A ghost holds a jack-o’-lantern on its head. The pumpkins expression is aghast.

if you're in Alberta and you want your flu and covid shot in 2026 - yes you read that correctly - you have to preorder them right now. So here's the link. go do that. Just in case none of those people get removed from power by then.

please repost this, as the province seems bent on killing us.

I kind of loathe the 'not your grandma's knitting' shit, AND the 'see it's not just silly woman stuff' push, because I think actually what we need to do is to accept that traditionally feminine crafts are actually very complicated and skilled, rather than divorce them from femininity to accept that.

The Breakdown AB @thebreakdownab.bsky.social · 2d

When asked if she would take any responsibility for the Tylenot™️ scandal she created...

She blamed a former leader, a leadership race & a byelection.

Smith was elected leader in Oct 2022

She won her byelection in Nov 2022

The purchase was in Dec 2022

Extremely late Day 7: Portal
#NDNArtober2025

5x7 Guache painting

I remember finding a pool of water like this while out berry picking with my grandparents when I was a kid. It felt like if I fell in I’d end up in another world.

Sometimes I wish for another world where real peace lives.

A rocky outcrop covered in lichen and filled with a small pool of water. It sits in the heart of a boreal forest; surrounded by fall coloured birch boughs and spruce trees, leaves scattered on the ground as the sun begins to rise.
My name is signed at the bottom along with the event tag and day prompt.

Day 6: Crescent Moon

The horizon still shines blue despite the moon being high because this is how it feels to look at the midnight sun as it dips below the horizon, only to rise again in the next hour or two.

Photo of a 5 inch wide by 7 inch tall painting done using Guache water colours. The scene is a crescent moon hanging above a large lake at night. The horizon still shines blue despite the moon being high because this is how it feels to look at the midnight sun as it dips below the horizon, only to rise again in the next hour or two.

An immediate need is NEW (still in the package) socks and underwear for kids, women and men. Plus razors, shaving cream, toothbrushes and toothpaste - packed in totes!
Plus, winter is coming. Anyone got a hookup at Carharts?

You’re right. That’s why multivitamins were tested on indigenous kids here. They legit wanted to know how much exactly we need before we start dying. That’s why we know the various presentations of each vitamin deficiency. How much is too much. It’s all thanks to experimenting on children. Abhorrent

It's in the best interest of eugenicist to sabotage the gut biome of populations that they want to "fall to the wayside". And I'm tired of pretending it's not. ☝️🤡

I can agree that morality and conscience make society friendlier and more tolerant. But, I don’t think his views on that subject mesh with mine.

In 1962, author Roald Dahl’s beloved 7-yr-old daughter, Olivia, tragically died from measles, This devastating loss left an indelible mark on Dahl, propelling him into a lifelong crusade to raise awareness about the importance of childhood vaccinations.

Nov is coming up and Remembrance Day has historically been huge in Canada but I don’t want our leaders wearing poppies because they have fucking disgraced them by not keeping their annual promise “Never Again” by supporting the holocaust against Palestinians.

I’m sick, mad, and exhausted.

Tth'ijaaze ("boreal owl") @theeborealowl.bsky.social · 5d

I’m just fucking angry right now.

Carney hasn’t done one land acknowledgment.

US is a military dictatorship but no one believes their civil war already started.

Palestine is still being starved and genocide under the cover of this “ceasefire” that they haven’t been respecting.

The world won’t be free unless capitalism and colonial violence is actually addressed. Until white nations stop over stepping the burden of help by treating other peoples as if they are “savages” to be “liberated”

Tth'ijaaze ("boreal owl") @theeborealowl.bsky.social · 5d

If a 2 state solution was so great then all people would feel respected and represented and valued in that society!

But instead there is systemic racism and discrimination all over the colonized world everywhere that white people control and decide that just being native makes us less.

Tth'ijaaze ("boreal owl") @theeborealowl.bsky.social · 5d

Colonial entities shouldn’t exist. I don’t care where the people currently living here go, or stay, but all resources and governance should be transferred to an Indigenous Council of Elders.

If a 2 state solution is so great. Colonial entities should disband and hand the nation to its people.

Tth'ijaaze ("boreal owl") @theeborealowl.bsky.social · 5d

The world is in chaos because Colonial Entities like: US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand… etc all got to exist. They all got to invade another land and genocide its people.

Karma isn’t felt by the perpetrators but this global Karma is crashing. The weight of all those souls colonialism snuffed out.

So the answer is to just let them take everyone they want?
Don’t get in their way and maybe they will stop??

Day 5: Fox
This took forever and staring at a reference for ages.
Was good practice though.

Mechanical pencil & paper

A pencil sketch of a fox looking to the left, its ears are attentive. There’s some flowers on a vine nearby to cover failed previous drawings.
Text hovers on the left stating that this is day 5’s drawing for native art tober. Theme is: Fox
My name is also on the page.

Of course. 🪶

Picture of white kids dressed as natives at the top and a photo of Indigenous children with their hair cut short sitting by a nun at the bottom. It was okay for one set of these kids to be indians

Day 4: NDNtime…. Posted on day 7

The joke is all I could think of

A pencil & red ink stylized self portrait of me resting my jaw in my palm, I’m drawn breaking the fourth wall with an expression of wide eyed bewilderment, my elbows resting on a table with scattered papers.
The following text floats nearby:
Trying to draw the concept of NDN time …
Day four’s theme…
On day 7.

Day 3: Fairy

Simple pen doodle of a fairy ring.
Blue ballpoint pen & paper

Day 4 Hopefully later today

A ballpoint pen sits over a drawing of a circle of mushrooms of various sizes. Their shapes are simple bell tops with flared edges. Inside the ring are the words: Day 3, Fairy, two hearts for flair, hashtag N D N Art ober 2025, and my name: Tth’íjaaze (TH-ih-jah-zay)
