I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

block liberally and healthily. leave servers. deactivate. its ur mental health.

u and ur online friends can find each other again when ur feeling better. or maybe u won't. please dont form intense dependent attachments to ur friends. please respect their space.

there are many ways to validate friendships. try not to keep a rigid set of requirements. find that balance.

[jester-de-punyalada]

also specifically on tumblr. when u do get blocked or unfollowed. dont be a baby about it

we can say whatever we want-- thats true. but we are never immune to the consequences of what we have said.

sometimes things u say online make ppl uncomfortable. them cutting u out of their feeds is for their sake.

"I was blocked!! Why would you block someone who did nothing wrong?" STFU. take it on the cheek. its not fuel to play victim.

#also for the love of all that’s lovable - don’t name drop who blocked you

#if we’re going to create healthier environments online like op said - respect someone’s decision to block even if it hurts you

#and don’t announce who blocked you to anyone - i’m even talking discord servers and other places - it’s just cruel

#and it doesn’t allow people who’ve blocked someone for their mental health to actually have that space and peace

#like seriously just be the bigger person and be mature about it and move on

very true. like respect their decision and dont try to kick a fuss.

i began to curb this immediately as soon as i realized how unfair this attitude was. like a block is turning the faucet off so the bucket doesn't over run. that person who blocked u is about to spill over. respect their boundaries and their mental health.

Hey, so they’re making a Netflix Harry Potter.

With that in mind, we’re all gonna remember that JKR is a terf who has literally been cited by legislators engaged in legislation that actively harms trans people, and we’re not gonna give her any more money.

That means not streaming the new show on Netflix, because regardless of how much influence she has on the production, she gets paid for it.

We’re gonna make the show flop. We’re gonna show Warner Brothers that we don’t forget (of course, how would we forget, it isn’t as if she’s stopped), and that their business association with terfs is no longer profitable.

It is NOT like Lovecraft, because Lovecraft is very dead and his works are in the public domain. By consuming Lovecraft media, you are not giving any money to old Howard.

has anyone checked on tony hawk recently

[minecraft]

Holy artifacts of our lord the hawk

[munchy50]

ok maybe this is conspiracy theory thinking, but has anyone thought about the possibility that he could be creating horcruxes? I envision some punk kid searching out lost skateboards in the wastelands of a distant future

[himedanshihozier-moved-deactiva]

okay but isn't this the same shit they tried to cancel lil nas x for just a couple weeks ago?

[droids-in-disguise]

[counttwinkula]

the number of people in the replies who think that outrage against satanic aesthetics is somehow justified fucking blows my mind. it’s 2021. the satanic panic is over girl.

lil nas x, a gay black man, using satanic aesthetics is an intentional choice to create social commentary. jazz and rock n roll, styles of music invented and developed by black people, were called devil music. queer people are constantly maligned as being in legion with the devil. this is exactly the kind of trope he is invoking and subverting here.

it’s also worth considering why the blood of a gay black man may be seen as more “unclean” in comparison to that of a straight white man—like perhaps gay black men were particularly at risk during the AIDS crisis.

lil nas x understands what he’s doing and he’s right to point out the double standard.

lastly: if you’re christian and you’re offended by someone utilizing satanic aesthetics in the 21st century, all i can do is laugh. your religion has dominated the globe for centuries. christians have wiped out countless indigenous belief systems and subjugated all sorts of “heathen” peoples. if the people you’ve stigmatized by calling us devil worshipers want to take your boogeyman and make him sexy or transgressive, it’s our prerogative.

[cryptvokeeper]

Also if the argument is “satanic aesthetics” it’s worth mentioning that tony hawk did this in partnership with Liquid Death, who’s aesthetic looks like this:

And the skateboards themselves look like this:

For the record Liquid Death are actually super cool and do some cool stuff, like the charity work with these skateboards, but their Aesthetic doesn’t exactly scream “good God-fearing Christians” either, so the double standard is pretty evident

[tenaflyviper]

Reblogging yet again because not only does Liquid Death's style look badass, but it goes to show how much the backlash against Lil' Nas X is actually rooted in racism and bigotry masquerading as religious outrage.

[catbountry]

Both Lil Nas X and Tony Hawk making shoes and skateboards with their blood is rad as shit and they should be frens, it just sucks that Lil Nas X got all the backlash from a bunch of panicky conservatives when he should be getting high fives.

why do people put so much effort into blocking p.rnbots that follow them. the bot is not doing you any harm it is just sitting there enjoying your posts

[ernuotori]

hello i can answer this, the reason it's important to block/report bots is bc they use your blog as a 'trustworthy' link back to them so that search algos on google, bing, etc will think that their blog is a legitimate site. one bot with a ray bans scam isnt gonna do much harm, but hundreds of ray bans bots with links to hundred of legitimate blogs, through the likes on their posts, cause problems

[mycroftrh]

that's very helpful information, thank you!

Last Minute Hurricane Prep

With hurricane Ida within hours of making landfall, while it might be too late to leave, there’s still some time to prepare

Fill containers with (safe to drink) water, freeze them, and stick them in your fridge and freezer. This will help keep it colder if the power goes out and you have extra water. Make sure you leave some room at the top of the containers for the ice to expand.

Set your fridge to the coldest setting as well

If you anticipate the power going out, put your food in trash bags in the fridge. if you lose power for too long and the food goes bad, you can easily throw it out

While this is typically recommended for evacuating, you can still put a coin on top of a frozen cup of water to see if your power was out while you were asleep. If the coin has sunk into the ice, your food probably isn’t good anymore.

Fill your sinks and bathtubs with water in case the water is unsafe or is shut off. You can use it to wash, flush your toilet, etc. 

Related to #2, try to take a shower ahead of time

Also do dishes/laundry if you can since you might not be able to for a few days

Make sure your devices are fully charged. Even if you don’t have internet or service, you can still use your phone as a flashlight and entertainment (no power can get boring real fast)

Make sure all your radios, flashlights, etc have batteries ahead of time. Don’t need to be looking for batteries in the dark

Take pictures of your valuables for insurance

Keep your important documents in a safe in an area that will either not get damaged or that you can quickly take with you if you need to leave in an emergency. In fact, keep an emergency bag packed in case you need to 

Bring any loose items (Chairs, plants, etc) that are in your yard/patio inside. 

Please add on to this if you think of anything else!

hurricane ida is destroying my house

hurricane ida update: our power went out about two hours ago, the rains and winds have gotten worse. we keep getting huge leaks in our ceiling in almost all the rooms in the house. our glass backdoor is leaking water all over the floors. we cant flush our toilets and there's a boil water advisory for the whole area. we can see our neighbors' roofs getting ripped off from the force of the winds alone and the squeaking and whistling coming from the attic is freaking us out

things are not looking too good for us, almost regretting that we stayed but I know we can't afford a hotel and we don't have many places we can go with 6 people and 6 cats.

stop humiliating fat children/fat teens/fat young adults/fat adults/fat folks in general. stop questioning/speculating on our food intake, our energy out put, how our individual bodies must feel, what our health is,etc.

white people really don't seem to understand that prison abolition is essential to decolonization and anti-racism activism

the prison system is a colonist invention that disproportionately imprisons people of colour and exploits them for labour that they are paid cents for

I encourage all of you, but especially white people, to research prison abolition. here are some resources to get you started:

An Indigenous Abolitionist's Study Guide

Why COVID-19 shows it's time to consider prison abolition

Trans liberation can't happen until we abolish prisons

The case for abolition

Emancipation day march in downtown Toronto calls for abolition of prison system

Racism/appropriation of indigenous ppl is RAMPANT in the furry community so let me say some things:

STOP calling ur characters w*nd*g*s. You don’t even have to change the design, just stop calling them that. Call them like. Skull deer or some shit there is no reason for you to be using that word.

Stop using “spirit animal” in referral to ur fursona. This is obvious idk why it even needs to be said.

Stop making “two wolves inside you” jokes. The “two wolves inside you” is in reference to a racist made up native proverb from a white dude.

You aren’t appreciating cultures by doing things we tell u to stop. If you want to appreciate: buy from indigenous ppl, respectfully learn about cultures, listen to native people, and DON’T MAKE EXCUSES.

[aotuo-deactivated20211118]

if any of u are actually fucking subscribing to kaijuno (repeatedly called out for racism) then the least u can fucking do is give me money too. its not a desperate situation or anything but i think if racists get to monetize their stupid content then the least u can do is give me money so i can afford to buy my brown mother something nice for christmas.

might delete this later or whatever. if you love me send me five bucks ^-^

v*nmo: ragingmae

reblog this btw

[aotuo-deactivated20211118]

other poc feel free to drop ur v*nm*s or what have you on this post. we deserve to get paid for this bullshit.

(this goes doubly for black ppl btw considering 90% the horrific shit kaijuno has said)
