The Clouds, Like Swirls Of Cream Circling Through The Tea, Glowed Gold As The Late Fall Sun Set, Adding

The clouds, like swirls of cream circling through the tea, glowed gold as the late fall sun set, adding a sense of finality to the warmer, greener months. Orange, red, and yellow had long replaced the greens of the leaves as the days drew shorter and colder. Only a sparse few held their summer colours, like a final fleeting hope of better times.

image is a graphic of a chart, four columns across, three rows down, featuring three Canadian political parties: The New Democratic Party, the Liberal Party, and the Conservative. Chart indicates if each party offers policies that "meaningfully beneficial"; outlined here as defined as: "a collective plan or policy, either proposed or passed as of 2019 or later, that is a net positive for the overall quality of life of impacted individuals or otherwise removes or reduces existing obstacles and barriers". The second row addresses Healthcare. The parties score as follows: NDP. Yes: 1. Long-term funding for the Public Health Agency of Canada. 2. Extend healthcare services to include universal dental care; working with provincial partners, health professionals and dentists to develop a roadmap to incorporate universal dental care into Canada’s public health care system, and immediately deliver dental care coverage for people who don’t have any private insurance. 3. Prescription medication for mental health care will now be available free of cost to Canadians. 4. Federal re-investment in our health system to include eye care, hearing care, and Canadians struggling with infertility. Liberal: Yes: 1. Reduce wait times for healthcare. 2. Increase wages for personal support workers. 3. Ensuring Canadians have access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner. 4. Increase access to mental health services. 5. Modernize the health care system with standardized information. Conservative: No. 1.

Will not support any legislation to regulate abortion. 3. Will prohibit life altering medicinal or surgical interventions on minors under 18 to treat gender confusion or dysphoria. 4. Will not commit to keeping social programs like pharmacare. 5. There are no specifications on how the Conservative Party will fund or improve healthcare. The third row addresses Education. NDP: Yes. 1. Making post-secondary education part of our public education system. 2. Moving away from loans and significantly increasing access to non-repayable Canada Student Grants. 3. Permanently removing interest on all federal student loans. 4. Working towards a future where tuition is free. Liberal: Yes: 1. Increase the repayment assistance threshold to $50,000 for Canada Student Loan borrowers who are single. 2. Permanently eliminate the federal interest on Canada Student Loans and Canada Apprentice Loans to support young Canadians who choose to invest in post-secondary education. 3. Increase the refundable tax credit to 25% (from 15%). Conservative: No. 1. Removing post-secondary education funding from the Canada Social Transfer (federal funding distributed to provinces and territories) and creating an independent Canada Education Transfer (burden of funding is placed upon the provinces and territories). 2. Implementing Income Contingent Loans and providing a preferred interest rate on student loans post-graduation. The bottom text reads: Don't FAFO. Be informed about the policies you’re voting for. For example: These polices are collected from sources dated between 2019 and 2024 and may have been updated since. Be sure to read up on the latest!

The second row addresses Homelessness / Poverty, and Housing Support. The parties score as follows: NDP: Yes: 1. Create more social housing and other affordable options. 2. Work with the provinces and municipalities to fast-track the purchase, lease and conversion of hotels and motels for emergency housing relief until more permanent, community-based solutions are available. 3. Expand income security programs, beginning with seniors and people living with disabilities, to build towards a future where all individuals residing in Canada have access to a guaranteed livable basic income." Liberal: Yes: 1. Introduce a new Rent-to-Own program to help make it easier for renters to get on the path towards home ownership while renting. 2. Work with Indigenous partners to co-develop an Urban, Rural, and Northern Indigenous Housing Strategy. 3. Increase funding to the National Housing Co-Investment fund by a total of $2.7 billion over 4 years. Conservative: No. 1. Assisting in the provision of shelters and by recognizing, addressing and seeking solutions to contributing factors of homelessness. 2. Withhold transit and infrastructure funding from cities until sufficient high-density housing around transit stations is built and occupied. Cities will not receive money for transit until there are keys-in-doors. 3. Cut the bonuses and salaries, and if needed, fire the gatekeepers at CMHC if they are unable to speed up approval of applications for housing programs to an average of 60 days. The third row addresses Drug Crisis Support. NDP: Yes. 1. Work with the provinces and health professionals to create a safe supply of medically regulated alternatives to toxic street drugs, support overdose prevention sites and expand access to treatment on demand for people struggling with addiction. 2. Declare a public health emergency and commit to working with all levels of government, health experts and Canadians to end the criminalization and stigma of drug addiction, so that people struggling with addiction can get the help they need without fear of arrest, while getting tough on the real criminals - those who traffic in and profit from illegal drugs. 3. Launch an investigation into the role drug companies may have played in fueling the opioid crisis, and seek meaningful financial compensation from them. Liberal: Yes. 1. Introduce a comprehensive strategy to address problematic substance use to end the opioids crisis. 2. Invest $500 million to support the provinces and territories in providing access to a full-range of evidence-based treatment, recognizing that successful treatment is not determined by long-term abstinence. 3. Support provinces and territories in creating standards for substance use treatment programs so that Canadians can access quality and evidence-based support when they need it most. 4. Support the many lower-risk and first-time offenders by reforming the Criminal Code to repeal relevant mandatory minimum penalties and requiring police and Crown prosecutors to consider diverting individuals out of the criminal justice system. Conservative: Yes: 1. Invest $325 million over the next three years (2021 - 2024) to create 1000 residential treatment beds and build 50 recovery community centres across the country. 2. Partner with the provinces to ensure naloxone kits are available for free across Canada. 3. Revise federal drugs and substance abuse policies to focus on recovery and harm reduction. The bottom text reads: Don't FAFO. Be informed about the policies you’re voting for.

Don't Fuck Around and Find Out. Be informed about the policies you're voting for.

Exceedingly summarized positions from three of Canada's parties based on information either readily available on each party's website (NDP, Liberal, Conservative), or otherwise found through articles.

Don't just take this chart at face value. At the time of this post, none of these parties have released their official 2025 election year platforms.

Also as a way to make politics slightly more bearable, take a shot every time Pierre Poilievre says "Trudeau" in a public statement or social media post. Happy holidays 🍻

I Swear I Am So Normal About This

I swear I am so normal about this

...

.........

..............

No I'm not.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS BEEN 300 YEARS!? YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST ACCEPT THAT THEY'VE BOTH BEEN LIVING THINKING THE OTHER IS DEAD FOR 300 YEARS!?

Also, I know we've seen it previously in the comic, but I just love that Sulivan's decorations are the same sorta yellow as the wheat in Deaths fields.

I know the first arc just ended, but I am already so excited for the next arc. I am sooooo looking forward to seeing how Raziol handled his newfound immortality and the.... quirks that came with it for the past 3 centuries.

Btw, the comic is a bl webcomic called Novae, set in 1600s France. It includes lots of magic and supernatural creatures and I definitely recommend anyone and everyone to give it a read. You can read it for free on webtoon, or at novaecomic.com , or you can support their patreon.

The "War Of 1812 Scented Candle", Complete With Miniature White House Near The Wick, Is, I Cannot Emphasise

The "War of 1812 Scented Candle", complete with miniature White House near the wick, is, I cannot emphasise this enough, AN ACTUAL REAL PRODUCT THAT YOU CAN BUY (even if it's currently sold out).

The candle is funny enough by itself, but the ad copy on the maker's website is gold (and surprisingly astute):

The "War Of 1812 Scented Candle", Complete With Miniature White House Near The Wick, Is, I Cannot Emphasise

It goes on to add:

We should also note that even though the British Army DID burn Washington, it was only after Americans had burned and looted the capital of Canada, as well as a bunch of other Canadian cities. But no one ever makes a candle about that! (Including us.)

THE BEST PART AND MOST 🔥🔥🔥 TAKE:

Hello everyone!!! The Greek Mythos Project now has a Discord!!!

I know that I have been a little inactive lately on this account, especially with fleshing out the details in official posts and just generally keeping it up, and I wanted to make it a little easier to be involved, both between us as the creators and you guys as the people, so I decided to make a Discord (after the tumblr "communities" thing failed-)! It is a completely open invite, even if you're not particularly planning to participate in the project and just want some new friends! Just keep in mind the rules and be respectful of me and the other people! I will be maintaining my right to kick anyone out who is being disrespectful (although I will absolutely try to reach out individually beforehand to see if we can work things out) but otherwise I hope everything and everyone can get along!

Here is the Discord Server Link and please reach out if you have any questions, you have any trouble, or just need something <3. We don't bite! /j
