I wamted adulthood for freedom and I got that + the fruits of labour from my childhood. Full adulthood is locked because of disability but it also alows me to realize that adulthood in general is a problematic concept

Ford 'doesn't know what he's talking about' when it comes to basket weaving, Indigenous artist says | CBC News A third-generation Indigenous basket maker is setting the record straight about his craft — it's a part of his culture, it's valuable, and artists can make a living off of it.

Lowell Green was a racist demagogue who used his CFRA radio show as a soapbox to rant about immigrants and target racialized communities in Ottawa

Contrary to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe's eulogy here, Lowell wasn't proud of Canada – he wrote an entire book about how it wasn't white enough for him

The inherent randomness + the inability to avoid damage creates the conditions for a feeling of fly by your pants fighting that ends up having the bones sucked dry by some of the slowest and most tedious fight sequences ever made

I'm perfectly fine to take hits, even in a perfect scenario anyone will take damage. This hides a much bigger problem turn based design has: pacing

Shooting dozens of rounds of tear gas and using pepper spray and their batons, the SPVM violently pushed back more than a thousand people who showed up this afternoon to send a message to GardaWorld over their contracts with ICE at their offices and training center in Ville Saint-Laurent. (thread)

The very few counter examples (Haiti, certain nations in Moananuiakea) are mostly exceptions that prove the rule: either too small to foundationally make change / end up submitting to larger nation states or are so thoroughly opposed as to be destroyed

Abolish "Israel of [insert geographic region here]" and just admit nation states aspire to settler colonialism
