1990 - When developers and the town of Oka wanted to start building a golf course on stolen land that belonged to them and that contained a sacred grove and a burial ground, the Mohawk tribe around Kanehsatake, Quebec, rose up and occupied the area.
Ultimately the stand-off with the police and the Canadian army lasted 78 days before the warriors gave up the occupation. The building of the golf course was cancelled.
From this great documentary: [Kanehsatake: 270 Years of Resistance]
Kaniehtiio Horn has a podcast called Coffee with my Ma where she talks in-depth about her family’s activism, including their presence at the Oka protest, where her sister Waneek was bayoneted through the chest while she was carrying Kaniehtiio.
I found a spider in the snoozer
some of my favorite mutuals post entirely about things that i do not understand or care about and our dms are barren like a desert. and yet the warmth of that big hot sun remains between us
whenever you take too much time to write something know it is because stephen king has been stealing your life force
how do any of you listen to music. theres so many songs. sometimes youve already listened to them. its insane
Listen, folks, I also hate generative AI and do not think it is an effective accomodation, but if your argument against it is "Oh, you think [task] is hard? What a stupid idiot baby!" then I'm sorry to say that is Literally Just Ableism. Please think about what you are saying. The point should be that it doesn't actually work to solve the problems that people are struggling with, not that they're wrong for struggling in the first place.
I honestly wonder what sort of white hot content is gonna get churned out when indigenous people get hold of the means and realize they can make animated series about real-life modern experiences or history.
The next logical step for the online indie animation boom, tbh.
The queer community needs to declare a state of emergency, especially for trans people.
I realize this post alone is not very meaningful. I don't have the energy nor clarity of mind to elaborate rn. I will.
Memorize it.
No queer gets caught alone.
No queer gets caught defenseless.
No queer gets caught unaware.
No queer gets left in the cold.
No queer goes without a roof, plate, or connection.
Live it.
We cannot rely on politicians and legislation to protect us. Government does not give us the right to survive and thrive, and they do not get to take that right from us. There are more of us than them.
Queer people will always exist. They cannot kill us. They have never succeeded, and they never will.
Fascism is nothing but a fragile ideology. May it be crushed and left to rot. It has no right to exist.
You have to love each other more than you hate your oppressors, or you are doing their jobs for them.
Memorize it and fucking live it.
I have never been so angry in my life. This is what we do about it.
When communities strengthen, fascism struggles. We need to jam them up at all points.
