Today I’m remembering the thousands of Sikhs who were murdered and displaced by the Indian state during the November 1984 Sikh Genocide.
The impact of that violence continues to be felt decades later by survivors and families still waiting for justice. Today, this is exacerbated by India’s transnational repression, including the murder of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil and death threats to over a dozen Canadians, including former NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.
Our party will continue to recognize this painful episode for what it is: a genocide. And we will continue to call for a full investigation to honour those lost and bring justice to their families.

This scene is forever ingrained in my brain. Every time I see this scene & hear Marco Antonio Solis’s Si no te hubieras ido, I tear up.
Such a profoundly raw and subversive film about sexuality, class & friendship w/ Mexican youths at the tail end of el PRI’s reign.

When someone disrespects u in a way that’s makes u realize how negatively they’ve always viewed you that shit is so easy. I run a strict ass dictatorship here I can’t abandon myself like that anymore for the sake of having a friend

The National Film Board of Canada was founded in 1939 by John Grierson who invented the term "documentary" The first Canadian fiction films in the 60s, Le Chat dans le sac and Nobody Waved Goodbye, pretended to be docs to trick the NFB for funding. We have a long history of this.

I wish positivity was more recognized as a quality of resilience. People always think I am naive, sheltered or just naturally optimistic, but it does take much more strength to be positive than it does to wallow

it’s actually okay if people don’t want to experience a better version of you due to harm you caused.

Anne Carson, with one of my all-time favorite opening lines and one of my all-time favorite closing lines.
ALT O Small Sad Ecstasy of Love Anne Carson I like being with you all night with closed eyes. What luck—here you are coming along the stars! I did a road trip all over my mind and heart and there you were kneeling by the roadside with your little toolkit fixing something. Give me a world, you have taken the world I was.
