If you use the word "knot" as a synonym for a burl on a tree, than would Slipknot be a valid warrior name?

I haven’t seen anyone talk about this on tumblr yet. Environmental racism is Canada choosing land sacred to the Algonquin First Nations to dump nuclear waste.

Algonquin First Nations oppose giant radioactive waste mound beside the Ottawa River on their unceded territory

First Nations raise alarm over impact of planned nuclear-waste dump on Ottawa drinking water

Canadian Nuclear Laboratories says storage says new storage site will not impact drinking water, but Chief of Kebaowek First Nation says the

The Globe and Mail

Yeah it’s a stupid spot

Also keep in mind that calling it a ‘dump’ has strange implications. The issue isn’t the mound itself, which would pose no risk to drinking water. The issue is a filtration and dilution plan for tritium disposal, involving the water directly

I’m actually all for nuclear waste disposal, it’s severely needed. It’s not green sludge, it’s mostly dry medical waste used for chemotherapy and research. In fact, I’ve been a participant at talks for a disposal site near where I live, also on indigenous land. The difference in this case, is that the plans always involved First Nations talks (how I got involved), and posed no risk whatsoever.

Nuclear waste gets fearmongering while there is still an environmental disaster unfolding involving the decades long dumping of mercury into waterways, so just be aware when reading articles like this

You’re right, I was reactionary in seeing this and didn’t choose proper terminology to reflect the actual circumstances, which is on me. Thanks for the addition, it helps clarify the situation!

Oh hey this is my home town. I do not work at the site, I know people who do, I’m not an expert in this field.

Ok this article is a little weird to read for me. It seems to imply that by putting it unceded land it is being put on primarily indigenous community. Chalk River/Deep River are both very white towns. They are getting more diverse but slowly. The land is unceded yes. Environmental racism is a thing that still happens yes. The nuclear plant was built without the permission of local indigenous groups yes. I’m guessing the environmental racism here is that the land is unceded and important, rather than the environmental racism where they damage indigenous(or other POC) communities instead of white communities.

Another thing is that the waste is already there. The plan is to make a more secure area to hold the waste as it currently is in a less secure area.

The article implies that the plan is going ahead. It is so far still on commission hearing. They need to talk to these groups and make every chance to discuss with them before it goes ahead.

Regulatory review status for the Near Surface Disposal Facility (NSDF) - Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is an independent federal government agency that regulates the use of nuclear energy and mater

Here is the link to the CNSC plan and updates about the project. The commission has not finished it’s report (currently December 30 2023). This is a very very slow process.

As @timelordlettuce says most of the water is from chemotherapy and research. The Chalk River nuclear site was not a nuclear power plant, it did chemotherapy and research. It still does research.

While we don’t want to contaminate the river we also need to make sure not the contaminate the many many wetlands in the area.

The whole “trans women can’t get periods because they don’t have uteruses” terf rhetoric is almost funny to me knowing that male dogs can have false heats and false pregnancies when their bodies produce excess estrogen

to those wondering How someone without a uterus can have a period: it actually has very little to do with the organs!

Estrogen is a set of instructions that your body follows. when it’s in constant supply at the right levels, your body will start picking out a schedule for when it needs to release a few other hormones, and start squeezing the ever-loving shit out of the MUSCLES that it expects to be around those organs.

Remember, bleeding is only a small part of a period. the main symptoms are muscle cramps, pain or discomfort in the lower abdominal area(because of the cramps), irregular bowel movements(because of the cramps), needing to pee more(because of the cramps), bloating, craving specific foods, nausea, and fluctuations in energy levels & nutritional needs. none of that requires a uterus or ovaries; even the bloating is only PARTIALLY from being full of blood.

this is also why cis women born without functioning reproductive systems(i.e. womb is just scar tissue, neither ovary actually works, developed a third kidney instead of a uterus, that kind of thing) can still have periods throughout their life. as long as they’re producing lots of estrogen, it’s gonna happen!

My 14 year old brother just took a drink of hot chocolate and hissed like he’d knocked back a shot of vodka then set it down and went “ah… that’s the good stuff.”

Just watched him lose a card game as badly as he could on purpose for the sole purpose of annoying the guy trying to run the game and when I was like what is wrong with you all he said was “that’s how we do it down in Vegas”

I told him that this has 2k notes and the people love him and he completely deadpan went “wow it’s everything I ever wanted” and then immediately accidentally set himself on fire in skyrim and died
