Apparently Jackie works in Michigan now. Do you think it’s shift work where she stays out of town for a stretch of days or does she drive to and from Michigan every shift?
i hope she commutes daily.

the thing about canadian nationalism is that it exists in a perpetual state of relativity to our perception of american jingoism. their patriotism is loud, aggressive, vulgar. our patriotism is quiet and polite. which of course provides the exact conditions needed for our own brand of chauvinism to fester under the glossy, collective self-delusion so many canadians whole-heartedly and uncritically embrace; that we are the "good ones"
so we mock patriotic americans for their devotion to/celebration of the great myth of the american dream, and all the while we fail to address the lies we tell ourselves about who we are as a country. we have medical care! marriage equality, abortion rights, social support networks, our police don't shoot unarmed people of colour in the streets. a socialist utopia. no don't think about it too hard. don't look into any of the above statements or address any of the structural inequalities we refuse to admit exist. residential schools? a tragedy, of course, but an anomaly. disabled people lose all financial support if they get married? well surely that's for their own good. we once denied entry to autistic immigrants? well that's all in the past, we take them now! and look at all the ukranians we welcomed so lovingly! the syrians? oh well that was a different situation you know, not so cut and dry you see. turn your attention (again. and again) to the amazing work we did in rwanda. I'm so sorry, what's that you're saying? somalia? never heard of it!
it's okay. it's all okay. we're still not as bad as america

I LOVE when England’s brothers get incorporated into the FACE family dynamics as Al and Matt’s uncles but, I think people forget that France has a sister so...
Here are some ✨Auntie Monaco✨ head canons~
-LOVES her nephews to death
-rich wine aunt
-showers Alfred and Matthew with cash every time she visits
-buys the boys designer clothes/accessories for their birthday, Christmas, or just because. Even when they were little, she’d get them those little designer suits for toddlers.
-Al and Matt always begging to go to Auntie’s house either for the summer or for a weekend.
-she babysat them once at her house and they ended up drawing on her expensive couches and she nearly had a heart attack. She couldn’t stay mad at them though and still brings it up now that they’re grown just to hear them groan in embarrassment.
-Arthur and Francis tell her not to spoil the boys but she NEVER listens and gives them everything lol
-once gave them too much sugar before bed and she couldn’t get them to sleep (especially Alfred) and she called Arthur and Francis because she just didn’t have the energy and was out of ideas to calm them down.
-Matt is always told how he resembles his aunt.
-if we make this a FACES situation then I can see her finding the cutest designer dresses for Seychelles and gifting her bows for her hair so she can be just like auntie.

People who sell handspun yarn, how do you manage it when the profit margins are so razor thin?
I'm unable to work and money is tight so I've been considering how I can contribute financially and attempt to save up for the future but boy, things look lean.
If you sell your handspun, I'd love to hear from you either in my DMs or the replies/reblogs/tags because I have to make this work somehow...
