THE LESBIAN AGENDA IS SUCCEEDING

Hey did you know that this is literally just pink colonialism?

[lizardbby]

in this month, which is both pride and indigenous history month, please unpack ur “i wanna move to a farm w my wife uwu” shit and realize it holds an inherent expectation of access to land stolen from indigenous people. it’s irresponsible to move to a rural area to ““live off the land”” without giving serious thought to whose land it was before white settlers took it over and how you can work to undo that theft. becoming a white settler yourself ain’t it.

[bluntedblade]

I’ve been seeing alot of these kind of posts targeting white people who want to purchase land, and as a native person myself, the hostility is really unfounded. I get what it’s all going for but it’s just barking up the wrong tree. Yes, the land is stolen. And it was stolen a long time ago, and many aboriginal people were hurt when the land taken and abused. There’s nothing wrong with a few people on the internet having daydreams about managing a farm.

I wasn’t able to discern race from either of the above two responses, so I’m not going to make any assumptions, but I have seen a few of these posts posted by white people. So, if you’re a white person, instead of crying “colonialism!” Out on the internet because people want to own a farm, actually go out and help native people. Learn their cultures and languages, and help preserve them. Donate your time and money to fundraisers and organizations that help native people. Guilt shaming other people for purchasing land that was long taken from us long ago doesn’t actually help natives! If you’re looking for places to donate, please help the local Indian Bands in your provinces, states, county, etc. Do a cursory search on the internet or ask around near where you live. You’ll find something that you can actually do to help someone who needs that help right now.

For example, I’m Haida- from the north-west coast people who live on Haida Gwaii. Our language is dying, and only twelves dozen speakers are still alive after heavy erasure. You can learn some of the language here (for free!:

http://www.haidalanguage.org/

And even watch a recent documentary to see what life on the island is like today, (I’m not sure if you watch it for free or not, I purchased a Blu-Ray copy of the film):

http://haidagwaiifilm.com/

You can even donate some money to the Haida museum on the island:

http://haidagwaiimuseum.ca/support-the-museum/

This is some research I just did right now. Please, if you’re concerned about what has happened in the past, and what you can do to fix it, please do something worthwhile. Getting mad at strangers who want to own some land doesn’t get native people anywhere.

The actual article is worth reading if you have the time (it’s a pretty fast read with lots of pictures) - one of the ranchers highlighted is a member of the Lakota nation.

here is the statement of brandon bernard’s legal team, who put it far better than i ever could. 

[ID: Attorney statement re: execution of Brandon Bernard.

“Tonight, those of us who love Brandon Bernard - and we are many - are full of righteous anger and deep sadness at the actions of the federal government in taking his life. Brandon’s live mattered. To us, his legal team, to his two beautiful and talented daughters, to his mother, brother, and sister, and to the countless people around the country who came to know him and his story in recent weeks.

Brandon made one terrible mistake at age 18. But he did not kill anyone, and he never stopped feeling shamed and profound remorse for his actions in the crime that took the lives of Todd and Stacie Bagley. And he spent the rest of his life sincerely trying to show, as he put it, that he “was not that person”. Brandon showed us that and so much more, carrying himself with grace and generosity, and always treating everyone around him with kindness and respect. He worked to help other troubled kids avoid similar devastating mistakes, and he lived every day his commitment to serving both God and humanity. 

Many things went wrong to put Brandon on death row, including egregious government misconduct in concealing evidence and misleading the jury, which the courts refused to remedy. Before Brandon’s execution, five of the jurors who sentenced him to death said they no longer stood by that verdict. They joined the lead appellate prosecutor on Brandon’s case in urging President Trump to commute his death sentence to life without parole. Those pleas for clemency were joined by hundreds of thousands of supporters, including celebrities, faith leaders, and members of the United States Congress.

Brandon’s execution is a stain on America’s criminal justice system. But I pray that even in his death, Brandon will advance his commitment to helping others by moving us closer to a time when this country does not pointlessly and maliciously kill young Black men who pose no threat to anyone, when we hold prosecutors to the highest standards of integrity in every case, and when our leaders exercise their moral authority where it is needed. 

We were proud to call Brandon our client and our friend, and we will miss him greatly.”

-Robert C. Owen, attorney for Brandon Bernard

this execution is a needlessly cruel and inhumane act as well as a great tragedy.

brandon bernard’s is not the only federal execution scheduled. according to the bbc, trump has five executions scheduled up until january 20th. we need to keep fighting so that these executions do not happen.

i wish brandon’s family all the best and i’m so sorry we could not do more.

i’m including a few links to spread awareness and inform people. 

https://innocenceproject.org/ is an organization that uses modern forensic technology to overturn wrongful convictions.

https://prisonbookprogram.org/for-people-in-prison/national-prisoner-resource-list/ is a list of resources that those who have loved ones in prison or who are in prison can use. it has links to several other similar lists as well.

https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/ is a website that provides information about capital punishment in the united states. one of the first things written on their website is “At least 18 people have been executed despite serious doubts about their guilt. Official misconduct is the leading cause of wrongful capital convictions.”

brandon’s life mattered. black lives matter. we need to keep up this energy to fight for justice in an unjust criminal system even when his name is not trending on twitter anymore.

Its getting a little too cold for short jorts and boots only. Might have to bring out the chaps (sans pants)

[wlwbeauty-blog]

Concept: you’ve been married to your wife for 3 years. You wake up in your bed before she does, your nose cold but your body warm. Careful not to wake her, you get out of bed and your toes curl when your feet hit the cold floor. You brew a pot of coffee and take a cup, making sure to leave enough for her. You pull on a big sweater and walk out onto your deck, sitting in a big wood chair to look out over the forest. The leaves are orange and edged with frost. All is quiet as the sun rises over the trees. You hear the door opening behind you and your wife sits down next to you, wrapping the comforter from your bed around both of you shoulders. You sit there like that until the sun is well up and your coffee cups are empty.
