I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.

Never Forget the Reign of Terror waged against Muslims (and by extension, Sikhs profiled as being Muslim) in the nearly two decades following 9/11.

do not forget about reservations.

do not forget about the people on reservations.

when you are making and reading posts about dire predictions for quality of life, do not forget about reservations.

we already have issues accessing clean water. we already experience devastation from climate change. we are already going missing for our race. we are already being murdered for our culture.

it will only get worse.

it’s possible to live through. every single person indigenous to north america has a chance to live through this. i’m not trying to fear monger; i’m trying to remind you.

please do not forget about us when you assure people that “everything will be okay; people are living under far worse circumstances in other countries”.

people are living under far worse circumstances here. and it can get worse. and it will get worse. and we need you to remember that we’re here when it happens.

Because of mining, Navajo people living on the reservation have high levels of uranium in their environment, which translates to high levels of uranium in their bodies, and thus very high rates of certain types of cancer, such as blood cancers like leukemia.

Because of how hamstrung reservation law enforcement is and how the laws governing non-tribal people on reservations are constructed, in many reservations (such as the Cherokee land in western North Carolina) white men can (and do) go into the reservation and assault and rape the women with immunity. Reservation cops can't pursue them off the territory or extradict them back into the reservation, and because they're not enrolled they're not subject to Eastern Band laws. And since it happened on reservation land, colonizer law enforcement won't touch them.

And that's just two examples of the continuing genocide of Indigenous people of the United States.

Disabled people are the largest minority in the world and we are taught to believe being or becoming disabled is a thing that rarely happens and ESPECIALLY not to you. Even though anyone can become disabled at any time, we are not considered ever. We are treated like we don't exist, and when we say "hey, we exist!" We are told its so rare that our experience is meaningless and useless in most discussions.

By the way, the prosecution just violated Luigi Mangione's HIPAA rights and I have not seen people talking much about it

it makes me kinda mad that my iphone autocorrects Hawai’i to Hawaii. at minimum it should just let you do it, and actually it should be the opposite in the first place. my hopefully not that hot of a take on autocorrect and indigenous proper nouns
