Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

wip versions that i was fond of below the cut

[image ID: digital illustration of gman and a younger version of tommy coolatta from the web series Half-Life VR but the AI is Self-Aware. they are in the tram that gordon freeman rides in at the beginning and end of the series. much like in the conversation between gordon and gman at the end of HLVR:AI, it is dark outside the windows, with streaks of light in the darkness. gman is dressed in a suit and is sitting on a tram seat with his back facing the viewer, putting a beyblade into a beyblade launcher. tommy is sitting on the floor in the empty wheelchair space of the tram, surrounded by empty soda cans and looking down excitedly at two beyblades clashing in beyblade arena. he is facing the viewer and is wearing a yellow short-sleeved, collared shirt with a blue-and-pink striped bow tie and brown shorts. image ID end.]

Based on a conversation with @animallathepurpledragon! For some context, we each have our own versions of Benrey and Gordon, but her Benrey and my Gordon are together.

Her Benrey has a lot of different forms, so the question arose: "If your Gordon was stuck choosing, which form would he pick?" Benrey doesn't care which one he decides, he will transform and stay that way until Gordon asks for another. However, he'd just tell Benrey to be whichever form he feels most comfortable in. But the issue is, Benrey doesn't know which one is his. Sometimes he has issues figuring out his identity, and on occasion will cry in his room. Even though Gordon tells him he's beautiful no matter which form he chooses to be in, and he'll accept whichever one he wants to be. Benrey still doesn't know. So Gordon asks, "How do you want to look?" The other replies, "However you see me..." He responds by saying, "I love you just the way you are. You're perfect." And gives him a big hug and a kiss. Benrey weeps, but he's still troubled. So in a shaky voice, he asks, "What's perfect to you? What is the way I am...?" He hums a little in thought, gently rubbing his back. "Everything about you, right here right now, as we are, together." For once, Benrey doesn't know what to say. He's still searching for the answer to what Gordon really wants him to be. He's looking for his true self but can't find it. It's like there's a missing piece to his memory. The scientists played too much with his shapeshifting ability, forcing him to be what they desired. So Gordon tells him, "Be what you want to be. Be what makes you happy. Live for yourself, and not for others." With a tired voice, he replies, "I don't know how to live with myself anymore... How to really be happy. How to be the real me. I've lost everything all for the joy of others..." And to that, Gordon reassures him, "You haven't lost me." He takes a moment to pull away and gaze into his eyes. "And you won't. You don't have to figure this out alone. And... It might take time, but... I'll be there with you every step of the way." Benrey cries freely in his arms, and Gordon hugs him tightly without letting go. "Life isn't about what you have and haven't done, it's... it's about the journey you've made, how you grow and learn, and the connections you build... And you... You've come a long way, Benrey. And I'm so damn proud of you."
