annelise!

Winter is harsh, and her body can no longer endure it. I try to stay strong in front of our daughters, but my fear of losing her breaks my heart every day. Even in pain, she smiles for our children to hide her suffering. DONATE NOW

The tent no longer protects us, and the freezing nights suffocate us. All we dream of is a warm room… a safe place that can save her life and give our children warmth and security.

Please don’t leave us alone in this biting cold.

Even the smallest donation can save her life and bring warmth and safety to our family.

i'd like to take the time and bring attention to the genocide currently happening in palestine. in the video, this poor man is not only crying for bread but because bombs took his home, his family, and his dignity. this isn't just about hunger, this is about war and people being erased in real time. if you support israel, this page is not for you and if you claim "the news doesn't explain everything" history does. educate yourself. don't be ignorant, because as your reading my stories and your liking the thousands of stories out there, palestinian people are suffering and dying.

i do create things for entertainment, and i know my platform isn't huge, but even so, attention could mean everything. on my welcome page i have a website linked where you could help palestinians suffering today.

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.

this ceasefire is not an end to our solidarity with gaza. we will all be here waiting and praying for palestine to be wholly liberated from the occupation and watch her people be happy and free.

in the meantime, please keep donating to palestinian fundraisers. it is essential to support families planning on rebuilding.

alaa is a mother of two young children. her fundraiser has been verified. i request you to help her by sharing and donating to her gofundme.
