“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“

This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

where exactly are we supposed to feel safe at? because it’s obviously not in places made specifically for us or on screen in the smallest amount of representation that we get. or sometimes not even in our own homes. it’s not fair that the world can take and take and take from us and not expect us to be upset about it.

50 single roses outside the historic Stonewall Inn.  

[inkonapagepoetry]

Red, like the innocent blood lost, Orange, like the warning signs that they never had, Yellow, like the happiness they were meant to take part in, Green, like the helmets that arrived all too late, Blue, like the stretchers that couldn’t save them, Indigo, like the souls that are aching, Violet, like the bruises for just being.

to the mentally ill wlw who couldn’t graduate due to too many missed days. to the mentally ill wlw who are failing multiple classes. to the mentally ill wlw who can’t find the will to turn anything in. to the mentally ill wlw who feel like failures. to the mentally ill wlw who can’t get out of bed to go to school and get called lazy. to the mentally ill wlw who have no executive function. to the mentally ill wlw whose family and friends ridicule them over their low grades. to the mentally ill wlw who didn’t get into college. to the mentally ill wlw who’ve been fucked over by their mental health.

Additions:

If you are an enrolled member of a Native American tribe, please send me a message with the link to your online store, your tribal affiliation, and the name you wish to be listed under.

A Note on Appropriation:

A few people complained on my last post about cultural appropriation. I myself am an enrolled member of the Mvskoke Creek Nation of Oklahoma on my mother’s side, and of Western Cherokee ancestry on my father’s side. I have written a plethora of posts regarding cultural appropriation of NDN tribes. I would never compile a list that would condone the further abuse of my people. When you are buying something that is authentically native-made, you are not appropriating, you are appreciating. This is so because you are supporting Natives by purchasing articles from them that they have consented to sell and that they benefit financially from directly. I have researched, or know personally, all of the entries on this list and have disclosed their tribal information in order to reassure consumers that they are legally creating and selling their wares in accordance with the American Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990.
