In case you haven't yet heard what's been evolving here on the east coast...

The NL government told Sheshatshiu Innu First Nation that they were not allowed to publicly state that Innu history in Labrador goes back further than 300 years, in the prepared cultural exhibit for Indigenous Peoples Day. Jodie Ashini, the cultural guardian behind the exhibit, refused to bow down to this colonial rewrite of history.

Subsequently, after a series of protests, NL Premier Tony Wakeham and Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation Minister Lela Evans released a half-assed apology, instead of meeting the very simple demand from the Innu leaders: A written commitment to stop promoting a false colonial narrative. The Innu Nation rejected these "apologies", and officially closed the exhibit.

Miawpukek Mi'kmaq have already released an official statement of support. It is my personal hope that more First Nations on the Atlantic do the same. (The news is only just starting to spread here in NS.)

“Yeah we are caping your history at 300 years for YOUR cultural museum, also all of these artifacts and stories that come prior to when we start acknowledging y’all cannot be used and you cannot say that you’re related to them, this is sane and not insanely racist decision!”

The genocide has never stopped! Cultural genocide is genocide!

PLEASE READ THIS POST

Posting again for my friend Arágidi. They are pouring the majority of their time and energy into caring for their community in Minnesota right now—meanwhile, their housing continues to be in jeopardy. They are one of the most compassionate and wonderful people I know, in addition to being an immensely talented artist and Native icon in their local drag scene. I could speak highly about them for paragraphs on paragraphs, but I want to keep this post short.

Any help anyone can offer would be immensely appreciated. They have a large and loving community so they’re not alone in this, but it’s a big goal and I want to do what I can to pitch in for them.

This is due this coming Friday, January 30th. Anything raised above and beyond will go to next month’s rent. It’s been a hard couple years for them—please help me take care of my friend.

If I made a Discord channel specifically for Native American / First Nations / Indigenous Creatives with a focus on writing and content creation (Youtube, Tiktok, Twitch, etc) who would be interested in joining?

This would be my first time running a Discord so anybody (Indigenous ONLY) with experience who would be interested in being a mod would be most helpful!

[walker-walker-fashion-baby]

It is open for passing folks?

[the-aila-test]

Biracial/white-presenting, yes.

And I'm seriously considering this so I'm bringing this back. Who would be interested?

Just saw an interview of someone claiming to be a neighbour of the suspect they've arrested for Charlie Kirk's murder.

The guy was saying something along the lines of "yeah hes a really nice guy. Really lovely parents; really great guy. Never had an issue with him. Clearly he had something evil inside him though."

So... its already starting. The dude's been in custody for five seconds, and people are already wholly assuming his guilt. Even a neighbour who has known him for years and voluntarily describes him as a great guy who he never had any issues with.

So: reminder that people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Reminder that the person they have in custody right now is a SUSPECT, not the confirmed killer.

Do NOT do with this guy the same thing that has happened with Luigi Mangione, where he is widely believed as guilty without having been proved so in a court of law. Do NOT do the work of the propaganda machine for them.

[nataref]

EXACTLY y'all stop believing cops its innocent until PROVEN GUILTY period. There is no hard evidence. Stop with the bs.

Really been getting into moles lately

for those who don’t remember, “mole interest” was an experiment I did 2 years ago because I wanted to test what causes tags to go trending on tumblr. My hypothesis was that all it takes is one (1) post blowing up in an established tag to make the entire tag trend.

I had randomly generated 2 words, which is where “mole interest” came from. I failed to consider that by generating a new tag, it wouldn’t have had enough posts already in it to prove what I now call “the mole interest effect”.

But now it does.

In 2023, we said “fuck it” a la mythbusters and ended up doing whatever it took to get #mole interest to trend. And it did. And it happened to be September 11th that day, and we managed to get #mole interest to trend ABOVE #9/11.

So, in the name of science, I ask you to reblog just this post. Let’s put the mole interest effect to the test.

Y'all are gonna try to guilt me and others into having sympathy for Charlie Kirk today and I just wanna remind you that if you were shot in cold blood he'd say it was the cost of keeping the second amendment and worth it. Remember that. I have as much sympathy for him as he has had for other victims of gun violence✌🏻

pics or it didn't happen.

anon, I really am that serious

#direct action !!!!!

the thin white woman who owned the place saw us smashing scales, came outside, and asked, “getting out some frustration?” in the most condescending way possible. I replied, “we’re demonstrating to raise awareness of the risks of intentional weight loss. virtually all diets fail and prescribed weight loss is the leading predictor of eating disorders.” she asked, “why me?! why my clinic?” I said “it’s just your unlucky day.” (I mean, I only picked her clinic because it had the words “CHICAGO WEIGHT LOSS” plastered on the front of it). we packed it up shortly after she threatened to call the cops, but the poster somehow traveled to the suburbs. people were scanning the QR code days after the protest, tens of miles away.
