Legally recognized or not, trans women have always been women, are still women, and will always be women.

Reconciliation for a lot of Canadians is Indigenous people either staying quiet or acting out a cartoon version of Indigeneity.
Sadly we're on to opposition. This lady says she "loves the Indigenous" but the room is full of "a lot of hatred, a lot of bitterness". Reconciliation is a "meshing" and "forgiveness". "I had trouble even sitting over here with the Musquem, b/c they looked at me and didn't want me sitting with them"

At the foot of Taylor Glacier, in Taylor Valley, Antarctica, is a "Blood Falls", an ominous and disturbing natural phenomenon.
First observed by a 1911 expedition led by geologist Thomas Griffith Taylor (for whom the valley & glacier are named), it was originally thought to be red algae, but...

I’m genuinely dead serious when I say: art. Art in school, art in communities, scholarships and government jobs in art like during The New Deal, special apprenticeships for arts that we’re losing at at alarming rate, funding for indigenous art practice and learning. Throw money at arts
The left needs a clear vision for the future, and that includes more than what we want to abolish. It also has to include what we want to build, what we want to keep, and what we want to return to.

The necklace I picked up at the craft market last night, made by Inuk silver worker Lavinia van Heuvelen. The wings 'flap' ❤️

Got paid overtime to go to an art market event, spent way more than the overtime I made. Fulfilling my division's goal of stimulating the arts economy though 😅

I am reminded of a study which explored morality among NT and autistic people, and concluded that NT people tended to do the right thing more often when their generosity was known, and ND people did the right thing regardless.
The conclusion of the study was that ND people were rigid.
Yeah, right

In the middle of the night EM Kooneeliusie of Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut posted this photo on Nunavut Photos of the Arctic, wondering what the mysterious dome beneath the moon could be. Suggestions came in: it looks like it’s a frozen dome of lit ice crystals of a winter lunar halo. Amazing catch!

Watching 2018 Les Mis. I'm pretty sure Javert is autistic and his special interest is the law.

Frost flowers galore in Sanikiluaq as captured by one of my favourite Nunavut photographers Sarah Meeko. You need a quick cold freeze to create the crystals for frost flowers as the ice forms. Beautiful!

This is such a cool collaboration. Nunavut should be sending artists to Korea as well.
South Korean artist incorporates Arctic imagery, mythology in artwork
“What is the shape of the soul?” That was the question South Korean artist Kim Seola posed to Inuit artists in Kinngait Studios during her two visits to the Arctic.
