WOW! We didn’t get this boulder opal being split on camera, because we
didn’t think anything much worth filming was inside – talk about being
wrong! Sound on for this video. 😂 Sue
if you don’t have access to poorly-secured and un-backed-up debt records, you can help do this via legitimate means by donating to rollingjubilee.org– they buy debt (the way debt collectors do, for steeply discounted prices – like $20 to buy $500 in outstanding debt owed by someone) and just… forgive it, so it doesn’t need to be paid by the person on whom it’s a burden.
Darlene Necan, a homeless woman from northern Ontario, plans to move into the cabin she built herself after the provincial government withdrew its charges against her in court today.
The First Nations woman was facing charges from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for breaching the Public Lands Act and was facing more than $10,000 in fines after constructing a one-room cabin on Crown land where her parents once lived in Savant Lake, Ont.
The creator of Golden Kamuy (the anime this video is from) actually had his story supervised by an Ainu (indigenous Japanese people) language linguist and is actually, as far as i can tell from personal research, pretty closely accurate to how Ainu culture IS
The kid in the video is an Ainu child, and children are usually given disgusting sounding names to ward off sickness and ill-health
Later in life, they’re given their own unique names and aren’t actually named stuff like “boner” for the rest of their life
So this isn’t a case of “anime being anime”, it’s actually a culturally accurate representation of Japanese indigenous people who are often misrepresented

Truscum Hating Character of the Day: Edward Elric, a known nonbinary.
Charlene Kappianaq started noticing sores on the back of her two-year-old son’s legs in April.
Shortly after, her eight-year-old daughter developed a similar irritation on her fingers and palms that made it painful to hold a piece of paper.
Kappianaq and her family live in public housing in Igloolik, Nunavut: a three-plex apartment. They moved in December 2017 from another apartment.
Kappianaq didn’t know about the mould until after she moved; a chronic housing shortage in town has made it near impossible to move out.
“It’s all black and very stinky,” Kappianaq said. The mould grows in her kids’ room, her room, the living room, on windows, and under the oven. In order to stay on top of the infestation, Kappianaq washes her walls once a week with vinegar and baking soda.
