AUUUUGHHHHH MY HEAD HURTS SO BAD

You aren’t supposed to wear hoodies while handling/riding horses are you fucking stupid 😭

you claimed to have put research into this panel but, as someone who used to be a horse “girl” (I still love horses, I’m just unable to ride anymore), I can tell that the most basic of research AKA horse riding dresscode was not followed to any degree here. Hoodies are dangerous for horse riding, for both you and the horse. Not to mention, this is Australia, why would you put yourself through that WHILE horse riding?? It’s one of the easiest sports to get heatstroke while doing, especially given the requirement of pants or trousers to keep yourself and the horse scratch free.

You’re so goddamn over dedicated to keeping all your characters personal styleless and butch that you would disregard actual horseback riding dresscodes. Genuinely funny considering you traced most of this panel. You could have just put my girl into the outfits the women were already wearing you know. Then she’d have a distinct style from every other fucking character!!

I woke up today to the Johnny Gaudreau news and I couldn’t believe it. My thoughts go out to their family and I just can’t even imagine the grief of losing two brothers in one night.

I am eternally amazed at how sensitive the portuguese are at the subject of colonialism. The idea that we practised some sort of soft colonialism is so ingrained in our minds people will be fighting for their lives to defend this idea (which, btw, is still a remnant of Salazar's propaganda). Brazil's colonialism is such a hyper sensitive topic you can see the vein popping on the neck of the average Zé when someone even lightly mentions accountability. I dead ass remember my 7th grade teacher telling our class that Brazil's colonialism consisted of "jesuit priests playing music, which enticed the natives" and that was it (flutes too, to be precise, for some fucking reason) and everyone has just blindly believed this and refused to accept the actual horrible history we're a part of. Portuguese people will be fighting for their lives on technicalities. Say "The portuguese invented the slave trade" and Salvador over there will jump from under the table to explain that akshually african people were the ones to sell their own people as slaves!!! And askhually, slavery goes back for centuries!! You know what they mean, you know what needs to be discussed here, but my boy Salvador is on a mission. He doesn't even care that he's regurgitating fascist propaganda that was entirely built on ahistorical facts that specifically sought to promote colonialism and imperialism as a progressive idea, no, none of that matters. It matters that we are miserable people who will perpetually long for the past, look back on something utterly atrocious and willingly ignore the brutality of it, because we cannot come to terms with the fact that today we live in a country that's ripe with corruption, unlivable wages and high cost of living; we cannot come to terms with the fact that we did all this colonialism just to be a poor fucking country that's being exploited by digital nomads; in fact, we just cannot tolerate the idea that we're just a summer resort for americans and brits and have absolutely no economical relevance in the world, not even cultural, but hey, cultural meaning can be invented. So we look back, we wail and cry and look back at these centuries when we pillaged, enslaved and destroyed because at least we meant something, because we once divided the world in two with Spain, that's how big our balls were once, and because once people knew who we were, they our name beyond the one football player. We purposefully disregard the horrid shit. We coast through life without ever, ever acknowledging it ever existed. We're taught in school colonialism was soft core at best, tell some bullshit about some priests with flutes and be done with it, and then when someone finally confronts us for our history, on god, we'll be fighting with everything we have to prove to you that our colonialism was just fine, and we, white men of the 16th century, showed these countries the meaning of civilisation! Orgulhosamente sós, am i right bitches

Blocked out her name because we can hope she's simply ignorant.

Had to respond to someone ignorant today.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day btw

What elderly person I replied to said:

"No idea why people want The Native Americans celebrated over Columbus.

Yes Columbus took slaves.

So did the Native Americans. Enslaving each other a lot more than Columbus did. In fact The Native Americans took their African Slaves with them on the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma and set up a slave territory there.

Nothing wrong with Native Americans getting their recognition- but should be another day- not Columbus Day. My opinion. To each their own."

What I replied:

"You used a key word here, slavery. Only America, which Columbus didn't even step foot on, celebrated him. He was despised by Europe for his inhumane practices. The only reason he ever went to Spain was because he was wanted in Europe for molesting a 14 year old girl. When he committed a Genocide and ran child sex slavery rings using Taino boys and girls, the Spanish during the Spanish Inquisition told him to stop that he was insane. He was a monster. And the only thing he is actually believed to have discovered was Syphilis, because he couldn't keep his penis out of random animals. In this case Llamas.

America only began celebrating to justify Slavery, claiming his brutal and monstrous way, was the American way.

Columbus deserves no special recognition, for he doesn't deserve any fake awards gifted to him long after his death.

But Indigenous people on the other hand have survived genocide after genocide. They have not let people like Columbus or America wipe them off the face of the Earth, they have persevered and held onto who they are. A little over 40 years ago it was illegal for Indigenous people to teach their language or heritage to younger people within their tribes. And less than 70 years ago the government and church were openly still kidnapping and murdering Indigenous children.

Columbus doesn't deserve a day, and if it wasn't for Slavery in America, he wouldn't have one. Indigenous people on the other hand, atleast need a day of recognition after all America has done to them for simply being on the land they deserve. Land America is still breaking treatys to steal."

(And yes, there is a chance that Columbus discovered Syphilis by fucking a Llama.)

the east asian in me boils when i hear people (mostly white influencers) say “crystal candy” because it’s a traditional japanese candy called kohakutou

i feel absolutely horrible for connor bedard this was literally the worst option for him i would rathered any of other team. chicago doesn’t deserve jackshit.

chicago was legitimately last on everyone's list.... it makes me so depressed to see that. they don't even know how to keep young players safe and that organization doesn't deserve a franchise rebuild after purposely tanking like they have and covering up a scandal like that.
