Americans not giving a shit about the wildfires burning down forests and homes in Canada until smoke starts spreading across the border. Meanwhile Indigenous communities across the country are far more likely to be impacted by the fires and I’ve seen all of one link to a charity and about nine million memes. 🙃

#yeah yeah hashtag notallamericans or whatever the fuck #I’m just irritated watching people whine or centre themselves #like sorry your clothes smell like smoke gladys but people have lost their fucking homes #and the government does fuck all for indigenous communities #so you know who’s gonna end up getting more aid #but sure brad can’t go out for his usual morning jog because of the canadians #also all these fucking news articles making ir about america as if canada has somehow done this on purpose out of spite #someone buy me a punching bag for my birthday thanks #artschoolrambles

It’s such a fucked up thought that people will be relieved when they get their periods not because of normal fear of becoming pregnant, but because they could LITERALLY BE CONVICTED OF MURDER IF THEY HAVE AN ABORTION

#i can’t #I’m done existing #i have so much anger #and every day I think of something new and fucked up that people with uteruses will have to go through now to not have a child #whether it’s wanted but too dangerous or unwanted #it’s so fucked up I don’t have any words to describe how I feel #as a woman I’m fucking enraged #but I also know that as a Canadian my rights are protected (for now) #and I just feel such a deep sadness and despair for every person with a uterus in America #so many people are going to die #they just want to eliminate us don’t they #roe v wade #abortion #my body my choice #fuck America

I almost spelled behavior with a u and I could almost feel the Americaness leaving my body.

#Krazy Rambles #I blame talking to Brits and Canadians all the time #excuse me while I go throw some tea in the nearest body of water to reassert my Americaness

#i keep seeing Americans being surprised at this & need to know if it's as common knowledge a i thought it was #polls #tumblr polls #TLDR for the tags: the strikes in America matter in other countries because American media is made in Canada a lot #if you didnt know btw yeah a lot of American shit was filmed in Canada #you can see it in the credits a lot but i know ppl dont watch credits #but yeah unless it's a very specific American landmark the movie is usually Canadian #easiest way is to check the bg for Tim's #second easiest way is to check the end of the credits for ''thanks to whatever local government for letting us film there'' #you'll see the specific province #also yes same with games. & animation. alotta animation & game studios around here #i could go work for Disney or on the next AAA game without even leaving my city #i could also work on whatever next Netflix cartoon is being worked on #so when people are like ''i'm not from America i dont need to worry about scalping'' just remember #American companies outsource to Canada a lot because it's cheaper. & other countries too #even if you aren't American or havent been to America you can still be a scalper. you can still cross the picket line #so yeah the strikes in America actually matter in other countries #because American movies are usually only like half American #gonna go watch Spiderverse in like an hour. peace

Zionists love to be like well Jewish people are indigenous to Israel! Like LOL u colonial weirdos have no idea what being native means do u. It doesn’t mean “my far back ancestors were at one point originally from here”, it means a place is you and your peoples home. the logic of “indigenous identity” zionists have would also mean then that Cajuns are indigenous to Canada. Natives were (probably) not the first people to be in the Americas, migration happens all the time and used to happen freely a lot more! We also probably came from somewhere else and ended up in the Americas. We don’t have some fucking magical ethnic connection to the land, we just lived here for millennia and over time developed our own cultures and traditions and tribes and communities and homes. That’s it. The only reason Native identity has all this mysticism around it, is because at some point white settlers came, decided they were owed the land, decided they didn’t want us there, and killed us.

Notice that if I take that paragraph and make it about Palestinians it’ll still make sense, but if I make that about “israeli” settlers, it won’t? Yeah. Stop co-opting our movements.

#ndn #indigenous solidarity #palestine #anti zionisim #colonialism #The Cajun thing was a very intentional comparison and I do want to note that yeah a lot of Cajuns were/are mixed Mik’maq #Because before we were kicked out of our homes Cajuns were in really close proximity and relation with Mik’maq people #So. Mingling occurred. #Why even the “white” cajuns tend to look different than actually white French people (ie diff face shape darker skin darker hair) #And then with nowhere else to go rly Cajuns settled in the bayou which happened to be yet again in very close proximity to a couple #Native tribes #And more mingling #Which is why around like 40% of cajuns are also ndn. Like im Cajun-Coushatta #Cajun history is rich and really interesting actually #Which is why I do not and will never consider myself or my people “indigenous” to Canada despite likely having mik’maq ancestry #& I do not think ANY Cajun would in a million years consider themselves indigenous Canadian #Those of us who are cajun-ndn consider ourselves indigenous to america

microdosing on middle school level drama by participating in fandom

#<3 #this goes out to you canadians reaction to us losing wjc and everybody else's reaction to america winning wjc and jamie drysdale #and that was ever going on in dsmp amen #not amen. everything that was ever going on in dsmp dont stop the party. #this shit is like watching a friend group explode without having to be apart of the explosion

Imagine they got s5 to be r-rated for some reason lol

#byler #I was going to say that I didn’t know if this was American or Canadian ratings #but if somethings rated r in Canada it’s definitely rated r in America lol

my biggest fear is unironically being arrested in america and given the death penalty for whatever fucking reason. Likely thing to happen

#this is why i cant go to america i know they'd get me for something i didnt even know was a crime #and then immediately just fucking shoot me if not im sent to jail and sentenced to DEATH #don't even have to be guilty i know they dgaf #the canadian justice system is also horrible but at least i dont have to worry about the death penalty man!! #txt

tbh actually going to america made so many things abt americans make more sense to me. certain things id see said id quirk my eyebrow at and silently question but i understand now.... yall have literally everything in that country

#by “literally everything” i mean that i felt overwhelmed going to the five below. #bc ive never in my entire life seen a dollar store that had that much stuff and that wide a variety of stuff and tbh. its better quality to #you can get CLOTHES at the dollar store and they're not just stupid holiday themed t shirts? #everything is like half the price in america tht it is in canada #i bought a perfume online and it was $22 canadian #looked at the american price. $9 #but seriously theres so much shit we just dont even have tht americans do #like. we dont have target so theres inherently a huge gap in shit #bc target has so many exclusive brands #we dont have five below or dollar tree #i had never heard of dave & busters outside of One discord conversation i had in 2020 prior to going to the USA #and theyre so big??? theyre SO BIG #in america you can walk five feet and there will be a restaurant or a store #obviously this is all limited to. where i visited but ykwim #there was simply so much Stuff. everywhere. everywhere there are fucking things #i found shit ive literally been looking for for years . at the dollar tree. for $1.25 #I THOUGHT CANADIAN OVERCONSUMPTION WAS BAR #BAD* #I DIDNT REALIZE HOW MUCH MORE INTENSE AMERICAS IS.

Was anyone gonna tell me going from LA to nashville is only a 30 hour trip, or was I meant to find that out myself?

I thought going coast to coast (I know Tennesse isn't technically on the coast, but it's neighbors with North Carolina so it's close enough) in America would take like...at least 3 straight days of driving, not including breaks or stopping to sleep. Am I just being a clueless Canadian??

#if anyone's curious why i looked this up #i'm doing research for a fic i might write #so i need to do america research because my canadian ass doesn't know stuff that might seem common knowledge to an actual US resident #going from british columbia to new brunswick (aka coast to coast in canada) is a full 60 hours btw #so i'm not crazy for thinking america would take even longer #plane rumbles

I low key have beef w fanon NA bros

#Alfred fucks up this Alfred is humbled by Matt that #only Matt can make Alfred realize his flaws this only Matt can make Alfred hurt that #literally the way it’s portrayed is Alfred is The Worst With Every Flaw Ever And Matt Is Always Right No Exceptions #Matt if absolutely flawless to the fandom and that actually really annoys me???? esp in NA bros context #that is just not how they’d interact in my mind #Americans weather they’re dems or repubs are all INCREDIBLY critical of our countries govmnt and know that there are crazy system flaws #like respectfully Canada would be like go cry about gun violence and America would hit him w that ‘how long does it take u 2 c a specialist? #like Canadians r aware of their flaws too they know they’re country isn’t like a fucking angle right????????? #abt their native history ik they know and r self aware #weiirrdddd weiiirdddd fake dynamic made to #like why #na bros #lemspeaks #hetalia #hws alfred f jones #hws matthew williams #ignore this I’m on a rumble ramble but want to tag for my own organization #like they openly talk

I learned about most of the ninja turtles’ namesakes in middle school history or art except. who the fuck was donatello

#tmnt #my words #was he just not as popular and splinter had to reach for one when naming the boys #or was he like hamilton. the forgotten founding father #though I did see that post like ‘bold of lin to say America forgot him about a guy whose face is on the money’ so idk #I’m not american don’t expect me to know anything about those guys #maybe we should’ve learned that stuff instead of some italian artists #like how many of us as canadians are going to be affected by italian politics #or art #it’s 1am don’t waste any brain cells on this post

not to sound like a conspiracy theorist but i am wondering about how to best plan to be able to go mobile in canada within the next few years cause uhhhhh the gulf stream collapse incoming combined with the devastation we've seen in canada in recent years from fire, flood, etc has me uhhhhhh uncertain about the sanity in trying to settle down here

#i also dont want to go to america #but like... canadian climate is shifting so fast and so unpredictabley i honestly am uncertain if like #self sustaining growing or anything will wven be possible

Do non-Canadians know Eddie Vedder's version of Hard Sun? Do they know Moonlight Desires? Romantic Traffic? Lovers in a Dangerous Time? Coax Me, Raise a Little Hell, Go For Soda, Steal My Sunshine? Do they even know Bobcaygeon?

#trying to think of the best way to formulate a poll for this #constantly learning that songs i thought were popular in america are actually canadian only #which like #obviously all countries are going to have music that is mostly contained there #but it always throws me when people don't know the stuff that was on the radio all the time for me growing up
