One of our parks has an abstract statue in it of someone reclining.

In Nov 2012, an artist made a sign as a joke, “Dude Chilling Park”, which looked exactly like our official Parks Board signs (except for the official park boards seal). 

The Vancouver Parks Board removed the sign but, after a whole lot of petitions, they put in an official one a year and a half later, also “Dude Chilling Park”, but now with the proper seal attached.

 Fast forward 7 years later. We have horrible floods. A barge washes up on Sunset Beach and gets grounded there. It has yet to be removed.

The Vancouver Parks Board, unprompted, adds a “Barge Chilling Beach” sign.

…Also, they announced this by tweet:

the actor playing sokka in the live action avatar: the last airbender show is white and pretending to be indigenous

link to the thread with proof 

“How ‘pretendians’ undermine the rights of Indigenous people” +  “History of false claims to Indigenous identity” for any potential white people playing dumb about pretendians, whitewashing, and the long history of white people lying about being indigenous

it’s also a useful reminder that everyone is still alive. i’m not sure what we’re supposed to do if we notice a howler is missing.

My neighborhood evacuated due to the fire. We’re all scattered now, almost lost. We’re in cities that are not our own, and voiceless.

I haven’t heard a single howl. 8 pm is silent now, which is somehow the worst aspect of this. It passes almost without notice.

Someone on the site asked if we could still howl, regardless of our location. Maybe we’d find our neighbors that way.

i sure hope not

who's to say

that's between me and God

i'll tell you for $100

i don't think so, why?

not to my knowledge
