Canada is a Huron word. It means Village. Cultrual appropriation from Native reight from the start. Yes I have problems with the Olympics trotting out Native peoples trying to show the world how “great canada is to its first nations” No marketing imagery ever could erase these ongoing legacies of a history of colonial …genocide in Canada (and elsewhere). As this article points out, there are significant political issuse in Indigenous Canada that the games are glassing over and the games are marketing Native culture as homogenous and interchangeable. Why else would they be using an artic cultures symbol for a logo, totem poles ( Pac NW) and grass dancers (Plains). Fuck you Canada, and Fuck you olympic committee for being the same old colonizers in a glossy new package.

Bree True love is usually the result of self-delusion and substance abuse. (Updated 4 hours, 31 minutes ago) Bree filled her car, got valentine candy, vacumed car, got milk, and spent 15 minutes wondering why the plus size section of target is litterally 5 shirts, 3 dresses and 2 skirts, and why they carry a 34 EE bra but not 44C. Umm I think 44 C is more common. (Updated 6 hours, 39 minutes ago) Bree is going to go fill up her car, maybe get some valentine candy. (Updated 8 hours, 2 minutes ago) Bree …. wait for it…. wait for it….. ok yeah I dont think its coming. Stupid SnoMG. (Updated 8 hours, 20 minutes ago) Bree got up at 8 checked her email… went back to bed, got up at noon, looked outside, no snow. Hrmm. I could have done errands. (Updated 9 hours, 9 minutes ago) Bree has a snow day! I feel like Im 12! (Updated 21 hours, 52 minutes ago) Bree Don’t worry, Milhouse.

(Updated 2 days, 22 hours, 48 minutes ago) Bree made box lunches for the week that where bellpepper and bean salad with chicken and berrys and greek yogurt honey and nuts. I got sick of salads.
