Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?
They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care
It should NOT fall on Indigenous people's shoulders to keep this known still. We’ve been doing that for generations at this point and NO ONE wants to listen to us.
We’re tired, mourning and constantly reopening our trauma and pain to keep people caring about us. It’s terrible.
I should start by noting that I am white, and not Canadian, and that if op wants me to remove this comment for any reason, please let me know.
This is a map of all the residential schools in Canada:
[link to the article it’s attached to, it’s interactable there, so you can get a better look around]
Each dot on this map represents a residential school. Blue dots mean the school is considered completely searched. Yellow dots mean they are either in the process of being searched or there are plans to be searched. Red dots indicate that no search has happened and that no search is currently planned
There were more than 130 residential schools in Canada. This map suggests that only six have been fully searched, and a little more than a dozen partially searched (I counted 15 yellow dots). That leaves at least 109 schools completely untouched.
Let that sink in; if 6,000-7,000 unmarked, indigenous children’s graves were found by searching less than a fifth of all the schools, how many are still undiscovered.
Wikipedia estimates that the body count could be over 50,000, and honestly, that could be a low estimate
[ID: A map of Canada with dozens of dots on it, 6 of which are blue and 7 of which are yellow; the rest are red. Later there is a screenshot from wikipedia reading, “Estimates range from 3,200 to over 50,000 children that were killed. Most of the recorded student deaths at residential schools took place before the 1950s. /end ID]
The residential school system was a calculated, open, and forthrightly declared attempt at the total genocide of all indigenous peoples in this country. It was literally meant to wipe them out entirely, through a combination of attrition and assimilation.
Never forget that this is what Canada is really built upon.
These are the residential schools in the U.S. I've mapped out the ones in California and there are articles about burials on these sites, some marked and some not.
I hope Secretary Haaland's Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative investigates every single one; their report is Due on April 1, 2022,
reminder that genocide doesn’t just include ending people’s lives, it includes eradicating their culture. forced assimilation of an entire people is an attempt at genocide.
Also a little add in: states like Texas didn’t have any residential schools because they kicked all the natives out. Not because they’re better.
Texas didn't just do that, early settlers actually built closed towns for natives that were similar to residential schools but for all ages & meant to educate natives on how to live civilized lives, while also not being allowed to leave. And then when that didn't work they got killed or pushed out. We learned about it in Texas History and it was really just godawful looking at all the tribes and where they used to be vs now. The format of the residential school is very old and took many forms.
when programs fucking autocorrect <3 to ❤️ and :) to 😃,,,, do you have any idea what you’ve just done?? what you just fucking destroyed ?
Imagine being the only person alive who can say this
buzz aldrin and neil armstrong liked to do a thing where they’d tell unfunny jokes at parties about being on the moon and when people were confused they’d go “guess you had to have been there”
i love adding explosions mid sentence. like i could be in the middle of rambling about something or i could be attempting to be funny and then i'll j💥
thank you. please dont do this to me
what is your problem
HELLO ????????
okay we need to have an intervention.
i've noticed that people don't leave the same kind of unhinged compliments under fanfics that visual artists usually receive (eg, "i want to eat your art"), so i've come up with a list that you need to start employing when your friends send you their WIPs and when your favorites update on ao3 but you're having a hard time commenting something that sounds intelligent and you still want to support them
- "you're like if [famos author] (eg, Victor Hugo if the fic is angst) was into [fandom]"
- "well THIS has been added to my pre-sleep daydream schedule"
- "this fic invaded my mind and consumed my brain like a spore"
- "I'M LOSING SLEEP OVER THIS ONE, FOLKS"
- "yOu'Ve AlReAdY lEfT kUdOs HeRe"
- "this fic has me scratching at my yellow wallpaper, it's so good"
- "this fic has me checking under my floorboards for the heart of a kind man i murdered, it's so good"
- "i'm making my parents read this"
- "i know only one chapter is out so far, but i'm going to print this out, staple it together, and put it on my bookshelf next to the canon material"
- "this fic gave me another mental illness"
- (you can only do this one once) "i made an ao3 account specifically to bookmark this"
- "i'm going to print this out so i can eat the words on the paper"
and a couple that are just nice (without the feral nature):
- "i made a custom playlist to listen to while i read this fic"
- "this fic reminds me of [song]"
- "i really liked the part where [x], it really stuck with me"
- "i really liked this line, [quote the line,] it was so well-written!"
- artists: draw fanart of the fic!! it doesn't matter if you think your art skills are good and it doesnt matter if it's just a sketch!! let the author see it!!
- make a moodboard!! for the fic!! let the author see it!!

Remembered this guide from the rage era, hope this helps (pretty sure C is impossible though, me and 4 guys tried peeing upside down in the scouts)
Get this post to 10k notes and I'll do C to the best of my ability
