Get Those Books Moving : Part 4

Summer 2023 Cathleen A. Baker Fellow Katarina Stiller worked on treatments for pop-up books from the William A. Gosling Pop-up and Movable Books Collection --- part of our Children's Literature Collection.

Here are Schneewittchen (1961) and Rotkäppchen (1960) --- both illustrated by Vojtěch Kubašta and published by Carlsen Verlag GMBH --- before and after treatment!

The provincial government unveiled Tuesday the first plank in its plan to reshape Alberta Health Services (AHS) into four distinct entities, outlining two new organizations that will manage delivery of mental health and addiction services. 

A new entity, Recovery Alberta, will be charged with delivering the mental health and addictions services currently handled by AHS. Operations are expected to move from AHS to Recovery Alberta by July 1 after legislation is passed.

In addition, the province said it would create a new Crown corporation, dubbed the Canadian Centre of Recovery Excellence, or CORE.

That project, which is intended to be operational by the summer, is tasked with building recovery-oriented systems of care "by researching best practices for recovery from around the world, analyzing data and making evidence-based recommendations." [...]

"what would your character be like without their trauma?" is such a hard question for me because it makes me feel like a massive asshole LMAO

(im attaching a picture of a tundra literally to add context to my ramble in the tags because my posts are structured by a sane person) (you should read the ramble in the tags i talk so much about rivers fsr)

#like. rivers would probably just purpose funky things for the hell of it and study lizards and stuff #i think environmentalism would matter to him since he was created long before the great equalizer when there was like. actually a view #have you guys ever looked at a tundra for real theyre so pretty. i think the colours would be funkier though #purples and blues along with the reds and oranges i think but id have to draw it tio be sure its not ugly #anyways. rivers would probably be interested in nature conservation especially since the ancients destroyed the world- #but the iterators construction obviously had a massive part in that so hed feel ownership #him and glass wouldve got along VERY well in this circumstance since that matters a lot to her (specifically animal conservation though) #but at the same time glass doesnt exist without rivers trauma right. she cant exist if flowers isnt in his life because he Literally built #her (glass) just to be mean to rivers #doomed for real #i....... want them to be friends in the walky au. my massive block is trying to think of some reason nights Needs to leave his can because #he wouldnt if not required. and glass just wouldnt leave him. in no circumstance would they willingly separate from eachothers company #theyd ALSO need to be really fast because the only opportunity nights would get to get out is when odyssey goes to him to help her build #the weapon she needs to kill dune. (odyssey has the gift. the twins dont know anyone else who does((other than phrases obvsly))) #this happens a considerable amount of time after phrases and rivers escape. they have like. a month's time on them #odysseys like “if you guys are for real about leaving do NOT go straight south. dont. dont. dont. youre like 2 feet tall you WILL die” #nights is like “DEAR GOD SERIAL KILLERS??????” and glass is like “wtf youre only like a foot taller than us” #anyways i think glass and rivers would get along and rivers has a positive arc here right and realizes hes wrong and hes glad he didnt. #kill the twins. yeah its good you didnt do that dude #i jsut really really think theyd get along if rivers had the chance to associate her with anything but flowers horrid treatment of him #because in the normal story all he sees when he sees her is flowers. and like flowers could the twins can tap into his work and see his #files and logs and such whenever they wanted. they didnt do this very often- glass really never looked at rivers work unless she was told t #but rivers was just made SO paranoid by flowers abuse that thinking of being watched makes him feel sick and horrible #and his whole thing is trying to find a way to feel less horrible right so thats (part of) why he decides to get rid of them #hm. if rivers wassnt traumatized hed like nature and creatures. anyways #oc posting #look to the tags for the oc posting

Louisiana already has trigger laws to ban abortion statewide should Roe v. Wade be overturned. HB813 looks to take things a step further to classify a person as the moment an egg is fertilized. It would provide the unborn fetus the same protections as someone who has been born and classify abortion as murder.

[...]

Some fear this could lead to charges against women for homicide or battery in cases of miscarriage or in fertility treatments like IVF. In IVF treatments an egg is taken from the woman and fertilized by doctors. Then the egg is placed back into the uterus in hopes to begin a pregnancy. One attorney shared her struggle with the first fertilized egg not taking and not becoming a valid pregnancy.

“This bill would give those cells personhood. Such that anything that happens to them after could give rise to criminal prosecution. This criminalizes IVF,” said Sarah Omojola, a New Orleans attorney.

[..]

Some also said the bill could have repercussions for use of birth control since it slows down ovulation to prevent fertilization or the bill could prevent women from getting life-saving care if it jeopardizes a fetus.

Of course republicans are already trying to scrub their history of support for the explicitly anti-choice rhetoric & policies that led to IVF being outlawed in Alabama.

They shamelessly want to pretend that they’re baffled as to how their decades of rhetoric demonizing medical science & vilifying medical professionals, abortion patients & pro-choice advocates as “baby killers” who “spit in the face of their god” could possibly have led to such an outcome.

I’m begging & hoping people won’t forget or be fooled by this pitiful momentary bit of empty contrition when more than a few prominent conservatives both elected politicians & propagandists alike have explicitly doubled down on their plans to stick to their anti-choice blueprint & ultimate agenda to dismantle our democracy & replace it with Christian Nationalist Theocracy.

The travesty in Alabama despite what republicans might claim is not a flub or accident or unforeseen consequence. They have absolutely zero intention to “work with democrats/progressives” towards a change or compromise nor do they intend to stop that same travesty from occurring in other states dominated by religious right acolytes.

As has been repeated over & over for years: THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT. They want people to suffer. They want people who don’t want children to be forced to have them and they want people who can’t have children to never get the opportunity to. They want to create a country where people with wombs are nothing more than tools of the patriarchal state with no autonomy or rights.

It genuinely cannot be made more clear what is at stake in our nation when inhumanities like the one in Alabama occur.

Y'all I recently learned that the Gulf of Mexico used to have a native seal, but they went extinct in the the 1960s, partially due to hunting and over hunting their food sources. They were called Caribbean Monk seals and are closely related to the Hawaiian Monk seal and the Mediterranean Monk seal, both of which are endangered

(Pictured: a Hawaiian monk seal)

#We used to have seals! We've been robbed!! #Also they played a vital niche in the gulf's ecosystem #maybe they'll introduce Hawaiian seals in the region to fill that niche and as part of the species conservation efforts #give them the manatee treatment; it's illegal to touch them unless you're approved as part of conservation work #I do know harbor seals have been seen more frequently on Florida's east coast so maybe they'll make their way into the gulf #but I think they need to cold water so I'm not sure how feasible that is

mean hours

maybe this is mean because i know a lot of the more conservative detransitioners come from a place of feeling betrayed by either the trans community or the medical system etc, and i feel like this is going to come off wrong for detrans people who are actually nice.

but sometimes i think about how as a non-binary teen i was quite clear on what procedures i didn't want. i was able to, while learning about trans identities online and watching trans influencers get top surgery, recognize my body image issues were different than my gender feelings. i was able to recognize, even as a minor, that hey, i don't think these procedures are for me, and even if they are, i need more time to figure that out because i have these other things going on.

obviously the detrans people trying to shut down trans healthcare access were dealing with a lot, or else they wouldn't have made those decisions. i won't deny that maybe they did have medical professionals push them in the wrong direction.

it's just that a lot of us are self aware enough to know what is/isn't for us and it feels kinda... irritating to have the idea pushed that All Teens Are At Risk Because Of Social Contagions when... if it really WAS about me fitting in and lying to myself i probably would've gone through with those treatments. but i didn't. because i can be non-binary without them. i'm sorry no one ever told you how elective those treatments can actually be but they are elective, and you elected to get them done.

#txt #ive typed out various versions of this a few times already and never posted them bc controversial #but im chronically online and kinda tired of hearing so many arguments from the conservative #side of that community when like............. #there is a personal accountability piece that is just so totally lacking #that i feel like (although those people would never accept it) is somewhat highlighted by the fact #many of us identify as trans without ever having forced ourselves into procedures we were self aware enough to know werent for us #and otherwise? sometimes making decisions when you don't realize how confused you are has long term consequences #and that is just. part of being a human person. #idk i have complicated feelings about it all that arent summed up very well here #but if you werent prepared for the possibility you may have been wrong about those treatments being for you #you shouldnt have gotten them done #and it is ok to recognize that after the fact

The UCP is considering a law that would force people with severe drug addictions to be placed into treatment without their consent, according to documents obtained by The Globe and Mail.

The Compassionate Intervention Act would be the first involuntary treatment law in Canada to target addiction.

Some jurisdictions, including Alberta, already use mental health laws to push people into drug treatment without court orders in exceptionally severe situations.

The Globe says this legislation would give police, as well as the family or legal guardian of drug users, sweeping rights to refer adults and youth to involuntary treatment if they pose risks to themselves or others.

Full article

If this becomes the law, it will be a huge loss of human rights for people that experience addiction. This further removes freedom and bodily autonomy from a group that is already pushed to the margins of society.

Involuntary commitment is a horrible concept that is already used to imprison mentally ill people against their will, and expanding it to include people experiencing addiction makes a bad situation worse.

Make no mistake, this will disproportionately impact people of colour and lgbtq+ people.

I saw my dad last night and he was telling me about how blessed he feels to be able to work from home after his chemo treatments (his last one is in 2 weeks!!!) even though he's basically useless and only responds to emails. I told him that wouldn't it be great if he didn't have to work AT ALL while going through chemo because he has cancer? he was like, yeah, it would, but then I would burn through all my vacations days and my other leave days. I looked at him and said yeah, but wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to even use those? that maybe you could take 6 months to a year off of work to deal with CANCER, and maybe the government still pays you? he just shook his head and said that that's not how things work. I asked him if he thought maybe they SHOULD work that way? he said something about tax dollars and I cut him off to say that I would much rather my tax money goes towards people who are ill/recovering than for, idk, guns and weapons for other countries to kill innocents with. he just kind of nodded his head, and then Jade (dog) showed up and started licking me and I got distracted from the conversation, but damn, maybe my next goal should be radicalizing my dad

#hes always been very straight laced conservative #but hes also very kind and empathetic and understanding so idk why he holds those beleifs #other than thats what his parents taught him #but maybe just maybe i can get him to see how broken this system is #if he cant even take off of fucking work to recover from his chemo treatments #i hate cancer ): #davekitties rambles

I can be trusted with a loaded weapon!!

I asked these ppl why not trust me with a gun and they LAUGHED 😭 THE FUCKIJG NERVE 😡

But like. With love, I can be trusted with a gun. I have no desire to off someone by accident or on purpose if it'll ruin my life. In fact, I remember gun safety rules by heart pretty much even tho I only heard them once. Most important of which is "don't point a gun at someone/something you're not willing to shoot or 'treat the thing like it's loaded even when it isn't/even when the safety is on.'" I'm the best at gun safety. In fact, I should be given a pistol, a machine gun, a shotgun, and every other type of gun for free because I'm just so good with guns.

#cw guns #gun safety #i miss shooting ranges they were rly fun #and I'm actually a pretty decent shot #not perfect but alright #guns are fun 👍 and also i support gun rights for all #obv don't let small children around them and don't let people who threaten to kill others in a serious matter at them but like #people SHOULD have a right to self defense actually #and it shouldn't be only hyperconservatives who have a clean background bc they're rich and have never sought treatment for their anger #issues that have them #curious how specifically poor and marginalized groups who often get funneled into mental 'health services' against their will #can't own a gun quite as easily as rich people who actively decide how things in their and others lives go #like bro they can kill someone and straight up pay their way out #and yet for some reason its always the poors who are 'dangerous' even tho we are all very much aware #that if someone is shot on our watch we don't have the kind of safety net that rich people have #that makes us MORE gun conscious- not less #as a leftist i am pro gun and i HATE how its considered a conservative belief

#obviously i'm very grateful for the nhs - the benefit of treatment being free once you actually get it can't be overlooked #however... things are currently very shit #because our conservative government has been underfunding the health service for years #the pandemic did not start the problem it just worsened it #organic home grown content #ALSO: i am very much aware that not everyone can drive to hospital
