this utopian canada that is portrayed by the government and the media is a lie. it's propaganda.

canadian society is not anti-racist. our government is the product of centuries of colonialism and oppression.

I know it's nice to think/pretend that everything is great here, but when you pretend that you are telling every person who has suffered under oppression and discrimination that our stories aren't real, that we are lying or exaggerating.

stop trying to convince yourself that there is equity and respect (especially for Indigenous people) on this land, and start working to make that a reality.

some things to get you started:

read up on the national centre for truth and reconciliation, and what the truth and reconciliation commission report says

learn about and donate to the unist'ot'en camp

support, donate to, and get involved with black lives matter canada

get involved with the canadian council for refugees

check out the rainbow railroad- an organization that helps LGBT+ people escape violence, oppression, and persecution

there are so many more great organizations and groups out there doing amazing work, so please if you can take the time to do some research and get involved, that would be wonderful.

What are your fave clexa fics and why

Oh boy. That’s just too much pressure. I’ll do it for multi chapter fics:

First off my favorite fic ever is probably More Women than Warriors by @steklir

My (close) second favorite is in love and war and politics by @centuriesofexistence

My favorite fics right now (that will easily enter my top-10/20) are maybe a crown seldom enjoyed by @onemilliongoldstars and you are in my head (and the prequel) by @mopeytropey

Fics that will forever feature in my top-10/15: in the shallows by @blindwire , the white queen running (and the sequel) by KL_Morgan (@entirelytookeen on Tumblr) , what heart’s ease must queens neglect by thrace, black ribbons by CareyElizabeth, open windows, open hearts by Sheisme, when love becomes the reason by @clarkesquad, blood rush in the hazy glow by firetestsgold, the fight me series by @fairytaleslayer, and the whores’ queen by @clarkethewanheda .

EDIT: I knew I was forgetting two fics! They’re Grand Slam Thank You, Ma'am by faithtastic (@femininenachos on Tumblr) and This Is Heaven In Hiding by @orangeyouglad8 (I’m so torn between this one and the Pirate AU)

There are probably more but these are the ones I remembered off the top of my head. Also, everything by the authors I mentioned is great. And there are so many other authors I love (like @commanderlexaofthegrounders , @paintthebrain , eternaleponine, raspberytree, AnonBeMe, AphroditesLaw, Teroe, etc) but I really tried to keep this list as short as possible.

I got a new job about a year ago. It’s an IT job and part of my job involves supporting desktops running different operating systems. Every morning I log into: wanheda (Linux), heda (windows) and clexa (OSX). They are all running smoothly.

SOCIAL MEDIA "ACTIVISM" IS KEEPING YOU FROM ACTUAL ACTIVISM - HERE'S THE TRUTH

You think you're staying "informed" by doomscrolling through your social feeds 24/7? That's exactly what they want. It's literally designed to keep you angry, scrolling, and - most importantly - doing absolutely fucking nothing.

HERE'S WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU:

It's OKAY to edit your feeds so you don't see that shit when you're just trying to exist

You do NOT have to consume the world's suffering every second of every day to be a "good activist" - and by the way? You're not even getting "informed" by scrolling. You need to actually look up real articles OFF of social media to understand what's happening

Hitting like and share isn't activism. Sorry. It just isn't.

You wanna actually do something?

Learn your neighbors' names. ACTUALLY TALK TO THEM about what's happening

Join your school board and ask them face-to-face why they're against queer education

Stand up to your racist uncle instead of "keeping the peace" (peace for WHO exactly?)

Find out what abortion rights groups are ALREADY DOING in your area instead of reinventing the wheel

Join an actually inclusive church (you know, like Jesus would've wanted) and see what they're ALREADY DOING to make the world better

And for fuck's sake, stop saying "oh I don't talk about politics" - YOUR SILENCE IS POLITICAL

NEWSFLASH: You don't have to start the fucking underground railroad by yourself. That shit ALREADY EXISTS - you just never had to use it before. Lucky you. So volunteer if you're a safe person, at whatever level works for you:

Send money

Show up in person

Pack supplies

Make pamphlets

Whatever you can do

Not everything's gonna get you in the history books and you know what? IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER.

And here's something else that matters: Going to trauma therapy - REAL trauma therapy with a therapist informed in decolonization practices - is a RADICAL ACT. If you have the means to do it, DO IT. Healing yourself is part of the work too.

AND LISTEN UP BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT: IT'S OKAY THAT IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG IT'S OKAY THAT YOU'RE STARTING SMALL IT'S OKAY THAT YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING

NO ONE EVER PUNISHED THEMSELVES INTO SUCCESS.

You grew up with some racist/sexist views? Yeah, most of us did. You can't get stuck there. There's too much at stake. It's time to deconstruct. It's time to do the work.

But scrolling and sharing posts while feeling guilty? That's not the work. That's what they want you to think the work is.

Get off your phone. Talk to your neighbors. Show up at meetings. Stand up to family. THAT'S the work.

Day Twenty-eight

of @the-wip-project‘s challenge

Q28: Do you have an expression that you probably use too much in your writing?

A28: “Awesome”. It’s a term that became popular when I was a teenager, I overuse it to the point of the word losing it’s importance. I have an editing run for “use of awesome” specifically planned once I finish this draft.
