hi, im indus
topics that i post about: chronic pain/illness/disability, anxiety/depression, adhd/autism, writing, fiber arts, being trans, being a uni student, my cat, ye old US of A, fandom, and other things.
should you want to read my fics: a03 (same username as this blog if the link is broke)
If you want to be mean or bigoted or rude or honestly have rancid vibes, I will not hesitate to block you. I love the block button.
250 years and most native tribal groups continue to not be federally recognized. Embarrassing!
Hey so a small thing that literally everyone who sees this is capable of is correcting any “used to” statements about native people in this country.
“Native people used to live in this National Park” No. They still do.
“Native people used to tell these stories-” No. They still do.
“Native people used to use this plant as a natural remedy-” No. They still do.
Better yet, familiarize yourself with the tribes local to you. Odds are, they do not yet have federal recognition. You can still read the stories they have to share, you can share their ongoing battle for recognition with others, you can sign petitions and spread the word to others to do so as well. But do something.
Just a reminder that the Chinook Indian Nation was one of the very few tribes to be recognized and then have that recognition rescinded. They've been fighting to regain recognition ever since, and you can find out more about how to help them no matter where you are at ChinookJustice.org.
70+ tribes have lost their federal recognition since the 1800s for various reasons that mostly boil down to treaties and policies that prioritized termination of tribes and “integration into American society.” Many tribes are also unrecognized as separate from a larger tribe, meaning they can access benefits by enrolling in the recognized tribe but by doing so weaken the chance of their own tribe ever gaining recognition because the government only recognizes one tribal affiliation per person (also screwing over the many people with ancestors in multiple tribes). And since they have no support, they struggle to continue as a community to practice their traditions and consistent community, which is a (hard to prove) requirement for regaining that recognition
Find and learn about the people near you. My closest tribe is one of those that lost their federal recognition thanks to legal nonsense. I regularly hear people around here calling them “pretendians” while at the same time they’re barred from many activities like educating others at schools and public events due to their lack of recognition. Yeah, there are people out there faking things, but there are also many people who have been fighting for recognition for decades, and with a little looking and listening it’s not hard to learn the difference
The Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe made this card for their citizens to present to ICE.
If you are in a different federally recognized tribe in Washington State:
“I am a member of the (insert tribe here) Tribal Nation, which is Tribal Nation federally recognized by the United States.
This means I am also a United States citizen according to the U.S. Citizenship Act of 1924, 8 USC Section 1401.
Our tribe’s enrollment office number is (insert phone number here).
The Native American Rights Fund will assist me if you attempt to illegally detain me. Contact them at 303-447-8760”
stop using chatgpt!!!! take a bronze pin and carve your questions onto an ox scapula, then toss it into the fire!!!! use the cracks to divine the gods answer!!!!
citations still have to be APA 7th edition though. if you plagiarise, the gods will flood the yellow river again. and you'll lose your academic standing.

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube
they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!
i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies
Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚
where i am, a box fan and the filters run about $20 each, so if $100 is too much of a stretch at the moment, get the fan and one filter. tape the filter to the intake side of the fan, all the way around. this is also good if your space is small and a 20" cube won't fit.

allow me some public whining and wallowing if you may.
ive been dealing with insulin resistance + my disabilities have been very disabling this past semester so making it to class was a win, working out has been out of the picture for a while.
fortunately, i was put on ozempic. great! this will address the insulin resistance and it will get my a1c down in time for my hysterectomy! yay!
enter: the most infuriating email conversation with the drs office
me: can u please authorize the medication, insurance needs it drs office: 😃 we called the pharmacy and they did not need authorization 😃 me: i said insurance dr office: 😃 oh ok! the request has been sent! 😃 me: great thanks.
so then i got the medication several months late. and now my a1c hasn't come down enough. (it came down by 0.3 in a month which would be really good if yk. i had gotten the medication on time.)
so i have to (highly likely, my dr hasn't said anything yet but i messaged her about it at like 4 pm yesterday so, ill prob hear from her today) postpone my surgery.
which, having surgery 2 weeks before i move is not. ideal. but the sooner it happens, the sooner i can stop the hormone suppressants to help my bones and muscles not feel like they are collision at all times.
so maybe this is for the best, and i can schedule it for the beginning of my winter break so that i can actually heal.
that doesn't take away from the anger at the endocrinology office and my general disappointment. so i think i need to make some art about it.
at the “club”. straight up. chugging “it”. and by “club”. i mean “dr office”. and by “it”. lets just say. “water”
tumblr thinks krogurr should talk about this.
talk about what, buddy?
i hope they assassinate MORE republican senators to distract from mitch mcconnell definitely being dead
re-watching The Prince of Egypt and during "Let My People Go", it's cracking me up how whenever Ramses looks out the window, Moses is just. Standing There. looking directly at Ramses.
it is truly younger sibling behavior to just Stand There.

ok bye !
I really can and will blame the 9-5 for everything. "We're in a loneliness epidemic" well, we have to spend a third of our day interacting with people in a professional way that makes forming real friendships difficult and then we're peopled out by the time we're done. "People are eating more and more unhealthily" people have to spend more than a third of their day doing work related tasks and they don't want to spend their tiny amount of free time making food. "People aren't involved in their local communities" after spending more than a third of their day doing work related things people are tired and also all those community events take place during normal working hours. "People need to get more hobbies" after spending more than a third of their day working, people are TIRED and don't want to do anything that takes yet more energy. "Literacy is dying" to maintain your critical thinking skills you need to read/watch things that make you think and after spending more than a third of your day doing work related stuff you are TIRED and don't want to expend even more brainnpower. "People need to get outside more" People. Are. TIRED. Because they have to spend all of their time working or preparing for work or recovering from work or doing all the chores they couldn't stay on top of because of work. I can blame fucking anything on having to work, it is truly the root of all fucking evil.
inaugurating the reposts of my old art on this acc with something i have never actually put on tumblr ✨
i genuinely feel like im being edged
Guys guys guys guys guys guys
Aaaaaaaaaa
I am feeling so fucking emotional about the fact that not only did this guy read a huge chunk of my essay, but he spent so much time backing up what I said with video clips and photos.
I cut down the video so that Tumblr would actually post it — it's almost 25m long — but please go watch the whole thing and let him know I sent you. It's a REALLY good video.
I missed this event, so here's context on the swatting he mentioned early on.
Buttigieg, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, shared his family's experience when police and Child Protective Services came
The video and essay are important. Didn't want to take away from them though.
the essay in question, if you'd like to read it:
💬 33 🔁 31826 ❤️ 32909 · Pete Buttigieg is just a faggot. It's very important to me that younger queers understand this: to the people who
Thank you!
Martina McBride didn't win Country Music Association Song of the Year for a song about how burning your house down with your abusive husband still inside it is good, noble, and an allegory for the American Revolution for people to act like the genre belongs to bootlicking fucks
other things people didn't do for you to act like country music belongs to bootlicking fucks:
Garth Brooks winning video of the year at the ACMs for a song about how none of us are free as long as there's racism and homophobia
Reba McEntire charting with a gothic horror song about an innocent man being executed by an incompetent judge and a corrupt sheriff
Willie Nelson being, well, his entire self tbh
Dolly Parton recording the hating capitalism banger of all time
Kacey Musgraves telling everyone to ignore the haters, smoke weed, and be a bisexual slut
how the hell did I leave Morgan Wade off this list. wrote a song about being depressed, alcoholic, and suicidal and how mental illness stigma sucks, saw how much people connected with it, wrote a Part II of that song about how she's doing better now but you're never totally free of the risk of relapse. fucking icon.
I specifically curated this list so people couldn't be like "ah yes but you see here is my simple binary of good and bad country music which always works", I made sure to add different genders, eras, subgenres, etc and y'all are still pulling that shit in the tags!
listen. Alan Jackson, the archetypal mister big hat man sitting on a tractor singing about a pickup truck, wrote a shockingly normal song about 9/11 that was like "yeah I don't know jack shit about politics but my copy of the bible says we're supposed to love everyone" and then went on the radio and explained how he specifically wanted to write a song about that day that "wasn't vengeful". Miranda Lambert took the southern leftist slogan "y'all means all" and made it the title of a corny ass pop-country song for the Queer Eye soundtrack. Kenny Chesney stole a horse from a cop and Tim McGraw put the cop in a chokehold defending him, and I know that's not about their music but it is, and this is very important, fucking sick as hell
it's fine if you only listen to female country artists or pre-1990 country artists or whatever the fuck you want but stop acting like you've cracked the secret code to dividing a whole genre of art into good pure anti-establishment folk songs vs bad corrupted right-wing sellout pulp
updating this post for 2025:
Luke Combs covering Fast Car and keeping the line "I work in the market as a checkout girl" and doing an interview about how he couldn't change a single word because it's not his story. king shit
Morgan Wallen doing I Had Some Help, literally the first song that spoke to me as a male survivor of domestic abuse. also shoutout to the guy for getting caught saying a racial slur and responding by specifically telling his fans not to defend him and raising a bunch of money for the Black Music Action Coalition. bro had an engraved invitation to the culture war and said "nah I'd rather be normal"
Shaboozey just absolutely obliterating the drunk roadhouse anthem glass ceiling
Maren Morris and Brothers Osborne with a song that okay, released in 2019 but I didn't hear until recently, about how good friends mind their own business and let you love whoever you want and also get high with you when you're broke
Kimberley Perry! If I Die Young Part 2!! "actually I'm glad I lived, bitch" ass song that I bet is gonna mean a LOT to kids fighting depression
Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan with Cowboys Cry Too. okay it's shallow and corny but genuinely a shallow and corny song about how men shouldn't be afraid to have feelings is what a lot of men need
bringing the full version of this post back around because people are pissing me off today
for this july the fourth of ours, i'd like to add Bryan Andrew's album "Independence Day" he put out two days ago if you also think country music should return to redneck values (the punching fascists kind of redneck values
