IMO (Kyuquot-Checleset woman here) Pendleton is a totally acceptable way to appreciate Native patterns. What's not okay is using things without finding out whether a crest or pattern belongs to a specific family or has to be earned a specific way.

The crisis pregnancy centers really worry me. My MP actively supports my local one, and lends it a LOT of totally undeserved and false legitimacy.

There's one in Nanaimo and my MP actively supports it. Ughh

Oh for sure. My MP is a batshit anti choicer, and one of Woodsworth's cronies.

That just makes my heart hurt. If they used that time and energy actually helping women/couples facing unexpected pregnancy (mentoring, driving to and from appointments etc) and lobbying for better welfare/maternity policies they could do a LOT. But NOOOOOO.

Like I said, that couple is almost cute. Almost. In a Wes Anderson-y way.

That couple is almost cute, but it's still a huge waste of time IMO. There was a stink from the conservatives and 'libertarians' on my campus when a right to life group wasn't allowed to put up their doll part and ketchup displays, but they still weren't allowed—thank goodness.

What they do clearly isn't peaceful though, screaming in women's faces and calling them murderers and whores. Makes me shake my damn head.

Sigh. Indigenous people getting fucked over, again.

This article and the one yesterday have been an eye opener for me as a Canadian. I've never seen protesters outside an abortion clinic (at least not in BC, New Brunswick and Quebec might be a different story), and it baffles me as to why it's allowed.

Murda Business by Iggy Azalea is a must.

Because a) it's a really insular culture and b) most of the people just speak plattdeutch or low german. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't do much of anything.

Mmm, yes. Thinking about shivasana is the only thing that gets me through classes sometimes.

BWAHAHAH. That is the fucking best.

AMEN. Awkward pose, full eagle and full crow are easily my least favourite

I really hope she's made contact with Jenna Miscavidge, girl seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

I paid a LOT less for my person-sized wristlet, which has more material.

That sounds like something a Vancouverite would do. No joke.

It's from when all we had were oral traditions, you were basically paying off everyone you knew to remember.

Kid has swag, love it!
