Don’t you feel we get OVER taxed as Canadians? The government takes soo much from us that we don’t even have enough to live. Especially at a time like this where every dollar counts. We need those extra dollars they are running off with.

No.

Taxes pay for my healthcare, public transportation, science funding, and income supports for low income and disabled people. Its a right wing talking point to cut taxes, which as a whole will lead to cuts in important social programs and public services.

What needs to happen, is the super rich have to be taxed a lot more.

The current tax level for low to middle income people is fine, imo. Low income people do not pay significant taxes outside of GST and other sales taxes.

“let us mourn her with a traditional ballad”

why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.

Not my usual content, but I made something I wanted to share...

hi um my liege y-you asked me to um. report back to you when the prisoner you sent into the labyrinth had been, um, dealt with by th-the minotaur. well y-your highness t-there seems to be a bit of an, ahem, issue. no, no the prisoner is still in the labyrinth, y-yes the minotaur found them. i-it just ah, um, it appears that the. it appears that the prisoner and the minotaur are, um, they're-

As negotiations between the AMPTP and T.A.G. (@animationguild) continue forward... we STILL need to continue supporting all the talented artists and animators who help bring "Craig of the Creek", "Jessica's Big Little World" and DOZENS of other animated films and series' to life, as they're fighting for better payments, better work schedules, and better protection against A.I.

We encourage ALL OF YOU to spread the word across the internet by sharing this post to everyone you know, or making your own posts using #stand with animation and help keep the Animation Industry from becoming a A.I. generated nightmare.

good afternoon girl we're in the water

You can tell if someone's actually pro intersex liberation by seeing their reaction to the phrase "abolish the sex binary" Yes I said sex. Like biological sex. It's not binary.

just truly bonkers how much i love lying down..........like being horizontal? unparalleled

I hate that thing some people do where it's like. "I left my wallet on the table to see if you'd say anything" or "I wanted to see if you'd wash the car if I stopped doing it"

Cause like

I dont know about anyone else

But I am perpetually hovering three inches above the strong subconscious belief that everyone knows what they're doing at all times except me, so if you change your normal patterns and I notice, then I will assume it is an intentional choice with a thought-out plan behind it and I will avoid interfering

And if I don't notice, because I won't, because why would I, because not much bothers me and if you don't say anything to indicate you are bothered then how would I KNOW

Concept: Depressing dystopian factory where everything is gray and samey and the workers are called by their employee numbers by an ominous deep voice.

But it's a really great place to work with high salaries, excellent benefits, and a flexible working schedule with plenty of paid leave. They just like the dystopian aesthetic.

The way most autism literature describes "literal interpretation" is often not at all similar to how I experience it. Teenage me even thought I couldn't be autistic because I've always been able to learn metaphors easily.

In fact, I love wordplay of all kinds. Teenage me was fascinated to learn all the types of figurative language there are in poetry and literature.

But paperwork and questionnaires are hard, because there's so much they don't state clearly. Or they don't leave room for enough nuance.

"List all the jobs you've had, with start and end dates." What if I don't remember the exact day or month? Is the year enough?

"Have you been suffering from blurred vision?" Well, if I take off my glasses the whole world is blurred, but I'm fairly sure that's not what the intake form at the optometrist is asking.

Or the infamous (and infuriatingly stereotypical) "Would you rather go to a library or a party?" What sort of party? Where? Who's there? I work at a library. Am I currently at the library for work or pleasure? Does it have a good collection?

It's not common figures of speech that confound me. It's ambiguity, in situations that aren't supposed to be ambiguous.

The term ‘art brut’ or, in English, naive/outsider art, is a little patronizing. There’s no difference between Van Gogh and the art brut people besides good publicity/the presence of a dedicated art dealer brother and his wife. But oh shit did I love the art brut museum. These artists made art even when they were forbidden to do so. Children from occupied Algeria forced to work as maids in French soldiers’ homes made unspeakably gorgeous paintings. Inmates in psychiatric hospitals, denied paint, literally scratched sculptures into walls with broken spoons. Autistic soldiers drew on military surplus fabric. Women experienced erotic mania and devoted their lives to their loves— opera, spiritualism, the prince of Austria, and painting. Bedridden people churned out exquisite technical drawings without any kind of ‘art education.’ Men who could not read instead used letters and paragraphs as abstract designs, with no symbolic value except as a gestalt whole. People will make art literally no matter what.

they hate me for the way im always worried that theyr mad at me

'i should draw' 'i should paint' 'i should write fic' 'i should read' 'i should embroider' 'i shou-

I think some people forget that some literature and some media is meant to be deeply uncomfortable and unsettling. It's meant to make you have a very visceral reaction to it. If you genuinely can't handle these stories then you are under no obligation to consume them but acting as if they have no purpose or as if people don't have a right to tell these stories, stories that often relate to the darkest or most disturbing parts of life, then you should do some introspection.

some of my favorite moments from these olympics so far:

every badass shooter, but especially these stand-out stars kim ye-ji and yusuf dikec

simone biles and katie ledecky yet again proving themselves as the goats they are

every time simone and rebeca andrade cheered each other on

brazil out there winning the picture game

stephen mr pommel horse guy nedoroscik getting bronze and his very own cape

julian alfred (fastest woman alive, 100m run), thea lafond (triple jump), and kaylia neymour (uneven bars) all making history for their respective countries

same for carlos yulo after winning TWO gold medals in two days

imane khalif guaranteeing herself at least a bronze metal in the face of all the harassment thrown her way

remco evenepoel's bike broke down during the road race but he had such a big lead that he still managed to get gold with an awesome winning shot

the women's high jump final came down to nicola olyslagers, who was sitting down after each jump to rate herself on how she did, and yaroslava mahuchikh, who entered a sleeping bag and closed her eyes between jumps

hello for those planning on voting for kamala harris. could y’all start emailing or calling her specifically to pressure her to stop the genocide. even if you’re a decided voter, mention you are undecided and that this is the issue you would flip on. here I’ll leave a link where you can email

I have feelings about this

Please reblog for a greater sample size. I’m having a convo with my mom about this.

Sometimes I agree with the kid on Instagram reels that said “I don’t suffer from autism I just have it” and sometimes I suffer from the autism
