As a USA American, Canada is the better version of us, so it makes sense that poutine is Canadian

It was legitimately distressing how uninterested Americans were in Ketchup chips

This is the food of my people and you are rejecting it

The one time I have ever had ketchup chips I was the perfect ratio of drunk to hungry that the massive hit of savory was almost a religious experience

Fuck I want some Poutine

The silver lining appears to be that it's not outing anyone's name. It asks you and whatever you write becomes your first name. If I'm wrong though, please correct me.

I'm no great fan of ketchup chips but how dare you, America.

I didn't run my heater the whole 5 days I was out of town and my apartment is so goddamn cold

Sweet tea is poison and kiiiiinda tastes like it too.

But I drink bubble tea, or whatever the kids are calling it these days, so I’m not exactly in a position to judge.

I take my bubble tea unsweetened.
The pearls are still sweet, so it's not sugarless, but it's much more refreshing.

I usually get the smallest amount of sugar they can give me, but it needs just a little something to really sing. Unsweetened tastes too much like just straight up green tea, and then I just get sad I didn’t get plain green tea.

Just logged on to my OKCupid account for the first time in ages, to see if it needed to be destroyed before my real name gets attached to it. The me that answered all these questions back whenever I registered was a totally unrecognizable person. Even though I consider it all largely positive change, It's kind of frightening how much of it there's been in such a short time, kind of undermines my sense of self.

Anyway, I think I'm just going to kill the account and start over somewhere else. What OKCupid is doing is unsafe for a lot of their users, and even if I could personally weather that storm easily enough, I'd rather send them a message that they've fucked up.

I killed my account I just messed up my pictures and said:
I am freed from the vegetable prison from where I have spent millennia
My real name is not for a human tongue to pronounce and has brought ruin to many

I have failed I go now to the undying lands to the west

I left in the parts where said Online dating seems to be akin to going to home depot and selecting the rope you want to hang yourself with
I also left in I am not looking for casual sex this is awkward enough


Generally I really felt I gave it what it was worth since no one seemed to be up for even a chat on it

Just like your heart.

Your skin, however, remains smooth, warm, and ever so lovely under the light of an incandescent glow.

Or indeed, over it!

In a lamp like fashion!

I very much enjoy that GG being made into a lamp has proven such a lasting joke.

UPDATE IT'S STILL COLD

Put the fucking heating on

Drink tea until you can feel nothing but the warm, golden embrace.

I'm about to go back to my apartment after a week of being away and I am so scared of how cold it will be.

I left the heat on, technically, but greatly reduced.

Decomposey

The heat in our house was busted for like a week just before Xmas, so along with space heaters I also bought an electric blanket.

Electric Blanket is the way and the light. It's like a blanket fresh out of the dryer, but always!

Einzel

I guess that's a pro to having cats and plants in the house - guilt to keep the heat on?

Electric Blanket is great when you have a mild fever and are in the chills phase.

Our boiler was bust over Christmas and has only just been brought back to life today

The electric blanket made getting into bed super easy when our bedroom hit 10C and out again super difficult

Until you turn it up to max by mistake and end up burning your bottom

My heat is off right now and has been for two days, my electric blanket is making it bearable

The heater broke in my first apartment, the land lord was a shitty hypocritical Christian slum lord, it took him weeks to fix it himself because he was too cheap to hire anyone to do it.

I did end up not paying rent that month and he did give us a couple of electric space heaters

But they were old and and you can't leave those on when you leave and I had a dog and I felt really terrible for him

He would burrow into a huge pile of blankets and basically hibernate

your dog is my spirit animal

My spirit animal is a seal

there are better, less problematic ways to express this sentiment

Don't use that phrase

Alright then, apologies for my ignorance and any offence caused.

bowen

I'm Native American folks.

bowen

They're also not strictly Native American, many cultures across the world have totemic and spirit guides, hope that helps.

Kadith

to me in this context it still feels trivializing of the religious and cultural aspects of a minority

but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Your dog is my dog

Give me my dog back

You're both terrible and should feel ashamed.

In love related news, I was actually feeling like I had finally gotten over my abusive ex these past few weeks. Less feeling general anxious about the possibility of seeing her or having to deal with her in a professional setting.

and then last night i had a weird dream where part of it was her getting back in touch and me suddenly becoming emotionally dependent again.

just wanna carve this garbage brain of mine out with a spoon.

In my NA roots (Iroquois), it's more "guardian spirit" which can come from anything and everything. Rocks, trees, animals, nature itself. It's cool enough to learn about. Unfortunately I don't live on the reservation and I'm only tacitly involved with the culture at large since most of my family doesn't really see themselves as NAs anymore. The US's governments plans to erase our culture worked a little too well I think. In my case we're slightly more white than NA so that weighs a bit more I think on us (also I look white so I get all the benefits of being white too). The Iroquois just opened a "Great Law of Peace" center in my area and I've been meaning to check it out but haven't gotten around to it.

It's funny though whenever this topic comes up, we're not really ever upset by things like Redmen or spirit animals. It's a point of contention that a lot of people like to think we're upset with, but whenever I have talked with NAs from my family or from the tribe(s) at large it's almost always "when white people speak for us" that really gets them going. (I'm not upset with you at all here, I don't even know if you're white or another NA tribe).

I was mostly upset when my school changed from redmen to whatever the fuck it is now, redhawks or whatever. Felt cool to be part of that pride.
