so as I'm making my slow return to tumblr in the hopes that I can rekindle something in me I thought I'd share something I've been learning in therapy: I thought I had defeated my anxiety, because like. i can do all the things now. vast majority, ya know. no shaking or heart rate or upset stomach. I thought I had won. Apparently! I beat exactly one form and not at all the final boss. I am bad at relaxing. as in I basically don't - working on it! - and that.. is anxiety. Always finding something that needs taking care of. Running mental lists of things I need to do, or buy, when I need to do them. how to get them done. always finding something to research. Turns out that's all still anxiety. Who knew!

this unlocked a memory I forgot I had.

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: it’s just so beautiful

The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say

Me, sniffling: I didn’t realize, I can’t, it’s so much, I, I… are the chips good, at least?

Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: they’re… magical, strange traveler

When I say "connect with nature" I don't just mean the aesthetic forests with deer and beautiful flowers.

I mean the weeds growing through concrete, the fungus that grows on the rotten shed, the nettles that always seem to return and the scary, spindly cellar spider in the corner of the bathroom.

Nature is not always pretty or magical - the pigeons and seagulls you swat at are nature too, the wasps and flies that hover by your meals are animals too, store-bought strawberries and the leaves that fall from your neighbour's tree are not all that different from the Giant Sequoias and it's seeds.

If you want to connect and understand nature, I mean *really* connect to it, in it's entirety, you have to seek out and learn about the ugly, scary and mundane things as well. You don't have to like it, just don't forget that it's there.

Also

1. I usually get sick like 2-3 times a year. 2020? None.

2. Allergies exist. Allergies with a mask on are much easier

3. Men can be gross and if a someone wants to not deal with some douchebag telling them to "smile, honey" by wearing a mask, then more power to them

4. Face tracking software is a thing and it's creepy af and face masks make it harder to track your face.

5. It's a fashion thing. Wearing a mask that matches your outfit? Pristine.

A very beautiful image of these smiley blackfoot. It seemed everything was alright…

Photograph by Mary T. S. Schaffer in 1907.

I just love how humanizing this is, it’s the first time I’ve seen us not depicted as the stoic archetype of this period

[tsoki]

Pictured here are Sampson, Frances Louise, and Leah Beaver who actually were very close friends with the photographer and were regular subjects of her work. It’s amazing what happens when you view us as people rather than museum objects - you capture us as people, as friends, as lovers, as parents rather than the stoic image of genocide and colonialism in-progress. 

If you’re interested in learning more about female photographers and how they aided in representing native peoples through positive representation and ethical photography, I would suggest reading “Trading Gazes.” Mary T.S. Schaffer and other influential female photographers, and friends, of native peoples are given some much-needed recognition in this book while also discussing the white woman’s place in our genocide and colonization.

Lemons are not a natural occurring fruit, it’s a cross breed between a male citron and a female sour orang, so life never gave us lemons we gave lemons life.
