See this picture? This comes from a town in Canada where a 24 pack of water bottles is 104 dollars and formula milk for a baby is priced at 55 dollars a pack. What’s more, a pack of diapers is 95 dollars and one head of lettuce is 26 dollars. Inuit people are starving in a country known for it’s generosity.

If you don’t believe this is true, you can find more images like this here. This is the only grocery store these people have in their small towns, and many people are going hungry & elderly are dying faster.

You’ll send aid to foreign children that are starving, so why won’t you pay a little extra to feed the people in your own country who work hard & still can’t afford the prices for healthy food for their families?

Please have a heart and reblog this photo to raise awareness that even in our own countries people are starving, join the movement and show the government that we won’t sit by and watch people starve. 

If you think this will make your blog ugly you’re wrong. Children in a first world country are getting sick & starving, and nobody is even aware it’s happening. You can let people know by reblogging and showing you care. People I am close to, my friends and future in-laws are going through this. 

Love how little attention this post gets from my beach blog followers.

Ok I didn’t think this could possibly be for real, but I found a news source on the matter. This is insane.

YES, this is real.

the way the Canadian government treats the native people here is actually disgusting. The reserves sometimes have a lower life expectancy and the general living quality of third world countries. This isn’t common knowledge and it needs to be.

I will defend the right for people to read characters as queer and to write m/m fanfic all day, every day.

But if you (seem to) need to justify erasing or dismissing female characters while doing so, or imply that m/m is the only way that fans can imagine a relationship of equals, I get super uncomfortable.

…because it seems to imply that:
– female characters are always less powerful
– OR that we can’t imagine female characters as anything other than less powerful, even in our wildest fantasies
– OR that f/f doesn’t/cannot hold the same value
– OR that any m/f ships in canon are somehow broken or lesser because m/f relationships always have power differentials
– OR that we can’t imagine m/f ships as relationships of equals, even in our wildest fantasies
– OR that all m/m ships are devoid of power differentials
– OR that we are more willing to imagine our fave (white) male characters – sometimes in elaborate-as-fuck aus – valuing each other in a relationship than we are to imagine that they could possibly value/treat women as equals, even in our wildest fantasies

And I think fandom is (or has the potential to be) better and more imaginative than that.  But maybe that’s just me?

Reblogging myself because I just saw a friend reblog something that said pretty much exactly what I was trying to rebut with this and OH MY GOD WE HAVE BEEN OVER THIS.

A FEMALE CHARACTER IS NOT ‘WEAK’ JUST BECAUSE SHE IS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A MAN, OR BECAUSE SHE CRIES OVER ONE, NOR IS SHE BEING ‘DESTROYED’ BECAUSE SHE IS IN LOVE. CAN WE STOP ACTING LIKE WOMEN HAVE TO BE EMOTIONALLY DETACHED AND HATEFUL AND ACT LIKE THEY’RE ‘TOO GOOD FOR ANY MAN’ JUST TO BE DEEMED STRONG PLEASE.

In the gym today, I was watching a documentary on Rwandan genocide survivors, post-traumatic stress disorder and how even their children exhibit PTSD. Basically, there’s a lot of new research and case studies proving that trauma can permanently alter neuropathways in the brain, which can be passed along genetically.

Now, think of this in terms of Native Americans: our genocide began 500 years ago, and today many native people live in abject poverty, without access to mental health facilities. This is why the suicide rate for young Native Americans is higher than any other demographic. We’ve inherited our ancestors’ trauma, but if we can inherit trauma, I posit that we can also inherit the will to survive. After all, we are only here because our ancestors fought for us to be here. Resistance is in our blood, survival is in our DNA
