. it's messy and low effort as fuck but it's good enough for me so whatever

according to procreate this took me 1h45mins (over two sessions)

...There's something deeply fascinating about the way the game keeps prioritising the sequence of events where:

Night 1: Alfira is brutally torn apart and the fact is not hidden in any way, the party knows.

Night 2: Sceleritas gives me the cloak he knitted for me.

Night 3: Astarion decides to feed on the sleep-walking serial killer who keeps blacking out and muttering about death - rather than literally anyone else in the party, or even just backtracking to the druid grove a little - and then kills them.

In the morning after that Astarion - immediately after being punched in the face - asks if his twitchy serial killing victim wants to sleep with him while using his murder of them as a seduction tactic.

Aside from whatever is going on in his head (could be 'well, they like murder,' which... is... fair?), it's hilarious from Durge's perspective. The first four nights you have any memory of and it's this. Death by you -> imp butler -> death of you -> sex with your murderer.

Okay so realistically speaking, giving birth is an excruciating, painful nightmare, and from the few Crocodad fics I've seen most people seem to prefer to write realistic pregnancy and make Luffy's birth a (physically) painful thing. Because it makes sense, it might be more relatable for some writers that way etc, and that's perfectly fine (like genuinely, it's not an issue at all, this is not a critique or a complaint)

God I don't know how to make this segue- Have any of you watched Ore Monogatari!! (My Love Story)? It's a great early 2010s romantic comedy series, funny as hell, super cute and sweet, would reccomend, but that aside. During the series the protagonist Takeo's mother gets pregnant and she ends up giving birth to Takeo's baby sister. And it's that scene, where Takeo's baby sister is born, that I keep on thinking back to whenever I wonder how Luffy's birth might've gone.

Takeo and his mother alike are Sturdy Motherfuckers. Like absolute gigachads, borderline superhuman, it's great and it's funny as hell. And because of that near superhuman nature... Takeo's mother goes to give birth at 4:15 pm. And she has finished giving birth at 4:16 pm. One fucking minute is what it took for this woman to bring a child into this world. An absolute legend

The screencaps do not do justice to how fucking funny this is in the actual episode

And so like

Like we know Crocodile's been through absolute hell, being an amputee and all. And as Domino told us at the entrance of Impel Down, we also know the man did not even flinch when forced into Impel Down's traditional 200 Celsius cleansing bath (or 392F)

So Crocodile has better pain tolerance than the average person. Like, you might have to put in a bit of effort to cause him actually hurt. So if giving birth to Luffy was an absolute cakewalk for Crocodile, not only would it make perfect sense in-universe and be completely in-character for him, but also

It would be objectively funny as hell

2023 is off to a great start for me. How about you?

[secriden]

I'm specifically and especially very very broken up about this scene. (It's from the mock trailer, and no longer in the official one, so it may not even be in the show anymore. But.)

What it says about Fadel. The fragility in this admission. The way he's built up all these walls to protect himself and his brother, the way he trusts no one, lets no one close; but for Style, who he knows is keeping secrets from him, he will break that rule. Because Style has become more important to him that safety, more precious than having control, more desirable than the certainty of having his own heart firmly (coldly) in his own hands.

The fact that Fadel has reached a point that he's not only aware of this but is willing to admit it to Style. The way it slips a metaphorical gun into Style's hands and lines the shot right up to Fadel's head.

The way Fadel closes his eyes while Style is still staring unblinkingly at him. That Fadel is choosing not to see what is coming.

*sobs* I am not ready (but oh so so excited) for this heartbreak.

The pipeline that is Anthony “I will not marry for love” Bridgerton to Anthony “listen I just wanna be where my wife and bestie and love of my life is at all times, I wanna hold her and be held by her and just be in her presence okay? How does anyone live without someone to love (and who loves you back? Omg how lucky!) like make it make sense! Bridgerton brings me so much joy.

Also, Kate?? Receiving love, adoration and acceptance??? Being so deeply loved and being able to love someone so deeply and out loud??? HAPPY, FREE AND STILL DRIVEN AF???

God bless.

I go into shows with zero expectation that any gay shit will actually happen but I REALLY thought Dee and the waitress were going to fuck in the Ladies Boggs Reboot. Like all the 'horny but there are no MEN on this plane!!'/the Chris Evert scissoring joke + "you're my Chris Evert"/the waitress mistaking Dee for Dennis in a drunken haze etc I really thought the natural conclusion would be them having a truly awful airplane bathroom hookup and probably never speaking of it again, as a gag. BUT ALAS

[dizzzyondreams]

okay i know that i talk about john and paul a Very Normal Amount on here (just like everybody else, of course), but can i just say there is something about george and ringo’s relationship that makes me want to eat glass? like, everytime i’m reminded of that video where ringo was talking about the last words george said to him, and then he starts tearing up while doing such, i want to bash my head into multiple brick walls.

[wincerind]

i am speaking so genuinely right now. this website barely functions (on mobile it’s a shitshow just to attempt scrolling through the dashboard), it runs rampant with unmoderated ads and bots, and its staff seems to actively have it out for trans women who are literally just existing on here. WHY THE FUCK would i ever give a single cent to tumblr? the only reason i even still use this site is the user base itself, @staff should be ashamed of how shoddy their management is.
