I think something this article missed is that the autism awareness tattoo, while looking absolutely nothing like a gang tattoo, does very much look like a pride tattoo, and we know these people are not only targeting immigrants (or people who look like immigrants) but also trans and the LGBTQ+ community at large.

I don’t want to see you flying your colonial-ass flag Canada, I want to see you supporting small, local, and indigenous owned businesses. Be pro-people, don’t be pro-country.

In Canada we see a lot less of that due to rules around news and reporting on social media, but there’s a push for better regulation still. I worry it’s not enough to keep us clear of the conservatives this election.

I really hope you’re right. I’m actually very scared that they’ll take over our social media this election season and we’ll get fucked as well.

Okay, thanks for letting me know!

I had searched up the Egypt Carrying the Light to Asia which notes that the statue was based off a design that was meant to be at the Suez canal and the concept was reused as the statue of Liberty after being declined, which I still find pretty interesting. I guess the original commenter added a bunch of the other stuff based on the misinformation that the other commenter pointed out.

I’m not able to see the removed word and my mind is running wild with imagination. Can you give me the first letter?

This is one of my new favourite bits of totally unnecessary information, thank you.

Does it? My partner has learned some very strange words I have never heard used in mexico. But I guess the rest of Latin America also uses different dialects.

Identify as embryo or slave, no other choice in the free world

So fluoride is too much, but poop is okay? Got it.

I think Western society/individualism has erased a lot of this but for centuries before colonialism and still in a lot of indigenous and non-western societies, it’s expected to respect your elders and take care of them. In turn, they should be aiming to build that respect for themselves and to be a good ancestor for those preceding them. You see this all across indigenous belief systems - your society/nature will take care of you just as you took care of it.

The reason nobody did shit for us is because those beliefs have been overridden by colonialism and individualistic mindsets. Humans aren’t meant to be as selfish as we’ve become, that’s why we’re so unhappy.

…Trump-hating [Ron DeSantis] has disgraced himself by stating that [Andrew Tate] and [Tristan Tate] are not welcome in Florida!"

Did I miss something? Since when do DeSantis and Trump not align on their shit values?

But also, I mean, it doesn’t have to be said, but fuck all of them with a chainsaw.

Outside of Western religions there are plenty of other cool non-male deities. There’s lots of pagan goddesses.

The only “feminine” or female deity that is maybe as well known as “God” would be like nature as it is often referred to as “mother” nature and in she/her. Though I’m not sure pantheists or other religions would refer to her strictly as a goddess.

Western religions talk about a male god because western societies are patriarchal; they need it to support a male-dominated societal structure.
