To Your Future Career In The Circus

Blocking someone doesn't keep you from seeing their posts.

Blocking someone doesn't mean you won't ever see them again. You might see Blazed posts, if you don't subscribe & also have Blazes turned off. You might see reblogs of their posts or posts they have added to.

You can, however, avoid seeing their posts by adding their username to your list of filtered terms!

This has been an option since at least August 1, 2023. If you haven't updated your app in 3 years, genuinely, what the fuck, but also, you can also access it on the web, either mobile or desktop. But also you should update the app bc it's probably a security liability at this point.

Here is a post from 2023 on how to add to your filtered terms list:

also twt really needs to separate the hash tags from the char count. if they're gonna pretend like they're tumblr or at least a suitable replacement for tumblr, they might as well take the initiative.

If you're still on Twitter, fuck you. :) Stop validating the Nazi bar.

I said "at least" 2023. It's older than that. I just couldn't be bothered to go find an older post.

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

"Men and women being friends with each other is literally normal. Don't be a controlling freak."

"If you have to abuse a child to keep order in your classroom then you're a bad teacher."

Look at this again: If you deprive your child of love, or abuse them, they'll fall for the first person to be kind to them and try to get shacked up way too young.

This young coyote was playing around in the dirt, digging and jumping around until he finally found the prize- a tissue or something 😂. It was almost dark, so a little challenging getting the shots. Los Angeles County, June 2026.

Jessie Everson, another artist I've been following for a bit on insta!! He just opened up his own etsy shop for some of his designs, and while I don't use Etsy a lot, ik how much good reviews and sales factor into the algorithm or whatever that helps genuine sellers stand out from dropshippers (and unfortunately, there are quite a few AI-generated "formline" pieces by dropshippers that float to the top when you keyword search the artstyle)

So consider buying a sticker or two from him and leaving a five star review to help him get a footing on Etsy- I'm sure he'll appreciate it!!

Namaygoosisagagun First Nation/Collins has burned to the ground. The entire community is nothing but ashes after being quickly consumed by wildfires. They did not have any support from emergency services, and no one offered aid. The community saved themselves by escaping into boats because no one came.

Mishkeegogamang and Cat Lake have lost power. Families are ending up in shelters with nothing. Armstrong, Lac La Croix, Whitesand, Gull Bay, Lac des Mille Lacs are currently in the fires path and all members are being evacuated.

All this loss, all this devastation, and it was entirely preventable.

After steadily underfunding wildland firefighting and purposefully excluding Indigenous wildland firefighters and Indigenous wildfire organizations from wildfire operations, firefighter training, decisionmaking, and resource exchanges, in 2025, Doug Ford slashed the forest firefighting budget.

It's hard to ignore his decision to cut funding and leave us out of adequate fire training (even though we've lived with forest fires for thousands of years—far longer than settlers have been in Canada—and made sure fires like the ones we're all seeing today were prevented through kinisitotēn) when, despite making up less than 5% of the population, we account for 42% percent of all wildfire evacuations in Canada.

And when we are successfully evacuated, we face discrimination and racism—like Kashechewan—because it's always been easier to blame us than it is to blame the true culprit: denialism, corportate greed, and colonization.

The people of Collins and every other impacted community deserve better.

Right now, the AFN is currently accepting donations to help Collins First Nation. If you're able to, please consider donating.

ONWA (Ontario Native Women's Association) is another great place to donate to. They have outreach vans going to motels and inns and offering food, water, resources, and cultural support to those impacted by the wildfires.

Other places to consider donating to are Mikinakoos Emergency Fund, Red Cross, True North Aid, Indigenous Climate Action. You can also send donations directly to Whitesand First Nation via e-transfer ([email protected]) and they request that you add your full name in the e-transfer comment section to receive a tax receipt.

*Before sending money, verify that the appeal appears on an official First Nation, Tribal Council or registered charity channel.
